PALESTINE FLIGHT Trans World Airline, which will

inaugurate air service to Lydda, P a l estine, and Bombay, India, on Janu­ary 5, announced today that its over seas offices will serve as agents for first-flight cover collectors In this country who wish souvenirs pf the initial mail-carrying flight.

The TWA announcement followed word from the United States Post Office Department that philatelic service would be provided covers car­ried on the first flight, scheduled to depart from Washington, Philadel­phia, New York and Boston on Janu­ary 5.

All collectors who do not have their own agents, TWA air mail offi­cials said, may address covers to themselves in care of the station manager, Trans World Airline, at either Lydda Airport, Lydda, Pales­tine, or Santa Crais Airport, Bom­bay, India. Each cover must carry in the upper left corner the full re­turn address of the sender so that TWA can handle them without de­lay.

Covers sent in care of TWA need bear only the postage necessary for the first flight; they will be returned at the air line's expense. The present foreign postage rate of 25 cents a half ounce will apply to the new service to both countries. Since TWA's service is gratuitous, the air line cannot be responsible for loss or damage of covers from causes be­yond its control.

Collectors should send covers bear­ing the correct postage and addressed for delivery in either Palestine or India, to the postmasters at one of the four cities from which the first flight will depart. A request that the covers be sent by the first flight should be inclosed.

shooting, take another look at those old standbys the first morning we have snow and sun together.

The street corner that is dingy and gray and commonplace takes on new glamour, either while the snow is falling or soon after the storm is over. The dinginess comes back fast as the sooty dust covers the white blanket, but if you get the shot while it's still white, it is a totally different scene. The things and people we see every morning on the way to work are new and attractive sub jects for our cameras and a whole new vista is opened to us.

Those late afternoon and dusk shots have a new excitement too. On New Year's Day we tried our hand at the endless line of Christmas trees on Park avenue. It was snowing and we were a title too late to get the balance between the trees' light and the daylight on the buildings, but the negatives look excellent. Start about 4:30 P. M. and find a van­tage point that will let you in­clude the line running out of the picture over one of the avenue's inclines. The corner of 67th street is one possibility and a parked car will serve as a camera sup­port when the exposures get longer with the failing daylight. Perhaps the top camera position would be a window in the New York Central building astride the avenue at 46th street. Negatives made at 5:05 P. M. in the falling snow look satisfactory with an exposure of ten seconds at f/5.6 on Super XX, and at 4:30 P. M. the exposure might be as little as Va second at f/8.

We haven't tried the tree in Rockefeller Plaza yet, but the best time for most of us is as early as possible after the ultra­violet lights are turned on. The exposure may be less than you'd think because of the great sen­sitivity of our fast films to blue light, but try several different exposures. And take your camera with you all the time these days. There are pictures all around.

STAMP SALES Effects of the two-week holiday

period will be sloughed off next week with a pent-up vigor. Several firms have been forced to curtail their auction program and now are bent on making up for the lost time, while other companies which held sales more or less on a schedule are taking the earliest possible dates to catch up.

There are, for example, three sales opening Monday in New York. Four sessions are slated for Tuesday and Wednesday, and two for Thursday, one Friday and two Saturday.

J. C. Morgenthau A- Co., Inc. (Don aid d*Amato, auctioneer,) will offer general foreign and United States Monday through Thursday. The for­eign opens the 2,500-lot sale, running alphabetically. During the first day the strength lies in Austria, Belgium and Ceylon, while the second session has the best representation In France, Germany and Great Britain

On Wednesday Mexico is unusually well represented, along with New South Wales, Portugal and Colonies Queensland and Russia. The final day stresses Spain, rare Swiss, Tus­cany, two Sicilies, Uruguay and Wurttemberg, plus larger lots.

H. R. Harmer will have a three, day sale starting Monday. The first day is given over to United States and Possessions and British Empire, the second to air mails, and the third to general foreign. This sale includes several collections offered as a unit.

Between Monday and Thursday Vahan Mosian, Inc. (G. Mozian, auctioneer) will sell just short of 2,500 lots of United States, general foreign and collections. One of the high spots is a set of full sheets of the Famous American issue.

Harmer, Rooke *Y Co. is to sell the Jean Blum United States collection Tuesday and Wednesday, a magnifi­cent group with the sa-called "Spe­cial Printings" almost complete, many blocks, air mails and depart­ments.

On Friday and Saturday the Cos­mos Stamp Company (G. Mozian, auctioneer) will offer a grouping of United States and foreign stamps.

There will also be a sale held by Paul Bluss next Saturday, with United States and foreign sets, col­lections and philatelic literature, and throughout the week Stampazine will, as usual, close six books per day with wide diversification.

For Collectors As a service to collectors, the

Philatelic Agency of the Swiss Post Office provides what is known as a

Leaflet" for collectors, made of coated art paper and bearing can­cellations of health and holiday re­sorts. At present forty-five such leaflets have appeared, available at 23Fr.80 per set, covering the face value of the stamps plus 20c. apiece for handling.

Collectors may benefit from this service by the subscription of a lFr. fee and suitable money deposit. Arrangements are handled by the Philatelic Agency, Direction General des PTT, Berne, Switzerland.

Venus, the peerless morning star, about whose beauty we continue to receive exclamatory notes, still rises three and a half hours before the sun and is high in the east at 6 o'clock. Though it has begun to lose brilliance slightly, the change is scarcely noticeable.

Jupiter, companion of Venus in recent weeks, has begun to draw away. By January 13 it will be rising a full hour ahead of Venus, and by January 28 the gap will have increased to two hours. In early March Jupiter will be coming up at .midnight, while Venus will have dropped back considerably toward the sun, rising only two and a quar­ter hours before the big luminary.

Pew persons who have tried on the clearest days to keep Venus in sight after sunrise have tailed to do so. Some used binoculars to locate the planet; then, having fixed its position in the bright sky, discarded the glasses and saw it with the naked eye. Ray­mond B. Talbott of Stamford, Conn., employed this method on December 22, but. the next day, at 7:50 A. M., he was equally successful with no glasses at all.

William Bartling of Bayonne, N. J., watched Venus with the unaided eye on the morning of December 20 until 8 o'clock, and on December 23 until about the same hour. Edward Bartling, his brother, saw the planet as late as 8:57 o'clock on December 23. He reports that a chimney on a neighbor's house helped him con­siderably by hiding the sun.

On December 22 C. C. Joubert of Forest Hills, Queens, kept the planet in view for a quarter of an hour after the sun had ap­peared. On the same morning Miss Mary Kaminski of Maspeth, Queens, watched Venus until 7:30 A. M. The next morninp; she extended the time by fifteen minutes. She wonders if it is possible to see Venus as late as 0 o'clock, when the sun is high and very bright. Edward Bart-ling's observation shows that it U possible when *he sky is un­usually transparent.

Another report c o m e s from H. H. Nordlinger, who lives in an apartment facing eastward over Central Park. He followed the morning star until i.Si OCIOCK onilV(me (r) Aawtis'i iam« D e c e m b e r 22 and until 7:46 BTACK-H. n WEST *S o'clock on December 23.

The earth is in perihelion to­day, nearer the sun than at any other time of the year. The dis

ellipses, mostly of low eccen­tricity. The path of Venus comes closest to the circular form; Nep­tune's is next and the earth's third. Pluto, Mercury and Mars, in that order, have the most ec­centric orbits.

The comparative nearness of the sun during the northern win­ter makes it appear a bit larger than at the opposite season. One result of this is that total eclipses of the sun occur more frequently in summer than in winter. Often in winter the sun's disk is too large to be entirely covered by the moon. But the moon's dis­tance varies also, so when the lunar globe is nearest the earth (in perigee) it bulks large enough to hide even a winter sun.

At the recent meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Boston there was considerable discussion of the never-ending "creation" of stars like the sun by condensation of tenuous clouds of interstellar matter. This matter is believed to be about equal in mass to all the stars of the galaxy. It consists of widely scattered atoms, mole­cules and dust-like particles. A good idea of its tenuosity may be obtained by imagining an ordi­nary boy's marble pulverized and spread evenly throughout sphere of space 1,000 miles In diameter.
