of this summary of philately: Post

rageous prices" he says.
Under the ruling of the N r. A
authorities, "the 1885 Scott stamp cat
alogue is trade book. 1t is manu-
factured and published for sale by
book stores, and the major percentage
of the sale of the book is through reg
ular book dealers. 1t is not catalogue
in the usual accepted meaning of the
word"
But. in the Judgment Of collectors
the volume is a trade list, produced
primarily to advertise the stamps
which the Scott Co. has on sale.
A controversy Is foreshadowed by the
difference between the two views.
From Dr. Marc Peter, Minister OF
Switzerland, the following an
nouncement has been received: "On
December / will again be issued the
four traditional Swiss Pro Juventute
stamps which constitute continual

will be kept equal in size, color and

In the 1o-centime, violet, we see a
girl from the canton Valais in the
costume of Saviese, with fabric hat

tune may seem to the beholder, he
will involuntarily be reminded Of the
richness of the grapes which ripen
there in the sunny valley around the
stately Castle of VALERIE.
1.-THE 20-centime stamp brings us
into Romansch Switzerland and shows
a girl of the Engadine from st. Moritz,
wearing small hood, comb and richly
adorned dress. What would be more
fitting setting for this handsome
mountain girl than the sunny high
land with the house of stone and the
peaceful woodland?
These three stamps are made by
the copper plate engraving process
and are printed on white dull postage
stamp paper without watermark.
THE 30-centime issue brings us, in
the series of famous men, the portrait
of the eminent Bernese statesman,
scientist and poet, Albrecht Won Hal
Ter. The painter, Karl Bickel, Wal

engraved in steel. Printing was done

number of collectors, as well as by the
New York Sun, the Cleveland Plain
Dealer and many other newspapers.
Complaints are general concerning
poor service at Omaha on the occasion
of the f1rst-day sale of the special
souvenir sheets Of the 1-cent Yosemite
stamp. Cancellations were carelessly
applied and covers were cruelty mis-
handled. Dealers and service repre-
sentatives lost heavily-one man alone
had 200 of the sheets ruined.
Washington service, on the other
hand, was approximately perfect, and,
since only 6,703 covers were post
marked in the Capital, those who
preferred the local marking received
something rare enough to be worth
having as well as clean enough to
deserve place in collection.
People may have forgotten the fact,
but it is true nevertheless that the
Byrd Antarctic Expedition Stamp of
1888 originally was proposed in 1928.
The agitation, however, was discour-
aged by collectors, and when the
matter came to the attention of the
Post ONCE Department it was denied
approval.
