AIR MAIL LETTERS.
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—-Copyright.) (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, May 14. Pillar boxes for air mail correspondence only are to be provided for the London postal service. They will be painted blue to distinguish them form tho red pillar boxes for ordinary letters. It has been decided to fix a few of these air mail letter boxes in the West End and City as an experiment. The boxes will be blue, because blue is the colour people associate with airmen, and blue is already the colour of the air mail labels.
