about the end Of this week. And
the Joy will not be singular. but
plural, for the list of passengers In
dictate that there is a whole Joy fam
lily coming.
Popular cartoonists take pleasure
in depicting joys as little nymphs,
chasing away the gloom nymphs.
Thus it can be expected that II any
glooms can be found in Fairbanks
when the whole Joy family arrives,
they will promptly be driven away.
Fairbanks, however, has never been
troubled with glooms. for the people
here always look on the bright side
of everything. II 1t rains or shines
or freezes, the people OF this city
smile, and even when prices go up
and the cost of living takes a sudden
lump, they take the matter philoso-
phically and look pleasant.
But let the Joys come, II they Will
live I'D to their name, and the more
of them the better This Is, indeed.

There is no doubt that there are
many women in Fairbanks who would
have acted just as kindly under the
circumstances, but usually a person

WANTED Behind the scenes
LEGAL in the office of the
PROTECTION district attorney there
is many an interest
ing scene involving the frailties of
human character, concerning which
the public knows nothing. One such
scene took place a few days ago in
the office of Assistant District At
torney Gillette, when poor man
came to ask protection, not from an
other person, but from himself. 1t
was pathetic request. and undoubt-
eddy the required protection will
be granted.
When the man came into Mr.
Gillette's office, he showed signs Of
intoxication, but when he started
talking it was evident that he was
not so far under the influence Of
liquor as to be unreasonable. He
knew what he wanted and how to
explain himself.
After introducing himself. the visi-
tor whose name Is unknown to me,
explained that he had become a
slave to liquor and that although he
knew it was killing him, he could not
resist the temptation to drink.
What the man wanted was to have
the district attorneys office issue an
order prohibiting the saloons OF the
city from selling him any more in
toxicating liquor, for as long as he
is permitted to buy it, the man said
he would not be able to resist the
temptation to drink His condi-
ton will be further investigated
when he is fully sobered.

Rodman Wansmaker's mammoth flying

lett will attempt TO cross the Atlantic
Ocean, was launched this afternoon.
The ceremony Of naming the boat was
witnessed by several thousand persons,

the boat, Miss Mason recited the fol-
