lectors should be informed
about such treasures. but it is
much more important for
them to be advised about
stamps within their economic
reach.
What Life has done is to
give free publicity to specimens
of exceptional inventory worth.
practically all of them pres
entity in the philatelic market.
The 1856 one-cent black on
magenta British Guiana, for
example, is listed in Scott's
Standard Postage Stamp Cata-
logue at $4,000. but actually
is being held by an anonymous
individual for sale at 100000.
Whether the "owner" is a
dealer is not disclosed, but it
is a logical assumption that
he is.
Life mentions a collector"
whose pseudonym is Atlanticus
and who holds a cover bearing
two one penny orange Queen
Victoria Mauritius stamps Of
1847 catalogued by Scott's at
$4,000 each but appraised by
Atlanticus, whoever he may be,
at SIS, 900. Two other Owners"
are concealed under the aliases
Pacificus and Arcticus-which
conceivably are trade designa-
tions for philatelic brokers
commercially engaged in spec
ulations running into astro-
nomical figures.
The text of Life's presenta-
ton is signed by Claude STAN
ush and Alex West is credited
with having acted as "techni-
cal adviser; but neither Of
these names appears in the
membership list of the Ameri-
can Philatelic Society-the
standard stamp personnel ros-
ter most readily available for
consultation.
A risk of future trouble is
involved in the fact that the
stamp replicas placed in cir
culation by Life may turn up
in albums offered for sale
many years hence-as legiti-
mate specimens. To prevent
this collectors wishing to pre-
serve the cover and inside,
pages of the magazine indi-
Gated should keep them in
tact.
Life magazine, meanwhile,
might perform a real service
to the entire public, not
merely to persons who already
are interested in the worlds
most popular hobby, by bring
ing out an illustrated feature

The SmithSonlon INSTITUTION
The time is here once more
to set yourself for The Stars
Annual Snapshot Contest.
Here's the story in capsule
form: First entries may be
sent in the week of May Is;
the first judging will take
place June 2; the first weeks
winners will appear in The
Sunday Star of June 27; clos
ing date of the contest. Sep
tember 4; local and National
awards totaling more than
$4,000.
Now let's take a closer look.
First let us emphasize the fact
that this will be a contest
strictly for amateur photog-
raphers. This automatically
rules out any competition from
the professionals who might
naturally be expected to run
off with many of the awards if
allowed to compete. So your
chances of winning one or more
of the cash awards will be just
as good as those of anyone
else who sends in his favorite
snapshots.
Each week Of the contest The
Star will award a prize Of $40
for the best picture of the week.
In addition, there will be two
SIS awards for the two runners
up, and a fourth print will re-
ceive an honorable mention.
All award prints will be pub
lished in The Star Pictorial
Magazine.
Top Four Get Extra Prizes
At the close of the contest a
panel of judges will select
from among the weekly win
ners the top four prints of the
year, each of which will re-
ceive an additional $25 cash
prize.
Then these four winning
prints will be entered in the
National Snapshot Awards for
chance at the really big
money. Here, a board OF
nationally known picture ex-
perts will name the winners.
Top prize in each of the four
classes will be $1,000-a lot of
money for a snapshot. Second
prize in each class will be $500.
and there also will be four
third place awards of $3.50
each, 60 special merit awards
of $50, and 200 honor awards
of $25.
If you have any doubts that
your snapshots will be suitable
for the contest set them at
rest right now. The rules are
simple, with few restrictions,
and there are four classes OF
entry which are set up to take
care of any type of picture you
wish to enter.
Now let's run over the rules.
First, as we have said, this
is contest for amateurs only,
and no professional photog-
rapher may enter. All pictures
must have been made after
July /, 1953-no comment is
needed on that one.
You may use any brand OF
black and white film you wish
and any camera, regardless OF
make. However. glass plates
and color films are ruled out.
You may do your own de-
veloping and printing if you
wish or you may have it done
by any photofinisher OF your
selection. Any brand of paper
may be used, but no print
should exceed 10 inches in the
longer QlmenSlOn.
No Retouchine Allowed
The rules provide that no
art work of any kind be done
on either negative OF print.
This means no retouching OF
any kind. Likewise. no COM
posite pictures will be accept
ed, such as multiple printing
or montage results.
You may enter as many
prints as you wiSh-every week
of the contest. These should
