Legal Tender Cents

One cent pieces have not
always been legal tender in
the United States.
When the coinage law of
February 81, 1857, which pro-
vided for small cents. was
approved, its main purpose
was to eliminate from circu-
lation Spanish and Mexican
coins then widely used. It
made no provision for re-
demption of the cents.
Small coins of all kinds
were scarce during the Civil
War and it was not until we'll
after the fighting ended that
the unredeemable cents be-
gan to become a nuisance,
particularly to postmasters
and business firms.
In 1870 the business firm
of Holley e. Sheldon Of Hud-
son, N. Y, wrote to the Sec
retary of the Treasury:
rs there no way in which
we can dispose of pennies?
The country is flooded with
all kinds, large and small,
making it very unpleasant to
do business. We at1 obliged

Return of chosins

Kapp Records has released
three piano albums Of consid-
erable interests. Two Of them
bring back to public attention
Abram Chasins, the all-round
musician, who once starred
on the concert stage. No one
would suspect he retired is
years ago on hearing his
Chopin Collection"
These include familiar
works Of five types, including
the famous Polonaise in A
flat major and ScherZo in c
sharp minor. Chasins' tutor
ship under the great Josef
Hoffman comes through
brightly in his deeply intro
spective interpretations.
On another record Chasins
combines with his wife, Con-
stance Keene, and the Kapp
Sinfonietta conducted by
Emanual Vardi to play
Bach's concertos in C major
and c minor. This is very re-
laxed playing. sometimes too
much so, but also easy on the
ear.
A third Kapp record brings
back the French pianist,
Daniel Ericourt, in two of De-
bussy's more popular works,
the Children's Corner Suite
and Suite Bergamasque. Fri
court is at home in these, as
one will quickly learn from
the Clair de Lune episode
1t is elegance itself.

NUMISMATIC NOTES

to handle hundreds of dollars
weekly in pennies and we find
great difficulty in getting rid
of them. In this section of
the country mechanics are
compelled to take two or more
dollars worth of pennies
weekly in payment for their
services and have to go beg
ging around to the stores to
dispose of them. We cannot
even buy postage stamps
with them; the postmaster
refuses to sell over one stamp
and receive pennies in pay
ment."
Congress finally got around
to acting on the complaints.
BY the coinage act of Feb
ruary IL, 1873 it made the
cents legal tender to the
amount of 25 cents in any
one transaction and author
lied the Treasury to redeem
them in quantities of not less
than $40.
BY 1885 the cents had be-
come so popular that orders
for small coins exceeded the
capacity Of the Mint and a
rationing system had TO be
imposed.

IEImekki Puts Humor
Into Stamp Design
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

Hatim Elmekki is the man
who put humor into stamp
designing and Tunisian
stamps into an artistic class
by themselves.
Mr.. Elmekki is in Wash
ington as commissioner for
an exhibition of Tunisian
contemporary paintings
which continues through Fri
day at the Middle East House.
1907 New Hampshire avenue
NV.
He is first of all a paint
er-l0 of his works are in
the show-but he is equally
at home with posters, adver-
tisiRg art or stamp design.
Modest about his contribu-
tions in the philatelic field.
he nevertheless talks willing
ly and enthusiastically about
his stamps.
How did humor become an
important factor in his de-
signs? For a young coun-
try with a small budget, he
says, stamps are an impor-
tant source of foreign ex-
change. They should be at
tractive to collectors. And
since a young country should
present a smiling face to the
world, how better than by a
touch of humor in well de-
signed and well printed d
stamps?
Most of Tunisia's stamps
have been engraved by skilled
French engravers and printed
on the French governments
multi-color presses. but they
are completely Tunisian in
theme.

is after rendered in correct
perspective.
Concentrate on making all
elements within the picture
work toward the most effec-
tive possible portrayal Of
your subject. If the persons
hands just won't fit in natur-
ally, get them out of the
picture. Avoid distractingly
loud or strongly patterned
clothing unless it plays a
needed role in telling some
thing about the person you're
shooting.
AS we have pointed out
many times in the past, back
grounds can make or break
many portraits. The use of a
plain solid-tone background
is always a good approach.
Finally, don't skimp on
film. Keep shooting. varying
your subjects expression and
pose as we'll as camera posi-
ton and angle as you go.
Shoot literally. but not
wastefully and you'll find
your percentage of good pic

latter is the charming music

If you're a 35-mm. camera
user who has not tried por-
trait-type shots because you
don't have the elaborate
lighting equipment, back
drops, etc. usually associated
with that phase of picture
taking, you've been needlessly
missing out on a fascinating
side of photography.
Your 35-mm. equipment
can give you informal por-
traits of family and friends
in both color and monc-
hrome that will display an
air Of warmth and realty
often lacking in traditional
portrait studio photographs.
With a little imagination
and planning, you will find
that many areas in and
around your home, neighbor-
hood park, place of business,
or school will provide natural
settings for natural pictures
of people. AS for lighting.
the existing illumination
found in these places will
often be more than sufficient
for needed exposure.
Bounce Flash Warning
Bounce flash is a very
handy technique to employ
to complement existing light
ing when the latter is too
contrasty or too low in in
tensity to give the effect you
are after, but beware Of Off
color results If you bounce
from surfaces other than
white or gray when working
in color.
Shooting in natural sur
roundings keeps your subject
at ease. A housewife in her
kitchen. a child playing with
toys on the floor, father in
his favorite chair. or a teen
age girl at her dressing table
all will be at home amid
these familiar settings. A re-
laxed, comfortable subject is
an important requirement for
a successful portrait session.
Indoors or out. lighting for
natural portraits can be
found in abundance and va
riety. Beware of mixing light
