STAMP DESIGNERS
BUSY YEAH SPENT. The stamp designers are busy—they designed 1728 new issues in 1931, which, is 120 more than in the previous year (says a Reuter message). 'Some of the reasons for the new designs were certainly queer. San Marino put out a special set just to celebrate the opening of a new electrie railway and Russia had an issue in connection with a tourist trip to the North Pole. ‘ The British Empire produced soine beautiful stamps. Two attractive issues came from Antigua and Montserrat. in the West Indies, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of their settlement. The most pathetic issue came from. British Honduras. It was designed to raise funds to help the victims of the great tornado at Belize.
