IN STAMPS
Carol Of Rumonio Heads
Stamp Portrait Gallery

IF there's any country in the
world that is certain of what its
ruler looks like, II is Rumania.
King Carol II, pictured on the
Rum5 man issue above, has his
portrait on no less than 80 stamps
Of his realm and 1910 releases may
increase the total.
Excluding colonial possessions,
Carol tops the list of rulers on
stamps, with Victor Emmanuel III
Of Italy second, and Queen Will
helmina of the Netherlands and
Boris of Bulgaria contending for
third. From a standpoint of du-
ration Of appearance in philately's
gallery, Queen Wilhelmina is first,
having ruled since 1890.
Carol first appeared on Ru-
manian stamps in 1880, following
his dramatic return from exile
and accession to the throne. The
boy King Michael was relegated
to the status of crown prince and
stamps bearing his picture were
overprinted to celebrate Carols
return.
Carol and Michael were pictured
together on Rumania's Boy Scout
Jamboree issue Of 1881.

EVER NORMAL GRANARY
Food and Fiber in Large Reserve
Supply Has Been Provided

Food and fiber, in the form of a
large reserve supply, has been pro-
vided by the Ever-Normal Granary
of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration farm program.
Enough reserve supply is available
to meet consumers requirements
at reasonable prices. Corn stored
in the Ever-Normal Granary, for
instance, is a protection for live
stock farmers in sections where
corn production may be deficient.
Such protection was never avail
able before the granary plan start
ed. The reserve supply makes it
unnecessary for farmers whose
feed crops have been affected by
drought or other causes to choose
between liquidating their livestock
at low prices or paying extremely
high prices for feed. Sufficient
corn for all purposes is available
at prices around 65c per bushel.
In contrast to this price, many

than S125 per bushel for corn fol-
lowing the 1886 drought.
On the other hand, r. o. Stelzer,
executive officer for the AAA in
Delaware, explains that it is not
the purpose of the Ever-Normal
Granary program to provide cheap
feed for livestock. Cheap feed is
usually followed by increased pro-
duction and low prices in the live
stock industry. Loans made un-
der the Ever-Normal Granary pro-
gram put a floor under feed prices
and thus discourage overfeeding
and overexpansion of livestock in
years when feed supplies are large.

AUTO DRIVERS
AID DEFENSE
MOtOrist Play Part in Nation
al Defense Program by Safe
Driving, Safe Cars
URGE AUTO INSPECTION

Delaware motorists have part
to play in the national defense pro-
gram, the Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil points out, in commenting on a
relationship between preparedness
and the annual motor vehicle in
spection which closes on August
81. Huge motor cavalcades of Ma
tional Guardsmen and Army troops
moving over highways in this area
in recent weeks give the clue to
this relationship. They were, it is
true, only on their way to war
games. But they were depending
upon uninterrupted movement as
part of their practice to meet en-
ergency. They required coopera-
tion of every individual motorist
for this movement.
Fifth columnists" in other
lands have had as part of their
work the interruption of troop
movements. the tieing up of high
ways. Their success is well
known story.
Motorists, by failing to keep
their automobiles in a safe driving
condition, could bring equal haz-
ards here. Yet the Council de-
clares one car in every five that
has been inspected in the Delaware
safety lanes has been found to
have defects that might bring a
similar result.
Equally grave is the fact that
one-third of all the motor vehicles
in the state had not even been to
the inspection lanes as of August
18th.
If the proportion of cars reject
ed by the motor vehicle inspectors
were to hold true for the 76,525
cars which Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner William D. Denney esti-
mates there are in the state, it
would mean a total of 16,S35 would
be refused safety stickers, each a
potential hazard.
Speedy correction of this condi-
tion, the Council declares, is thus
more than an individual matter. 1t
affects all of us.
