BOClsL0F, THE HOST ATLANTIS" PRESENTS
 WEIRD SPECTACLE
Alaskas Island of mystery!

The Island which in 1912 rose from the depths of the frigid Ber- ing Sea and in 1925 was joined by q second mound of sea bottom.
 Thousands of roaring sea lions and millions of fowl on wing, all stirred into motion by sharp blasts from the steamer Starr's whistle.
 This was the sight which the for Itunate passengers on the just com lpleted voyage of the mail steamer witnessed when Capt. Carl E. An derson, master, decided to give all real treat! Something which would forever recall to mind the trip Westward, so steamed many miles off his course to the island which he slowly circled, the vessel dancing about on the surge of the gentle rollers while the skipper played a musical score with the deep-tnroated whistle.
 Look it up on the map; north northwest of Cape Tanak, Umnak Island
 '! The famous volcanic island is not large, probably half a mile in length and a couple of city blocks in width at the widest part. Tn a way, it looks like one island with a rock on the end but as the steamer draws close in it can be seen that it is lolned by a narrow reef like beach. Rising from the waters edge the slope runs into what looks ! ike an inverted bowl from which jets of steam lazily curl upward from dozens of fumeroles-this can be likened to big steaming plum pudding The gradual rise con- tinues then abruptly comes another prominence atop of which are sew e eral smaller blocks of rock reSem- bling sentinels.
 Last year, Capt. Anderson stat tEd, this cliffs top was safnaoHnted by what had the appearance Of a Vikings headgear; but not so now Glancing down toward the base of 3the cliff lies thousands of tons ot rock which evidently formed the lVikin g's brown derby. Then stretching far out, dipping gradu- ally into the sea, the tip of the is Hand disapneafs from view.

The waves pounding ashore end in gigantic combers whipped a beautiful snowy white upon d mag lnificent black sand beach. Viewing this beach brings to mind the beach of Waikiki for here, on Bog oslof, the surf board rider would have a thrill of a lifetime.
 What at first seemed to be thous- ands of rocks on the beach and on the ridge of the plateau suddenly sprung to life sea lions upon hearing the series of whistle blasts let loose upon the stiffness except for the musical cadence of the surf. What a moment before was a most peaceful scene is instantly turned into one of mad frenzy as Captain Anderson hangs onto the whistle cord. The -throated roar of thousands of sea lions bowling in unison fairly shatters the atmos- phere.
 And in the brief lulls the click and whirr of the still and moving picture cameras penetrate.
 The first blast of the whistle was also the signal for millions of birds to soar aloft plotting out the suns warm rays and almost obliterating the island from view. Nesting at the foot of the steaming upthrust is glimpsed a gleaming, yellow lake; sulphur, no doubt.
 The cameras continue to snap as troops of sealions loped down the beach and into the surf with sur prising speed, then to plunge into a breaker and so on out to the depths. Once, an entire battalion swept toward the steamer as if to attack, only to turn and dive, floundering among themselves
 AS the last point slowly passes to the rear, heads rise from the sea; on land the massive brutes rear up high for one last look alt the pest, which, for a moment, had upset their domestic life, their harems, and the play of the little ones

Let's get a bit better acquainted with one Of the greatest glorifiers of the American Girl.
 And of course we mean Ethel Hays, known the world over for her ETHEL" sketches, which appear in the Herald.
 Ethel started to draw when go- ing to school in Billings, Montana and her ability led her to the art editorsl1ip of all Of her school pub lications. The ambition to he pro- fessional artist cropped out right then.
 After graduation she went to Los Angeles and studied in the Los An geles School of Art and Design Then right across the coutry she went-to New York. where, for three years, she attended the school of the Art League.
 Her work included all the ordi- nary mcdiums-pen, water colors, pastel oils and charcoal. She studied portraits, landscapes, dc sign and nearly every form of art all the while seeking to discover where her best talent lay.
 Then along came the World war and knocked her artistic ambitions into a cooked kat-or, specifically, a nurses cap. Ethel was so anxious to go overseas that she dropped her brushes and studied nursing.
 After passing her Red Cross ex- aminations. she discovered that the government needed drawing in structors, for work in government hospitals. Here was her chance to do her bit without ncglcctns her chosen career.
 She sent in her application and was shortly ordered 10 the base hospital at Camp Lewis, Wash. That was the start of six years as "rc- construction aide" for Uncle Sam.
 As Ethel taught soldiers 10 draw, despondency faded while hands and minds were kept busy with entertaining work. She was transferred from one base hospi- tai to another and in each place she plastcrcd the walls with hu- morous sketches. much 10 the de- light of the soldiers.
 Out of it all came the hunch that in humorous sketches lay her real route 10 success.
 The glowing reports about Ethel's work came out of the hos pitals and reached the ears of a Cleveland, O., art editor. He got in touch with her, and, as a re- suit, she shortly became a mem- Der of the art staff of the Cleve- land Press.

BEER SALES TELL
 GERMANY'S WEALTH
Are Mounting Again Now After
 Bad Post.War Slump

Berlin, Feb. q LP)-Beer is more a barometer Of national prosperity, and the reading just now is flair and warner
 Figures published by the commits soncr of controlled revenues ope2- Ating under the Dawes plan, shoN that while Germans arc not drinN- ing nearly so much beer as befo"c the war. the steady increase in COZ sumption within five years warrants q deduction that the country is gct- ting back into it's industrial stride.
 In the fiscal year 19o4-25, the commissioner points out, Germahs quaffed an aggregate of 40,700,0GU hectolitres of the national drinN. That was far below the pre-war fig ure of 6S,500.000 hectolitrcs. But in the following year there was an increase of 6,1J0,O00 hectolitres, and by the end of the fiscal year l92S-Ha the beer barometer had climbed to 55.200,0p hectolitrcs.
 While come of the growing cou- sumption may have been due to an increase in the national thirst, the commissioners report refers to it as one indication of a consolidation of the economic situation" which, in the past few years, has enabled German workers to buy not only more beer but more luxury goojs generally.
 The rise in beer consumption has been steady too in spite of highcr beer taxes with consequent increases in the retail price. The per capita consumption rose from 65 litres iD 1924 to S7 litres in 1929.

LEADERS WORRIED

French Cabinet Situation Causes
 Concern in London

London, Feb. 21 P-Undercur- rents of apprehension as to possible consequences of the French political situation were discernible today among those connected with .he five power naval conference who re- mained in London over the week. end.
 The question uppcrmost in most minds was, what will happen to the conference If the French govern ment crisis is not settled by next Wednesday. when the weeks recess Of the naval conferees ends. The solution, taking another recess, had it's difficult aspects which certainly will not be satisfying to those who finally must face such a situation.
 Hope Chautcmps Will Win
 London hoped Camille Chautemrs would be able to secure a majority in the French chamber for the cab met which he succeeded today in getting together. However. as one French observer put it; 'Nothlas al all IS certain about what is going 10 happen III tdflS.
 "A government, such as that ot NJ. Chautemps, may receive endorse ment, and the conference may con- tinue next week; but again, there is a good chance that any new gorerA- ment will last but a few days and that consequently the French delo- gation at London will again become < an orphan. There may be several w governments to rise and fall within the next few weeks and meanwhile the conference will be unable 10 proceed"
 Although the chiefs of the dele gations at least publicly show no disposition to view the future with any great gloom, it is said that Se1- @Ietary Stimson and Prime Minister Macdonald in a conversation at the house of commons yeterday discuss ed their fears of further prolonga- Ftion of the conference and it's prob able effect on world opinion.
 Macdonald May Act
 It is possible that if the French situation-whch at least had some promise with announcement of q t~ca abinet, even though it has not yet been endorsed-has not cleared up definitely by the first of the week Mir. Macdonald may call a meeting of the chief delegates even before "Wednesday in an attempt to discov- CT some solution.
 Most all of the delegates are most serious with regard to the delayed procedure but ono naval wit sum- ming up the problem said: The conference song now being written is What'll We do?' with words by Stimson and Macdonald, and music by Wakatsuki and Grandi.'
 There has been no public estimate of the cost of the conference day by day but no one contradicts that each week s delay will run it into huge sums. That even the British are feeling the strain was shown in the house of commons last night when there was d somewhat caustic debate on an appropriation of 10000 for entertainment and other eX- penses.
 Secretary Stimson today planned to have luncheon with Lord Grey i'll London. The meeting was in con- tnuation Of his study of British political conditions.
