STAMPS TELL
A STORY

A new stamp from the
Ryukyu Islands honors the
lowly sweet potato. Like
most stamps. it has q story
behind it.
Until the early part Of the
18th century rice was the
staple food of the people OF
Okinawa and the neighbour
ing islands south Of Japan.
But the typhoons which
roar through the China Seas
made rice an uncertain
crop at best. and often
famine followed in the ty-
phoon's wake.
In 1905 a man named
Noguni Sokan brought sweet
potato plants from China.
The new crop. in the years
that followed. frequently
meant the difference be-
tween life and death. Crate
full Okinawans raised a
shrine to Noguni's memory
at the spot where his ship
landed.
Today Okinawa is the site
of a great bomber base and
the islands, occupied during
the war against Japan, re-
main under American mill
tary control. But sweet po-
tatoes are still a major food
source, and Noguni's arrival
with his precious cargo Is
still remembered. His shrine
and a sweet potato plane
appear on a 4-yen dark blue
stamp issued November 20.

The Efnft hsnpiap InStjtlftton


One of the most notable
"finds" made by the National
Museum in the field of photog-
raphy is a recently discovered
intermittent movement for mo-
ton picture projectors which
was designed especially for am
ateurs by Washington's famous
inventor, the late Thomas
Armat.
Armat won world renown
and acclaim as the inventor OF
the first practical intermittent
(stop-start movement that
made possible flicker-free
screen projection of motion
pictures. But until recently it
was generally believed that
Armat's Geneva cross move
ment was the last Of his in
yentions in this category.
However, a short time ago
MS WldOW, VINO Still resides
here. while going through his
workshop, came across small
protector which recalled his
interest in amateur cinematog-
raphy. This machine she pre-
sented to the National Museum
together with some interesting
and hitherto undisclosed infor-
nation about Armat's plans for
an invasion of the field of
home movies.
Predicted Home Movies Hobby
Some years after Edison had
acquired the rights to the
Geneva cross movement for
projectors Armat foresaw that
in the not too distant future
home movies would be as pop
ular as the snapshot hobby
made possible by the inven-
tons and production methods
Of George Eastman.

ForIey's Gift Sheets
BY BELMONT FARES

James A. Farley's own full
set of the original Farley gift
sheets have been placed on
display at the Smithsonian
Institution.
With them are six stamp de-
sign sketches by former Pres
ident Franklin D. Roosevelt
his ideas for the Byrd, Moth
er's Day, Susan B. Anthony,
Virginia Dare and Four States
commemorative and the g.
cent Eagle and Shield air mail
stamp.
The full sheets. autographed
by both Mr.. Farley and Pres
ident Roosevelt, the sketches
and other items in the display
are from the extensive stamp
and cover collection of Mr..
Farley. which has been placed
on indefinite loan with the
Smithsonian.
They are being shown in the
rotunda of the Arts and In
dustries Building, Just beyond
the Wright Brothers Kitty
Hawk airplane.
Mr.. Farley, as Postmaster
General. learned about stamps
the hard way. He had given
away as souvenirs" 80 full
sheets of stamps from 20 diff
ferent issues. none of them
available to the ordinary COL
lector, before one Of them
reached the market early in
1885 with an asking price of
$4,000. 1t created a major
philatelic scandal and laid
Mr.. Farley wide open to a
variety of charges by his po-
litical opponents.
Apparently it had not &C.
Cured to Mr.. Farley that his
souvenirs" ungummed and
for the most part imperforate,
were extremely valuable stamp
varieties. At the $40, 900 ask
ing price. moderate enough
under the circumstances, Mr..
Farley's own 20 sheets, in
scribed to his children, would
have been worth 100000. Mr..
Roosevelt had a similar set,
and SO did other officials.
AS his political critics cried
fraud, stamp groups urged Mr..
Farley to call back all of the
gift sheets. That was impos-
sible, but the embattled Post
master General had learned
that the economic law Of sup
ply and demand also applies
to stamps. He placed full
sheets and blocks of all 20
varieties on sale at the Phila-
telic Agency.
Naturally. that didn't please
everyone. But it improved the
