The special three-cent stamp commemorating the Golden Gate International Exposition which has just opened in San Francisco on February 18, is creating a record demand at the local post office, &C., cording to Postmaster Charles A. Babin and Clerk Carl Deeley.

 The stamp was issued in San Francisco on Saturday and went on sale here last Monday. Thursday, according to Postmaster Babin, was the most extraordinary single day of business on record at the phila- telic window.
 The new stamp is printed in purple by the rotary process and issued in sheets of 50. The central design is a reproduction of "The Tower of the Sum-, one of the out standing architectural features of the exposition on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay.
 At the base of the central design is a large numeral 8" in white modernized gothic. Superimposed on the numeral is the word Gents" in dark roman. with the dates "19" and "39'' in white within small squares at the left and right, res- pectively.
 At the top and sides of the stamp in dark gothic is the wording uni ted States Postage" at the left, Golden Gate" at the top, and "In- ternational Exposition" at the right. s W hulatte8w$r

 Paris, Feb. 27-Eetlaire Adolf Hitler to you) may be verbally lam- pasted by most of those fifty mil lion Frenchmen who cant be wrong, but Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain is the man most discussed these days on the broad boulevards of Paris.
 And it's not entirely his pro- French policies, nor his dropping moustache, nor his buck teeth. It's his parapluie-or umbrella, in plain English.
 Somehow that umbrella has hit the Frenchmen's disabilities.
 In the old days, Premier Lloyd George, with his mop of hair, did not astonish them. Former Presi- dent Alexander Millerand could out-do him when it came to hirsute adornment. When the present Lord Baldwin was Premier, his pipe did not excite the French. Their own former Premier Edouard Herriot puffed at bigger one.
 But France, so eager for all new ideas, never had Premier who carried an umbrella glued to his good arm no matter how brightly the sun shone.
 And there was Chamberlain that's the nearest they could twist
