. STAMP NEWS

0F the 35 Famous Americans " honored in the new U. s. see ries, only one, Jane Addams, has been previously pictured on a stamp. Miss Addams' portrait ap- peared on a Turkish stamp, issued In 1885, one of series of l5 com memorating the 18th congress of the Women's International Alli- ance.
 Miss Addams appears again on the U. S. l0-cent stamp, above, released at Chicago, H., April 20. The stamp is the fifth of the sci- entists group. Miss Addams is the third woman to be pictured on stamps of the series.
 Described as "Amcrica's most useful citizen," Miss Addams de- voted her life to the service of humanity, founded and developed Chicago's great Hull House, mod el for all settlement houses. Hull House has grown from a shabby mansion to a great enterprise, in- cluding l2 buildings. From 1t has come the impetus for the first juvenile court, playgrounds, health clinics, labor legislation and so- biological education.
 Miss Addams campaigned for peace and disarmament so vigor- ously that she was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1881, with Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler.
