BT PHILATELISTS
Kunze,t at Cleveland Ses
sion, Announces Winner
of Silver Plate.
BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.
CLEVELAND, December 9.-*-The
second American Philatelic Congress,
held at the Hotel Statler here Monday
and yesterday, closed with the an
nouncement, read by Eugene Klein, ‘
chairman, that the 193? convention
will meet in Chicago. Twenty-five
Illinois stamp clubs, under the lead
ership of Dr. Clarence W. Hennan,
will sponsor the occasion.
At the final congress luncheon Al
bert F. Kunse, leader of the Wash
ington Stamp Club of the Air and
chairman of the congress jury, re
ported that the silver plate of the
second congress had been awarded to
Donald P. Lybarger for his paper on
"The United States Issues of 1918
1920: Offset Printings.” Honorable
mention certificates went to Dr. Hen
nan for his study of "The Stamps
and Mail Service of the Private Posts
of Chicago" and to Leo Shaughnessy
of Sharon, Pa., for his monograph
on “United States Stamps No. 33 and
No. 44.”
Oerard Ten Eyck Beeckman’s plan
for the purchase of the “world’s most
valuable stamp"—the unique British
Guiana gem from the collection of the
late Arthur Hind—was discussed, but
no formal action was taken. Further
negotiations, it was understood, will
be carried on with representatives of
the owner of the rarity.
Diming the morning session Fred W.
Green, Cleveland attorney, made a
stirring appeal for a “code of honor”
for stamp collectors. Such a code,
he said, could be formulated from
reports of the Board of Vice Presidents
of the American Philatelic Society on
contentious cases.
Another feature of the open forum
meeting of the congress was a gen
eral discussion of ways and means
for reconditioning old covers bear
ing stamps. Dr. Blake Battles, presi
dent of the Rubber City Stamp Club
of Akron, urged the preservation of
such material in its natural state.
"The less tampering with it,” he
said, “the better.” Fine entires, how
ever soiled or time-stained, he ar
gued, “should not be laundered.”
George S. Fanning and Mr. Beeck
man. debating the market for silver
jubilee stamps of Great Britain, told
the congress that fluctuation in prices
is Inevitable.
Mr. Kunze, speaking of the need
for a trained and experienced phila
telic adviser for the Post Office De
partment, was roundly applauded
when he insisted: “The Government
already has a guide in the philatelic
curator of the Smithsonian Institu
tion, Mrs. Catherine L. Manning. If
it seeks her help, it will be given
cheerfully. She has the confidence
of the collecting public to a degree
that no politician ever could attain."
The ccigress bourse continued un
til midnight last night with irmny hun
dreds of thousands of dollaft’ worth
of stamps on display. Meanwhile, Mr.
Klein left for New York to attend the
fortieth birthday anniversary banquet
of the Collectors’ Club of that city.
Dr. Hennan departed for Chicago to
begin organization work for next year’s
meetings, and other delegates started
home.
Connecticut Act Approved.
BOSTON, December 9 UP).—John
Pearson, New England director for
the Social Security Board, announced
late yesterday receipt of word from
Washington that the board had ap
proved the Connecticut unemploy
ment compensation act.
FOXHALL CITIZENS
AGAIN PICK MILLER
Service on Conduit Road Bus Line
Protested in Resolution by
Association.
Charles 8. Miller was re-elected
president of the Foxhall Citizens' As
sociation last night. Other officers
elected were C. Madison, vice presi
dent; Frank Dune an, secretary, and
Fred Nessell, treasurer.
The association passed a resolution
protesting against the service on the
Conduit road bus line, and asked that
the line be continued to the downtown
section of the city. The present line
extends from the District line on Con
duit road to Wisconsin avenue and S
street.
Another resolution passed last night
requested the Capital Transit Co. to
change the car stop on the Cabin John
line from the west side to the east side
of Conduit road so that passengers dis
mounting would not have to cross a
dangerous intersection.
The association also voiced a pro
test against the construction of an
abattoir in Washington.
CENTENARIAN DIES
Three Great-Great-Grandchildren
Survive Clear Spring Woman.
CLEAR SPRING, Md„ December G
(IP).—The family of Mrs. Maria Downs
made plans today for a funeral for
the aged woman, who died four months
after her hundredth birthday Au
gust 3.
Mrs. Downs died yesterday at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Harry M.
Schnebly, from the Infirmities of age.
The aged woman’s centennial vga
celebrated last Summer with a gather
ing of 200 friends and neighbors at a
birthday party given for her. She re
called many events of the Civil War
and told of a trip to the West mads
in a covered wagon In 1846.
She is survived by two children, 21
grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren
and three great-great-grandchildren.
Automobile tires wear out faster In
Summer than in Winter, owing to dry,
gritty pavements.
