 Coolidge stamp
 Tho postofIice department swas quick to order the Bureau of Print ing and Engraving to prepare dies for a special Coolidge stamp. It will bo of 3-cent denomination and from present indications will be in black somewhat similar to the Harding memorial issue. However, 1t will also combine ono attractive feature of the recent William Penn commemorative. 1t will be border- less. There was an almost general demand for such a stamp when news of the ex-president's death was made public. Senator David 1. Walsh introduced resolution In congress to that effect. It remains to be seen whether the Coolidge portrait will be seen on a regular issue. Taft, Harding. Wilson and Roosevelt, to mention the presi. dents of more recent memory, all appear on current issues now.
 Presidential Covers
 Uncle Sam's employees are enter- ing into the spirit of philately with vengeance. Not content with giving collectors a special agency at Washington the superintendent of the dead-letter division at Wash, ington has just suggested that cov- CTS be collected from cities or towns where presidents were born on the day of his birth. A good many collectors no doubt already have such in their possession. There isn't much that an avid cover collector misses these days. But for those who might want to start such Q collection here's a be- ginner: John Adams. Quincy, Mass, October 30; John Quincy Adams. Quincy, Mass; July II: Franklin Pierce. Hillsboro, N.

 Counsel for the boy, Attorney Richardson T. Bronson, filed a mo- ton asking the verdict be set aside on tho grounds that in charging tho jury, Judge Baldwin failed to impress on the Jury that u child ot throo years and five months Is incapable of committing contribu- tory negligence.
 Judge Baldwin pointed out in hls decision that the driver of the cur exercised duo care and at- tempted to prevent tho accident by pulling away toward the curb. He also pointed out that tho position of the child after being struck was noar the rear door of the sedan, on tho ground, showing the driver stopped almost immediately after the blow was struck. Judge Bald- win also states that the child pulled away from an older person who was with him at the time and ran directly Into the path of the ma. chine which was only 12 feet away. Tn conclusion, Judge Baldwin adds This verdict appeared to the court to be inevitable and the conclusion of the jury was eminently right" Attorney John H. Cassidy appeared for the defendant.
