EVEREST STAMPS.—An enlarged reproduction of one of the postage stamps to be issued by the Indian Government on October 2 in commemoration of the conquest of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and the Sherpa, Tensing Bhotia. October 2 (Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday) is a close holiday in India, but selected post offices will remain open specially for the issue of the Everest stamps, which are of two denominations. The design is the same for both values.
