, 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.

her husband presumed that it was

! 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. I took
her there myself and we met ano

“But these two women seeming

MARTIN MARQUEZ
The World of Tomorrow is full
of interesting people—people who
have done things; who have seen
things; who have vision to look
to the future. 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.."

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 *

caid. “Or shall I pinch you i to
make sure that this is reality?"
"You don’t have to pinch me.

“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^

we are?”
