BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.
Harry L. Lindquist, in an editorial
published in Stamps Magazine for
May Is, says: I'VE believe that one
handicap to improving the artistic
quality OF United States stamps is
the fact that too many different in
dividuals in the departments must be
satisfied. II the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing and their efficient
staff of artists were given free rein
We would undoubtedly have other
masterpieces like those which have
on several occasions graced our
stamps Many people have seemed to
think that the Penn stamp was a
tremendous stride in the right direc-
ton.
This is subject on which the
discussion will go on merrily as long
as there are stamp collectors, and it
has an important effect in keeping
the subject before the public

George B. Sloane, member OF the

will be startling news to collectors
to learn that the Post Office Depart

excellent authority I am told that
the new sheets were found among

c. Robert Kay, philatelic editor of
the Associated Press, wires from New

Hindenburg was windfall to stamp
dealers who had stocks of airmail
covers carried by the huge dirigible
on its first fight to America in 1886.
Prior to the Hindenburg's burn
ing, the market was dull in these
flight covers, and few sales we're made
at any price. The day after the
crash, the retail price scared to 81
per cover under an avalanche of
orders.
Many dealers also capitalized on
the disaster to promote the sales Of
all German stamps, and week end

Mrs. f.. ID. KuntZ Injured

Mrs. E. d. Kuntz had the misfor-
tune to suffer distressing accident
one day last week, while raking up
and burning rubbish. Something
was raked into the fire that explod-
ed, and a fragment struck her in the
face, cutting the ball of one eye.
She was taken to DR.. DAVIS office
at Cumberland, and then to a spe-
cialist at GAINESVILLE. Later she was
brought back to her home, where
she is being cared for by her daugh-
ter, Alice, who is nurse. 1t is
thought that there is chance to
save the sight.
You all read it, or know about
it, how a good old woman near Hos
kinsville, was hurried into eternity
by pouring kerosene on a smOlder-
ing fire.. 1t is daily occurrence
somewhere, and like the careless
driving of the automobile, is one Of
the major tragedies of the times. 1t
seems to be lesson that cannot be
learned Pouring kerosene on a
fire direct from the container is Il
very dangerous procedure, under
any circumstances. However, the
use of lamp oil to revive a smolder-
ing fire, is more often attended with
the loss of life and property. In re
viving a fire where there may be hot
Goals, never have more than a spoon
full of oil. and then be sure to have
a match lit and burning before put
ting on the oil, as it forms gas
very rapidly. 1t is not supposed
that anyone nowadays would Up
with a container of oils and pour it
on fire, but they do with appalling
results. The gaunt chimney stand
ing alone is mute evidence that not
only life was lost, but the house
which constituted the home, and all
