Nea0 Postage Stamps

1t has been announced that 81
new designs of United States post
age stamps will shortly be issued,
and that these, with those already
in circulation, win include por-
traits of all Presidents not living.
Several changes will be made in
the denomination of stamps which
bear the portraits of Presidents
represented in present issues.
The first issue of United States
postage stamps consisted of only
two denominations, the five-cent
used on half-ounce letters going
500 miles or less, and the ten-cent
for letters going distance ex-
ceeding 800 miles.
The five-cent stamp bore the
portrait of Benjamin Franklin, our
first postmaster; the ten-cent
stamp bore the portrait of Wash
ington and were first issued in
1887, although a few postmasters
had issued some stamps at their
own expense for about two years
previously. The very first ad-
hesive postage stamps to be is
sued by any government were IL
troduced in England in 1910. the
example being quickly followed
by other nations.

Big Hosiery Bills

Lady dancers and others who
disport themselves for motion
picture fans cost the studios
around a quarter of a million dol
lars a year for stockings alone,
according to an article in the Chi
cago Daily News, which says the
average life of a pair of hose for
a dancer is three wearings.
The average cost of a pair Of
stockings for a member of the
chorus is about $3.50, but for the
stars the cost runs as high as $50
a pair.
One of the most expensive
stars to keep in hose is Eleanor
Powell, who sometimes ruins as
many as six pairs costing SIS a
pair in single day. Diminutive
Lily Pons used up 120 pairs cost
ing $50 a pair in one picture which
is probably a record.
Sonia Henie in her strenuous
figure skating is another whose
hosiery bill is high, running about
$500 for each picture in which she
appears. Her legs. by the way.

All this sounds like rank ex-

male. who gets along rather well

"The CrOcus"
BY Rev. Or. w. Byron stehI

The Crocus raised her pretty head,
Stretched and rose up from her
bed,
Yawned, and then began to sing
This ditty in response to Spring:
Last night I slept so well,
All covered in the dell,
By a blanket, men call snow,
(But whether that's it or mob
This morning dearest sun so
bright,
Put your arms around me tight,
I love you light love you light!'

during 1887.
The title doesn't mean that
death begins at 40 years of age,
but at 40 miles an hour. 1t is
pointed out, however, that 4O
miles an hour is much too fast in
many cases. To quote a para
graph.
There are times, as in heavy
traffic or in heavy fog, when 80
miles an hour is suicidal; other
times when so miles an hour
seems reasonable. Every driver
should know that if he does have
an accident it is more likely to
mean death if he is going fast.
In 1887 there were approximate
w 10000 deaths and 1,221,090 in
juries in traffic accidents in the
United States, the highest on rec
ord. Most of these accidents
might have been prevented by the
exercise of reasonable care on the
part of the drivers concerned.

Life at Low Temperatures
(New York Times)

Dr. Alexander Goetz of the California Institute at minus 300 degrees F, thawed them out, whereupon they behaved as if nothing had happened to them. This is not astonishing Long before these eX- periments made the tougher bacteria were subjected to the temperature of liquid air without coming to grief pr. J. O. Wilhelm and H Wastenays of the University of Toronto kept germs in liquid he
 Hum at minus 450 degrees F. and restored them to activity by heat As result of Dr. Goetzs work the old doctrine of pansperrny is momentarily revived the doctrine that germs might have been waited hther from other planet to fertilize the earth
 It the late Svante Arrhenius who gave us this doctrine of panspermy He found by experiment. that cold slows down all chemical processes in geomerical ratio Thus when the temperature drops ten degrees C. living processes are retarded by half At 100 de- grees C. the retardation 1O24 times marked ct normal temperatures Long before we approach abso- lute zero life is suspended though not terminated.
 How did the primeval bit of life reach the earth? Arrhenius relied on the pressure of radiation He realized that germ might have to be bufeted about thousands of years before it found haven here The bacterologist objected that it would not last minute because of the killing effect of ultraviolet rays Undaunted Arrhenius retorted that ultraviolet rays could not kill if there was no oxygen.
 It is not likely that the California experiments will rehabihtate panspermy Ingenious it is, Arr heniuss hypothesis is pure speculation. What if life did from another world? To tell the biologist that germ transported beam of light to this planet aids him not at all How did the germ escape? What boots it to refer to another world i cur quest? We are left asking the old question. How did life originate? The most that experiments
 like those conducted in California reveal is the extra ordinary tenacity with which the lower organisms cling to life The higher we go the more vulnerable is the organism to changes in the environment

AIR MAIL BRINGS A NEW ERA
 TO THE NORTH

Another step in Alaska progress is recorded as the Pacific Alaska Airways plane takes off from PAA field in the Glacier Highway with the first air mall for Whitehorse and Fairbanks It is the elimination of development project started just two years ago when PA naugurated it's first regular passenger service over the route At that time effort was being made to get air mail for the Territory and tcuary for this route to supplement the passenger traffic and give Alaskans a service they have long needed Now we celebrate achievement after two years
 To our neghbors in the Golden Heart of the North and throughout the vast Interior send greetings, for with the institution of the air mail service we become neghbors in fact.

The Upkeep of Liberty
(New York World Telegraph

MT Roosevelt's speech--the Pan-American Day broadcast-was brief but it packed an important message for both hemispheres.
 The twenty-one American republics, he said, have learned what community of interest really means They at peace with one another, and they intend to remain at peace by being good neigh bors That being the case the other half of the world would be wise to leave us alone. We will not permit aggressor nations to over here and endanger peace On that all of the Americas agreed.
 Thus without mentioning it, MT. Roosevelt re- stated the Monroe Doctrine not a uni]ateral af- fair for Uncle Sam alone but the doctrine of the whole American family of nations.
 Democratic liberty once won, as the President said, is not forever This half of the world has it now because fathers were willing to sacrifice their lives and all they possessed for great ideal To keep it too must recognize some part of that duty to sacrifice.
 We of the American hemisphere must preserve the high standards of international law and morality, which not the restraints of weddings but the signs of serene strength and the basis of the common effort through which we safeguard in this new world the great rights of our liberties and build civilization for the advancement of humanity throughout the world

 This is an suspicious rule for the signing of contracts and real estate transactions.
 Merchants and manufacturers should profit through increased de- mands for products of steel, wool and leather. Foreign purchasers will enter the American market.
 Thrift that mobilizes resources and prer / es men and women for unselfish public service is advised by astrologers. Economic changes will cause many shifts in American life.
 Girls may expect this to be a sum- ner memorable for romance. Men will be determined suitors. There will be many marriages despite fin ancial limitations.

SALMON PACKERS OFFER GOOD
 FOOD AT THRIFTY PRICES

SEATTLE By supplying good food at a thrifty price, salmon pack CTS offer Mrs. American Home maker" a service far beyond dol- lar and cents value, Miss Isabel N. Young said recently at the Sixth Annual Salmon Cutting Demonstra- ton.
 Miss Young is director of the home economics division of the Am erican Can Company and has a na- tion-wide reputatinon in her field.
 Mrs. American Homemaker is al very busy person." said Miss Young. And also a pretty smart person. She has to be.
 Do you realize that more than 69 percent of all American families (with five people to each family) ], are living on less than $500 a year? It is g full time job to clothe, shell ter and keep a healthy, well-fed family on such an income. There is no margin here for luxuries.
 Most of the rest of the families live on $500 to 5000 a year.
 About 95 percent of these women do all of their own work. Among other things each one has to plan, buy. prepare. serve and wash dishes for more than 5000 meals a year.
 Now, what have you got to offer this busy woman? A can of salmon a delicious tasting main-dish food, of greater nutritive value than al- most any other one protein food we know about, at price she can af- ford to pay for it. This is a service far beyond a dollar and cents bus iness."
 Miss Young told the industry il is doing splendid job in telling the American public, through magazines and newspapers, what canned salm- on Is and how to use it.
 The effective work of the home economics department of the Amer ican Can Company was related when Miss Young told of the distri- button of booklets, and the com pany's motion pictures. "Alaska's Silver Millions.
 Tn order to be of more direct service to Mrs. Homemaker and to the packers, Miss Young said, "our Company has just opened a testing kitchen which is in the charge of a trained dietitian. Here we develop new and test old recipes for the packers to use on can labels and in advertising and which we also will use in our own promotion work.
