Immediately.

900 francs (about $1,000, ,00O. .0oO) with
surplus of 100000 francs, but the

mated the probable receipts
So it set itself the task OF finding
4,o00,000,000 francs about evenly di-
vided between reduction of expenses
and an increase in receipts.
The exact figures of the revised
budget will be known only when the
DEGREES are fully effective.

ETHICS
URGED IN ADDRESS
Washington Society Also
Hears Plea for Better
Organization.

Better organization of stamp COL
lectors and better code of ethics for
philately were advocated by James
Waldo Fawcett in an address to the
Washington Philatelic Society, Hotel
Carlton, Wednesday evening.
Perhaps we have not been suffi-
ciently mindful of the fact that new
collectors outnumber old collectors"
Fawcett said. yet most of us must
be conscious of the influx of a vast
concourse Of recently enlisted enthu-
siasts. About two years ago it was
estimated that there were 100000
collectors in the United States; today
there must be at least twice as many.
Union Source of Strength"
"But have the stamp clubs pros
pered in proportion to the publicity
which stamps in general and phila-
tely in particular have had? Person.
ally, should answer in the negative.
I cannot persuade myself that either
new or old collectors have been or
ganized for mutual advantage as they
should be. In Washington alone
IAiClC hluot NC al lCdoS 1U,UOO COllCS-
tors. but doubt If one in a hundred
is member of any philatelic club.
What the fault may be, where the
blame may lie, l do not know, but the
old axiom about union being a source
of strength should apply. The clubs
should be stronger, more influential,
and increased power can come only
through increased membership"
Fawcett also argued: There is need
for more equitable code for phila-
telic exchange. Just what principles
or methods should be agreed upon as
standards I do not venture to sug-
gest, but there has been complaint
and there should be correction. Un-
fair practices, pagan ethics as Presi-
dent Roosevelt called them. should be
banished from philately as they are
being banished from other fields Of
human enterprise"
Approves Parks Stamps.
Condemning commercial cachets.
Fawcett specifically exempted the
American War Mothers cover for the
Mothers day stamp. The organiza-
ton, he said. operates under a charter
granted by Congress, has the indorse-
ment OF high officials of the Govern
ment. was the original sponsor of the
stamp in tribute to motherhood, and
Is engaged in a worthy charitable
work
Fawcett also gave approval to the
National Parks series Of stamps as q
set which the average collector will
want. He urged continued activity in
behalf of the proposed philatelic mu-
scum, to be included in the plan for
the new National Museum Building.

The stamp is a 40-centime blue
and bears likeness of the inventor"
A writer in the Detroit News
says: Included in the pictorial Sc
ries Of postage stamps issued by the
Protectorate of Tonga in 1897 was
a 3-penny value, the central de-
sign of which shows representation
of what in the eyes of science is
one Of the most remarkable and
mysterious of all the many cyclopean
monuments of prehistoric date And
this is a case where prehistoric
must be accepted in its literal sense,
for this ancient relic predates. SO
far as is known, any world history
of which the science of archaeology
has been yet able to arrive at def
mite conclusions.
This monument is a trilith and
stands at a place called Haamonga,
upon the northeast coast of the
island of Tonga. 1t is constructed
of fossilized coral blocks. The up
rights stand IA feet above the ground
level and are buried about feet
deep. They are feet wide, 4 feet
thick and weigh 35 tons each.
Another block, morticed into the
uprightS and about the same in
weight and dimensions, completes the
structure. There is no evidence what
ever to indicate why this colossal arch
was set up, or what purpose it was
intended to serve. There are no other
stones or signs of ruins in the neigh
borhood, and the natives have no his
tory or tradition regarding it, believ-
ing it to be the handiwork of the
gods
And the most that science can
say with certainty is that the trilith
was probably designed as the gateway
of an open-air temple, that it is of
period long pre-Tongan in point of
time, and is the work of race of
megalithic instincts whose history is
lost in antiquity"
