Wheatley expressed his appreciation
to his students, declaring that by their
action they had given approval to the
school they we're attending.
Mr.. Wheatley explained that In his
youth he himself had sat In the same
lecture halls Of National University
that his present classes occupied, be-
ing graduated by National in 1908.
The instructors then, notably Mister
Frederick Siddons," who later became

gave him the encouragement and the
training to enter the legal profession
as practitioner.
Whatever success ! have attained.
whatever distinctions have come to me
at the bar-and this accord Of yours
in response to that election Is one of
these things" Mr.. Wheatley said, "is
due entirely to this school and the
men who graced its lecture platforms.
So 1t Is, say, that when you greet
me as you have, you salute your own
school"
Mr.. Wheatley, native Of Washing
ton, received his basic academic edu-
cation in the District of Columbia
public schools. He received the bache-
lor of laws degree at National In 1903,
and the master Of laws degree the
following year. He was admitted to
the bar in 1908 and began practice
Immediately. Besides his practice and
instruction in law at National, Mr
Wheatley is nationally-known through
his writings on legal subjects. Promi-
nent among his contribution to legal
literature is his authorship for more
than 20 years of the Digest of the
District of Columbia Laws for the
Martindale Law Dictionary.

BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

The Star has learned that the Ma
tional Parks stamps will not be is
sued in imperforate condition. An
appeal for "a collectors edition" OF
the unfinished sheets distributed by
Postmaster General James A. Farley
to friends has been rejected. The
special printings, had they been
ordered, would have cost collectors ap-
proximately $6,000,000, and would
have had a deleterious effect upon
philately. They, therefore, were op-
posed by representatives Of the lead
ing philatelic organizations.
Meanwhile, MIR. Farley is reported
to be considering the feasibility of the
suggestion of the American Philatelic
Society for the recall of the irregular
sheets. The total number Of these,
records Of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing show, Is more than a
hundred, and their aggregate market
value has been estimated at $500, 1000.
Protests filed by the Westchester
Stamp Club of New York, the Garfield
Perry Stamp Club of Ohio, the Santa
Monica Stamp Club of California, the
Pittsburgh Philatelic Society, the Nor
folk Philatelic Society, the Washing
ton Philatelic Society and other
groups have established the outlaw
status of the sheets, and even if they
are listed in SCOTS Standard Stamp
Catalog they will be rated as con-
traband by the philatelic public.
The whole matter has been widely
discussed in both official and nom
official circles, and there may be fur
ther developments. But collectors
need not be apprehensive Of any at
tempt on the part of the Post Office
Department to cash in" on its mis-
take" at the expense Of patrons Of
the Philatelic Agency. The danger of
the United States doing what Bavaria
did in 1919 and Lithuania in 1921 has
been eliminated. No announcement
has been made, but it Is known that
ruled against that possibility.

As an alternative suggestion for the
design of the Connecticut stamp,
C G. Alton Means, stamp editor, New
Haven Register, advocates q map Of
the State showing Its principal rivers,
the location of its early settlements
and the routes taken by settlers. The
idea thus outlined Is similar to that
Of the 10-cent Louisiana Purchase
commemorative of 1904.
The Washington correspondent Of
the New York Sun continues to insist
that the Parks stamps are COM
memoratives, but he does not appear
to realize that classifying them in
that category would have the effect
of degrading or stultifying legitimate
stamps of the memorial variety. In
sober fact, the Parks set was an ad-
vertising stunt, designed to promote
greater interest in the Nations play
grounds. It had no other purpose
or significance.
Parks stamps are having tremen-
douS vogue in Great Britain, but
dealers complain that they cannot
obtain good cancelled specimens to
meet the demand.

to replace obsolete buildings or to pro-
vide quarters not available for the
needed income groups. Present sound
structures can be altered, trimmed,
enlarged or moved to gain better
community plan, with great savings
over new construction. There will be
a lower initial investment and lower
rentals. With varying amortization
rates, as retained properties become
obsolete in future years they can be
replaced by new buildings embracing
contemporary ideas in construction
and planning. Then each district will
be kept alive and vital with constant
changes and improvements. Here We
