get at the people who are pulling 1t down.
 He criticized those leaders in various walks of life who state that the standards of right and wrong can change; that what was wrong centuries ago could now be right; there is no argument about the | dogma of right or wrong, or good and bad, and the substitution for words such as "useful or non-use- fur' to mitigate the strength of the others was denounced by him as side-stepping the issue or not un- derstanding 1t all all. Father 'Gillis stated that there were actually many well-informed people who did not recognize truth as such.
 In his illustration of right and wrong and good and bad, Father Gillis stated that these terms were decided by public opinion more of- ten than not, but public opinion does not make a thing right or wrong. He cited such cases as recent lynchings where the masses took matters into their own hands, spe- ficially mentioning the San Jose recent lynching and Maryland lynohing. Public opinion in these instances did not make these dem- onstrations right, he stated. The gangster was cited as an example of 9 menace to society, the cure for which could not be achieved by going personally to the gang ster.
 Pays Tribute to Bishop Milan
 Father Gillis' examples were all apt and convincings He closed his talk by stating that a Catholic with his code of morals and ethics with definite knowledge of right and wrong, unchanging, has the necessary moral and ethical train- ing to assist in the reconstruction of society; Catholic who believes in an infallible authority that does not change with every wind, since the doctrines of the church can- not change. Father Gillis, pre- faced his talk with splendid tri- bute to the late Bishop Milan, whom he knew in early life. Ger

A popular leader in Capital phil
atelic circles, has had three dis
tinct careers--as a sailor, a physi-
clan and a student Of stamps. He
was born in Baltimore, entered
the Navy in 1889, served as fleet
surgeon under Admirals Decked,
Murdock and Nicholson, success
sively was commandant of the
New York and Washington Naval
Hospitals and attained his present
rank in 1926.
In philately he has been an en-
thusiastic general collector. Some
of his treasures have been ex-

It is a privilege and a pleasure
to bring to you the greeting Of the
stamp collectors of the Nations Capt.
tai and to convey to you a cordial
and heartfelt invitation to attend the
American Philatelic Society Conven-
ton and Exhibition to be held in
Washington next August.
Everything that should be done and
that can be done to insure the sue
cess of both the annual meeting and
the show Is being done, and Ohio
certainly will wish to be represented
by a large delegation. Collectors are
expected from every other State in
the Union, and the Buckeye State,
which is so notably stamp-minded,
we are confident will do its part with
enthusiasm.
For Washington, pledge the most
generous hospitality. The Washing
ton Philatelic Society and The Eve
ming and Sunday Star have joined
forces to render the occasion forever
memorable.
And I must confess to you that I
have personal, perhaps a selfish, rea-
son for wishing to do all that can
toward that end.
For many years-indeed, long
before resigned from the Post Office
Department. had been apprehensive
OF the occurrence of some accident
which would have the effect of de-
creasing general interest in stamp
collecting. You will understand, 1
am sure, why it was natural that I
should have this fear. I had been
so closely identified with the vast
progress which philately had made
that 1t would have been strange had
I not felt keen sense Of responsible
ity for its future.
AS superintendent Of the Division
Of Stamps for nearly 13 years I had
the duty to cater to and to serve the
philatelic public. came to know
many hundreds of collectors. They
sought my advice, solicited my guidl
ance, and I tried to accommodate
them.
Such being the case, imagine my
embarrassment in the event of any
sudden collapse of enthusiasm for
stamps. People have thousands of
dollars invested in their collections.
Should they lose that money, in whole
or part, they might-perhaps unjust
ly-hold me to blame. Hence the
caution which I adopted in answering
questions which involved personal
Judgment or personal preference.
And my timidity, as I think you
will agree, was an asset rather than
liability to philately in the United
States. I was wisely conservative, as
I see my record, and no one familiar
with my policies can say that I ever
led even one single collector astray.
I preached common sense, and people
who took my advice did not suffer
from so doing.
But my responsibility did not end
when resigned from the Government
service. On the contrary, I had a
larger duty, if that be possible, than
I had had before. I was independent
again. no longer bound by officialism
or bureaucracy, and I had in my
possession facts which collectors would
be advantaged to hear or to read.
I felt obliged to lecture and write, and
for the past II months that has been
the work that have been doing.
Meanwhile, things have happened
that went far to prove the correctness
Of my attitude. I need not review the

The Washington Chapter Of the
Society of Colonial Wars, at its an
nual meeting at the Hotel Mayflower
Tuesday evening, unanimously adop-
ted a resolution favoring the building
Of Museum Of American History in
the Nations Capital. To be owned
by the people and administered by
the Smithsonian Institution, the new
foundation would serve to dramatic
and illustrate the history of America
from the fifteenth to the twentieth
century. It would furnish shelter for
valuable artifacts already owned by
the Smithsonian and make possible
the acceptance and display of gifts
constantly being offered to the insti-
tuition. PhilateliStS should be inter-
ested in the project because the plans
include an exhibition hall, library,
| offices and assembly rooms assigned
to stamps.
Meanwhile, the threat OF a rival
philatelic museum, under Post Office
Department auspices, has assumed
larger proportions than ever, despite
denials on the part of department
Harold F. Ambrose, writing in the
Boston Evening Transcript Decem-
ber /, says: "Plans for the Post Office

Already 80 nations have forwarded
their current stamp displays to Post
master General James A. Farley, who
has turned them over to the Third
Assistant Postmaster General, Clinton

the new philatelic exhibition hall will
be set up.

Of this philatelic exhibition hall marks

Mr.. Farley has been asked to auth
orize stamp in commemoration Of
the 300th anniversary Of the founding
of the Boston Latin School. Senator
David I. Walsh and Representative
John Mccormick Of Massachusetts
have indorsed the appeal.
Negotiations are said to be going on
for regular transportation Of mail be-
tween the United States and Europe
via Graf Zeppelin next Spring and
Summer. New airpost stamps are in
dicated, but by no means assured.

for q big firm In Chicago. Then when
he had saved little money, he gave
that UP and we moved down South to
New Orleans.
HE had been delicate and the doc
tors thought that the warm climate
would suit him better. He was very
clever at everything to do with en-
gineering, and he brought out quite
a lot of small patents which he sold
to different companies. But all the
time, though no one knew anything
about it, he was working secretly AZ
this invention.
He was trying to find a metal
which would be lighter and stronger
than anything known now. 1t took
him nearly IL years, but at last, one
evening this Spring he came back
from the laboratory and told me that
| he had done it. He was very excited
| and he looked dreadfully tired.
He sat up talking to me about it
| till nearly midnight, and next morn
ing when I went into his room to see
how he was, I found he had died in
his name"-she drew in quick

stopped beating"
"It must have been a dreadful
shock" I said sympathetically. Were
you all alone? Wasn't your mother
with you?"
She shook her head. my mother
had been dead for three or four years.
We were quite by ourselves, except
for two colored servants. Father didn't
seem to have many friends; he hated
strangers and the only person he ever
asked to the house was his assistant
at the laboratory.
"He was young Englishman, Mr..
Trench, Just about your own age, and
his name . . '"-she drew In quick
breath-"his name was John Os-
borne"
There was q pause. Really" I
said. This is becoming distinctly
thrilling"
He didn't call himself Osborne out
there. He went under the name OF
John Oliver"
How on earth did your father run
across him?" asked.
They met in the train one day
coming down from New York. Father
was taken Ill and Osborne helped him
and looked after him. He said that
he was trying to find work, and as ne
seemed to know something about
chemistry and engineering father
offered him a job in the laboratory.
He turned out to be very useful, and
before long he became a sort of conf

man in the place who knew anything

his office. When I went to look for it
two days later it had disappeared.
Osborne had gone, too. I don't know
how he got away-in car by night l
suppose-anyhow, nobody had seen
him leave, and although inquiries
were made all over the country the
police we're never able to find the

trick like that I'd search the world
