ATLANTIC AIR MAIL STAMPS
YANKEE CLIPPER
ISSUE
A special 30 cent stamp. has been prepared by the United States Post Office. Department for the mall carried on the first flight of the regular transatlantic Air mail service.
Blue In colour, it conforms in size and design to the 6 cent domestic air mall-stamp of 1934, which shows a winged globe in- sertbed "US. Air Mail except that, the new 30 cent denomina. tion has the further inscription: **Trans-Atlantic."
It represents the normal rate for letters carried by the Yankee Clipper-from-New York to Horta, Lisbon, or Marseilles.
Remarkable Record There is a remarkable record of the transatlantic fights in the stamps issued in connexion with the pioneer efforts of Hawker.
Alcock and Brown, the airship R. 34, De Pinedo, Connor and Boyd, the Dornier flying boat Do-X, and General Balbo's formation flight.
Several of these philatelic sou- venirs have risen to high figures in the collectors' market, quite apart from their great historical interest. The solo flight from New York to Paris accomplished by Ccionel Lindbergh 12 years ago. was also the occasion of a com- memorative stamp Issue by the United States on his home-coming.
A record of the principal transatlantic fights and the routes followed by them may be found in the design of a $1 air mail stamp issued by Newfound- land in 1931,

BAD CUSTOMERS
At San Remo, Italy, recently sonie 1,500 German tourists arriv- ed. They were gloomily received by the town's hotellers and trades. people. The reason for this was that the tourists had been "allow- ed to take out of Germany only a strictly limited number of marks aplece, and spent most of their time gaping at things they could aot afford to buy.
Previously,
such unprofitable customers from the other end of the Rome-Berlin" axis were more than made up for by British and American, tourists, many of whom have now, however, banned Axis countries from their lists.
Walled a prominent business- man recently: "Most of the bet- ter hotels are empty: The people who used to spend - money and really helped to make business good do not come here any more, What we need is the British and Americans to "come back. We
never before realised what good clients they were."
