Preparations are already being mud* for an international philatelic exhibition in London in 1'940, the centenary of the first British postage stamps associated with the name of Rowland Hill. There can be *little doubt, says an English journal, that the first adhesive stamps ■were made experimentally by James Chalmers in his printing office at Dundee in August, 1834. They were printed in ordinary 'ype and made ad- ! hesive by a wash of gum. Rowland Hill brought the adhesive stamp to rhe notice of the authorities on February 13, 1837. Chalmers made no public mention of his stamp of 1834 until November, 1837; he acknowledged Rowland Hill's priority of publication, but this does not weaken his claim to prior- > ity of invention The artist Mulready's famous allegorical cover, together with the first form of stamped letter paper, and the adhesive labels, which were (Inscribed by a dairy newspaper as "bits of sticking plaster for dabbing on ro letters," came into use on May 1, 1840. Although it is probable that Rowland Hill adopted rather than invented the adhesive stamp, he is still the father of the modern postal system. Recently, however, evidence has b"en unearthed suggesting that Greece rather than Great Britain produced the first postage sta-up nine years earlier than the penny black and the twopence blue. These Greek stamps, produced in the spring of 1831, •were exhibited at a recent meeting of the Royal Philatelic Society in London. Set up from ordinary printers' type in rectangular form and multiples of four, the denomination occupies the centre and the surrounding frame is composed of standard "pearl" ornaments., the whole heing enclosed by solid Mack rules. The crime sheet of England and Wales for 1932 contains evidence of a marked improvement in social habits. A total nt 13 SSB persons was dealt with lor drunkenness, as against 46,846 and 58,609 jn 1931 and 1930: the yearly average for the period of .1925-29 was 68,491 Assaults fell from an average of 29,000 m the same period to 26,001, 22,317, and 19 299 in the years 1930, 1931, and 1932; 725 cases of cruelty to children came before the courts in 1932, against 891 and 922 in 1931 and 1930. Offences, acamst the Education Acts totalled 7696 in 1932, compared with 9032 and. 11.071 in 1931 and 1930. Cases of malicious woundiug, assaults against females and other offences- against, the person ™nibered 5180 in 1932, an improvement on the biss and 5669 such cases in 1931 and 1930 re■pectively.
