Some of the reasons were • military... Men between the ages of 20 and 35 y'ears ; suit us best from, a military pqmt of view. As a matter of ..- fact the number of men between 40 and ~ '45 who caii be accepted are few proportionately. • We also camo to the conclusion thakit was'likely that the Usabilities of men under 35 would not be so great as those of- t-lio older men."
