It will not be issued until late in the fall, either OCTOBER or NOVEMBER About the price? We don't know what it will cost. We think it will be the same as the present one, but can't say as yet. Advance Sheets? Oh, Yes! They will begin to appear in July and each form will be mailed hot from the press. The price of these will be $5.00 for the Set-Post free Regarding Subscriptions The subscription price of SCOTT'S MONTHLY JOURNAL is $1.00 a year. (Note: In each copy of Scott's standard American catalogue for 1920 a coupon was included. Many of these coupons are still outstanding. One of these coupons, when properly filled out and returned to us, will entitle the reader to one year's subscription at half price. This offer, originally made to introduce the MONTHLY JOURNAL to the Scott clientele, will not be repeated in the coming 1922 catalogue.) All subscriptions begin with the issue current when the subscription is received, provided we have copies on hand. If the current issue is exhausted the subscription will start with next month's number. Back copies or single copies cannot be supplied. Articles Solicited Scott's wants articles written entertainingly and authoritatively about stamps and stamp collecting. Send in manuscripts. For every article which we accept for publication we will give in return a life subscription to SCOTT'S MONTHLY JOURNAL. What you write does not necessarily have to be technical in character. But if it is technical, that fact will not hurt the chance of it being accepted-providing you keep in mind that technicality and dryness are not synonymous. Put pep and punch into what you write; our readers want these qualities— and you want them in the articles written by others.

Luff ELGIUM: L' Echo de la Timbrologie has been shown by a correspondent a copy of the 15c of the Olympian games issue with the surcharge 20c inverted. The stamp is cancelled "Hombeek, 17-5-21." Hombeek is a small village near Malines. Our contemporary thinks it probable that a sheet with inverted surcharge was sent to this place and that the purchasers either did not notice the position of the surcharge GUATEMALA: CZECHO-SLOVAKIA: Here is an illustration of the way varieties sometimes occur. Our publishers recently purchased a large quantity of stamps surcharged "Posta-Ceskosloven Mr. A.

He also reports that he has recently had a strip of twenty (two rows of ten, we assume) of the 20c rose lilac and black of 1902 (No. 119) which was imperforate vertically. ska-1919," among which was a sheet of HONDURAS: The Economist Stamp Austria 1 krone carmine on yellow.
