The Post Office Department wants to substitute, a 4-cent stamp for use on first class mail. A 1 . - 1 If that happens. 3-centers will De plucked for the last time from the dark recesses of dainty handbags and ferreted from the worn folds of wallets and the dusty corners of office desks and home bureaus all over the letter-writing United States. No other denomination has a history as diversified as the 3 cent stamp, says the National Geographic Society. First Appeared in 1851 The first 3-center appeared in 1851, four years after the gov ernment started issuing adhes ive postage stamps. Brick red, it carried a profile of Washington designed from a bust by Houdon. From then until now, 3-cent stamps have provided more rev enue than any other denomina tion. In the fiscal year 1954 alone, 10,174,398,000 were run off, bring ing in some $300,000,000. Three regular issues (1938's Jefferson, 1952s NATO and 1954's Statue of Liberty) accounted for near ly 9,000,000,000. The 1938 stamp printed 16 years was probab bly the most used stamp on rec ord. The Liberty stamp came out in June, 1954, the first 3-cent issue inscribed with "In God We Trust." , The 3-cent stamps have com posed a gallery of leading Am ericans and a chronicle of epic events. At least 14 have honored Washington, fro mearly profiles through commemoratives mark ing his birthday bicentennial, the end of the Revolution, his first inauguration and the bat tle of Brooklyn. Washington's effigy appeared on a Mount Rushmore stamo and on the Washington and Lee University 200th anniversary commemorat ive in 1949. Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln and both Roosevelts have adorned the 3-cent stamp also William Penn, Webster and Generals Laf ayette, Sherman, Grant, Sheri dan, Goethals and Stephen W. Kearny. Still others were: Edgar Allen Poe, Luther Buibank, Victor Herbert, Augustus Saint-Gaud-ens, Al Smith, Edison, Joseph Pulitzer, George Washington Carver, Clara Barton, Juliette Low (Girl Scout leader), Will Rogers, Moina Michael (founder of the memorial poppy), Joel Chandler.

Out of the total of more than 175 regular and com memorative issues, blue, green, and maroon tinted fewer than 50. Some were brown, yellow, li lac, black, and gray. Commemoratives flourished in the 1930's and early 1940's un der Franklin D. Roosevelt, stamp-collecting president. The peak, however, was reached in 1948. with 27 new 3-cent stamps Issues memorialized Byrd'a second Antarctic trip, baseball's centennial, the Smithsonian In stitution's 100th anniversary dedication of Palomar Mountain observatory, the GAR's final en campment and state admissions to the union. This year two com- memoratives hail the Pennsyl vania Academy of- the Fine Art.i and the first land-grant colleges. Should 4-cent postage win ap proval, the Post Office could keep the 3centers design, mere ly changing the denomination. It could use the" 1951 lavender Lincoln 4-center or devise a whole new stamp. FRIGATE HAS LARGEST WINGS FOR HIS BODY Among birds, the frigate, or man-of-war, carries the longest wings for the size of the body. The narrow wings of an adult span seven feet, permitting ef fortless gliding, says the' Nat ional Geographic Society. Unlike many sea birds, the frigate lacks " waterproof plumage. To avoid water, adults dive-bomb flying fish or snatch prey from, the crest of a wave. Often they rob a booby on the wing, forcing it to drop its fish dinner and seiz ing the loot before it hits the water. TICKET COSTLY WOLF POINT, Mont. After the auto she was driving col lided with another, Patrolman Don Carpenter dutifully wrote out a traffic ticket, charging his wife with careless driving. The accident not only caused dam age to the Carpenter's late mod el automobile, but, adding insult to injury, Carpenter had to pay his wife's $10 fine after she pleaded guilty in court. J.
