works are SO eStimable, especially
those included in the National COL
lection, should they not go into the
National Gallery OF Art?" The rea-
son is that they are part of cOllec-

entirety; to remove some and not all
would be an injustice to the donors.
They may be lent for special occa-

these paintings are in WASHINGTON.

Centennial Issue
For Orchestra

There has been some speculation
in connection with the 1912 centen-
nial of the New York Philharmonic
Symphony Society as to whether the
Post Office Departments division
of stamps will include a special is
sue to mark the Tooth anniversary
of Americas oldest orchestra. Al
bert Goldman, New York postmas-
ter, has recommended such an issus
to Postmaster General Frank c.
Walker, who is favorably inclined
toward it, judging by a letter ad-
dressed to DR.. Walter Damrosch.
one of the former conductors Of
the organization.
In recommending the issue, Post
master Goldman called his chiefs
attention to the fact that the United
States, now recognized as the world
center OF musical activity, has once
before honored the musical profess
sion in an issue of stamps. This
was as part of the Famous Ameri-
can Series, which included heads Of
Nevin, Mcdowell, Foster, Sousa and
Herbert.

a deadlock with the major league
standard.
They also increased their VIC

by Spud Chandler an q Marlus
Russo who won by 4 10 ! and ]
to 0, each allowing just three
hits.
