COLLECTING HOBBYISTS
There is no limit to the range of possible hobbies, as an American named Dave Elman has lately found out, says the "Manchester Guardian." His own hobby is the collection of hobbyists, and he has made it a profitable pursuit, for one of the American broadcasting companies has engaged him to organise a talk on the subject as a regular weekly feature. He receives about 900 letters a week, from which he picks out those writers whose accounts of their hobbies he thinks most likely to interest listeners. The chpsen few are then brought to New) York, all expenses paid, and "put on the air." Mr. Elman has thus discovered a woman who has accumulated 40,000 wishbones.
