planned to repeat from recordings

however, from making transcriptions
OF the speech. which were sold to the
public in department stores through
out the country by the thousands.

President Roosevelt will re- ceive two of the Farley covers, while others will be sent to the Museum of Natural History in Washington, D. C., for the collection there.
 Roosevelt Gets Many
 But Farley's covers are not the only ones that President Roosevelt will receive. Many collectors of great and low degree chose this means of paying their respects to the nations leader-who is also the nations most prominent collector. Among those sending the President covers is Henry MOrgenthau. secretary of the Treasury Department
 The collecting "bug" even bit Postmaster Vile, who has become an ardent stamp fan since the Alas ka stamp fad swept the country. As a result, he has kept all the cancelled stamps, many of them valuable, which the collectors have affixed to their letters. Six mail bags of can celled stamps-that is what Vile is using for a start in his collection. Even the philatelic agent of Sweden sent Vile a special set of Swedish stamps in honor of the first day of the Alaska commemorative.
