By its eolaring it shows that aot only Russia, but Finland, Poland, Roumania, and Persia have gone "Red." Similar 'errors on stamps are not uneomnion. Not many years ago the Dominican Republic issued some bearing a map of the Island of Hayti, the eastern portion of which is occu- pied by that republic and the western portion by the 1-llaytian Republic. This misrepresentation of the bound- ary annoyed the Haytians so rnueh" that they threatened war, and con- sequently the stamps . were with- drawn. Afterwards a bonfire was made of them, says Tit -Bits. There was nearly a rupture be- tween neighboring states in 1921. Bulgaria then issued stamps showing. the ex -Tsar Ferdinand, views of Macedonia, and an outline map of "Greater Bulgaria.". The parading of the portrait of "Foxy Ferdinand" was regarded as dangerous propa- ganda, and the maps and views were taken as a defiance of the terms of, peace between Bulgaria and the Allies. It was explained, however, that the 'stamps had ' been ordered from Germany in 1915, that they were in- tended to celebrate the Bulger .suc- ceases of that period in Macedonia, and that they had not been delivered till May, 1921. But the issue had to be promptly cancelled. Of another kind of errors there are many instances on British Colonial stamps. One for "Newfoundland: in . 1876 gave a seal claws, and an issue for Nyassa in 1901 depleted an ad normally long -necked giraffe eating' coconuts from a palm tree. There is a similar lapse on the current Northern Rhodesian stamp, which is adorned with an Indian elephant. The design on India's two and a half annas stamp of 1911 was sup- posed to include an elephant; but, as the animal was taken for a pig, it gave offence to Mohammedans, and was re -engraved, Two remarkable errors occur in one issue of stamps, that for Jamaica in 1921. The first is an inaccuracy in the drawing of the Union Jack, and the other represents a nude native sitting contentedly on a cactus hedge! Another long series of errors oc- curs in the representation of histor- ical personages, of whom Columbus has been the greatest sufferer. There is an American issue of. Columbus stamps, and while on one of them the great navigator, shown in sight of land, has a smooth, clean-shaven face, on another he is depicted with a long, flowing beard. The prime blunder connected with Columbus, however, is ou the St. :Kitts and. Nevis issue of 1903. He is figured looking through a telescope— ali Instrument not invented until a ee ry later. The centrad device in the current Virgin Islands stamp represents St. 13raul;i, after whom Columbus named one of the islands of the group, ivi:th a number of lamps on each side of her. The ua1jae of virgin for Ills is ragas as i whole was suggested by the legend of the massacre of the "eleven thousand virgins" at Cologne in the fourteenth century. When one issue of stamps for the colony was in preparation, the en- graver was given a seal to copy. This bore a figure of Justice, which he changed to a figure of the 'Virgin Mary, under the impression that the colony meant "Islands of the Virgin" instead of "Islands of the Virgins. He represented the Virgin, ' more- over, standing on the ground, her arms folded and her hands crossed on her breast, and with a nitubus of eight stars. Ohucunague Collection Received. An important ethnological collec- tion of the Chucuuaque Indians, a lit- tle known tribe of Panama, has just come to the Museum of American Indians, Heye Foundation, as the gift of Lady Richmond Brown and F. A. Mitchell -Hedges of London. Itis be- lieved that this collection is the only one relating to these Indians hi any museum in the United States. There are 1,000 articles in the col- lection, including costumes, pottery, carved wood idols and weapons. Among the most ourlous pieces are elaborately appliqued cloth designs which W. C. Orchard, of the.ethno- logical department of the museum believes constitute a form of tribal record in picture writing. One of these designs Prof. Orchard has in- terpreted as a picture story of the flood. Women Air Pilots 'Unite.

WING}IA •ADVANCE -Ti WORLD WAR VET. GIVES EXPERIENCE` "I'm a World War veteran and served overseas for three and a half years with the .58th Battalion of Can- adian Infantry I was wounded and gassed in action, and have been a sick man .ever since." WILLIAM CORMACK "I came out of the service..I spent many a hard-earned dollar trying to get back: niy_health, but I don't be- lieve I ever would have gotten back niy health if a friend of mine in Min- neapolis hadn't started me on this new Sargon medicine by sending me two botflese "The 'gas' I got overseas had just about shot my system to pieces. Many a day I'd get so weal: and,ner- vous I'd just have to quit work and go hone. Indigestion and constipa- tion Were always giving me trouble, in spite of the laxatives and medicines I took almost every night, and some- times bad dizzy spells would come over me. I couldn't sleep good; kept losing weight steadily and became mighty discouraged over nay condi- tion. "I noticed such a big improvement afterthose first two bottle of. Sar- gon my friend sent ire, that when I found out I could get this new medi- cine in Toronto, I. went down to Tamblyn's Drug Store and bought two more bottles. 'I fell like a "new ratan now and my weight has increas- ed from 140 to 150 pounds! My whole system is strengthened and toned up, and I can eat anything that's put before ane without having a sign of indigestion' or dizziness af- terwards. I'm not nervous either but sleep good every night and my work is a real pleasure. Instead of being 'fagged out' at the end of the day, I feel just about as fresh and fit as when I started. "I also took the Sargon Soft Mass Pills and they're a valuable part of the treatment. They don't upset me at all and got my bowels regulated so 000 at lar y ever ave to take then any more. "My wife has now started the treat- ment and is already looking lots bet- ter. I've recommended it to any num- ber of my friends and I haven't heard of anybody yet that Sargon didn't help. I'rn always glad to talk to those; who want to ask ins about this great medicine." The above straightforward state- tient was made recently by 'William Cormack, well known contractor of 537 McRoberts Ave., Toronto.

The new mentrment in Madrid to Cervantes, which is nearly finished, stands in a commanding site in the centre of the Plaza de Espana, near the Royal Palace, The site is well chosen, for, geo- graphicali.;' speaking, it may be de- scribed as the very heart of Spain, and it is here that all Spanish:speak- ing nations, through this monument, render homage to the genius of the author of Don Quixote. From every part of the world where Caatiliau is spoken money to defray its cost has flowed from thousands of subscribers. An historical name, that of the house of Alba, figures at the head of the list, and the Duke, Spain's patron of art, presides over the committee to which has been intrusted the se- lection of the plans and superinten- dence of their execution. The designer's preference for the severe grandeur of art of the period of PYhilip IL, the Influence of which is shown throughout, led to the choice of Don Lorenzo Coullard Valera, a Spanish sculptor, well known also in South Africa. The memorial consists: of two monuments, The more imposing stands 60 feet high, a life-size bronze -group of Don Quixote, on .a horse, and his man Sancho Pangs, on a don- key. The group stands well in front (Furnished by the Ontario Depart of the main memorial. ment of Agriculture) A figure of Cervantes, twice life size, crowns the main column. It is superbly carved in white stone, and on either side of the pedestal are. carved figures depicting the battle of Lepanto, where the author fought, and a scene in which he appears as a captive of the Moors. At the back of the monument is an allegorical representation, the "Fount o1 the Castilian Tongue," fea- tures of which are the arms of all Spanish-speaking nations.

PACKARD. One of the bast of the Clipper Ships Placed In Marine Collection. One of the last of the clipper ships still afloat, the Benjamin F. Packard, built by Goss, Sawyer, and Packard, of Bath, Me., in 1883, is to become a unit in Boston's group of individual marine collections which so suitably memorialize New England's import- ance during the great age of sailing ships, when "Yankee bottoms" car- ried the bulk of the world's fast shipping trade and showed their trim heels with saucy regularity to plod- ding, grimy steamers. The Packard's measurements are 244 feet on deck, with a 43 - foot beam. Her tonnage is 2,013. She has a copper sheathed bottom and is ful- ly rigged in first-class condition. The captain's quarters, finished in the late Victorian style, and the dining saloon are still fully equipped for service. Her active career continued to Oc- tober, 1925, when she completed her last 'voyage with a cargo of lumber from the Pacific •coast, through the Panama Canal and northward. She was then purchased by Max Williams, who loaned her to the United States ovaesve to be used as a train- ingBlip isero • a peal°. Her present owner is Benjamin Ylaydermkn, of .

In the smaller cities and towns of Brazil which have a numerous Negro population, the week from Christmas to the New Year is celebrated in a manner totally different from the Christmas of the Portuguese and oth- er Europeans kilo comprise the white population. The Negroes have torch- light processions and street dancing every night, paying homage to an eleoted king and court. The "Congada," as it 18 called, be- cause it was initiated scores of, years ago by slaves from the Congo, dif- fers only slightly from that of the eighteenth century. In the ;days of slavery, which ended .in 1888, when Princess Isabella, daughter of Dom Pedro II., acted as Regent. issued the Emancipation Proclamation, the slaves held the Oongadas on the great fazendae.. It was their play- time of the year, but the :Congadas weresomewhat iniiuenced by the Christianity of the fazendero's fain- tly their overlords. In recent years the descendants of those slaves who held processions and paid homage to, a mythical king of the Congo continue the custom in nearly all sections of Brazil, but especially in the region of Bahia. p y Career of a Journalist.

The practice of giving a middle name to children was unknown in; before the period of h ' land ethe 'Eng Stuarts, and did not become at all emotion until Georgian'times. There was in fact a law on the statue book forbiding parents to give more than one name to their children.
