Geography In Stamps _ _ ' "_:__- I i L. li1?_ , TANNOU TOUVA For several years past the phila telic market has been Hooded by a series of beautiful and spectacular stamp Issues purporting to be the postal emissions of the seml-auton omous Soviet Republic of Tannou Touva. Formerly a part of Outer Mongolia tills area now is domi nated by Soviet Russia and all of Its stamps have been prepared in Moscow. Recently much doubt has been cast on the authenticity of these stamps and a determined effort has been made to ascertain If Tan aou Touva really has a postal sys tem. In a recent issue of ‘‘Stamps" the subject has been treated at some length by A. Eugene Michel jrho, to date, has been unable to obtain any direct communication with the Postal Administration of Tannou Touva. Apparently all of the stamps of this republic have been sold through the Soviet Phila telic Bureau in Moscow, and every attempt to contact directly the pos tal authorities in Kizil, the capital of Tannou Touva, has ended In complete failure. Until the cloud of doubt that now hangs over these Tannou Touva stamps has been removed by more specific information it is sug gested that stamp collectors ref, a n from any additional expendlti s for them and devote their time i 1 attention to emissions from Cas tries tl'at use at least a consider able proportion of the r stamps for legitimate postal purposes.

However, her husband presumed that it was ; a “nightmare.” But last week the ! dream really came true, for she related how she, on boarding a street car, found her savings had disappeared from her purse—and so had two women “friends” whom she had just met an hour before. “I was standing in front of a store on Main street when an in telligent-looking fair-skinned wo man walked up to me,” Mrs. In gram said. “On explaining she was a stranger from Knoxville, she inquired about another store to which she wanted to go.

Mart’n Marquez, an employee at the Beech-Nut Build ing at the New York World’s Fair, who resides at 125 West 121st Street, New York City, is one of these. He started his career as a soldier when at the age of thir teen, he enlisted in the eighth British West Indian Regiment at Trinidad and sailed away too war. At present, he is enrolled in the pro-medical course at New York University and plans to Continue his medical studies. His brother, Dr. Cecil Marquez, is assistant vi siting pediatrician for the Depart mene of Hospitals, New York Ci tjl. It was in Trinidad, B.W.I., in 1917, that Martin a lad of thir teen, was easily persuaded by Jack Henry, a seventeen-year-old friend to join the army and go to war. Martin's first long pants were those he borrowed from his friend, so that he would look older. He gave his age as e’ghteen, and be cause he was a big boy for his age and had the required chest meas urement, he was able to enlist. “My parents tried to get me re leased”, he tells in this adventure story, “but I sailed before any ac tion could he taken and arrived in Brest France o n Christmas Day.’’ After six months on the firing lines at the Belgian front, where he had many terrifying experiences he was recognized by an officer who had been his teacher in gram mar school in Trinidad. “The teacher was alarmed at see ing me at the front, because he kenw I was far from eighteen years old, so he made me send for my birth certificate, which was turnd over to the war offices,’’ Martin said. “Then, I was sent to England, to be detained there un til I should come of age, in the event that the war should last that long. It didn’t, however, so after the Armistice, I was repartri. ated.’’ But though Martin was an ad ventureous youth, he also had a j aim in life and was anxious to come to the United States to con tinue his education. In Trinidad he had attended St. Mary’s College and Queens Royal College. After being in Trinidad only two months after the war, Martin Mar quez took the $180 that he had earned as a soldied and set out for this country. “I had heard of Harlem’’, Mar tin related, “so I told the cus toms inspectors I had an uncle there. As soon as I got to New York, I asked the way to Harlem and once there, I found the West Indian settlement, where I was ta ken in and “shown the ropes.’’ Martin’s finst job was an ele vator operator in an apartment house; this job was held for four years. After that, he went int® the taxi business for himself, a job which lasted until the crash came. “That ruined my badness” he said. He worked until 1936 with Rex Cole, Inc., and from then on has done various jobs. Martin Marquez was followed to this country by his mother and later by his brother, Cecil Mar quez, to whom Martin gave finan cial assistance so he could get the necessary training to become a physician. In 1932, Martin star ted school again, attending Harlem Evening high school and continu ing his studies where he left off in Trinidad. His brother Cecil, wb® i; now firmly established, is assis ting Martin to finish his medical education. In 1928 Martin married a New York girl, the former Daphne Wil son, niece of the well known Dr: James L. Wilson of Harlem. Mrs. Marquez, who is a graduate of Hunter College, is employed as a stenographer by the City of New York in the Bureau of Fire Pre vent:on. When asked whether his exper ience in the war made much of an impression on him, Martin ans wers with a definite “yes”. “I would never advise a young fellow to do as I have done. I would go to war again only if the democracy of this country were threatened.." -oOo— Washington, Aug. 17 (CNA)— Thousands of additional workers in private industry are due to lose their jobs unless the work week is greatly shortened or production is greatly increased, WPA offi cials warned in a study made pub lic this week. —_ -oO® By KORAC IN ANOTHER WORLD When Leo awoke, he was amaze# to find himself tied securely to a lavishly decorated wooden bed. Upon surveying the bedroom, he vas even more surprised to see that the height of the room was at least thirty feet. To the extreme left of the huge bed were Cyclopean doors—richly carved with figure* of the sun and smaller designs In cluding the sea; the moon; thunder and lightning and other Image* which were Indiscernible to Zaner.' The great room, however, was bar* except for that mighty bed and * few small carvings which appeared near the great portals and alBO on the wall In the form of Images. ; When Recards finally awoke, Led laughed outright when he saw tb* look of awe on his friend's face.

"You don’t have to pinch me. Zaner," Recards muttered dazedly. “These ropes attached to my body Bure mean business In any man'* language." ’ “Well," the young explorer spoke “It looks like our tough Indiaa visitor came back to see us wltt Borne of bis friends." Recards didn’t say a word; b* was gazing thoughtfully at tb* carved Images. Suddenly he yelled throatily: “Leo—what did I tell you...!" “Quiet,’* warned Leo playfully, "You almost woke me up.” “Quiet yourself," stormed Ree^ •rds genially. “Do you know wber* we are?” “It will take more than thre* guesses on my part," answered tb* young hunter. “Well, where ar* i “We're In the land of the JncasT** "I’ll believe anything now," said Zaner" “but...” ^ ■ Before the youthful adventurer, could finish his sentence, tlie teay^' doors opened slowly from the out* Ridel ■* NEURITIS RELIEVE PAIN IN FEW MINUTES To relieve the torturing pain of NewHt*.
