Colt Gun Can
Anywhere in
The value of the Colt revolver
was so quickly and universally
recognized back in the 1350s
that even the Turkish govern
ment ordered them for its navy.
Hence one is likely to run into
them anywhere in the world.
And yet, for me, it is always
something of a shock to run into
an old one outside of the United
States. Even in Mexico.
A case in point is one that oc
curred at a small cantina near
La Paz, in Baja, Calif. A Mexi
can rancher had a six-gun on
his hip that immediately caught
my eye.
The ivory grips sticking out
of the holster were ornated with
tlie beautiful eagle and serpent

He was quite happy to exhibit
ie weapon. It was a .36 calibre,
angle action gun with a seven-and-a-half
inch, octagonal bar

Colonists Revenue Stamp No Cause
The yellowed piece of paper
Charles was examining mea
sured about nine by six inches.
It was a bill of lading made
out for some furniture that had
been shipped from London to
Boston in the year 1756, 20 years
before the American Revolu
tion. "It's a particularly good ex
ample of the stamp," said
Charles, pointing to what looked
like a modern corporation seal
in the low righthand corner of
the document.
He was quite right. The stamp
.was a clear embossment of the
paper. So clear that it made me
suspicious. The ink of the writ
ing had faded to a brown that
was not so very easily distin
guishable from the paper. One
would think that in the course
of two centuries the embossment
would have flattened out con
siderably, too. I said so.
Charles shook his head. "An
embossment is actually a break
ing of the paper tissues," he said.
"They can't go back together
again. And besides, I have al
ready checked with an authen
tic copy and it stands up."
The design of the stamp con
sisted of a circle around the out
A'most Any Si?all. Covered Wooden Box Has Some Value
Almost any kind of a well
made, small, covered wooden
box whether or not with draws
in it, but in good condition, is
bound to have some value. And
many of them have considerable
value.
One reason is that they are
convenient for storing things.
But more important, though less
obvious, is that they have long
been regarded so. And therefore,
if you happen to come across an
old one, it is well to know that
you may have found a rare and
valuable antique.
A discovery of that kind may
take place anywhere. A musician
I know wanted a box for storing
sheet music. But he didn't want
just any old box. He wanted it
to be sturdy, of dark wood and
cheap in price.
It took three or four months
before he found what he wanted,
and when he did, its cost was
only 52. The bcx was shallow,
strong, of dark brown wood,
and it measured 26 inches by
14 by 5.
Though strongly and even
solidly constructed, the box was
rather light in weight. For one
thing, there weren't any nails in

The barrel was also marked
"Address Col. Sam'l Colt, New
York, U. S. America."
But other than the engraving
which looked surprisingly
fresh, by the way and the gold
and ivory grips, there was no
ornamentation. The trigger
guard, for example, which is
usually dressed up on a presenta
tion piece, was of simple brass
without a suggestion of engrav
ing. Evidently the weapon was
just a stock model whose owner
had decided to change the grips
'for some reason.
I asked its owner, a Sr. Man
uel Ortiz, if that were so. He
laughed. He had inherited the
revolver from his father. It had
saved his life ten years before
he wouldn't say how and so he
had the grips made, out of grati
tude, by a Mexico City artist.
"I used to be offered any
where from S150 to $300," he
said, "but since I put the grips
on, at a cost of about $250 in
your money, I've been offered
as high as $1000.

er edge of which were the words
STAPLE OF THE MASSACHU
SETTS. Inside the circle was
the replica of a codfish above
the legend II PENCE.
"It would be easy to counter
feit," I said.
"But not worth it," Charles
replied. "This is the kind of a
revenue stamp the colonists
eventually revolted about. You
know taxation without represen
tation. And though they are
getting more valuable, this isn't
worth but $10, and it's one of
the best."
"Why are you so Interested
then?" I asked. "Why did you
bother to buy it?"
Charles grinned. "That's what
I was wondering myself. I gave
the full catalogue value of $10
for it. As an act of charity. But
it occurs to me now that there
might be some descendants of
the Fletcher to whom the bill of
lading is made out. Maybe they
might want it.'' -"
'It 'took him about 15 letters
over a three-month period, plus
two trips to a genealogical so
ciety to prove his hunch was
right.' The bill of lading finally
brought him $125.
it For another, there was con
siderable carving around the
sides and on the top, which had
lightened the piece without de
tracting from its strength.
The designs were simple, not
ornate at all, which is one rea
son, probably, why the piece
went at its ridiculously low
price. They consisted merely of
a series of mayflowers about
the sides, and a single draped
garland of arbutus across the
top.
In fact, the carving was so un
obtrusively done that my mus
ician friend had had the piece
for a coupe of months -before
he discovered that in each of
four well separated blossoms
along the front was a numeral.
They were 1, 7, 4, 3, in that
order. v
The date was not conclusive
evidence of age, of course, but
it was in keeping with the gen
eral tone of the piece.
At least, some one else thought
so. For within a year my friend
was finally tempted to part with
the box, overwhelmed by an
offer of $250.

Jordan Rioters Answer
Of Coin To
London U.R) In Jordan you
can hire rioters like casual labor
ers. Most of them come from the
crowded refugee camps of Am
man, Jericho and J e r usalem,
where nearly 500,000 homeless
victims of the 1948 Palestine war
live in bitterness and hatred.
They are the "angry young
men" of the Middle East.
- At the clink of a coin they
will come pouring out of the
ramshackle camps where they
live on 9 cents worth of food a
day to riot, pillage and burn
for anyone who pays them.
Power Behind Movement
Today they are the power
behind the powerful nationalist
movement in Jordan which
wants to curb the power of the
king and align Jordan with
Egypt and Syria in a "neutra
list," anti-Western federation.
The last time they came out
in force was on Jan. 7, 1956,
when approximately 5,000, in
cluding school children, poured
into Amman's streets to demon
strate against the proposal that
Jordan should join the Bagh
dad Pact.
The last foray caused the
downfall of the Jordan govern
ment, a general strike, and. the
burning of a U.S. embassy car
and U.S. mission offices. -Vails
of Jericho
In Jericho, they burned United
Nations relief offices and had to
be put down by troops. -
Martial law and a curfew were
imposed in Amman, but-Jordan
stayed out of the Baghdad Pact.
After the January riots the
U.S. embassy, which stands on a
hill overlooking the city, began
erecting a high wall to protect it
from flying rocks and bullets.
The post office, which stands
in the center of town near the
government building, also has
been heavily sandbagged and
provided with steel shutters.
It is in the middle of the
normal riot area on the road
which leads to foreign embassies
and legations.
It is also near the entrance to
the bazaar quarter where, over

Many of the go-betweens and
troublemakers are Communists
wi.ich explains the rash of
anti-Eisenhower doctrine slogans
in the newest riots, although the
question of whether Jordan will
subscribe to the doctrine is a
relative side issue in the struggle
for power between the mobs and
the palace.
If there is rioting in Amman,
there is almost certainly more
rioting in Jericho and Jerusalem.
Road Closed
The dusty road from Amman
to Jerusalem, which normally a
traveler covers in a brand-new
American taxicab with a beard
ed Arab or an Arab legionnaire
in ' a flowing red-and-white
checkered khafiehy (headdress),
already has been closed.
It is a road that winds and
dips from Amman's seven hills
down almost to the level of the
Dead Sea near Jericho, and then
climbs steeply again to the div
ided city of Jerusalem.
On the way, you will see the
black tents of the bedouin tribes

As they grace their flocks on
the parched limestone hills they
look like some peaceful scene
from the Bible, but they are the
warriors who made the Arab
Legion now renamed the Jor
dan army the finest Arab fight
ing force in the Middle East.
For years they have been wait
ing for a showdown with the
Amman mobs and this time they
may get it.
Jn a country where a Com
munist can stand for election in
Bethlehem as an independent
Christian and win t here is
cause to dust off the old cliche
that "anything may happen."

Farmers Reminded of
Fair Labor Standards
Employment of children un
der 16 years of age in farm work
during local school hours is pro
hibited by the Federal Fair La
bor Standards act, U. S. depart
ment of labor officials reminded
farmers Saturday.
It was pointed out, however,
that this provision does not ap
ply to the farmer's own children
working on their parents' farm,
or to children working for a
farmer selling to dealers who
market exclusively within the
same state.
Officials cautioned that the
act applies to a farmer whether
he ships his products out of the
state himself or delivers them to
a warehouse or wholesale deal
er who does the actual shipping.
Violators face the possibility of
having interstate shipment of
their products halted by a fed
eral court order. .There also are
criminal penalties for wilful vio
lators. ' ' '
