Federal Tax on Profits

The Treasury officials are
taking the position that any
thing like a wholesale nullifi-

fort to be made by the admin

1921, now does a $2,000,0O0 business
annually. AS they depart, clutching
their precious trophies, the buyers
are invited to see Government ex-
hibits of stamp dies and plates.
Furthermore. the Post Office De-
partment permits collectors to send to
the agency 10 addressed covers (en-
velopes) for each new stamp. The
office stamps them with perfect speci-
mems, turns them over to the City
Post Office for cancellation and
forwarding. These are called first
day stamps and are especially valued
by collectors. Service is gratis, only
charge being for the regular value
of the markers.
First American Government stamp
was sold July l, 1847. Since then
more than 500 varieties have appeared.
Seventeen Presidents, 27 prominent
persons from Benjamin Franklin to
Susan B. Anthony, have decorated the
surfaces. Sixty-nine special issues
and II regular series have appeared.
Stamps, commemorating important
historical figures, events of national
interest, have been issued for As years.
They have proved profitable, full of
publicity value and politically advan-
tageous. The number printed varies:
For the 1884 Wisconsin Tercentenary
64,525, 900 were put out; for the am
bilious N. r. A. propaganda, 1,978,-
7O7,300.
For the Admiral Byrd-Little Amer
lea set collectors wanted their stamps
Cancelled in the Antarctic. Byrd obliged
for a 50-cent charge This so in
furiated dealers that they almost boy
cotted the entire issue. But Post
Office officials believe the explorer
cleaned up S65,0OO on the deal. :.
THE Governments expense in
printing a small-sized stamp is O68
cent per thousand; larger stamps cost
about twice as much. There are $50
persons employed in the printing of
stamps at the Post Office Department.;
$50 others issue them.
None of the stamp executives is

they contend. I wouldn't give 2 cents

We see too much of EN-"
Errors in these quoted paragraphs
are too numerous to mention" For
example, there was no Little America
set and collectors never dreamed of
wanting Antarctic cancellations until
President Roosevelt suggested the idea.
Again, stamps are not printed in the
Post Office Department., the Philatelic
Agency is not located on the fourth
floor Of the Post Office Department
Building, and many postal officials are
stamp savers" Also, Secretary Ickes'
relatives were not found in possess
sion" of any Farley gift rarities.
Finally, collectors do not applaud"
new issues-unless they happen to be
stamps they particularly want. The
philatelic public approved the National
Parks stamps, the Mothers day stamp
and. strictly because of the beauty of
its design and for no other reason, the
Wisconsin stamp. Likewise, it desires
the U. S. S. Constitution stamp, the
Harvard tercentenary stamp and pos
Sibly the proposed American Indian
series. It's appeals for "the heroes of

Under new regulations, mint

Dr. Charles Lathrop Pack, famous
the world around for his lifelong de-
votion to philately, has sold his spe-
cialized Uruguay collection to Charles
j. Phillips, former stamp adviser to
the late King George V.
The London Observer says: Soon
there is to be sold in a Bond street
auction room an English stamp with
a most curious history. 1t is one of
the so-called royal reprints which
saw the light of day in 1864, in &C
cordance with royal request.
The Prince Of Wales, his brother,
the Duke of Connaught, and his
nephew, the ex-Kaiser, were all Bit
ten with the desire to collect stamps,
and very naturally wanted the world S
first stamp, our penny black to dec
crate the opening pages of their al
buns.
so a request was sent to the post
Office to supply the needed specimens.
But there were none. What reserves
there had been were exhausted. But
the request had to be met in some
way. That seemed not very difficult,
because all that was necessary was to
clean plate of the red stamps then
in use, and reprint them in black and
| that was actually done, and doubtless
the young collectors were perfectly
satisfied
But modern collectors know that a
hopeless mess was made of the whole
affair. The wrong paper was used, it
| had the wrong water mark, and the
sheets were put in upside down But
they were at least in the right color,
which after all was something.
Since then several sets have been
actually issued as compliments to
princes. When in September, 1920,
the late King of the Belgians visited
Brazil, that country issued special

Dealer bids one .leart. You bid one
spade, third hand two hearts, your
partner two spades, dealer three
hearts, you three spades. Third hand
passes. your partner bids four spades
and the dealer doubles. You g. down
one trick, but three spades would have
been laydoWn. Now the player who
makes that type of bid is likely to
complain to his partner and say,
why didn't you leave it at three
spades. which we could have made?"
Whereupon partner should reply, "The
only reason we can produce three
spades is the fact that I had a very
sound raise for your spad- overcall-
SO sound that when you rebid t. three,
I thought we would be able to make
game. But you had no rebid tc three.
All you had was a normal minimum

whatsoever. Didn't it occur to you
that if you passed the three heart bid
and it came around to me and I had
sound raise, I could have bid three
spades myself. whereupon you would
have passed and made your contract?"
IN slightly different situation, how
ever, a second bid with the above
hand might be all right. For instance,
the bidding might proceed: One heart,
one spade (by you, two hearts (by
third hand). two spades (by your
partner), pass (by dealer), pass (by

dealer). Now, If you desire, you may
bid three spades, since you have pre-
viously shown you do not want to play
game by dropping your partners bid
of two spades. Now your three-spade
bid is merely an effort to stop your
opponents from playing three hearts.
Your partner should never take you
to game, and you are justified in max
ing this bid.
The next example of the one bid
too many occurs in competitive situ-
ations when you are trying to make
up your mind whether to bid more
or to double the ;pponents. In such
situations 95 per cent of players do
one or the other, instead of realizing
that there is always a middle ground
namely, that they may pass and leave
the decision to their partner. For in
stance, consider the following situ-
alton.
With neither side vulnerable, your
partner opens the bidding with one
spade. Second hand bids two hearts,
you bid two spades, fourth hand three
hearts, your partner four spades, sec
ond hand five hearts. Suppose your
hand is:

HERE there is no problem-you
should double. With only three
spades, it is likely that your side
cannot make f1ve-odd in that suit.
At the same time, with four hearts
to the king, you have very good
chance of inflicting a substantial
penalty.
Or, suppose you hold:

Bid five spades. You should have
good chance Of making this con-
tract, and you certainly cannot hurt

But suppose your holding is some

Here is where you should pass and
leave to your partner the decision as
to whether to bid five spades or to
double Your partner has bid very
strongly; obviously he is not going
to pass the five hearts also. If he
does bid five spades, he should make it;
if he doubles the five hearts, he should
set it severely. But if you try to make
the decision for him, you may guess
wrong
