An of1cial announcement from the
Post Once Department says:
THE Bureau Of Engraving and Print.
ing Is at work on models Of one and
a three-cent stamp which are to be
issued to commemorate the Century o1
Progress Exposition to be held at Chi
cago, Ill, beginning June /. next.
"A number Of designs have been SUBJ
mitted to the Bureau depicting build.
ings at the exposition but most Of these
are not suitable for stamp purposes be-
cause OF the great amount Of detail
to be covered.
1T Is expected, however, that a
replica Of Fort Dearborn, with the Ole
stockade. will be pictured on the l.
cent stamp.
For the Scent stamp it is under
stood that replica Of the administra.
tion building on the exposition grounds
will be used.
But before any final decision is
reached on either the / or the 3-cent
stamp, the models now being pre-
pared will be submitted to the Post
master General to determine whether
they will be suitable for reproduction
purposes.
1T has also been suggested that the
fOSL Omce department. issue memorial
scent stamp in honor of the late
Mayor Anton Cermak. of Chicago kill
ed by an assassin's bullet, intended for
President Roosevelt, and definite an.
nouncement regarding this stamp will
be made within the next few days.
Stamp collectors throughout the
country have been requested not to send
in requests for the proposed commem-
orative stamps until after it has been
decided on the post Offices where they
may first be obtained as well as the
date when their sale will begin.'
A revival Of interest has been mani
tested in a stamp in tribute to former
President Calvin Coolidge The new
Postmaster General, James A. Farley
has been asked to approve the sug-
gestion.
At first glance all copies Of the Ogle-
thorpe commemorative stamp now cur
rent appear alike. Actually, there are
about twenty different varieties-causeo

which they are printed.

very little attention to the dog. Like

Hon Theodore Benson and Hon Betty Askwith Can= not See Where We Found Some of Our Words
BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE


 United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Mar 24-(UP)-The Hon Theodore Benson and the Hon Betty Askwith dangled long and short legs respectively from un- conventional perches on a dressing table in their hotel room, and dis cussed with British frankness, the following subjects:
 American taxi drivers, trunks, husbands, nice pure girls, the words 'okay" and "nerts," speakeasies, the Grand Central station, snow, Sinclair Lewis, Wodehouse, George Bernard Shaw, mushy literature, whimsy, the slums, Queen Mary's hats, the movies, shop girls, dres- ,ses, books, hospitality, the bank holiday, and Radio city. The daughters of Lord Charm wood and Lord Askwith said only a modest word or two about their own workss, but admitted they had coIlaborated on two novels and that each of them had written five books "all of which are, of course. very fine, and all of which deal with nice, pure girls" At 26 they are two of the most popular authors in England. They came to America for a sev- en weeks visit, and travelled tour ist ito save money" No, they didn't intend to write anything about America and they are not studying American characters to use them in new books. All they wanted to have was a good tnme, and they had it.
 "What do you think of American , men?" red-headed girl reporter asked them.
 The honorable Theodora and honorable Betty went into a sister act. They lifted their voices and chanted:
 "We may be wro-o-ng-but we | think they're won-n-derful." Other impressions of America l are:
 'We were disappointed in speak easies. No noise, no shooting, no f gorillas. Everything quiet, like a cathedral. Impressive. rather.
 "The Grand Central station was disappointment and a revelation No noise, no shooting, np smoke, no soot, no dust. Everything quiet like a cathedral.
