BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

The outstanding event of the past
week in local philatelic circles was
the visit of Fred j. Melville.
He came to the Capital at the in
vitation of the Washington Philatelic
Society and was guest of honor at an
International gala night dinner at the
Hotel Carlton Monday evening.
Mr. Melville was introduced as the
acknowledged dean of philatelic
writers. editor of the Stamp Lover,

Collectors FOrtnightly, author OF
numerous books and pamphlets on
different aspects of historical and
scientific philately and president of
the Junior Philatelic Society of Great
Britain, largest organization Of its
kind in the world.
In a brief address in response the
visitor praised the Bureau of Engrav-
Ing and Printing as probably the
greatest establishment of its char
acter in existence" But he Sug-
gested that collectors should not eX-
pect too much from it. when stamps
are required to be produced in single
week the designers and engravers
necessarily are obliged to hurry with
their work" he said, land that results,
inevitably, III less attractive stamps
than would be possible if sufficient
time were allowed"
Mr.. Melville also spoke of his
memories of two previous visits to
Washington and inYl.ed local COL
1ectorS to journey to London for the
centennial festival Of the postage
stamp of 1910

1t may be stated on the highest au-
thoity that President Roosevelt de-
pores the present fever of specula-
Hon in United States stamps.
When asked recently to advise a
Junior collector. he said categoricslly
that too many Americans specialize
in the postal issues of their own
country.
The President suggested the obvious
advantages of general collecting, speci-
flying Latin America as a most de-
sirable field.

are universal in character.
The whole problem of specializa-
ton VS.. generalization was discussed
by representative philatelists attend
ing the Third International Phila-
telic Exhibition. Some of those par
ticipating in the debate expressed
confidence in the continuance of g
rising market based on speculation in
philatelic agency material; others in
sisted that a decline is certain to come
if present trends advance unchecked
to their natural elimination.
No mention, however, was made of
the Presidents attitude. It became
known later.

which opens at the Arcadia at II
a. m. tomorrow?
In the fiveyear history Of the
Dixie, no New Englander has sue
ceeded in finishing among the
first five although there have
been two to five entered in the
last four seasons.
Last year the jinx added insult
to injury when Johnny Bauers, a
Philadelphian, pocketed fifth
money, although it was the first
time Philadelphia had been repre-
Sented in a major duckpin event.

Grimly determined to do or die
in remedying this condition,
Frank Barber's crew isn't missing
a trick to get in the right fettle
for the Dixie.
Tonight Barber'S U. S. Cham

team, doubles and singles.
The Blue Ribbon lineup will be
selected from Nick Tronsky, Jack
White, Joe Gacek, Wally Pipp.
Mike Begino, Bill Tate, Bill Dente,
Ben Kosky, Pat Rooney and Gus
Kimberley.
Against them Hugh Crawley will
send Astor Clarke, No. / U. S.

second best performer last year,
Johnny Miller, one of Baltimore's
best, Count Ray Won Dreele, Bal

WITHIN 40 MILES
The Dixie title has never been
further than 40 miles away from
Washington. Twice bona fide
local residents captured it. Ollie
Pacini in 1881, and Joe Freschi
last year, while Astor Clarke, who
though he lives in nearby Claren-
don, does all his bowling in the
District, won in 1888. Ray Barnes
took the crown to Baltimore in
1882, while Bill Arnold carted the
fourth championship to Annapolis.
What city will produce the
winner this year? Richmond is
long overdue, Baltimore is anxious
to gets its second grip on it and
Norfolk, Annapolis and nearby
townships are anxious to harbor

But no one is more anxious
