come one of the most widespread
of all hobbles. Rare issues of early
postage stamps command fabulous
prices. IfT had today one set of
stamps which I owned as a boy and
which I traded for a squirrel rifle,
I could sell them for many thou
sand dollars. That was a complete
set of uncancelled United States
departmental stamps.
A few years ago my wife came in
to possession of a trunk full of old
letters, which had accumulated for
more than a century in a New Eng
land farmhouse. Somebody else
had cut the most valuable stamps
from the envelopes, but there were
numerous stamps left for which she
got more than $10 apiece.
The most valuable stamps of all
are some of those issued privatelj
by postmasters before the govern
ment began to print stamps, in
1847. If you can find, for example,
a stamp issued by the Postmaster
of Alexandria, Virginia, in 1845, or
one by the Postmaster of Boscaw-
en, New Hampshire, in 1846, you
have found a fortune. Single copies
of each of these stamps have late
ly sold for $15,000 each!
AGE—
The State of New York granted
pensions to 51,168 old people in 1931
the first year of the operation of
the State Old Age Security Law.
The average pension was $26.92 a
month. Any person over seventy
years old who is unable to support
himself or herself is eligible for a
pension in New York.
Massachusetts gave relief to 10,-
000 old people in the first six
months of its Old Age Assistance
Law, for which every voter in the
State is taxed $1 a year. It cost an
average of $5.85 a week for each
jensioner. ,
Delaware, California and Minne
sota have State old age pension sys
tems. In Canada \63,285 old people
are on the pension rolls.
The time is coming,, soon, I be
lieve, when nobody in any civilized
part of the world will need to fear
destitution in old age.
CALENDAR—
The International Conference on
Calendar Reform seems to be mak
ing some headway. There is stffl.a
bitter dispute between the people
who would like to change our
method of computing'time‘from a
twelve-month year to a thirteen-
month year, but on one point al
most everybody ha£ come to an
agreement. That is to make East
er fall at the same time every year.
Under our present calendar East
er is the Sunday after the first full
moon which follows the twenty-
first of March. That may be any
time from March 22nd to April
25th. The Roman and Greek Cath
olic churches, the Church of Eng
land, the Lutheran church and all
the important Protestant denom
inations have agreed that there is
no reason why Easter should not
be fixed for the Sunday following
the second Saturday in April, and
authoritative action may be looked
for within the next year or two, in
suring that Easter in all parts of
the northern hemisphere will al
ways occur after spring has got well
under way, instead of falling, as it
now often does in northern cli
mates, while the world is still in
the grip of winter.
COLLARS—
In times like these it is the
“white collar” workers who get the
worst of it. They are the first to
be fired or to have their salaries
reduced. They are the last to be
taken back when business picks up
again. They are office workers or
store clerks mainly. Because their
training and inclinations make
them more fastidious than the gen
eral run of wage earners, most of
them are paying higher rents and
habitually spending more on living
than artisans and their families do.
As a white collar worker myself,
I have a grievance which I share
with all of them. Every commod
ity that I know of has come down
jin price, except white collars. Be-
Ifore the war we could buy white
i cotton collars two for a quarter,
and imported linen collars for a
Help For Landlords—
One of the most novel forms of
relief during the depression came
to light when a New Yorker, hard
pressed for money, went around to
his childrens’ public school to ask
relief from a new welfare board
started there.
When he applied for relief he was
told the board could not aid him
under their rules, which allowed it
to extend financial help only to
landlords who could not buy coal to
heat their buildings. Only land
lords who could show they were
carrying their tenants instead of
putting them out were entitled to
relief.
Hundreds of* tons of coal have
been given away free by the new
board. It is considered by many
as the most up-to-date relief ever
devised.
Aristocracy’s View—
Sutton aifd Beekman places are'
two of the most fashionable streets
here. They overlook thevEast River
and Blackwell’s Island, now called
Welfare Island, bn which the city’s
prison, poorhouse, charity hospitals
and institutions are built. As much
as such places can be made so, they
are beautiful to look at.
One of the admirers of this view
recently remarked that he enjoyed
looking at the prison, where he had
passed a not entirely disagreeable
year. Then he told how he had
written a book that handled a
prominent man, in a disparaging
manner and was sentenced to a
year’s imprisonment for criminal
libel.
One hearer commented chat he
had got more out of his book than’
most writers—a year’s free board
and lodging—and it cheered him
up considerably.
An Oulahan Story—
A Washington newspaper man
told a story about Dick Oulahan,
the New York Times correspondent
who recently died, the President
himself attending his funeral as a
mark of his respect and affection.
It seems that Oulahan and sev
eral other^ reporters were waiting
to interview the' President. As is
often the case, one of them told a
story, a trifle off-color. t Others fol
lowed suit. The first man, turning
to Dick, remarked:
T noticed you didn’t laugh at my
yarn. It ought to rate a laugh as
I believe you, yohrse . told it
to me.”
Dick looked at his interrogator ih
that ingratiating manner that yet
carried the air of a Spanish gran
dee in it, and gently told him:
“You are wrong. I have never
yet told an off-color story.”
A High Life Show—
New York has adopted an old
London custom. It is the one-man
or woman, show in a small hall
seating less than 500. ‘ Stewart
Baird, a baritone, actor and all
round entertainer is one of the-fav-
ored few who are recognized in
this field. He gives four shows a
year, about four hundred subscrib
ers paying $5 a seat. It makes him
a nice living with little effort and
permits him to live the life he
/ikes. '
St. James’s Hall, in London, has
been doing the same thing for a
hundred years and the most fa
mous men enjoy “doing their stuff”
on the small stage before society.
x
Green is always suitable for dec
orations bcause one can always
find so many guests who fit into
the color scheme.
quarter for the cotton collars and
forty cents for the linen ones.
I think I will go back to farming!
NECKTIES—
Is there anything more foolish
than a man’s necktie If you wear
a collar you have to wear a tie. It
is a perfectly useless adornment,
serving no real purpose except to
gratify the wearer’s vanity. A
man never sees his own necktie
when he is wearing it, so he must
wear it to please other people’s
eyes. I think there is a good deal
to be said for the costume which
used to be so popular in the movies
the rolled-collar shirt worn open
half way down the chest.
Men are such slavish followers of
fashions, however, that they will
never dress sensibly until a few
bank presidents and others who
make a business of being dignified
set the style of dressing comfort
ably.
