"Did you see any ghosts?" he •"•§» asked, when he came out. "Yes, I saw one," he said. "What did you do? Weren't you frightened?" "Of course I wfts frightened," admitted Webster. "When I saw the ghost approaching, I started to pray with all my might. I prayed and prayed but it kept coming closer." "What did you do them?" "I began to sing hymns," said Webster. "I sang them louder and louder until I was singing at the #•> of my voice." "Did that stop the ghost?" "No," he said. "It kept advancing. Then I had an idea. Just as the ghost was about to touch me, I took a collection plate front my pocket and held it out. Do you know what? That ghost just vanished into thin air!" WILLIAM M. CARROLL.

An interchange of railroad equipment throughout the world is unlikely because of the difference in track gauges in the various countries. Once a gauge has been long used in a country it is difficult to make a change because bridges, tunnels, stations and other railroad appurtenances have been built to match it.

Last year they sold 168 million. It's the biggest boom in piece goods sales since the 1920s. A Wall Street Journal survey in leading cities shows how women are beating the high cost of ready-made dresses by doing their own sewing. A Seattle department store reports its sales of wash goods (cotton) 84 per cent above last year's level. A Cleveland department store said sales of piece goods were running 25 to 75 per cent ahead of a year ago. One Of Chicago's biggest department stores says, "Every session of its sewing classes has an overflow crowd." Women are snapping up second-hand sewing machines, while manufacturers of new machines find themselves »digging into a bonanza. j Approved Shooting Positions i A rifle can be fired from a number of different positions. Four of these have become standard: the standing position, kneeling, sitting and prone. The prone position gives the most support and is the most accurate. It is used in most target shooting matches. Most game shooting, of course, is done from the standing position because the hunter doesn't have time for any of the others. The sitting and kneeling positions are compromises between the two, since they give a more steady hold than the standing position. but take more time to get set.
