all filler tobaccos are classified into
seven grades. Only the top three grades
pass White Owls strict requirements.
That's why we can truthfully say
White Owls are made only from our

At the present moment, there is
enough Grade A Vintage filler to-

Chimpanzee's Vision Is
as Keen as That of Man

BY means Of a new method of test
ing animal vision chimpanzees have
been found to possess about the same
keenness ofeyesight as man. The meth
cd of testing the vision of the apes, a
professor of Yale university explained
to members Of the American Psyche
logical association, was to place food
in a box having a circle with black
and white stripes on it and none In a
similar box having plain clear circle.
The width of the stripes was then va.
ried by the examiner very gradually
until they were so narrow as to, be In
visible to the eyes of the subject. The
keener the eyes, the narrower the
stripes could be made before the sub
ject would be confused and be unable
to choose the right box. Human be-
ings tested with the same boxes were
allowed to say which had the stripes.
One Of the chimpanzees tested in
the course Of these experiments was
found to have eyesight about the same
as that of human adults tested, and
definitely better than that of a five
year-old child. The vision of another
chimpanzee tested did not appear quite
as good as that of the first one, but
this was thought to be due to the an
imal's physiological condition at the
time.

Setting Egg ON End

The story of Christopher Columbus
setting the egg on end can be found
in any good biography Of Columbus
and is as follows: After the discover.
er had returned from his second voy-
age, the honors. that he received
aroused the envy of the retainers of
the Spanish court. At dinner given
him, the conversation turned, Of
course, upon the wonderful new world
just found. One of the courtiers en-
deavored to depreciate the value of
the discovery. and said that more had
been made Of the achievement. In his
opinion, than it deserved. For reply
to these sighting remarks, Columbus
took up an egg and asked II anyone
could make 1t stand on end. When
the others had tried in vain TO ac-
complish the feat. Columbus struck
the egg on the table, breaking It's
shell, and thus making it stand up
right. why, anyone can do that"
cried the courtiers. Certainly, when
have shown You the way" replied Co.
lumbus, and made no further remarks.

TYPOGRAPHY Figures in
Supply of p. o. st


"a photography, the third division of
the printing industry, furnishes large
share of all stamps printed. To some
PEOPLE this kind Of printing brings
to mind only the cheapest kind Of
work, declares writer in the Chicago
Tribune, but this is not the fault Of
TYPOGRAPHY, but is due rather to the
fact that It is used under conditions
where all forms Of printing would be
equally poor. Very often a country
will employ an engraving house to de.
sign its stamps and print the first sup
plies, and when these are exhausted
turn over samples to local shop to
duplicate.
The whole process of photography Is
based on the fact that oil and water
do not mix, and uses for printing
plates certain kinds of stone or metal,
which retain both the ink and the
water during the printing. Transfer
designs are printed from the die in
special ink and laid down on litho-
graphic stone or metal plate. This
special ink has an affinity for greasy
ink and is repellant to water. If the
stone is now mOistened and an linking
roller passed over the surface the ink
will adhere to the transferred designs,
and a print may be taken just as If
the designs projected as in Typography.
The poor photography found in some
stamps is due to carelessness in MAX
ing transfers and to WORKOUT plates.
When properly done it would puzzle
an expert to decide whether certain
stamp is autographed or Typographical
If he Is furnished with single copy.

Ter practice of it which will steadily
enrich and deepen our understanding
of it.
