H. B.: have in mind to go into
the printing business. Should I?
Ans: 1t takes money and expe-
rience to run a profitable printing
business and since you do not hap
pen to have either your best
bet would be to get a job working
for some printing establishment as
a salesman. After a few months
experience you would be i'm posi-
ton to decide whether to keep on
or call it quits. Do not invest any
money in equipment until you I'M
derstand fully the problems that
face a job printer today.
o. E. w.: l am not satisfied. I
divorced the girl I loved and mar
ried another girl. This girl does
not please me. She says that she
loves me but don't think so. What
should 1 do to be happy?
Ans: Under the circumstances
l am sure you realize now that you
made a very grave mistake in di-
vorcing your first wife. You love
her and she still loves you. 1t isn't
too late to consider going back to
one another. You will never be
happy under present conditions.
M. G.: This child that was sick,
I thought that she was hurt. Was
she? Tell me what will be the best
thing to cure her. Someone must
have hurt her. If she was, tell me
is she we'll.
Ans: The child wasn't hurt in
any way. Most kids have the same
trouble in the spring of the year
brought on by fresh vegetables and
fruits. Watch her diet during these
warm summer months.
DISGUSTED ME-: Will you
kindly help a young girl in dis
tress who is very much disguised
with herself? Will this coming
summer be as bum as l feel it will
be? Won't I have no fun? When
will 1 meet my truly heart throb?
Honestly, Pm almost tired of wait
ing. Will it be long? Should you
need my age and all, 1 am Is
years of age. Born Dec. 18th.
Ans: After all, little girl, you

time. In the meantime continue to
behave yourself like a lady as the
summer isn't going to be half as
bad as you seem to feel Lots of
fun will come your way.
H. L.: Never before has my stu
alton been past my comprehension.
Suddenly I have walked into a
cubicle I cannot understand. I am
here in this town working hard ev-
cry day, saving my money. I am
very much interested in young
lady here and have dated her a few
times. However, we don't seem to
get along so we'll in spite of the
fact that we both seem to be very
interested. Will you give this your
very best consideration?
Ans: 1t takes more than inter-
est to win a gal, brother. Pretty
girls like love and lots of it {.
and that's where you have fizzled
out. The young lady in question
admires you for your high ideals
and ambitious look on life . but
she Graves love more than that. My
advice is to LET HER HAVE
1T.
L. H.: Dear Friend: am writ
ing you for an answer to some
things I would like to know. I am
going with a man and he is going
with another woman and he tells
me he loves me and tells her the
same thing. Now, I want to know
which one of us does he want for
a wife?
Ans: Neither one of you. he
amt the marrying kind. He's
pretty much satisfied to go on low
ing you both and not marrying
either Of you. This sort of going on
is getting you nowhere the
place for you is back at your hus-
bands side. Go back to him and
forget all about your twO-timing
friend.
E. M. G.: was told that I would
get a sum of money. Please tell me
if you think I will get this and
where will it come from?
Ans: l believe you will receive
a sum of money thru your grand
mothers property and that you
will receive it sometime during the
last six months of 1910.

captured in the imperial palace at
Pekin. Strangely enough, most Of
the outstanding pugs were owned
in the north of England and Scot
land. Miss May Woodbridge, Mrs.
Hampden-Shaw and Mrs. Prowett
Ferdinands were among the more
successful early breeders. However,
the two outstanding strains Of pugs
are the Willoughby strain and the
Morrison strain. the former, bred
by Lady Willoughby, sort of silver
fawn, and the latter, bred by Mr..
Morrison, a more golden tone.
Blacks were first introduced in
1865 by Lady Brovy but could not
compete in quality with the other
colors. However, a number of good
blacks have been bred since 1918.
Since the renaissance Of the pug

Mr.. Farley, Of course, was misled.
None of his predecessors had given
unfinished stamps to any one. Some
cardboard proofs, it was true, were
distributed in President Theodore
Roosevelt's time, but their appear
ance in philatelic circles had stirred
up such a storm as to bring down
upon the head of the offending de-
partment official an unprecedented
rebuke from Terrible Teddy.
But in 1888 Mr.. Farley never had
heard of the turmoil of 1902-19O5.
Innocent of any intention to offend,
he blundered into trouble which,
naturally, he would have wanted
to avoid. "One sheet of Mothers
Day stamps" he confesses, was
presented to a personal friend in
New York City, who had been a
collector for many years and who
naturally appreciated being remem-
bered when the issue was placed on
sale for the first time. He wrote
me about another gentleman,
railroad official living in Virginia,
who saw the specimen sheet,
thought it was interesting and
wanted to acquire one if possible.

the S. in payment for the stamps.
Being unacquainted with the man,
I should have been careful to ex-
plain that it was intended solely
for inclusion in a private collection
and must not be used for CONNER
cial purposes under any circum-
stances"
A prohibition of this sort, Mr..
Farley might have guessed, could
not be made to stick" even among
close and intimate friends. It GER
tainly could not have been required

since his boyhood days at Hyde
Park, N. Y-F. D. Roosevelt has
been a serious minded philatelist
and. he has managed to acquire an
enviable collection for an amateur
at the trade He has subscribed to
journals of philately and has formed
many pleasant friendships by ex-
changing correspondence with 9TH
ers who were devoted to the same
hobby. Others in the new admins
tration who genuinely liked stamp
collecting were the Presidents sec
retary, Louis McHenry Howe. and
Secretary Of the Interior Harold
Ickes. With such keen interest
shown in high places. it was only
natural that philately should be
given far more than the cursory at
tention usually accorded such de-
tails Of government, and that we
should see an opportunity to turn
this public interest to the advantage
Of the department, which, after all.
is a form of business and should be
run with that thought in mind.
Special stamp issues had been
put out by other administrations
down through the years to COM
memorate noteworthy occasions.
However, no administration on rec
ord ever put out as many issues as
the present Roosevelt administra-
ton has during the past few years,
the total running between rs and
100. The first one was a stamp to
commemorate the proclamation of
peace in the Revolutionary War, the
design picturing the crude head
quarters which Gen. Washington
used while his army was wintering
at Newhurgh, N. Y. The site Of the
Newburgh headquarters was across
the Hudson River and not very far
from the site of the present Roose-
velt homestead at Hyde Park, so
that the first commemorative stamp
has a personal touch for the Chief
Executive.
Noticing an awakened public
interest toward stamp COL
lecting, we extended very early

vogue in the Dutch court. One of
them is credited with saving the
life of William the Silent, who kept
q pair with him at all times. While
engaged in wars with Spain, he was
awakened one night by the barking
and clawing of one of his pets, to
find that two would-be murderers
had entered his tent.
When Williams son, William of
Orange. went to England to be-
come King, he took some pugs with
him, and they Immediately became
the dog of the day. However,
whereas in Holland they had been
subjected to ear-cropping and made
to look as much like little monkeys
as possible, in England they were
left in their natural state. Early
Dutch paintings and bits Of Delft
pottery invariably show the pug
with cropped ears, whereas pic
lures of pugs by English artists of
the same period show the dogs with
full ears.

WliCll Jllc 1chlilSeSe WAS introduced
to the dog-loving world early in the
.1860s, the fate of the pug seemed
sealed. However, there has been a
renewed interest in this breed in
the past few years, and the pug
has enjoyed renewed vogue in
many quarters, especially among
those who recollect his many vir-
tues from early association with
him.
Why the pug should be in the
toy group is more or less mystery
In appearance, he is anything but
toyish. In size and weight, he is
larger and heavier than many an
other breed classed among the ter
riers or the working dogs, notably
the cairn terrier, the Norwich ter
rier and the smaller specimens of
Shetland sheepdog and Boston ter
rier. In appearance, he suggests
a solid, cart-horse type of dog.
full-bodied and compact. His gait
Is more suggestive of the worker
than of the dainty toy. When given
his way, he is much more likely to
spend his time chasing rabbits and
acting as watchdog than in Sleep
ing on a cushion and eating choco-
lates.
There is little doubt that the pug
gets his physical conformation and
mental makeup from his ancient
ancestor, the mastiff, which prob
ably originated in Asia and is the
remote ancestor of such other breeds
as the bulldog, the boxer, the ST..
Bernard and the kuvasz. The pug
came to Holland via the Dutch

points. He was shown for the third
time at Morris and Essex. where he
again went to best of breed and
second in the top group, as well as
best American bred. This completed
his championship in three straight
shows, most unusual feat in any
breed and particularly noteworthy
in a breed where three-point or
better shows are hard to find.
After Morris and Essex, Diamond
Jim was sold to Mrs. James NJ
Austin, who has long been noted
as a breeder of Pekingese.
Diamond Jim exemplifles the null
tum in parvo ideal of the pug
standard. He Is square, COLBY
dog, with good bone, short body,
wide chest and deep brisket. His
head is massive and round, eyes
dark and prominent and wrinkles
large and deep. In color he is a
true fawn, with very dark mask and
well-defined trace and dark, but
ton ears. His coat is soft, short
and silky.

Bv James Waldo Faucet.

James A. Farley Of New York will
cease to be Postmaster General Of
the United States on August 81 and
In connection with his retirement
from Government service 1t has
been disclosed that he was not re-
sponsible for the so-called imper-
forate gift sheet" scandal Of 1933-
1885.
The simple facts Of the matter,
long concealed by Mr.. Farley's re-
ticence, are that when he visited
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing for the first time, SO days after
taking the oath Of ONCE, he was
instructed" by President Roosevelt
to buy o sheet Of the Scent New
burgh commemoratives for his tthe
Chief Executive's> collection. Un-
aware that any breach Of philatelic
ethics was involved, the Postmaster
General Endorsed the premier sheet
to pass through the press, For Presi-
dent r. D. Roosevelt for his collec-
ton, 4-11-33." He then marked
three sheets for his three children,
Prom Dad" Within an hour the
error had become a subject Of dis
cussion among collectors in Wash
ington. News of the incident also
was sent to other cities Immediately
Some philatelic writers denied 1t, a
few argued that the mistake was in
consequential, still others expressed
regret but were fatalistic about any
correction Of the harm which they
realized had been done.
Mr.. Farley, meanwhile, was bliss
fully ignorant Of having violated any
unwritten law. Even as late as 1893
he still was bewildered about the
disturbance which unintentionally
he had created. In his book, ''Be-
hind the Ballots" he wrote: "For
q great many years-in fact, ever
