Roaring Tom" Kehoe was one
Of the many seekers for gold in
Alaska, ana earned his nick
name because of his great lung
power. When Roaring Tom"
whispers he. can be heard for at
least a block, and 1t is said that
In his native haunts he can carry
on. a conversation without any
effort at g. distance of a mile.
When civilization he is a great
source Of embarrassment to
whomever he may be calling
upon, but Captain Rind found a
solution for the roar by taking
his old playmate down into the
engine room, and even there the
man from Alaska could be heard
above the noise of the engines.
After Roaring Tom" had taken
his departure and had shouted
good-bys that could be heard
for six square blocks, Captain
Rind went down to his room and
sent for the ships surgeon to
ask for q remedy for earache.
Roaring Tom" Kehoe assured
his friend Captain Kind that in
a month or two he intends to
cross to Europe, and If he. does,
Captain Rind declares there will
be no need for a foghorn on the
s. s. America.

HOW HEALTH
is AIDED AT
CARLSBAD

~ ARLSBAD is the Queerest
looking city of the many Gu
~ rious spas in Europe. 1t IS
set In valley so narrow that there
is room for but a single street in
the main part OF the town. A
mountain torrent, rushing through
the center Of the street. Is crossed
at frequent intervals by bridges.
But strange as is the town, the
customs are queerer still. Every
body at Carlsbad, which is located
in the comparatively prosperous
Czechoslovakia, by the way, Is
taking the cure for ills mostly
imaginary; but, when real, they are
caused by overeating and lack or
exercise. It Is a town ruled by
physicians, and life, In the hotels
at least, is regulated by medical
rules.
Everybody arises at q. m. The
first duty of the day is to visit the
mineral springs and drink a glass,
or several, of the unpa1atable wa
ters. There are usually several
thousand in line at the fountains
and while they wait they are en-
tertained by a concert given by
a civilian band. In Central Eu-
rope only army bands may wear
uniform, so the civilian bands are
attired in high hats and frock
coats. These, as a background
against cleaning brass instru-
ments, are incongruous, indeed.
Next on the program is break
fast, which is served two miles IN
the country, under the trees.
Headed by the band, and all carry
ing paper bags containing hot rolls
purchased at bakeries near the
spring, the entire mob Of invalids
parade out to the breakfast ground,
where they sit at wooden tables
and buy their coffee and butter
making use of their own rolls. No
meat is allowed. Very hungry
Americans may possibly bride the
waiter to serve eggs also. Hav-
ing breakfasted, the band con-
ducts the entire crowd back to the
hotels in the town.
Thus the crafty doctors have
persuaded the invalids to begin the
day with q four-mile walk, and the
exercise does more good than the
mineral water.
Ten p. m. means lights out In
Carlsbad.

r ONDON-The Joy OF life is
not in outward things, and
IL therein many of the present
generation make their great mis-
take.
Thus Ramsay Macdonald, leader
of the Labor party, sums up his
philosophy OF life.
Laborites have often been
charged with a lugubrious out
look on life, but Macdonald bellies
the charge.
Certainly there is ample JOY
in life If we do not deliberately
forbid it as an unwelcome guest,
Macdonald declared, in setting
forth his recipe for joyful living.
There is Joy in a pipe and the
open road, the labor leader de-
clares, and there is joy in work.
"Some people find joy in
righteousness so when they
speak we ought not to misun-
derstand them," Macdonald said.
AT have just had joyful days in
the hills tramping in rain and
mist, in company with band of
young folks who enjoyed every
drenching equally with every hour
of glorious sun, and who spent
as Jolly a night in a bed of
heather under q stone on the hill
side as beneath blankets at home.
This generation is allowing
itself to trust too much to out
ward things for joy. A good
walking stick, pipe and any
weather are enough; any pocket
treasure like The Open Road or
one of the Golden Treasury
volumes add luxury to the ele-
ments.
Get our people away from
the pettifogging vanities and the
empty wilderness of towns, get
them away with nature from self
regarding and signing introspec-
ton. I know the awful canker OF
worry that thousands of the most
decent of my fellow beings have to
bear in these times, and we are
miserably selfish creatures II we
forget. But joy elbows no other
sentiment out of our hearts when
It enters into possession itself. 1t
is an extra, not a substitute.
