F. Lavin, | retired, of Worcester, Mass. declared {to Nome and return. { + Judge Lavin left Juneau by PAA| |plane last Tuesday immediately| foiilowing his arrival here by steam- | ler from the States. He is now stop-| [ping at the Gastineau Hotel here| and plans to return south tomorrow aboard the Princ Louise. After {landing ck at Seattle, he will fly |to San Diego, then will speed back| across the continent to his home |city. | | “I was in Fairbanks for the earth- | quake they had there,” he said. “At | first I just couldn’t figure out what| could be making the building shake. | (I was in my room at -the Nurx:lule1 Hotel), then I saw people rushing out into the streets and soon found out what the trouble was. Shakes continued, slight ones, until early| Sunday morning. I understand it was the worst quake they ever had | there; at least it did considerable | damage to bottled goods in liquor and drug stores. The bottles were | shaken off the shelves and smash- ed.” Even before Judge Lavin retired from the bench two years ago he had done considerable traveling by| air; now he is concentrating on it. I enjoy riding in the big trans- port planes, seeing the country flow | by below. Although I like to travel by boat also, I really think there is no form of transportation that | | Judge Lavin just about started ‘his traveling .with the opening up of the airlines, ten years ago, and ihns been doing his best to keep {up with them ever since. “So far (the most interesting trip I have |made was as a passenger aboard the | |first clipper planes to Bermuda. Only a few of us on that trip had {ever before been aboard a large| (plane, but when we returned to the |mainland, nearly everyone was sold on travel by air.” Judge Lavin has flown several |times across the continent, has cov- ered most of the United States by air, flew to Mexico City, and now has added' Alaska to his list of lands conquered by air. The next jump he has planned is ‘the crossing of the Atlanti¢ to England by the route newly estab- lished by Pan-American. He had wanted to make that crossing in the first passenger plane to leave; but has now given up that hope, as he will not be hack to the East coast in time, and will be satisfied just to make it this summer, among the first. Before leaving Juneau, he plans to call on Gov. John W. Troy.

If the per- sonalities were identified, it might result in a little case of suicide. One of the representatives of a ' New York publishing house, prowl- ing through the Balkans in search of new writers, made the acquaint- ance of a smooth talking young man and wound up offering him a diplomatic post on the New York side. He wasn’'t an author but he knew everybody of importance in Eurcpe, especially the literati, and it was to be his task to smooth the way between American publish- ers and European writers. Returning to New York, the rep- resentative found that he could not go through with his proposed ven- ture, so the young man in Vienna was notified that the deal was off. The effects of this turn of events was sudden and disquieting. be in Anna Sten. it she was Sam Goldwyn | the end of the ar | | SAVED FROM SUICIDE | By return mail came an astound- ing ultimatum from friends of the young man. He had, it seems, gone | all over Vienna telling everybody about his new job. Parties had been given him, fetes arranged in his hanor. ; Too, he was the scion of an an- cient (if penniless) and aristocratic | family. Not to be able to make | good after boasting of his new employment would cause him to| lose “face.” Therefore, unless the| publishing house reconsidered and | forwarded sufficient money for his passage to America, the young man would have no alternative but to commit, suicide. | That was a weird state of af- fairs. Rather than have blood on its hands, the firm brought the young man over. He’s here now, getting into every- | body’'s hair and recommending “writers” who couldn’t even crack the New York pulps. The publish- | ers shake their heads sadly. They don’t say so, but somehow you get the impression they are sorry they | didn’t let the young man go ahead and lose “face.” ODDITIES Joe DiMaggio is a reformed crab- fisherman. . . .
