To speculate on any possibilities
in this war is to stick your neck

A. Hitler already has announced
his intention to give the Rock to

. STORIES
IN STAMPS
|6rltoin's Penny Black
Storted Stamp Parade

|I0NE HUNDRED years ago, on
~ May !, 1910, Great Britain's
famous Penny Black. the first ad.,
hesive postage stamp, reproduced
above, was placed on sale at
London. Although not valid for
postage until May 8, the stamps
sold well, and receipts OF $i2,5o0
were recorded on the second day.
About half the letters mailed on
MAY 6 bore stamps.
The Idea OF the adhesive post
age stamp was conceived by Sir
Rowland Hill, ardent advocate OF
British postal reform and father
Of penny postage. The design Of
khe Penny Black was from q COM
lmemoratlve medal picturing 10.
Eyear-old Queen Victoria.
The Penny Black remained on
sale for nine months, when the
color was changed TO red. to make
cancellation easier.
Although II was the first stamp,
the Penny Black Is not O rare,
stamp today. Single used values
are common, but unused stamps
and used blocks are eagerly
sought by collectors.

lar demand for more dwellings of
the same kind. So building goes
on. even in an England at war.
The little home with lots of
land about it for garden and play
ground is doing the same thing in
this country. To see these homes
IL to love them. Modern home
design makes them as beautiful to
the eye as the large estate home.
The plan offered by Western
Homes Foundation this week is an
example. 1t Is the Marlboro from
the new 'Economy-Built Homes
series of the National Plan Serv-
ice. With SO many designs Of this
kind now available, and with the
FILA Title I, Glass 3 plan of home
financing made even more effec-
tive by new regulations, the garden
home is sure to become increasing
ly popular in 1910.
1T will be a great year in all
fields of building. In the Archi-
tectural Forum for January the
predictions Of authorities on build
ing from 81 cities are summarized.
They estimate a 61a billion-dollar
volume for the construction indus
try in 1910. A ~ per cent in
crease for industrial construction
over 1889, a 10 per cent increase
in public utility construction, 9
per cent rise in farm building, and
an IL per cent expansion in nom
farm home building, are the main
items of the estimate.
with building costs still on the
level they have held since the end
of their decline in 1887, and with
SO much construction activity
