ment point out that the prac- tice of giving United States stamps as Christmas presents is growing by leaps and bounds in this country. Such gifts, they state, are not confined to the youths of the nation, but that the grown-ups too are just as much interested in exchang. ing stamps as Yuletide remem- brances among their friends.
 The 25-cent China Clipper air mail stamp has proven Q popular one among collectors throughout the United States. To date more than one million of these stamps have been han. dled by the PostofYlce Depart. ment in filling orders of post masters and collectors through out the nation. It is probable that if this demand keeps up an additional printing of this stamp will have to be given to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

DilIinger Sweetheart
To Get u. s. Help

DETROIT, Jan. 3 (IN.S0.-The
Federal Government will help sup
port Evelyn Frechette when the
sweetheart Of the late John Dill
linger is released January 80.
Gates of the Federal detention
home will swing open for the
comely half-breed Indian girl after
she takes a pauper's oath, in lieu
of a $1,000 fine imposed upon her
in June, 1884, along with a two
year sentence.
During her Incarceration, which
technically ended December 80,
Uncle Sam cut off the small pen
sion which the girl received. But
after she gets her freedom, she
will be paid again. The pauper'S
oath will not cause her to lose the
gratuity, Warden John j. Ryan
said.
Thus Uncle Sam, who furnished
cigaret money to Evelyn during
the months she was hiding out
from the law with Dillinger, will
this time help her to support her
self. She will have no oth.r
known income.
