Prosperity has been measured
by strange barometers before-by
the number of people who ask for
ice cream atop their deep dish ap-
pie pie, the number of tired busi-
nessmen who hire young boys to
cut the lawn instead of doing it
themselves. and the percentage of
cars traded in because the ash
trays are full.
So, with precedent resting
smugly in our corner, we can re-
port that prosperity must be vir-
tually smothering Washington.
Why? Because the beautiful wom-
en- Of Washington just don't
seem to need any more clothes,
cars or vacation trips. that's why.
This appalling state of bounty
hereabouts, which seems to be
something completely and unac-
countably overlooked by those
viewers Withdrawn who consti-
tute the minority in Congress, has
been reported by the people who
are recruiting for the Miss Wash
ington contest.
To date, there are but Is girls
registered for the annual beauty
and-talent contest.
The people who are running the

affair, however seem to have
missed the whole economic i'm
port of the trend. They claim the
slow trickle Of regiStrants can be
blamed on the fact the girls are
afraid they haven't the talent to
compete. They point out they
have expert showmen who will
help train any competitor, and
give her a professional approach
to the whole thing. They point to
Jody Miller. a part-time stenog-
rapher in 1945, who won the Miss
Washington contest that year. got
a singing engagement at the King
Cole Room. and went on to be-
come one of the feature attrac-
tions in the supper clubs of a
national hotel chain.
But it just can't be that WASH
ington girls are afraid to take
their chances in an entertainment
world crying for good singers. ac-
complished actresses and versatile
musicians. 1t just must be that
every one has the wherewithal to
pay for an Atlantic City vacation,
rather than going to the trouble
Of competing for it.
That must be the answer. The
Afterdark barometer reflects it,
and the indicator is in an eager,
reflecting mood. For some reason
it hasn't been consulted since it
showed that prosperity was to be
with us for at least 10 years be-
cause the 1929 Kissel Kar was
selling so well.
Washington radio listeners hear
very little of Abbey Albert and
his orchestra, now at the Statler,
because of that peculiar quirk in
the minds Of radio people here
which insists listeners would
rather hear the same old records
over and over again than a live"
band.
But the Albert organization has
been getting a lot Of air time
during their Embassy Room stay.
Three Of their four air shots a

According to our program for
this column, this issue will be
for the more advanced collector
and so we will begin by telling
you something about the stamps
of Israel.
Palestine, formerly a part of
Turkey until the First World
War, was occupied by the Egyp-
tian Expeditionary Forces of the
British Army until the end of the
war. In June 1919, the Treaty of
Versailles inundated Palestine to
Great Britain and a series of pos
age stamps was issued under the
British Mandate which was dis
tinguished by the fact that these
E.EF. stamps were overprinted
"PALESTINE' in languages viz.
in Arabic on top, in English in
the center and in Hebrew at the
bottom. In 1927, new series ap-
peared, this time showing scenes
from the biblical history of the
Jews and Arabs. There were pic
lures of RachePS Tomb, The Mos
que of Omar, The Citadel at Jer-
usalem and The Sea of Galilee,
all of these with PALESTINE in
English at the top and in Hebrew
and in Arabic at the bottom. This
issue remained in circulation un-
til Great Britain announced it
would retire from the Mandate on
May Is, 1948.
With this announcement, The
Jewish National Council in Pale
Stine, feverishly began prepara-
tions for taking over the Palestine
Post Office and planned the new
issues of stamps for use when the
new State of Israel would be pro-
claimed. These stamps appeared
on May 16, 1948 in 9 values, from
3 mills to 1000 mills. To the sur
prise of ZioniSts and stamp col
lectors alike, these stamps did not
show Palestinian landscapes or
portraits of Zionist leaders, but

instead showed a series of ancient
Jewish coins. These coins were
minted by the Jews during the
two Jewish wars of liberation
against the Roman Empire in 67-
70 C.E. and 132-135 C.E. Thus it
can be said that this set of stamps
constitute direct link between
the new State of Israel and the
Jewish State of 1000 years ago.
Next month, we hope to be able
to illustrate the different stamps
as they came out of Israel.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
wish to take exception to some
of the very pointed remarks made
by Mr.. VIM. 1. Dunes in his col
umn relative to the recent AZA
Show of Shows.
I believe that Mr.. Dunes critic
ism of the show was needlessly
cruel and certainly unjust as
proven by his own very contradic-
tory acclaim of all but two acts
of the entire production. Since
he enjoyed most of the perform
ance, his claim about being

cheated" is most certainly with
out foundation.
It is with all due respect to the
varied talents of such versatile
performers as Wander and Glib
son, Dave Sirota, Preston Gordon,
Ira Greenstein and Band, Bever-
ly Howard, Molly Sohn and Aaron
Leitner, the largest orchid of all
should have gone to the group of
boys and girls who participated in
the two numbers which Mr..
Dunes, in his self-elected role of
drama critic, deemed unworthy
of mention.
This group of boys and girls,
who in spite of their lack of in
dividual talent, worked hard for
weeks, sacrificing away hours of
homework and sleep because of
rehearsals, so that they might, in
a small measure, make their con-
tribution to very worthy cause.
The public has no cause for
complaint in this instance. 1t is
the boys and girls who have a
justificable complaint against the
public, the same public who
will pay exhorbitant prices to see

Uncle Johnny Graves,
Oldest Confederate,
Dies at Age Of 1O8
By the Assoeiotsd Press

HIGGNSVILLE, Mo, May g.
Uncle Johnny Graves, the Ma
tons Oldest Confederate veteran,
died today. He was 103.
His real name was John Thomas
Graves, but everybody knew him
as Uncle Johnny.
| Until about 10 days ago when
he became i'll. Uncle Johnny could
still feed himself, smoke his pipe
and chew tobacco.
Smoking, chewing, q place to
eat and sleep-that's about all a
man of his age could ask, he used
to say.
He liked to sit in a rocker at
the State Confederate Veterans
Home here. reminisce and chat
with visitors. He even offered
tadvice on the atom bomb, which
he called "the devils instrument.
The best thing that all nations
can do today is to let well enough
alone to keep peace" he said
shortly before his 108th birthday
ANNIVERSARY last January !. mo
one ever wins in a war and the
next one won't be funny"
He was the last veteran in the
Confederate home which once
housed 1926 of his fellow soldiers
He had the 92-acre place prac-
tically to himself. A few widows
of veterans. however, still live
there.
It cost the State about $25, ,00O
a year to keep the home open and
see that Johnny was properly
cared for.
r. H Chapman. the homes
superintendent, said today he did
not know whether the institution
would be closed now.
Uncle Johnny was born January
l, 1842.
He was released after serving In
the Confederate Army only two
years. The reason?
Poor health.
