collection as are the European semi
postal stamps
Il wonder how many collectors have
a complete series of the tuberculosis
stamps that have so far been issued?
I venture to say that very few have a
full set. know have not. although
several years ago undertook to build
one up. I discovered to my surprise
that it was very difficult to buy stamps
Of some of the earlier issues. I found
that there were collectors who had
been much smarter than I. They had
been saving these stamps and were
holding their extra copies at high
prices. So for several years now, as
each Christmas season comes around,
keep for myself full sheet of tubercu-
losis stamps out Of the larger quantity
that 4 habitually buy for use on mail
matter. AS stamp collector. advise
all others who have this hobby to buy
and to put aside this Christmas season
a full sheet of tuberculosis stamps and
to make this a regular habit. Thus you
will be making your stamp collections
more interesting. while at the same
time helping to finance the grim and
persistent war against one of the most
dreadful enemies that has ever entered
the citadel of civilization"

A new appeal for a stamp for the
U. S. S. Constitution cold Iron
sides'), soon will be filed with Post
master General James A. Farley.
This time the plea will be sponsored
by a group of non-collectors who are
interested primarily in the patriotic
educational value which such stamp
unquestionably would have.
There is little likelihood that the
Boy Scouts stamp will appear in Feb
ruary. Instead, it probably will be
held until August and have flrst-day
sale in Washington at the opening Of
the great jamboree to be held here
during that month. Any other policy
would cost the Post ONCE Department
thousands Of dollars in cover business.
