negative there was movement
of one of the subjects arms
or legs; however, the facial
expression was very good. You
can place the film in the en-
larger and run the image up
to a size that would eliminate
the faulty portions.
Again. a landscape scene
may show a pile of rubbish
that went unnoticed when you
snapped the picture. BY use
of the enlarger. this part can
be eliminated with ease.
The enlarger can often be
used to make corrections for
mistakes Of exposure and de-
velopment. If, for instance,
you have a negative that Is
extremely dense in one part
and normal in another, you
can cut hole in a sheet of
cardboard and print in the
dense part thus giving diff
ferent exposure times to diff
ferent areas of the print.
Or, should the negative be
unusually thin in portions, you
can use the cardboard to hold
the exposure back from this
portion while giving the rest
of the scene its correct ex-
posure.
With the enlarger you can
get the very best from your
finest negatives, making por-
trait engagements for franz
ing, or blow-ups of your better
scenic shots for exhibitions in
the home or in camera club
competitions. If your shots
are exceptionally good they
can be used very handily in
the form of photo murals for
decorating walls of your home.

FIPEX Card Error

An inquiry about FIPEX
postal cards lacking the blue
overprint-at least nine have
been reported found by COL
lectors-brings this explana-
ton by Public Printer Ray
mond Blattenberger of how the
error occurred:
The overprint was produced
by offset (photolithography)
as was the first color. The
cards were printed in sheets
of 100 on a two-color press.
Each sheet passed under tan
dem impression cylinders to
receive the two colorS in one
printing operation.
The failure of some cards
to receive the second color may
be attributed to these sheets
passing through the press with
the second impression cylinder
inadvertently tripped; in other
words, the pressman neglected
to reset the tripping mechan-
ism after the press was stopped
for wash up to remove a spot
of dirt from the impression
cylinder or during a lunch
period. The second color will
not print while the cylinder
is tripped.
A number Of sheets could
pass through in this manner
but it is unlikely that very
many escaped detection by the
presSman whose responsibility
it is to remove imperfectly
printed sheets. Assuredly the
pressman'S inspection and his
awarenesS of the tripped cylin-
der would result in the removal
of nearly all sheets not COM
pletely printed.
Questioned about the color
of the overprint, which seemed
more black than blue to many
collectors, Mr.. Blattenbergel

By BELMONT FARES

~ AA@A@ANA
The Philatelic Agency. which
has been working for three
months to reduce a huge back
log of mail orders, now expects
to catch up sometime this
week.
Chief cause of the pile up,
which resulted in delays of
many weeks and complaints
from some collectors, was the
issuance of the four FIPEX
items, three of them-the SOU
venir sheet, postal card and air
mail envelope-available only
at the agency after the big
New York show closed May 6.
BY the middle of May 14.500
orders were stacked up at the
agency. Even with five extra
order clerks on the job it was
slow work, but by last We'd
nesday FIPEX orders were
current and special orders (for
large lots of stamps were
practically up to date.
Robert E. Fellers, director
of the division of philately,
said he expected the last of the
delayed regular orders (for
smaller lots of mixed stamps
to be mailed out this week.
Mr.. Fellers said he regretted
the delay and appreciated very
much the patience shown by
the agency'S patrons. With the
additional clerks trained in
the exacting work of filling
orders, he expects to be able
to keep the agency on a cur
rent basis in the future.

CHEAPER, BETTER BREAD POSSIBLE BY FREEING

Commercial freezing may give homemakers cheaper, better bread.
 If developed comercially, this practice could reduce staling, loss on unsold loaves and costly night baking. Research is being done at the Western Utilization Re search Laboratory in cooperation with the Refrigeration Research Foundation. Details of the pro- cess are reported in "Agrlcultur- al Research, a monthly publica- ton of the U. s. Department Of Agriculture.
 The bread is best when 1t IS frozen as rapidly as possible as soon as ii leaves the oven. Quick def-osting also is preferred. rhawed bread, placed on grtv. $ shelves or kept in the home, will not firm up faster than unfrozen bread, provided the freezing and fhawing have been properly done.
 Wrapping and storage tempera- lure and humidity are being test ed.

the end of World War II, for the period in which these drugs have been available has encompassed the most rapid decline in tuberculosis mortality the world has ever seen.
 The drug streptomycin marks the starting point of this chemical at- tack on the disease. Recently, the first human patient treated with the drug was revisited, and a "before and after" report was made in the American Recieao of Tuberculosis and Pstlmonary Disease.
 The patient, a 21-year-old girl sui fering from advanced tuberculosis, was given streptomycin in 1944. Now married, she is "the mother of three robust children who were born in 1850, 1852 and 1854 respective ly,o the report states.
 This happy ending of an appar. ently hopeless case has been dupli- cated thousands of times since the TB wonder drugs were first devel- oped. and new advances in therapy are today constantly adding exam. ples.

 Medical specialists from Howard University, reporting on it's use at the recent Third Annual Antibiotics Symposium. stated that Streptohy. drazid produced more rapid clinical improvement than did either isonia. gid or streptomycin given alone. In addition, it helped to eliminate major problems arising from the prolonged use of the other drugs problems such az dangerous side. effects and resistance.
