to remove all growth from its ex-
terror. Treatment from this point
on depends on the type Of shell.
1t may be ground and polished or
merely cleaned thoroughly. The re-
suits Of all this must be seen to be
appreciated.
The Goodman collection is housed
in two cabinets. One is a china
closet, with choice and showy speci-
mans on display. The other is a
chest of drawers which Mr.. Good
man built for the purpose. In these
drawers the shells are arranged in
classified rows. all neatly labeled as
to name and source. There are
probably some 5000 shells in this
collection.
To give an idea of its variety,
Mr.. Goodman showed the largest.
the most common and the rarest
they have. In that order come a
giant band shell (Fasciolaria gigan-
tea. Is inches long. from Siesta
Key, Sanible Island; coquina
Donax variabilis). an inch to an
inch and a half in length, and a
very rare golden Panama (Oliva
htterata. This last species is not
rare in its normal color. or even
as true albino, but the golden
form is seldom found.
Ideal Family Hobby.
The shells in this collection pre-
sent every hue of the rainbow. and
every conceivable form. There are
smooth ones and spiney ones, long
ones and short ones, round and OBJ
long. single and double. spiral and
almost fat, a seemingly endless va
rietv.
Most of these shells are from ma
rine animals. They have few from
tree snails, however. There are
some from the Pacific Coast, Pana-
ma. Cuba and Japan.
Altogether, the Goodmans can
recommend shell collecting as an
ideal family hobby.

Collectors Ask Mexico
To Cut Stamp Issues

Protests from stamp collectors in
various countries that Mexico issues
too many stamps and too many
varieties have led Mexico City,
collectors to ask the post office de-
partment to slow down its printing

This year five special issues have
been brought out. Subjects chosen
were foundation of st. Nicholas in
Morelia. centenary Of the first post
age stamp, centenary of the dis
covery Of Campeche, and another
historic date.

white ground. Black and blue Danes
are also permissible.
Bred for Hunting.
Although III this country and Eng
land the breed Is known as the
Great Dane, an adoption Of the
French name grand Danois," this
breed has many other names. In
Germany. where the dog has reached
its highest perfection and has been
adopted as the national dog Of the
country, it is known as the Deutche
Dogge, and is so known in many
other countries. In Italy 1t Is known
as an alamo, suggestive Of the alaunt,
which in turn was the ancient desig-
nation of the mastiff. forefather Of
the Great Dane and many other
giant breeds. The mastiff is sup
posed to have come originally from
Asia and the generic name, mastiff,
designates a giant dog with heavy
head, used primarily for guarding
and hunting purposes. It took diff
ferent guises in each country where
it was bred to serve different uses.
Apparently the Great Dane was
originally bred to its present form
to hunt the wild boar, and until
quite recently was often called a
boar hound in many countries. An
cient engravings and paintings show
dogs very similar in type to the
present specimens engaged in this
sport. An English engraving made
in 1886 shows a scene of this sort
and places the locale in Denmark,
so there may be some justification
for calling this breed Great Dane,

which does not obtain in many other
breeds. the really outstanding Dane
is rare dog. His very size pre-
sents number of difhculties in
breeding and rearing which makes
him a fascinating variety for the
conscientious breeder, but cuts down
the possibility for many great speci-
mems.
One Of the leading winners of the
day is Ch. Jensen of Brae Tarn, a
beautiful brindle dog owned by r.
P. Stevens of Connecticut. Jensen
has been best of breed almost every
time shown and has been placed in
the group consistently, the latest
placements being a third and a
fourth at Darien and Great Bar
rington in the past few weeks.
Distrusts Strangers.
The standard of the Great Dane
In this country, as in England,
Italy. India and other places where
strong organizations for the pro-
motion of this breed flourish. is
based entirely on the very explicit
standard drawn up by the Germans
late in the 18th century. Indeed,
the standards adopted by some
countries is merely translation of
the German. This standard, as
adopted and adapted by the Great
Dane Club of America and ap-
proved by the American Kennel
Club in 1885. calls for dog of dis
tinguished appearance, great dig
