Stamps, in fact, are a source of considerable revenue for Govern- monts, as there are millions of col. lectors paying an annual tribute of about £1,000,000 to European Gov- ernments alone,

Another attractive issue is a series issued in Latvia illustrating the conquest of the air from the earliest times to the present day.
