28 AMATEUR CORRESPONDENT place it slightly below where it is to be in the album, slightly slide it up to the center of its proper place, and press down firmly. (Now, you "dyed-in-the-wool" collectors, please lay off! I know there must be more and better ways of doing this; but, heck, the fellows and gals have to learn somehow!) Stamp tongs are not essential, but considering their nominal cost and the convenience of having them, they are well worth owning; also, one might otherwise ruin the more valuable stamps by trying to handle them with the fingers. The reason for this is that one's fingers become warm and discolor or soil the stamps. Then, too, you may bend or tear the perforations on the edges. I say "on the edges", for I previously mentioned perforations in the shape of initials in the stamp itself. Start with a fairly large album---but not too large. An enormous album might soon discourage the beginner, because even after mounting thousands of stamps, it appears pratically empty. Too small an album also has its "faults", so to speak. It soon becomes full or bulging; then, the task of removing and remounting the stamps in another and larger album is at hand. Loose-leaf albums are of course better in many respects. And one need not spend much on the cover until a sizable collection has been effected. Nice pages, though, I believe are an investment from the start, They may be purchased either with names of countries already printed n them, with the space blank for you to add the names of the countries, or, as is popular with many collectors, with a border and a faint quadrille background. Well, fellows, my space is used up for this time---so I'll be seeing you next issue. Tel. Nu-2-3281 TINY TOT magazine 12 copies go to each person who submits a story for publication. GORDON PIHL 9 Clay St. Delawanna, N. J. Too Late for Classification Have copy of newspaper, "Newark Advertiser", for April 23, 1898, with headlines, "McKinley Calls for 125,000 Men". Also copy of "New York Journal" for April 26, 1898, headlines, "Dewey Preparing for Naval Battle at Manila". Both copies are very rare and are in excellent condition. Make offer. F. S.
