iCREAT DEMANDS
 FOR NEW STAMP
Christmas Seal Printings Being Given Out By
 State Commission

Hartford, Dec. 12-This year for the first time in the twenty-nine years of the Christmas Seal sale. the State Tuberculosis commission has secured all four printing of the seal, according to statement made today by Miss Mabel Baird. state campaign. director. Miss Baird said that there have been so many de- mands from stamp collectors in Connecticut, that is was deemed advisable to secure a limited num- Der of the various printings, and that now there are in circulation in this state 100000 sheets of the Eureka printing. 5000 sheets of United States printing, and only 400 sheets each of the Columbian and Strobridge printings, the latter two being used more generally in the west.
 These various printings, according to pl1ilatelists, have their individual markings and may be recognized as follows: Eureka seals have an extra fold in the bottom of the skirt of the girl on seal number 60; United States seals have 8 little mark un- der the mail post on seal number 55; Strobridge seals are marked with two little brown lines under seal number 100; and the Colum- bian seals have small letter c un- der mail post on seal number 99.
 Because of the limited number of seals of the two western printings which are available in Connecticut. the supply is being distributed from the office of the State Tuberculosis commission headquarters rather than through the local associations, although any purchases will be credited to the local committees, Miss Baird said.
