want her to have it to remember me by.
II began to collect stamps in 1866.
United States issues were more interest
ing to me than those of other countries.
Some European governments bring out
very handsome stamps, but I am an
American and I prefer American
stamps.
After collecting for a few years, I
began to sell stamps, and since had
five children to support it was very
helpful to have good side line Of
that kind. I made an arrangement
with cigar store proprietor on Penn
sylvania avenue to display my offerings,
and We developed quite q nice business.
Stamps we sold in those early days for
IS cents now are worth S100. Alto
gether, I suppose have sold S50,000
worth of stamps to collectors old and
amateur. Representative Ackerman and
Senator Frelinghuysen both bought
from me"

had kept some of those I have parted

not so bad. Stamp prices have risen

A life member of the American Phi
latelic Society and the Society Of Phi
latelic Americans. Mr.. Houston has
been honored by both organizations for
his services to stamps. He also has
been a member Of the Association of
Oldest Inhabitants for many years. He
still attends the meetings of stamp
clubs, civic bodies and historical socie-
ties, and is a familiar and well loved
figure in such gatherings.
At the door, at the end of the inter-
view, Mr.. Houston said: Perhaps you
would like to mention my dog. He was
a Newfoundland named Ollie, and he
lived to be 10 years old He was the

DISEASES MENACE
ANIMAL THIEF
Stealing Of 80 Guinea Pigs
and Rabbits Upsets ,Ex-

BY theAssociated Press.
LINCOLN, -Nebr, August 5-The
theft Of 80 rabbits and guinea pigs, in
cluding some inoculated, with disease,
had Lincoln police and health authori-
ties on the alert today trying to save
the thief from harm.
Eaten, the animals might spread tu-
berculosis or arthritis, medical authori-
ties said, and in any event their loss
would upset important experiments.
Mrs. Gladys rSmits, superintendent of
the Lincoln General Hospital, where the
theft occurred, called on the thief
through the newspapers to return the
animals at once if he valued his life
Police Chief w. c. Condit issued a
public appeal for information about
any one acquiring rabbits or guinea
pigs and instructed his entire force to
seek clues. l..
Suspicion pointed to a man seen loi-
tering near the hospital. The 20 rab-
bits and 4 guinea pigs were taken from
cages on the hospital grounds, where
they had been placed because Of heat
in their regular attic quarters.
Doctors conducting experiments with
danger of contracting disease unless
they were eaten.
DR.. H. E. Harvey of Lincoln was the
most keenly disappointed perhaps
among the physicians. His experiments
with rabbits, to determine the types Of
kidney and liver ailments which cause
convulsions, extended back for two years.
Mrs. Smits said the experiments had
attracted considerable interest in the
medical profession and that some Of
them had been reported in medical
journals.

EXPORTERS BROUGHT
UNDER CODE POLICY
Methods Outlined for Procedure
That Will Help Competitive
Position of Firms.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 5-The Ma
tional Foreign Trade Council in letter
sent yesterday to 1000 exporters set
forth methods enabling these firms to
conform to the national industrial re-
covery act and still maintain their COM
petitive position with foreign producers.
Some. codes, the council, said, have
been drafted to cover manufacturing
and selling operations outside the United
States.
This, of course, is simply an mad
vertence on the part Of the craftsmen
of these Codes" the council added,
land inasmuch as the concern of the
codes at present is almost entirely with
domestic manufacturing and distribu-
tion, 1t Is suggested to firms I" that
provisions that It concerns
manufacturing carried on within the
continental United States, and in
regard to sales, that the code con-
Germs sales for consumption within
the continental States.
THE fact that no blanket exemption
for exports is necessary at the present
time should not minimize the necessity
of inserting definite statement in each
code, as above, leaving the way clear SO
that exports will be appropriately dealt
with as and when further study of the
matter shall indicate the proper ar
rangements to be made in conformity
with the act"

AID FOR TOBACCO
Secretary Promises Help in Cut
ting Output and Raising Prices
at Atlanta Session.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, August 5.-Secretary Henry
Wallace said here today the Department
of Agriculture stood ready to help
tobacco growers in cutting production
and bettering prices if there Is "senti-
ment among the growers themselves for
such an agreement"
The Secretary, speaking at cotton
control conference here, commended
Southern farmers for coming through"
on the cotton reduction program, and
then discussed various other phases OF
agriculture.
He said the powers of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration act
were broad enough to help tobacco
growers and thought 1t would be well
if the growers considered the domestic
allotment plan which the wheat growers"
have sponsored.
The department, he asserted, has
plans which We think will work for
tobacco" by placing a processing tax on
tobacco manufacturers and passing 1t
back to producers if an acreage reduc-
tion agreement, over period Of several
years, could be reached.
Gov. Eugene Talmadge, in introducing
the Secretary, said he wanted Mr..
Wallace to know there is something
wrong when five big companies get rich
of OF tobacco, and the growers have to
sell it at below cost"
