How to Collect
STAMPS
l8-SpeciuI Fields

There's no better way to
start than with a worldwide
stamp collection. but sooner
or later most collectors devel-
op an interest in a more
limited field.
This may be one country
or a group Of them. For many
Americans. naturally, it is
the United States.
Most new collectors start
with the less expensive recent
issues. These can be collected
as singles and arranged in
albums in the usual way. Two
other methods have become
increasingly popular in re-
cent years-getting first-day
covers Of the stamps can
celed on the day Of issue and
saving plate number blocks of
four.
Covers-the whole envelope
with its markings as well as
the stamp-are a major field
in themselves. Even those
from pre-stamp days are
eagerly sought by students of
postal history.
PrecancelS - stamps with
the cancellation printed on in
advance-have their own en-
thusiasts.
Air mail stamps are COL
lected on a worldwide basis,
and so are covers carried on
first flights and other historic
occasions.
Postal stationery items like
postal cards, stamped envel-
opes and air letter sheets ap-
peal to many collectors. Any
complete listing of special
fields would run into hun
dredS.
In fact, one of the best
things about stamps as a hob
by is that ways of collecting
them are limited only by the
interests and imagination of
the collector.
Next Sunday: First Day
Covers.

Early Sprays
Aid Trees

There's a new concept in
controlling fungus and bac-
terial diseases on shade trees,
Spray them early, earlier than
in years before.
This applies to a whole host
of trees: Maple, oak, elm, syca-
more. London plane, ash, horse
chestnut, hawthorn, hickory
walnut-even fruit trees such
as apple and plum.
Studies show that fast
spreading spores of diseases
get a firm, malignant grip on
trees far earlier in spring than
commonly supposed. This ac-
counts for the later-on DAM
aging leaf blotches, blight, leaf
curl, witches broom and black
knot (as on plum.
Winds and rains deposit the
spores on buds before they
open, on twlgs at the first
blush of spring. Suddenly, as
one bud opens, then another
and another, the spores take
hold on the baby leaves. Fungus
and bacterial infections quickly
root, then spread, cause in
jury and harm.
In a short while in some
trees, longer in others, damage
shows up. Leaves of white oak
sycamore and plane become
blotched by anthracnose. Elm
leaves are disflgured by that
BLACKBOARD, black spot. Leaf
curl hits naples. Ash rust scores
leaves Of ash. Hawthorne come
down with blight. Ugly spots
appear on horse chestnut
leaves. Fire blight blackens
apple ash. Rusts stain apples
Prevention is the answer
Spray just before the buds
break. What to spray with?
Any good copper fungicide.

U. S. Currency-8

BY an act of Congress
passed July 4, 1890, the Sec
rotary of the Treasury was
authorized to issue Treasury
notes bearing the legal ten
der obligation. The act also
directed the Secretary to buy
monthly AS million ounces
of silver at the market price
and to pay for it with Treas
ury notes redeemable in coin.
The act fixed the amount
of these notes outstanding at
one time as not more or less
than the silver bullion and
the silver dollars coined from
it.
Unlike the silver certifi-
Gates, these notes could be
redeemed in either gold or
silver - or even copper - at
the discretion of the Secre-
tary. No specific metal was
mentioned in the obligation.
These Treasury notes are
popular with collectors. So
many were redeemed they are
on the scarce side, and in
new crisp condition COM
mand a high premium. AS a
whole these notes, with their
diverse portraits of famous
Americans, are an attractive
series.
The notes were issued in
eight denominations, 81, 81,
IS, $40, $40, $50, 500 and
1000. A $500 note was au-
thorized and a plate made
but it was never issued.
The obligation of the 1890
and 1891 Treasury notes
reads: The United States
of America will pay to the
bearer Dollars in coin.
This note is legal tender at

the Nations network Of inter-
connected commercial power
lines would, in effect, provide q
ready made storage system
That is, as individual homes
were feeding in surpluses OF
current, the distribution system
of the power companies would
supply 1t to other areas.
How Il Would Work
The system would work this
way:
A group Of special chemical
solar cells would absorb sunlight
as it fell on the roof. The cells
would convert the solar energy
into direct current electricity
This electric power would drive
a dc. motor. which in turn
would be mechanically coupled
to a mechanism for changing
dc. into alternating current
Some Of the latter would &c
into the residential power lines
as required; the rest would be
fed into the main power lines.
Why not have a big plant for
central station conversion OF
solar power instead Of a home
system?
Too costly at present. Mr.
Giacoletto said.

There is much good music in
Washington, but now that
Sousa is dead our city is the
source of only one musical or
ganization or individual I'M
questionably an international
byword. AS I have remarked
on several occasions, to say that
the Budapest Quartet is the
greatest in the world has no
real meaning, for one can log
ically look for many qualities
In any artistic interpreter and
weigh his choice by the pre-
ponderance of excellencies he
enjoys. But the Budapest
Quartet is certainly the stand
ard of all groups of two fiddles,
o viola and cello.
To anyone whose musical ex-
perience extends over the last
80 years it is quite natural, in
deed unavoidable, that his ap-
probation of and receptivity to
all other quartets is conditioned
by his exposure to the Buda-
pest.
The quartet opened its season
last night at the Library Of
Congress. There is no change in
it that one can report. 1t is as
suave, as honey, as conServa-
tive. as rich in sound, as imbued
with the spirit of the music it
plays as it ever was. It still
puts the superfuous music on
the stands before it. it still
bows to the great applause
with various looks of refined
and pleasant satisfaction.
Boris Kroyt still nurses his
viola stretched out like a coun-
try gentleman at his ease,
Mischa Schneider still listens
to his cello with a look of rapt
surprise; Joseph Roisman still
plays with the easy flourish of
the leader of an Austrian en-
peror's waltz band; Sascha
Schneider still looks like Franz
