 A philatelic exhibition souvenir sheet has been received from Bel gium, to indicate the display held recently in Antwerp. There are two sheets expected, the first from Charleroi, with a face value of five francs; the second from Antwerp, with g value of roc plus BOG.
 According to previous releases the show, was held from October 3 to October 10. The special stamp, showing the facade of an old building, with the inscription "Burgerhout" separating the years "18S6" and ''1936, T was printed in dark brown, g single stamp to 9 sheet. ssef

 As the result of several hundreds of protests that were sent to Henry Morgenthau, Jr., by indignant stamp collectors, the secretary Of the treasury has ordered that the surplus of the potato tax exempt stamps, which were advertised Tor sale last August, be destroyed.
 The stamps were originally is- sued for use under the potato control act and a few of them got into circulation in Florida early this year. The voiding of the act by the supreme court, however, made the stamps useless. This latest action of the treasury de- partment will permanently re- move the governments stock of stamps from the market.
