are being made by an increasing num-
Der of young British former officers
by leading a jolly life among people
in a position to place substantial or

One former officer, who represents
nine business houses in England, all
selling different classes of goods,
claims to show a weekly profit of be-

During the interval he manages to
point out to the prospective clients
the merits of any of the particular
lines of goods he represents, offering
to arrange for the orders to be exc
cuted later.

This group of nineteen is taking
three intensive courses of two
