Leftover cooked meat or fish can be served creamed, esca Hoped. In salad or sandwiches, sliced cold In croquettes, heated in small amount of gravy, used for pies or made into dry or moist bosh. The value of a stamp Is deter- mined by the scarcity or number is sued ot such stamps and not by the iBe oi me stamp. Many of the old er stamps such as the two and three cent stamps were used in large num bers and have but a small vulue to day. . Condition of a stamp also deter mines a stamp's value. Copies that are perfect and well centered, many times sell at full catalog value and sometimes fine copies bring a prem ium over catalog value. Stamps with thin spots, tears, punched holes and straight edges are almost worthless and are regarded as space fillers by most collectors. Some stamps are more popular with col lectors than other issues and there fore supply and demand help to de termine a stamp's value. Of the Mother's day stamps there ! rtere 11.600,000 flat-bed printed and from the rotary plates 213,433.300. The flat-bed stamps were used first and supplies were sent to Alaska, Hawaii, Porto RJco and Virgin Is lands. Also many were used by the Washington post office on first day covers. The Issue of flat-bed stamps will not be plentiful and as an In vestment they can be expected to yield the most return for the money. 'ine above figures represent the total number of stamps printed and from which the spoilage in printing must be deducted. The flat-bed stamps have straight edges on two sides of the sheets, which make 14 per cent of the sheet of stamps worthless for collecting purposes.

The stamp Is of the same size and shape as the regu lar issue and is printed In red Ink. Across the top of the stamp Is ar ranged In two lines In a curved panel are the words "United 8tates Post age" In white Roman letters. Ex tending below the panel is a verti cally striped background, the upper ooraer or which is composed of nar row scrolls. In both lower corners in circles with dark backgrounds appear the white numeral "2." In a dark panel connecting the circles is the word "Cents" in white Roman letters. Arising from each circle on the right and left is a scroll which lends support to the large circular medallion in the central portion of the stamp bearing the raised head and bust of Von Steuben modeled from a medal. In a send -circle along the upper edge or the central mfedalllon is the wording1 M1730 General Van Steuben 1930" In Ro man type. This stomp was first placed oil sale Sept. 17, 1930, at New York. N.

The most persistent report Is that Secretary Morgenthau will leave the treasury, possibly for some r choice diplomatic post In Europe. Those intimately acquainted with the secretary of quick to discount the idea. They say he Is happy where he Is, that lie has no desire to leave. One person who should know if anyone does, says that Morgenthau was oriered an ambassadorship- by the president Immediately after the election. He is said to have declined with thanks, declaring he preferred remain ' in Washington where things were happening rather than to be stuck awuy in some foreign country where he must rely on cables and the newspapers to keep up with the progress of the "new deal."
