CITY LIBRARY EMPL OYES

One is prone to think Of dispensers

from whose lives the joy has been
sapped by human interrogation points.
and whose code of living is summed
up in the agate-typed railroad guide.

You may be one of those persons
who believe that the breaking of a
mirror will bring a sevenyear period
of bad luck. If you do. it's an even
chance you never consulted an in
Formation clerk at the library about it.
She would tell you that the belief
which has existed in the minds of
savages as to the connection between
a man and his shadow has had prob
ably something to do with the origin
of the superstition that breaking a
looking glass is unlucky, but mirrors
were formerly used by magicians in
