BERLIN'S SONG FOUNTAIN DRIES IN ALASKA CLIME “Too Inspucd to Compose Tunes,” Says Irving in Juneau The king of ballad, Irving Berlin, was “too inspired with Alaska” to compose any tunes, he declared upon his re-arrival in Juneau today. The yacht Seyelyn II, Capt. Casey Moran, berthed at the Standard Oil Company docks with Berlin and 'his party at 1:30 o’clock tMs afternoon to pick up Lee Considine, guide, for a goat hunting expedition until the first of September. Since leaving Juneau last Friday the Berlin party has viewed Glacier Bay and has fished in Basket Bay. “But it’s so beautiful, I haven't really got down to work,” the song- master asserted. “Perhaps after I'm back in Hollywood, the Alaskan scenery will inspire me to write a song. Right now, we're just out to have a good time—especially for the kids.” However, Berlin also was inter- ested in Alaskan curios and the first stop he made, after leaving the ves- sel, was to a local store where he previously had purchased several items. He went there clad in his fish- ing clothes of blue denim pants and green rain-coat and hat. His wife, Ellin Mackay Berlin, daughter of the prominent utility magnate, however, said, “I've got| to get to a hair-dresser first. I'll meet you at the Territorial Museum later.” She, accompanied by their two daughters, Mary Ellen and Linda Louise, S8am Goldwyn, Jr., son u! the Hollywood producer; and Jack | McKenzie, hefty employee of Ber- lin’s, parted temporarily from the songwriter. They were dressed for| the weather also. Berlin said the outstanding ex- perience in the past week was “See- ing a wild goose come on board and watch us fish. We didn't try to mo- lest her and for about six hours she stayed there, just watching the chil- dren fish, Capt. Moran said proba- bly she had young around and didn't want to leave.” { The party is. scheduled to leave Juneau early tomorrow for goat hunting. Ethiopia Looks in a Gold Rush | ADDIS ABABA, 1wlian Ethiopia, ADDIS ABABA, Italian Ethiopia, | solin’s rule, reminiscent of American gold rush days: | America’s “Go West, young man!” has become the Italian “go South,” | and thousands of new citizens are pouring into the capital. The Italian settlers left electric- ity, gas, running water and sewer- age and they want them here, where they do not exist. Right now the prime necessity is a roof overhead. Many Ethiopian buildings con- structed of mud, with corrugated | iron roofs on which the rain plays an anvil chorus, have been taken | over by the Italians. Engineers are surveying a wat- erfalls near Addis Ababa with the intention of harnessing it to pro- vide electricity for the city. Water is provided by wells and | an aqueduct from the Entotto hills, but is not piped to the houses. A| bath is a great luxury. Garbage | collection has just started. Despite these still primitive con- ditions social life in the capital is fairly gay. Bandit Haugnut Settling Down LENEPAH, Okla., Aug. 19.—From its wild beginnings Lenapah has bidingist parts. It has no town constable. None is needed to mind its 336 residents. But before it settled down Leng- |pah, just north of Nowata in the northeastern corner of Oklahoma, was the hangout of such bandit characters as Henry Starr, Al Spen- |cer and members of the Poe-Hart ':\nd Conno-Jarrett gangs.
