Local Philatelist'
Has Air Stamps
Has One Sent To Little America
Also One of First Trans-Pacific
Alright

Empty envelopes comprised a
large part of the mail of the China
Clipper, in its first flight on the
Airlines to Hawaii,
Guam, and the Philippines. The
reason is stamp collectors. J. H.
Hanson, local philatelist, has now
in his possession a twenty-five cent
stamp of that airline and also the
post office cachet, which accom-
panies such stamps on a first run
or a first flight, in this instance.
The self-addressed envelope bear
ing the stamp was sent under COW
er to the postmaster In San Fran
cisco. There the cover was remov-
ed and the envelope was sent TO
Hawaii, as marked by Mr.. Han
son. Postmarkeei in San Francisco

day. the 23rd. From Hawaii 1t was

the sea at the left Is a Chinese
Junk, at the right a modern steam
ship, and in the center a three,

and pieces of mail carried on the
first flight a large proportion was
stamp collectors empty envelopes,
which ia of course just as good
revenue for Uncle Sam as envelopes
filled with personal writing. !,
Mr.. Hanson has been interested
in this practice for some time, and
last year he didn't enjoy such spien-
did service when he sent one 70
little America, Antarctic, to the
base camp Of Commander Byrd.
The letter was gone from his hands
for some eight months-brt he got
