Lebanese Stamp Commemorates Massacre A friend and I were argu ing over domestic politics when his 12-year-old son. in troduced a foreign note. "Look," he said. "I just got a set of Lebanon stamps in a swap. His father looked briefly at the 27 stamps arranged in a cellophane frame. "Well," he said, "so one of these memorializes the city of Deir-el-Kamar. That's where the Druse killed several thou sand of the 14,000 Christians they massacred in 1860." The boy and I listened to the story of how arms were shipped into Lebanon in 1858 and how the French, British and American consuls plead ed for intervention to fore stall the massacre that came in 1860. , I asked to see the boy's stamps. The series was one put out in 1930 to commemo-. rate the Sericultural Congress in Beirut. The youngster wanted to know what seri cultural meant, ana I told him it had to do with silk worm raising. Lebanon is an important silk producing country. "Did you get a good swap on the stamps," I asked. The boy nodded. They had a catalogue value of about $11, but those which he had given were listed at only $9. 1ST EDITION KEATS' LETTERS FOUND IN BOOKSHOP One of the more valuable The book, which is dated in first editions of John Keats, Roman numerals, was issued famnne ITnc-licV Aot nU died in 1821, to .book of a binding of pale blue cloth prose that was first published wlth the tltle lettered in gold 57 years after the author's across the back, death. , The pages-there are 196 in It is entitled "Letters of all, 68 of them being given John Keats to Fanny Brawne" to the introduction-were un and was privately printed in . . . . .

SIMPLE WHEAT DESIGN CLASS GOAL OF COLLECTORS Antarctic Experiences Related in CW Session Expieriences on an Antarc tic exploration were reviewed at the Veterans administra tion Domiciliary Wednesday in a special event arranged by the American Red Cross. Archie Pierce, of the Tuc ker Sno Cat corporation, Med ford, related his experiences in a talk, accompanying mo tion pictures of the Navy ex pedition as part of the Inter national Geophysical Year. Not the least of the trials was the Sno Cat, which stood every test in the tranarctic trek of the British explorer Dr. Vivian Fuchs. It was on display at the theater during the day and considerable in terest was shown in the 'spe cially built mechanism for rid ing the frozen wastes of the South Pole region. Introduces Speaker "Bud" Ash, of special ser vices, who operated snow tractors ia the snow measure ment work of the soil con servation service, introduced the speaker. He pointed out three features of Sno Cats that adapt them for this use. One is the equalization of weight to a little over half a pound per square inch. The frame is made of aluminum to lighten weight and front and rear wheels are powered and geared for turning. England, France and Bel gium in addition to the United States operate Sno Cats in the anarctic, Pierce stated. Spe cial electronic and other equipment is added, he said. One scientific fact which has been discovered is that the South Pole is the coldest spot on earth, with a mini mum temperature of 104 de grees below zero. Other in teresting points related by the speaker were that the con tinent, larger than the United States, is 92 per cent snow, which in some instances is two miles deep. There is no life except pen guins in the interior. The chief danger is that of falling into a crevasse. Metal do not rust because of atmospheric conditions. Grange News Phoenix Grange .

MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdferd, Oregon, Sunday, October 26, 195 31 Titan among the earth's ro dents is the South American capybara, which resembles a king-size guinea pig. An adult male may measure four feet in length and weigh more than 100 pounds. Despite its size, the capybara is a gentle creature with many enemies. It lives along streams and makes its escape by swimming. From Japan comes an in vention that permits the printed page to talk. The back of the paper is treated like magnetic tape and the sound prerecorded. When a repro ducing head is passed over each word the word is heard. Mt. Chocorua, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire is said to be the most photo graphed mountain in America. Make Your Cash Count More! . . . BUY AT . . .

Use Tribune Want Ads Among the easily recog nized types of collected pressed glass is one known as the wheat pattern. It is also among the more valuable. . The design consists of noth ing more than a three-sided shield device, flat along the top, the other two sides ta pering down to a point. With in the shield is the unmistak able facsimile of a head of wheat. Usually this design is only found on opaque white glass, but occasionally one comes across it in clear glass, and there may be still other colors. What firm produced it I have been unable to find, but it was probably manufac tured during the 1870s and '80s. The most valuable among the more commonly found pieces with this design are the pitcher and goblets. On one occasion I had the chance to. purchase the pitcher at $15 and four goblets at $6 each. Unfortunately I thought them too high. In the past four years I have never seen the pitcher at less than $45, while the price of the goblets has ranged from $15 to $25 each, Probably the rarest piece in which thisdesign appears is the dinner plate. I saw a single one of 10-inch size two years ago, but failed to buy it when the owner asked a price of $35. Last year I saw four of them sold for $1100, the seller later concluding that he should have asked at least twice as much. Though I have never seen it, I have heard for a few pieces in this design in green. Whoever has any of this glass in any color other than white should certainly ask afa least half again as much, ana- even more if it is in one of the com monly found shapes such as a sauce dish or spoonholder. The fact it is so widely col lected should assure the own er of a ready market.
