 "Seems to me they are going more than coming these days" she added, smiling and referring to her grandchildren's many activities. At that very moment her granddaugh- ter Anna, now Mrs. Boettiger, clad in riding brooches, was climbing over the side of her brothers open roadster in the driveway outside the library window. When she was a little girl, her grandmother, who loved to see her in dainty clothes, demonstrated with her for wearing blue. jeans overalls like the boys wore.

Mrs. Kleeman, coming home from Europe, was annoyed at having to take later boat than she had intended. Mrs. Roosevelt on the other hand, was determined to take that particular boat and nearly missed it. In fact, 1t left Cherbourg without her, but she chartered a tug, pursued the vessel successfully and Mrs. Kleeman ad- miringly watched as she climbed nimbly up the side by means of the rope ladder (she was then 70). Mrs. Kleeman sat at the same table as Mrs. Roosevelt during the voy- age and listened enchanted to the tales the white-haired, brown-eyed grande dame told so well.
 After that, she often mentioned to Mrs. Roosevelt her hope that

 Mrs. Roosevelt was in England, the book recalls, when her only son contracted an illness that par- alyzed both his legs in q single day. Relatives met her at the dock and told her the news as gently as possible. Mrs. Roosevelt related to Mrs. Kleeman the story of her meeting with her son.

The new stamp cOmmem. Orating the completion of Boulder Dam will be offered for sale September 2S at Boulder City, New, and is ex- pected to go on sale at the lo- cal post office September 80.

Collectors wo wish first day cancellations may send not more than 10 sclf-addrcsscd covers with money orders to the pOstmas- ter at Boulder City, Ncv.
 Postal stamp authorities are still waiting receipt of new list of tentative designs for he Michigan Centennial stamp, which is to be released later in the fall. The Michi- gan Historical society has be.n asked by the post office department to prepare this list, and as soon as the design pro- posals are received in Wash- ington, the most appropriate one will be selected and sent to the postmaster general and the president for approval. While there is little chance of the post office department is- suing stamp commemorating the inauguration of a trans Pacific air mail service within the next few months, 1t Is be- lieved that the department will authorize a special cachet at the time that this long over- water air mail service begins.
 During the past few months the demand for Silver Jubilee stamps of Great Britain, her dOlniniOns, colonies and pro- tcctoratcs increased and Stim- uIatcd the trade. Collectors, whether interested in British issues normally or not, are aware of the possibilities of an excellent investment. For the most part, because of the dif- fcuIty of obtaining these stamps, collectors have placed their wants in the hands or dealers.
 The center of the demand. of course, was Great Britain. The four stamps of the moth CT country were available throughout the British isles only. Each of the dominions were responsible for their own sets. but the London market generally received the largest shipments. It was in the many crown colonies and protect orates that the shortage of supplies became apparent. A certain quantity was made available to British dealers .nly at the offices of the Crown Agents in London simultaneously with the re- lease in the various posses sions.

UNIFORM TRAFFIC
 AIM OF OFFICERS
Police Chiefs Vote. to Study Laws in Bigger
 Cities at Meeting


 Uniform traffic laws for Water- bury, Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and the other large communities of the state are the goal of the Connecticut Police Chiefs association, of which Supt. Joseph H. Mclean is a member At it's meeting in Milford Thurs. day the association voted in favor of proposal to have traffic laws in the larger cities studied, and a report made to the State Traffic Commission.
 One chief will be appointed from each county, though 1t Is probable that two will be named for New Haven county so that full reports on conditions in both New Haven and Waterbury may be made.
 The drive for uniform traffic laws will also be extended to the smaller towns, as soon as reports have been made on the cities. The chiefs association hopes that by the end of it's campaign, the cities and towns of the state will have traffic ordinances that are similar in their general provisions.
 At the present time, a driver from one city, when he goes into another, often finds himself halted for violations of traffic regulations that he did not know existed. Some towns have definite speed limits, others have none; in the towns where limits have been set, they vary so greatly as to be al- most useless.
 The police chiefs believe that the adoption of uniform traffic laws, though its accomplishment would involve much labor and ef- fort, would be of incalucable val ue to motorists of the state.
 The special committees to study the problem will be appointed next week.

Reveals F. D. R.'s Boyhood

The great event of the eighty first birthday celebration is the publication of Mrs. Roosevelt's life story, Gracious Lady,, written by Rita S. Halle Kleeman. we'll known magazine writer and au- htor and longtime friend of Mrs. Roosevelt.
 "It Is a beautiful story of a time that can never come again and of very great lady," ven- tured, as we Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Kleeman and myself -- sat about the tea table.
 Tt is beautiful because of the way Rita has done it," promptly declared Mrs. Roosevelt, smiling at Mrs. Kleeman. My life was mt exciting at all. but she has made it sound thrilling"
 Then Mrs. Rooseevlt, more or less unconsciously, revealed how the man who, as Chief Executive of his nation, constantly must face a barrage of criticism, actually re- ceived little of 1t in his boyhood home life but nevertheless was made to learn the lesson of unsel- fish giving and taking" which often is denied to an only child.
 Who had most to do with bringing up your son." I asked Mrs. Roosevelt, you or his father?" Well, I believe we shared the responsibility" she answered. "F'ranklin's father was always afraid, because he was an only much. So we always tried hard not child, that we would nag him too to do that.
 In a Storm at Sea People talk of the difficulties of bringing up an only child, but with Franklin. He was always sweet and good. And luckily, ours was a large clan, go he had plenty of cousins to keep him from being selfish and to teach him that he couldn't have everything his own way"
 Mrs. Roosevelt told, too, a touching story of the time when Franklin was three and, on Easter morning, sailing home from Eur ope, the family was in a storm at sea. Mrs. Roosevelt calmly said to her husband: we seem to be going down." And he replied: Tt does look like it."
 They coYd hear the water rushing ovef their heads and al- most immediately 1t began to come into their cabin.
 Mrs. Roosevelt said quietly: "I never get frightened and I was not then. But when the water was high enough to touch the bot tom of fur coat that was hang ing by my berth. I took it and wrapped it around the baby, say ing to my husband: Poor little boy, if he must go down, he is going down warm
 Everybody around the table had had two cups of tea. Mrs. Roose- welt, always genuinely solicitous
