But all the new stamps of our d.are Pictured history. Most of the
are specially elesign.od---like those
Mucha, a Czech artist, who shows
head of President Masaryk, the blase
smith ruler of Bohemia. Many of t
stamps are old issues, often "su
charged" or "overprinted" by invacl -
and now masters --like the Greeks
Asia Minor, the Roumanians in (Hu
garian) Transylvania; the llirrainia
in Galicia, and the Italians in t1
much -disputed Dalmatian ports—e
pecially D'Aiuruuzio's "Faithful Cit
. of Fiume.In sorite cases, the existing stam
have been so hastily altered that "e
rocs" have arisen, and the issue ha
in consequence, been withdrawn, a
ter a' very few examples have bee
overprinted. It is these which so o
ten l�econie the collector's albu
-prizes.
Sometimes they are worth ver
large sums indeed. A one -cent "o
ror" of the British Guiana (15.,0) Ira
made as much as $1,250 in the hal
room. Arcs a pair of the rarest of th
French -1 he cine -franc orange-vermi
lion of 1849 -•--fetched, under the hem
mei•, meet), This stamp was with
drawn. after less than a years use
owing to the confusion resulting fron
a tweutyeemltiine 'stamp of the Barn
eeees.
Invaluable Collections,
(.'olleedene like those of King Georg
and the King of Spain are of inter
notional importance. That of his Iiri
Veil Majesty is so large and valuabi
as to call for a special manager, in.th
person of Mr. E. D. Bacon, of th
Be eat Philatelic Society. To -day
stamp -collectors the world over
yovng end old, rich and poor, of both
eehes--•at'e having the time of theirlives. For never, surely, was there
such a flood of new stamps from new
Steles, or such a tide of freakish is-
el.ee 11 lid local makeshifts.
I know a soldier who brought back
a seers' of "British Occupation of Bag-
dad" stumps, and made $150 each on
therm, Ile paid just 81.85 for the lot.
In the past year nearly three thous -
mid new stamps have been poured out
by all nations, from Ireland to Ethire
pia.. The Sinn Fein "Republic" - has
its own issues; the rarest of these
were seized by political officers at the
storming, of Liberty Hall, in the Re-
bellion of 1916.
Poland has portraits of Paderewslri
and Pilsudski on her nein national
stamps,'to balance the rival claims of
statesman. and soldier in the State's
regeneration. The Republic of Es-
thonia favors a design of birds wing-
ing up out of a sternly sea. German
Austria has a now series by the artist
Josef Renner, Czeclio-Slovakia stamps
bear the head of Thomas Masaryk,
the new president, whose career of ad-
venture and persecution, from his
blacksmith days until now, is as lurid
a recb'd as anything in a boy's book,
This state, by the way, has separate
issues for Bosnia, Croatia, Slavonia,
and Dalmatia, since the "family" or
racial feeling in these provinces is
still very strong.
Some Freakish issues,
Armenia, Georgia,. and the unheard.
• of Republics of Ararat and Azerbaijan
all esti! exubdrant tales of freedom in
colored "scraps of paper," which are
now keenly sought by collectors in
Western Europe. As for invaders'
stamps, these are either special pro-
paganda issues --like those of the
Italians in Fiume' --or else overprints
upon local stamps, often with the
Money value altered.
Thus the Greeks issued Turkish
stamps in Asia Minor bearing the
words, "Hellenic Occupation," The
King of the Hedjaz ordered flew
stamps With his own portrait and that
of the Emir r'eisul, who played so lin.
portant a part in the Arab liberation.
Serbian issues show the rising sun of
a new day, and there are similar "oele-
bration" issues by famous cities like
Liege and Dantzig.
Very rare and valuable aro the
freakish stamps produced by the West
Ukraine Government, when their over-
eager forces invaded Austrian Galicia.
Even Schleswig has a new stamp. This -
marks the occupation of a plebiscite
that was to decide the future political
destiny of a State, which 001111114yacht wrenched away from Denmark

Sure! High Heels
Cause Coags But
Who Cares Now
Because style decrees that women
crowd and b'uglcle up their tender toes
in high heel footwear they Suffer front
corns, then they cut and trim at these
painful pests which merely makes the
corn grow hard. This suicidal habit
may cause lockjaw and woIilen are
warned toastop it.
A few drops of a ,drug called free*
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief' and Soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain. Ask the drug store Ivan for a
quarter of an ounce of freezone, which
costs very little but is sufficient to re-
move every harder soft corn or callus
from one's feet.
This drug is an ether compound and
dries in a moment and simply shrivels
up the corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. Clip this out and pin on your
wife's dresser.

The Rainbow's Sound.
Incredible as it may seem, a beam
of light can be made to produce sound.
A ray of sunshine is thrriwn through
a Iens on to a glass vessel containing
lampblack, colored silk or worsted, or
any like substance. A disk having
slits or openings cut in it is made to
revolve swiftly in this beam of light,
so as to "cut it up," thus causing alter-
nate flashes of light and shadow.
When one places his ear to the glass
vessel he bears strange sounds so
long as the flashing beam falls upon
the vessel.
A still more extraordinary effect is
produced when the beam of sunlight
Is made to pass through a prism so
as to produce what is called the solar
spectrum. The disk is turned and the
colored light of the rainbow is made
to break through it. Now if the ear
bo placed to the vessel containing the
silk or other material, as the colored
lights of the spectrum fall upon it,
sounds will be given out by the dif-
ferent parte of the spectrum, and
there will be silence in other parts.
For instance, if the vessel contains
red worsted and the green light flash-
es upon it, loud sounds will be given
forth. Only feeble sounds will be
heard when the red and the blue
parts of the rainbow fail upon the ves-
sel, Other colors will produce no
sounds at all. Green silk gives out
sound best 1n a red light. Every kind
of material gives more or less sound
in different colors and no sound at all
in others. •

s the Arab, decided to join the Allies,
s and Jaafar begged the British to re-
lease him and let Trim fight in Feisal's
5 army. The plea was granted, and Jaa-
r- far fought as valiantly on the side of

13111 S. Hood has just lett tl e -..lyde,
aseeseal e.e.onaore dor:pat.di. She will re-
phiee "the Queen Elizabeth as nagehilr
oi; the A:tlaatic fleet. Possibly the new
, Hood will be the last of her kind; it
is certain no other will be delivered
in the next four years.
r The giant vessel, held officially to
be a perfect blend of battleship and
battle cruiser, represents the naval
architect's idea of a practical realiza-
tion of an ideal fighting ship. She em-
bodies all the lessons of the war. She
is 860 feet long, with a displacement
of 41,200 tons, has a horse -power of
144,000 and a designed speed of 31
knots. IIer main armament consists
of eight 15 inch guns and her second-
ary armament of twelve 5.5 inch and
four 4 inch anti-aircraft guns. Her
full load of oil fuel is 4,00d tons. .A.
"blister" renders her unsinkable by
any existing torpedo. When com-
pleted fpr sea the Hood will have cost
$30,000,000, and the annual cost of her-'
maintenance in commission will be
$2,5000,000.
The Landsman Afloat.
Speaking at a dinner in New York,
Adm. Sims said some amusing things
about the Turkish navy.
"It's no wonder," said he, "that the
Turks failed to do much on the water
in the war. The Turks were never
a maritime people. The story goes,
in fact, that when they came to set
up a navy in Turkey they were very
much embarrassed by the lack of
naval words in their language. They
had no word for mainsail, no word for
fore -topgallant, and so on. To get
over the difficulty the Turks tied
such things as vegetables to the dif-
ferent sails and ropes, and the men
learned their duties to such com-
mands as:
" 'Hoist the potato!' 'Now, then, my
hearties, let go the tomato with a.
will!' 'All hands' aloft to reef the beef-
steak!' "
Lots of land and big muscles will
pay, but less land and plenty of active
brains may pay better.

A Far Journey.
The little boy who thought his
father had gone to heaven because Ire
had gone to Skye is matched by an
aged cottage body of whom the Lon.
don Horning Post tells. One,.morn-
ing the old lady asked the Post's cor-
respondent, who ledged with her, if it
was far to Russia. Ile said some of it
was much farther away than other
parts and asked why she wanted to
know. She said that they had sent
het son ---a fisherman who had joined
the navy—there, and that she would
never see him again. and with that
she fell to sobblee. Her lodger did
his best to comfort her and told her
that people carne back from Russia as
they did from other foreign parts,
"Not from where they've sent him,"
she said. "I shall never see him
again, not on earth."
"But why?"
"They've sent 111111," said she, "to

The Wrong ripe.
In this age of specialization the day
of the Jack -o? -ail trades is almost gone,
and -as for the master of none, he
spoils his temper - and wastes his
time, To illustrate this, a story is
told of a newly married couple in a
dainty cottage in a surburban quarter.
Everything in the house gave com-
plete satisfaction. But one evening
when the husband returned from b'J j'
rtes he found, to leis disgust, that a
water pipe had burst. The rooms
were flooded, and the carpets, which
were his special pride, were being
spoiled.
"Well," he said impatiently to his
wife, "why didn't you hal:nitrer the
pipe up? (liv>. me 0 hammer and NI
do it in a tw inkling."
le got the hammer and pounded
away at a pile down in tae celioi ;
-but when he paused to examine the
result of his labor, he heard the voice
of his wife at the top of he stairs,
"Howard," she said, "the gas has
gone out and the water is still run-
ning."
He sent for a plumber, after all.
