MAY BE ON AIRPLANE ROUTE

Lafayette Receives Samples of Two Kinds of Airplane Postage Stamps. Samples of the U. S. airplane postage stamps have arrived in this city and if Lafayette is placed on the proposed airplane 'mail service route they will be a common sight. There .are two kinds—l 6 cent and 24 cent stamps—the 16 cent stamps are used as postage on letters from New York to Cleveland or from Cleveland to Chicago, and vice versa. These stamps are green and on them is the imprint of an airplane, a model similar to thet, one which visited Lafayette last week. The 24 cent stamps are blue in color, and are used as postage on letters from Chicago to New York or from New York to Chicago.—Lafayette Journal.
