A Washington dispatch TO the Bos-
ton Evening Transcript, September
q, signed by Harold F. Ambrose, said:
President Roosevelt has been invited
to attend the 1885 convention Of the
American Philatelic Society, which is
to be held in Washington next August.
From the White House the Transcript
learned today that every effort will
be made to SO arrange the Chief Ex-
ecutive's Summer schedule that he
will be able to attend and address
the convention, plans for which are
already under way
This writer can think Of nothine
that would further interest in STAMP
collecting throughout the country
than to have the President take an
| active interest in the A. P. S. con-
vention, which annually is looked
upon as the high point Of the year
from the stamp collectors standpoint
In this connection it is also planned
to have Postmaster General Farley
| participate in the convention, and the
latter has already informed the
Transcript that he will be only too
glad to do whatever he can TO aid in
making the 1885 convention the
greatest ever held"
Mekeels Weekly Stamp News says;
The why's and wherefores Of stamp
collecting are many, but once the
system has been innoculated it
clingeth closer than any blood rela-
tion-and gives a heap more help in
times of stress Once a collector, the
interest is bound to reassert itself"
There will be two stamp clubs at
the Gordon Junior High School this

more advanced collectors; the other
will serve the needs Of the beginners.
The senior group met Wednesday
