memoration Of the death Of King

Such q stamp was actually pre-

The plate for the proposed

From all sides the question u.s.
what Is this new stamp?
No one seems to know aside
from the White House, but ex.
perts here are Of the opinion that
the portfolio before the Chief Elk
ecutive concerns the much dis
cussed Boy Scout stamp.
Yet this Is denied vigorously by
Robert e. Fellers, Superintendent
of the Division Of Stamps. The
Division head is silent on the sub
ject and refuses to intimate as to
what the big mystery really Is.
However, he does not deny that
there is q project before the Prest-
dent and that an announcement
will be forthcoming very soon,
The President Is in strict &C
cord with any Boy Scout move
ment that Is carried within the
bounds Of reason, which, Of
course, would and could only be,
relative to such an affair.
1t 80 happens that the Boy
Scouts will converge upon the Ma
tons Capital the week Of June
80. The conclave is known as the
Boy Scouts National Jamboree.
Arrangements for construction
of suitable living quarters are al
ready under way, and tents and
other temporary buildings are
well under construction on the
Virginia side Of the Arlington Me
mortal Bridge, the plot set aside
for many Of the activities.
The janboree which will take
place here was postponed from
last year because Of the infantile
paralysis scare which descended
on Washington and the nearby
territory.
Rumors have 1t that the issu-
ance Of the mystery stamps" will
formally be announced by Post
Office officials within the next
two weeks, with the stamp being
placed on sale In late June.
What else could there be but q
Boy Scout stamp under the cir.
cumstances?
The issuance Of such q stamp
would be q popular one to the
older collectors as well as the
younger set. The Boy Scouts Of
America Is q national institution,
and the untold worth and good
of such an organization for the
youth Of the land Is worthy Of any
honor by the nation that could be
bestowed.
Boy Scouts have had q definite
place In the early history Of
philately. Stamp collecting has
long been q recognized hobby Of
the organization and is looked
upon with deep interest and pride
among the various patrols or clubs
of Scout groups throughout the
country.

Will the Third Star
Appear This Time?

According to word received from
Post office officials this week an
additional order Of five million
copies each Of the Four Cent Army
and the Navy has been placed
with the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing. The first order was for
twenty-five million Of each variety.
There Is some rumor that the
Four Cent Army plate may be re-
touched in order to produce the
third star on the lapel Of General
Lee.
An order Of thirty million stamps
for each Of the Five-Cent Army
and Navy has been placed by the
Post Office Department.
