stamps are admittedly the most ar

printed of any in the world. But
after going to all the expense Of
making these perfect stamps the
Government spoils them for millions
of people by careless spacing in the
perforated sheets.
''It is estimated there are some
5000, 900 philatelists in this country
who spend many millions Of dollars
q year on their stamp collections. AS
the stamps they buy are not used
in the mails these millions they
spend are practically all profit for
the Government. But the philatel-
lists want only stamps that are per-

edges and these they find very Diff

sheets containing from so to 100
stamps per sheet only rarely can
one sheet be obtained, even in the
big city post offices, In which the
stamps are properly centered.

other country in the world are uni

experience at duplicate bridge.
Nearly all Of the 10 girls societies of
the university are represented in the
1nter-sorority bridge tournament

the boards. Therefore, they sought
