TOWN THRIVES ON TOURISTS
oban, Scottish Summer Resort, Prao-
tically Supported by Enthusiastic
Visitors Who Buy Souvenirs.

Oban is Scottish town that exists
almost entirely for the benefit of the
tourist, Every other house in Oban
Is boarding. house or Il hotel and
buildings that have escaped this fate
are used as shops where the traveller is
entlced into buying IA beautiful plaid
tartan for which he has no use or
Scotch pebbles which are guaranteed
to be highly ornamental in the parlor
cabinet.
If you have a Scotch ancestor Oban
is the place to resurrect him. All the
plaldS of Scotland and few besides
are in the Oban shops, If your ances-
tors cannot be located in the Scotch
who's Who" Of the past, any obliging
thopkeeper will unblnkngly produce
a plaid which fits the name of your
kinsman and which matches your Ii
brary carpet.
If you stroll through the quiet streets
to the top of hill you can see Oban
at its best. The water Of the bay is so
shlningly blue that you at once re-
solve to take trip to one of the tiny
Islands dotting the smooth eXpanse.
The roads that climb the Scotch hills
so easily are edged with close-trimmed
hedges, and the cottages are cloaked In
glossy and picturesque Ivy.
OF to one side is a great circular
edlfice not unlike Roman circus. This,
your hostess informs you on your re-
turn, is "McCaigs Folly" If you are
still curious you will be told the story
of old eccentric McCalg, who had this
useless, antique-looklng structure built
at great expense to himself and to the
vast amusement of his fellow citizens.
Winter Is the quiet time in Oban.
Then there are no enthusiastic
strangers to buy expensive souvenirs
or to hire boats for trips around the
bay. The town is gloomy and DESERT

How HRIack Watehn Got Name,

In the old days the regiments Of
the British army were known by the
color of their uniforms, as the White
regiment, the Blue regiment, or the
Red regiment, and so ad infnitum. 1t
is quite possible, therefore, that there
was a Black regiment, from whence
came the Black Watch. The Red reg
iment, incidentally, was Cromwell's
Ironsides. But the term "Black
Watch" was also used for the Guards
of the Dominlcans or Black Friars.
and came to be applied also to the
scullions in the kitchens of the great
houses, whose business 1t was to look
after the pots and pans.

The conductor remembered the little
girl very well, although he did not
remember all the details Of her story.
He was very kind to her and brought
her satisfying news about Prince in
