War,” which will open Thursday for a three-day engagement at the Strand. At a private screening of “The First Worid War,” I saw the real horrors of the many ways of fighting. There are no actors in this movie. They lived or died. Death, accomplished in many ways, is shown in these records of fighting. Kings and leaders decorate their fighting men. Even the dead are decorated in a formal ceremony covering hundreds and thousands of men. There is fighting in the air, on the seas and under the water. There are men fighting on the land. Death is every place. These are the things that “The First World War” reflects on the screen. From a standpoint of knowledge these reels are tremendous. Often these scenes hurt. The truth is here. Men are actually killed—thousands in blasts of munition. The pictures this paper published and the action in this movie are the most terrific indictments against war I ever have witnessed. Here is more than a movie. To see this film of war in action is to witness a million deaths. There are no fake deaths. “The First World War” will open Thursday at the Strand. 00 In the Theaters Apollo—Paul Muni and Bette Davis in “Bordertown.” Short Reels. Loew’s Palace—Lionel Barrymore, W.

$30,000 ASKED BY JIM'S ‘PAL’ FOR 50STAMPS -Friend of Farley’s Offered $22,000 for Block of Rarities. B '/ Scripps-Hoicnrrl Sercspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—An offer of $22,000 was reported today to have been made for a block of 50 Mother's Day stamps given by Postmaster General James A. Farley to a friend. The owner was said to be holding out for $30,000. When the Mother’s Day stamps were first issued Mr. Farley distributed to friends and associates a number of sheets that had not been perforated or gummed and hence were rarities. He paid the face value of 3 cents a stamp.

The Postmaster General’s generosity has antagonized collectors throughout the country. Rep. Millard (R., N. Y.), plans to demand a congressional investigation. Secretary Harold L. Ickes has been given a complete set of the 10 national park issues, ungummed and imperforate, and collectors say these have a potential value of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The President, Mrs. Roosevelt, Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, and the Farley children have received other issues. A demand was spreading among collectors today that the Post Office Department be compelled to issue 1000 or more sheets identical with the gift sheets, offer them for general sale to collectors at face value and thus destroy the value of the "Farley issue.” Mr. Farley declines to discuss the matter. There is some talk of his being asked by the House Post Office Committee to present an inventory of all the stamps he has distributed, with the recipients’ names. The sums which stamps with rare imperfections can command are illustrated by an air mail *ssue that came out about 1917. The first few sheets sold -were imperfect an airplane in the center of the stamp was upside down. As soon as this was discovered the sheets were withdrawn from sale. But some had got out. In 1929 a single one of these stamps was sold at auction for $3200.

Bn Times Special KOKOMO. Jan. 29.—Ruling that inheritance tax on an estate is due from the moment of the testator's death, made by Circuit Judge Joseph Herron, may be contested. Ruling of the court is opposed by counsel for Milton M. Cook, executor of the will of John E. Palethorpe, with the contention that the tax is not and ie until the amount has* been fixed by a court.

Judge Herron held 6 per cent interest should be paid from the date of Mr. Palethorpe's death on May 19, 1931, until July 27, 1933. when the amount of tax was fixed. From the last named date until the tax is paid, interest of 10 per cent is to v be charged, the court ruled.
