OUT OF THE ORDINARY
Perhaps the queerest of all the
queer occupations in Great Britain is
that of Elliott O’Donnell, who an
nounces himself as a "ghosi seeker.”
His special line is investigating
haunted houses. For a consideration
he will undertake to chase away any
; disagreeable ghost which may infest
j any ancient house or castle,
j Albert Jones of Syracuse, in a hurry
j to catch a train, packed hastily,
i grabbed a coat from the hall rack, and
j donned it on his way to the street car.
| Finding that he attracted more atten
tion than usual when he entered the
car, he looked down and discovered
that he was wearing a beautifully
frilled and decorated lady’s coat.
In the United States only one per
son in 7,300 buys a book in the course
of a year, while in Great Britain, it is
one in 8,800; in France, it Is about the
same; in Germany and Japan, it is
rather better, and in Switzerland, it
is one in 872. Cheaper books in paper
covers account for some of this diffei
enee.

Occasional "Lay Off" for a
