The youthful owner shoved them O forward acfoss the desk. "I don't find them listed." he said. "How much should I get for them?" The stamps were what is known as the World War I Vic tory issue. They were a red violet in color and printed in the millions. "You must have misread the Oataloirue, I said, reaching for my copy of Scott's. "I don't tjnink so," the young fellow replied. Well, it was my memory that was at fault. I was thinking of the violet colored, three-cent Victory denomination. They are found fairly often in used blocks of four, and their value is minor, not generally over $4.

I am 19 and have fceen married only a few months, but I am already in trouble with my mother-in-law. It's really all my husband's fault. Shortly after we were mar ried, Tom told lye he felt his parents babied his kid sister too much and he asked me to take her under my wing. Penny is 16, but hasn't gone out much and doesn't know how to dress or act to suit her age. I took Penny shopping one day, but her mother then sent back all the clothes we had bought together. She said they were unsuitable. Then I took Penny to a play she seemed to njoy and understand, but later my mother-in-law called Tom and tolsjhim that I had no sense to take a "little girl" to an ob jectionable play. I saw nothing rong with the play. I want to have good relations with my in-laws and I feel Tom Sight to explain to his mother that it was all his fault. Tom G.

In other words, they are rare. I started to point that out to the owner, but he cut me short "I know that," he said, "but I'd like to raise money on these now in a hurry. How can I go bout it?" The best advice I could give for immediate results was to call on four collectors and see what they had to say. Obvious ly the block -was worth more than S70. The thing to do would be ask ten times as much and work down. . And that's what he did. The third prospect paid him S215 for it. MfcMBER THE MAINE. The tumblers, produced by the v s Glass Co of Pittsburgh, were collector's items, I got one within a week for $18 and was lucky at that. Two other places had been holding out for $25. (Released by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) these things tactfully. I know my mother is too strict with Penny and I fell she's going to make things very hard for her. Mother would be furious with me if I let on that I put Caroline up to the whole thing. I have tried to have this thing out with my mother before, but she told me she knows better than I do what is best for Penny. I feel that Caroline should have had more sense than to take Penny to a play my mother would con sider objectionable. I think the best way out of this thing is for Caroline to apol ogize to Mom and then forget this whole business with Penny. If she can't manage to help her without antagonizing my moth er, the plan is hopeless from the beginning. I am very much dis appointed. ' The Council Tom placed a most unfair burden on his young bride. A much older, more ex perienced woman could hardly handle this affair tactfully, but probably would have had the wisdom to shun the task from the start. Tom, also, is taking too much upon himself. He was right to tell his mother how he felt about the way she treats Penny, but his responsibility ended there. He had no right to try to under mine his mother's influence with her child. It takes onlv a little imagination for him to see how 1 Your 2 Thr 3 Ou 4 Lttle 5 Become Donl 7 Tofcs- 8 0oftw 9 More 10 Helps 31 h 32 Veer 33 A 34 Today 35 Consul 36 Your 37 Those 38 Who - 39 Aoy MAY 22 JUNE 22 40 From 41 Keep 42 Be 43 Col li UnyieloVa 45 Who 46 Friend 17 Your 48 Con 49 Plans 50 Good 51 Do 52 Avoid 53 Look 54 A 55 Go" 56 F lottery 57 Too 58 Al 59 Potential 60 Help )AoVh k539aQ-81-8?l I 12 Vow 13 O' 14 Steer 15 Day 16 Ctaor 17 To IS See 19 People 20 0 21 A 22 Ym 23 To 24 D'Hererces 25 Determined 26 O 27 Morure 28 Opinion 29 Realistic 30 Tate 54-59-4 '69-77-7? 84 uo L JULY I!

OAK GROVE SCHOOL The Oak Grove School library has recently been completely re- he would feel if an outsider tried to do the same with a child of his. Caroline is trying hard to please both her husband and his family, but she should learn dis cretion rather than blind obedi ence. She should have thought through the inevitable results of her getting involved in this af fair. There is little to be gained in Tom's explaining to his mother that "it was all his fault." Caro line will still" remain directly responsible. She should, there fore, simply explain to her mother-in-law that she did not realize the play would be objectionable and that in the future she will get the mother's approval before she takes Penny anywhere.
