The hobby is not new one but
it can be quite an expensive one as
some of the rarest issues bring
several thousands of dollars Most
valuable is the British Guiana one

The earlier specimens date back
more than century. The first
penny post of modern type was

with the government service which
was a monopoly of the royal family.
AS far as that goes, postal
service really can be traced back
considerably before that. Marco

ported in his journal that, while in
China, he learned that the postal
service there included ten thousand
stations and that more than 1BO,-

Louis Johnson, Assistant Secretary
of War, credited the Amateur Ath-

last night with much of the great
freedom enjoyed by the citizens of
this country as opposed to the many
restrictions imposed by European
countries"
johnson delivered his address by
telephone from Pittsburgh. where
the plane in which he was en- route
to Washington was forced to land
because of weather conditions. He
expressed regret at being unable
to appear in person at the A. A. us
golden jubilee banquet at the Will
lard and continued:
why is there such a contrast be-
tween the Old World and the New?
Why do we enjoy such great free
dom and why do European countries
impose so many restrictions? Were

II believe I have the answer. The
rest of the world has not learned
the code Of the Amateur Athletic
Union. Europe has yet to cultivate
the true spirit of the amateur. Asia
has yet to comprehend the ideals
of sportsmanship.

"Fair play on the athletic field

Usually at this time Of year." he
said. my desk is Uttered with letters

Okeson declared that serious in-
juries to some football players in the
last few years resulting from equip

sideration of this problem the main
topic" at the committees meeting.
He mentioned particularly cleats,
head guards and certain special
equipment designed to guard players
injured in previous games. This in
cluded special shoulder pads con-
tanning iron strips. iron knee braces
and face guards with metal strips
attached.
I'm recommending changes" he
said. I'VE must consider that manu-
facturers already have gone ahead
with 1899 production and that
schools have ordered much Of their
equipment. Too drastic changes all
at once would hurt them both 80 :"
Okeson criticized the athletic
policies of what he termed "the OUT

clared many schools today have
been driven to thinking Of giving up
