Carlsbad Now
Karlovy Vary
Scene In Karlovy Vary.
?w-.-m1 yllKN EUUQFK'S best ad
Ml J vertlsed health resort
yj yl awoke one morning to find
fts pusi office changed from
Carlsbad, Austria. to Karlovy Vary,
Czechoslovakia. the mental shock to
the German Inhabitants must have
been somewhat like the occasional ex
plosions of its bidden wells, trom
which Its famous mineral waters come,
says a bulletin of tU?? National Geo
graphic society.
Though it Is located In Hohajula, the
Englishman had Introduced afternoon
tea, and the American had made ten
ids popular, but the 17.000 permanent
residents, who remained In Carlsbad
after the annual Influx <?f some 70,000
visitors, were essentially German, and
Karlovy Vary remains so, according
to the press reports.
Hence it Is easy to understand how
this island of Germans, under Czech
rule, approached a political boiling
point. Dispatches told of open dis
play of Emperor Fran'/. Joseph's por
trait, and of the refusal of the native
sons, who live by means of the saline
wutoi'x and salt derivatives, to call
Carl*bnd by any other name.
Discovered by Charles IV,
Traditions had It, and the inhabit
ants preferred to believe, that Km
peror Charles IV. discovered tin* heal
ing power of the waters that gush
through the vents of the inammoth-ttd
that nature clapped dpwn over a
seething caldron far beneath the sur
face.
Atop this vast subterranean lake of
molten mineral and hissing steam a
river, the Tepel, flows lazily down a
narrow valley whose slopes are soft
1 ened by beautiful trees and traversed
by winding trails and paths. Among
these, some physicians intimate, the
hcnlth hunters gained the rosy cheeks"
and buoyant spirits for which thTT
springs receive overmuch credit.
It Is just before the Tepel enters the
Eger that the underground streams
pierce the- crust at numerous points,
and furnish the waters used for bath
ing and drinking by those who could
afford to go there; and either bottled
or boiled down by the millions of gal
lons, for its salt and soda content, and
shipped to all quarters of the globe.
During tho season at pre-war Carls
had the guest at any of the numerous
hotels would he awakened at 0 o'clock,
or even earlier, and would arise to
Join the procession toward the springs.
At a'popular one, such as the Sprudel,
from which flow 440 gallons of water
a minute, at a temperature of 1G3
degrees, Fahr., he might have to wait
lft or 20 minutes until a whltecapped
maid served him. For his protection,
large glass covers were erected over
many of the springs, and from an air
plane Carlsbad might resemble a field
of conservatories.
But to linger too long among the
springs of Carlsbad is to miss Its hla-.
tory. Ifere there Is a griin sort -of
symbolism. For it was here, Just 100
years ago last August, that Met'ernlch
plotted to clamp down the lid upon
free speech, free press, and un tram
meled teaching in the German states.
Origin of the "Carlsbad Decrees."
There were signs that liberal agita
tion among Germans was reaching
the boiling point. Autocracy was
threatened. Prince Metternleh of Aus
tria arrange* I to have sympathetic rep
resentation from Austria. Prussia, and
?-even other states of the (Icrman con
federation at Carlsbad, atid then call
ed t hem together in a hurry, under
pretext of need for summary action.
Out of the conference came the fa
mous ('arlshad Decrees," and there
can be little doubt huf that the tinder
for the world explosion in 1014 was
lighted nt I'urlsbail. There was formu
lated : hr policy. !<<fer ?ai<ied to a
rele.it le-<s ronclti^ioii l>y the German
empire, of press censorship, of state
regulation of teaching in universities
and ill! o'|?t boo!*, and a commis

while the rest of this Metternlchlan
policy of repression Is modified hy the
modern idea of providing ?safety
valves, through which rise the
springs."
Capitalizing the mineral waters was
the principal Industry, but not the
only one, of Carlsbad. In the vicinity
were porcelain works, and the shopper
of the days when the wealth and fash
Ion of three continents gathered there
might purchase Bohemian glass and
beautiful trinkets of many kinds, rep
resenting the Czech handicraft.
MOURN OVER LOST CHANCES
Few Who Do Not Claim to Have Had
Great Opportunities, and
Lost Them.
In an article In People's Magazine
Hugh S. Ftillerton tells of millions of
dollars' worth of ideas running to
waste.
"I'd rather ha.ve (In* Idea I failed to
follow up than the ones I made 'ljy
money out of."
That was said. to me hy a mniFMvho.

country and who is credited. amor:g
his associates, with almost supernat
ural wisdom in evolving Ideas and see'
ing their possibilities.
"Every man had one or more big
Chances to get to the top," he contin
ued. "If you don't believe that, just
get into any crowd of ihen,. fell some
yarn of an opportunity that you had,
and overlooked, and then- listen to
them. Chances are every one of thorn
will have a better story of lost oppor
tunity than you told, and nine out of
*.en of them will tell a wonderful story
of how some other man 'stole' their
great Ideas and got rich or famous
from them. Examine into these stories
nod you will find, in the majority of
cases, that the man who claims to have
originated the idea did not do It nt
all, that he did not see the possibili
ties of it, or that, even if he did, he
was not smart enough or lacked th?
Initiative to follow It up.
There are more chances for men to
get rich now than there ever were bo
fore in the history of the world, and
more big chances being overlooked.
Whether It is because men lack faith
lu themselves or because they prefer
a humming bird In the hand to an
eagle in the air, I don't know. They
seem to think a man must be a super
genius or a great Inventor."
I reminded him that lie had a re*>
utatlon as an originator, as an Invent
or and genius, in addition to being -ft
successful organizer.
"Bunk," he asserted. "I do not
claim to have originated anything. My
success has been due to seeing the pos
sibilities of nn Idea and working out
the details so as to apply the Idea to
practical business. Probably a thou
sand men thought of the same things I
did before I was born, and did not de
velop them. Some of my most success
ful ideas probably were talked over
and dreamed over by hundreds who
failed to work them out practically.*'
