How Refugees Smuggle Fortunes

FORTUNES can be made out of everything. There are people who live in nfluence on the proceeds of waste paper, scrap metal, and things which most people throw away. Most people stick stamps on envelopes, post them, and forget about them. Other make their living out of them.

This month, In the Holborn Res- taurant, the annual English Stamp Bourse was opened. Professional dealers from all over the Continent and from America gathered round small tables covered with white cloths, And, pulling fortunes from their pocket-books, concluded in whispers deals which will probably total about £60,000.

STAMPS FOR BRAIN PILLS Stamp dealers always seem to have un abundance of amusing and roman- tic stories about their dealings. Many of them deal with the natives of West Africa who end them. parcels of stamps and demand most unusual merchandise in payment:
