Abstract
"More than 22,000,000 Panama Pacific Exposition stamps have been destroyed in the bureau of engraving and printing because some official in the third assistant general's office did not know the difference between the Gatun and San Pedro Miguel locks of the big ditch. It was discovered two days ago that the entire issue bearing the impressive picture of the Panama canal locks which follows closely the recent etching by the artist, Joseph Pennell, was labeled 'The Gatun Locks.'"
