Negro Soldier Goes On Murder Rampage

 The children, crying In another room, apparently escaped tho at- tention of the gunman.
 Aberneathy with the smoking revolver in his hand, paused on the threshold as the provost guard, led by Lieutenant Matthews, surround. cd the cottage.
 The Negro glarcd wildly for a moment at the detachment. Then he fired point blank ut Matthews. He started to fec and wheeled about for second shot just as Hardley dropped him.
 Soldiers placed the bodies. in motor lorries and took them to nearby Bisbcc where funeral ser vices were being arranged.
 Fc1low-troopers said Aberneathy had been III for some time but never had shown signs of insanity. He had been convicted three years ago of manslaughter in connection with Bisbec Automobiie accident but had been granted c suspended sentence.
 Palmer and WesseIy both were veterans of the army. having en- tered wartime service in 1917. They were popular with their men, 1t was said. Palmer was 42. The Paimer's two children, are David. 12, and Loliy 10.
 Wesscly was 45 and | graduate of the quartermastcr corps motor transport school. He enlisted in San Antonio, Texas. The captain was an assistant to the quarter master and was in charge of the commissary, supply depot, laundry and other fort units.

current stamps with which VIC are familiar. However. the list of pres idents exclusive of Calvin Coolidge, still living and thus not entitled to nave a stamp In his honor, includes Martin Van Buren, W. H. Harrison. James Polk, Willard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan. Andrew Johnson, Checter Arthur.
 His Last Act
 The New York Sun stamp editor seems to have fairly reliable in- formation that Postmaster Gener- al Browns last official action, 80 far US the issuing of new stamps is concerned, will be to authorize q commemorative to honor General Thaddeus Kosciusko. tho famous PoliBh-American patriot; 1883 will mark tho 150th anniversary of his naturalization as an American citl- zen. Like General Casimir Pulaski Koscuisko was Revolutionary war hero. one of tho many dash ing European soldiers who cnme to our aid. Senator David I. Walsh last week introduced resolution in congress to issue q commemor- ative stamp honoring Koscuscko. However, with the three-cent postage rate still in effect the post mastcr-general might hesitate be- fore authorizing q thrcc-cent K0s- ciusko stamp. There have been only q few of this denomination. And the chances are tho democrats may bring the first class rate back to two cents which would simply make the Koscuisko q philatelic asset. And. of course, that is not the prime purpose of our stmaps.

DON'T QUOTE ME

Washington, Dec 30---U. P.) = The first actual sign of President HOover's forthcoming return to private life, asirc from the general freshening up that the White House has been getting, was the arrival Of sundry truckmen at ex. ecutivc of res with S1 steel filing cases.
 The filing cases were obatined by MT Hoover to house the vOiumin- 0us private papers which he has accumulated. French BtrOther, the presidents literary secretary. has begun to sort and arrange the doc. uments. It is presumed they will be shipped to Mir Hoover's home In Palo Alto, Calf.
 An ever recurring argument in Washington concerns the proper method of addressing public ofjl. cialg. 1t is "Mr President" t0 Her. bert Hoover; "Mr Secretary" for Henry l.. Btimson. The point arises tO how the postmaster general and the attorney general should be ad- dressed.
 one who claimed to know de- ciafcd that jt was "Mr Postmaster and MT Attorney. The point was carried to the protocol division of the state department, which de- cides such nIceties, the response was q crushing reversal for the seif-styIed expert. It should Dc MT Postmaster General" and MT Attorney General"

Pay to Enter

Pay to Enter
 What is believed to Do the only postofiice in the world to which an entrance fec is charged is that in Bryan Park, New York city. It is the replica of old Federal hall erected as part of the city's Washington bicentennial celcbra- ton. Most of it's usefulness is now gone, but 1t Is believed that the city may keep the building per- manently as q memorial of some sort. However 1t will never keep itself on the money taken in this year. As q financial enterprise 1t was q fiat failure. It's series of pictorial cachets were high spots in 1932'g offerings.
 Buisness Rushing
 Postofficcs that reported good Christmas business in addition to that at Bethlehem, Conn, was the one at Christmas. Florida. The community numbers only 250 per- sons, but whom the holiday season rolls around the mail that comos and goes would make observers believe that 1t was bustling me- tropoiis. The postmistress is Mrs Juanita s. Tucker. The town was named from the fact that 1t was started on Christmas day, U. s. troopers being attacked suddenly by Indians and forced to throw up Q mnke-shift fort. From 1t grew Christmas, Florida, still sought for it's postmark every December 2b.
