point to delicately pick up the
ink to remove the unwanted
objects in the picture.
After linking, the bromoil is
allowed to dry for several days
and then the oil is removed
by dipping the print in carbon
tetrachloride for approximately
one minute. This is known
as the Debating operation.
The print dries quickly and
retouching can be done with
an ordinary pencil eraser to
emphasize highlights, remove
telephone poles, etc. Small
light areas can be filled in with
wax-type crayon pencils, pro-
vided the shades exactly match
the tones of the bromoil.
One might readily say: ''It
sounds like a lot of work to
make bromoil. Well, it is, but
it is not too difficult to do, and
resulting prints justify the
effort. Bromoils are fascinat-
ing and intriguing and can be
made in various tones accord
ing to the color of the pigment

There are many references
to stamp collecting in the first
volume of "The Secret Diary
of Harold L. Ickes," published
last week. AS early as April
/. 1888. less than a month
after the late Secretary of the
Interior had been indicted
into Office, he recorded a con-
ference with President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt at the White
House and added: while I
was with him. I handed him,
as one philatelist to another
a full sheet of 100 old Scent
Department of Interior stamps,
and a similar sheet of Scent
stamps. These have been
obsolete for very many years,
but I had a tip that there were
some in existence in the Office
of the chief clerk and I was
lucky enough to get several
sheets of each, all that we're
left. He (F. D. RI was de-
lighted and. said that he would
frame them. These stamps
in sheets are very rare indeed,
and I am sure he was as
pleased to get them as I was"
Mr.. IckeS, of course, was
referring to the departmental
labels of 1873, printed by the
Continental Bank Note Co.,
vermillion in color and bearing
the profile of Houdon's marble
bust of Benjamin Franklin
facing left. The Scent de-
nomination is SCOTS No. OILS.

respectively, the sheets as of
1853 would be worth $685. as
singles and probably $1,000
as paneS.
The second reference to
stamps in the first volume of
Mr.. Ickes' journal is dated
April "a, 1888, and reads:
Yesterday, with the exception
of drive to Great Falls. up
the Potomac River, I spent at
home 1927 Thirty third
street, GeorgetownD. I went to
bed for a couple of hours in
the afternoon, and did some
work on my stamp collection.
Whether this means that the
Secretary worked" on his
stamps in bed, as President
Roosevelt sometimes did. is
not clear. But there can be no
question about Mr.. Ickes' ha-
bitual philatelic recreation on
Sundays. Throughout the Is
years he spent as head of the
Interior Department, he con-
siStently devoted at least a
few hours of each successive
Sunday afternoon to his
stamps. On some occasions he
brought his albums to his Of
flee, on others he worked"
over them wherever he was
residing.
Most of the new material
Mr.. Ickes acquired was pur-
chased from dealers in New
York. He subscribed to a new
issue" service for foreign
stamps and paid relatively
large sums for these labels
hot from the press" Once in
a while, however, he received a
contribution from a friend or
even from a stranger. Under
date of November 8, 1888, the
Secretary wrote in his diary an
account of a luncheon at the
White House for the Soviet
Commissar of Foreign Affairs,
saying: "At the end of the
luncheon an interesting thing
occurred. Mr.. (MaXim) Lit
vinov put his hand into an in
side pocket of his coat and
pulled out a couple of booklets
of Russian stamps which he
proceeded to show to the Presi-
dent. On Mr.. (Constantin)

the paper for the differential
acceptance of the oil pigment
in the place where the silver
image had been.
The third step is the most
important of all, and involves
the soaking of the print in
water at 80 degrees for about
Is minutes. Different papers
require a change in the tenn
perature of the water, and the
length of time of immersion
according to their specific
characteristics.
The print is then placed on
a blotter and wiped dry with a
piece of cheesecloth. The print
remains damp, but no drops
of water should appear on the

In the next step, the print
is placed on a board covered

stiff in consistency, is placed
on piece of ground glass and

with long bristles, cut in the
shape of a stays foot, is placed
in the ink and the charge is
smoothed out by tapping the
brush on a clean area of the

A brush is then placed in

and worked over the surface
in a stippling motion. At first
the print is rather unimpreS-

Palmer Stadium. They know that
65-point total for the Middies is
no typographical error. No team
ever had scored more than 81

in the 1949 season.
Three times this year the IT,

Navy scored two touchdowns in
the first and fourth quarters and

Only two of the touchdowns were

Erdelatz Had Been Worried.
The Middies scored anywhere
from 70 yards out to a line buck
from the one-yard line. They
had 50 points before Princeton
scored.
Nobody ever will be able to
explain how this happened.
Coach Eddie Erdelatz's team was
a 13-point favorite, but the Navy

that Princeton would be tough
on defense and dangerous with

Of course, the Middies used their

Hopkins Scores Twice.
Navy's second most outstand-
