 The fad of collecting covers and postmarks has grown so rapidly that stamp clubs every. where are recognizing It's im- portance. Government stamped postal stationery of oil coun- tries Is included under this heading, and Is generally rec fcrred to aS entlres. One of the most private collections of post cards was collected by King George V. Dr. Ascher's catalog lists over 2A,000 major varieties of stamped postal stationery.
 Cards and envelopes may be filed in dust proof boxes in the order of their issue.

If foreign postmarks are desired, you should enclose on international reply coupon which may be redeemed for the proper amount of foreign post. age.

Trading May Be Regulated

Commodity exchange legislation probably will pass, following pas sage last year of the House bill regulating trading in grains, cot- ton, butter and eggs and under. taking to abolish short selling and curb manipulation in such commo- dities.
 The proposal to make the Inter- state Commerce Commission a per- manent Federal Transportation Commission probably will be pushed
 A food and drugs bill passed the Senate last session, far less dras- tic than the original so-called "T'ugwell bill" and carrying amend. ments added at behest of proprie- tary medicine interests. The House interstate commerce committee has shown every indication that 1t will urge such c bill and may bring out stronger one than the Senate measure.
 Consumer groups appear to be divided as to whether the Senate measure Is better or worse than nothing ct all.

Established in 1888

The PWA housing division was established in July, 1883, and as- signed SIPS, 100000 for slum clear ance and low-cost housing. To amellorate @ myriad of procedural difficulties, federal housing cor- poration was created in November with an allotment of $l00, 0,000, ,O00.
 The attorney general approved the corporation, but Comptroller General McCarl held it couldn't spend any money and the funds were imp0unded until the hous. ing division got them back in June, 1884.
 Meanwhile, the division studied hundreds of applications for long term, low interest loans to limited dividend corporations.
 Few of these projects could meet requirements for low rent, good planning, and slum clearance and many were being pushed by shady promoters. In the end only seven such projects were approved and completed.

It Is an assured fact, says the Christian Science Monitor, that both the Texas and Arkansas commemorates will be printed this year. The Texan to appear in March and the Arkansas in June. It Is also expected that the Soc to 75c air malls will ap- pear for use on the trans. Pacific air mall service to the Philippines. The Philippines surprised the phllatelic world by issuing . limited number of Overprinted stamps for the first return flight of the China Clipper with the result that there has been Q brisk demand for these stamps. Another stamp that has caused interest recently Is the 50c Graf Zeppe. lin" stamp issued in 1888 on the occasion of the visit of the Graf Zeppelin to the Century of Progress Exposition of that year. This stamp was suddenly withdrawn from the market and immediately Its value more than doubled.

Court Halts Work

Last April congress passed the big work-relief act and ear-marked $450, 0,000,o0 for urban housing, with permission for the president to add to that sum.
 But meanwhile the federal dls- trict court at Louisville had ruled the government couldn't acquire housing sites by exercising power of eminent domain and In July, just as PWA had finally been al- lotted money from that S46O,00O,- 900 for housing, the circuit court of appeals sustained the decision.
 That necessitated changes in many projects requiring condemna- ton and local sponsors were badly mixed up all over again.
 Little actual construction had been begun by fall. Ickes and Harry Hopkins had been having their fa- nous battle and Hopkins had won The housing division had submitted a table of IA projects totaling $3el,- 100000 and announced that t owned or had optioned the sites for 95 of the projects.

Hit by New Setback

But Roosevelt, seeking to with draw funds from projects which couldn't be completed in 1886, cut the PWA program to 37 projects in- volving only $i0000o,000. More than 100 projects were promptly sus- pended, of which c few were subse- quently reinstated.
 The way lt now stands iS that the housing division program has spent or Is spending Sl40,e00.000 for about 50 public projects and for seven limited dividend pro- jects already completed.
 Of the public projects, all have actually started construction or have let some contracts. The first one Is expected to be opened for occupancy in Atlanta in February or March. Few of the projects arc expected to offer rents possible for the really low income groups.

FESSOR ROBERT A. THORN
TON of Talladega College, Ala
bama. During his years stay
here, he has been active in local
affairs of the Twin Cities, and has
become quite well-known among
our group. His years of study and
experience as a professor, make
him a very interesting person to
interview. I am sure you will en-
joy his answers.

and math at the University of
Minnesota.

a. Do you think married cou-
Piles should take their summer va

Ans.-We believe that the vacation

vacations.
5. Do you think grand opera

GOLF DIVOTS
By Jimmy Lee

The Twin Cities Golf Club will
hold their regular monthly meeting
at the Halle @. Brown House Sat-
urday, August list, at $50 p. m.
All members are asked to be pres
ent. Very important business will
be discussed.
The Central State Tournament
has been awarded to the Valley
Club of Des Moines, Iowa. The
tournament will be held on August
9th, a thirty-six hole metal score
affair over the Woodside course,
and I hear this course is plenty
tough. Members or cities which
are a part of the Central States
are as follows: Topeka, Des
Moines, Sioux City, S. D., Kansas
City, st. Louis and the Twin Cities.
All indications point to this year
being banner year for the tourna-
ment. The Twin Cities will be well
represented-I understand there
are at least two chariot loads going
down. Those planning on going
are DR.. Crump, Johnny Williams,
"Hezzy" Allen, James Murray,
Charles Noble, Emmett Galloway.
Percy Hughes, Jimmy Hughes and
perhaps Mickey Mcclure. This
fellow Mcclure, by the way, will
be playing right in his own back
yard, Des Moines being his former
home. Well, we will be watching
you, one Mr.. Mcclure.
Believe it or not, but there was
a colored boy in the National Pub

Schenectady, N. Y. He eliminated
himself by shooting a 80, 10 over
par, but even at that am glad to
see our people getting into these
big tournaments. It does show
what we can do if we only try
more luck next time, George John
son, and I only wish more of our

ANS: No, I do not see that this
person will come to live with you.
Do not worry about it as it will not
do you any good.
A. L. S.: Do you think I can pre-

ANS: Yes, you will become a
mother. I see this will take place
the early part of November.
E. L. S.: This boy I have started
with I really care for; does he
mean what he says?
ANS: Do not put too much con-
fidence in this person. He does not
mean everything he says, so do not
let him break your heart.
W. F. A.: Will you tell me who
took my ring and will + ever get it
back?
ANS: see this was taken by a
very young person; she is very
dark and rather tall. It will be
impossible to get it back as this
person does not have it in her
possession. You will just have to
forget about it.

Personalities
By Nell DOdson


Hap's night club. Can't we have
another dance out there real soon,
boys?
There are two very distinctive
laughs around the Cities. One is
possessed by Tommy Coleman and
the other by Bill Carroll. Tommy's
laugh is a cross between a war
whoop and a Dracula snarl, while
Bills is just a plain: "Haw! Haw!
Haw!" Out at the T. G.. dance I
heard someone laughing in rath-
er weird manner but I couldn't
quite tell whether it was Carroll
or Coleman. Looked over on the
sidelines and there was Bill just
haw-hawing away at something or
other. Tom was standing nearby
but his face was perfectly straight.
Another laugh of distinctive quail
ity is that of Jimmy divers while
Ed Salter's tickled haw-haw is a
beauty, too. But the prize goes to
that giggle of Anne Seymour's
which is guaranteed to drive any
body nuts inside of twenty-four
hours.
Although Auntie's memory is
slightly blurred as to some events
of the evening, it seems that I re-
call Ruth Barksdale telling me
that her brother is due up here
soon for a visit. HMM. Her
brother, Pete Cromer, is quite a
young man, quite young man.
HMM. A leg injury kept him
from becoming a biggy-wig track
man, but even with the leg injury
he was head man of the Univer-
sity of Illinois track team, so I
heard when I was down there.
And what well-known fraternity
man got up at moonlight picnic
a few nights back, clasped a glass
of giggle-soup in one hand and re-
cited Lincoln's Gettysburg address
straight through without a single
mistake? One of the summer
school gentlemen followed up that
stirring piece of oratory by an at
tempted crack at "The Charge of
the Light Brigade" but somehow
the Light Brigade got all tangled
up with the poem, "Ghunga Dir"
and the result was the most gosh
awful mixture of poetry I've ever
heard. He started out with: "On,
on, into the Valley of Death rode
the Four Hundred!" and ended up
with: "You're a better man than
I am, Ghunga Din!" Tsk, tsk.
Among the happenings at the
T. C. dance at Hap's: Evelyn Sue
Scott got locked in the check room.
AL dSC1OCII WHICH, SO1ISO1lS

Somebody took all of the giggle-
soup on our table while everybody
in the party was dancing the first
dance. The bar ran out of
