At the present time deter mined drive is being urged by the Society of Philatelic Americans for the purpose, of having the next congress amend an existing statute with respect to the pub lication of stamp illustrations, so that it will be possible under the law to reproduce, under proper restrictions, photographs of Uni- ted States stamps. The s. P. A. has already named g. committee to press this action with the post office department, the United States secret -ervice branch of the treasury department and mem- bers of congress themselves. Of- ficials of both the post office and treasury departments now have the matter under consideration, and a recommendation from each department is expected to be made to the senate and house post of- flee committees at the outset of the coming session of congress.
 While there have been To com II :tments on the subject from either depar,- it has been learned on the best of authority
 that there is an excellent chance of favorable recommendations be- ing passed a, -lg to Capitol Hill, although there is a tendency on the part of the treasury depart ment to h the reproduction of United States stamp photographs to governmen. publications.

One of the local police chiefs most striking experiences at the convention, he said, was seeing that a huge percentage of the poEce chiefs and officials at the conven- tion wore the same type blue serge shirt that was adopted as reglla- tion for Brass City bluecoats sev- eral months ago. The weather was extremely hot at Kansas City, ne said, and yet many of the OFFICIALS wore the shirt that was subjected tO criticism here on the ground that it was uncomfortable in the warm, summer months. His visit to the convention proved to Superintend- ent Roach that he was correct m his claim that the type of shirt adopted here was in use in hundreoS of police departments, and provloeo the most economical, comfortaDle and neat-looking shirt for an-year wear.

He Glso made Q tour of Fort Leavenworth penitentiary, where violators of the narcotics laws of the government are incar- cerated. Numerous convention speakers explained in detail the latest strides made by their respective depart ments in combating crime. Super intendent Roach is now considering the adoption of some of the sug- gestions that were voiced by famous police officers.
 The convention brought out forcl- bly the fact that modern science has brought great assistance to police departments. Several ne" devices were displayed and demon strated at the convention. Superintendent Roach was nameo a member of the Internationa Police Chiefs Association shortl. after his appointment as head oi the local department.
