Costly ‘Whoopee’

LONDON, Sept. 4 —After Paris, I suppose London ig the most expensive piace ip the world today to find pleasure, The high cost of the fleshpots is apt to make Christians of everybody if the sngs continues. Or should, anyhow. It is, for instance, nearly impossible to be =a drunkard in London today. A slug of scotch whisky costs 80 cents for an eyedropper full, a buck and a quarter for a respectable tipple. A social nip for three people eats up four bucks. There are no night clubs worthy of the name, There are a {ew expensive restaurants-which- provide dancing until midnight, but-aftet that you must go to a bottle club (you have to be a member), Even so, admission is from two to four dollars a head. It is then necessary to buy your bottle, which works out at about $16 for a bottle of scotch and $10 for a bottle of gin. And you are running the risk of sudden blindness or internal corrosion.

90c For Cigarets A PACKET OF English cigarets costs from_ 70 cents to 90 cents for 20, depending on the brand and where vou buy it. American cigarets are common in the free, which. is to say black markets of all Europe, but you don't see them in England. In the legitimate restaurants, you aren't supposed to spend more than a dollar for your three courses, and the same applies to "hotéls.

The London cab at best belonged to the days of the young Henry Ford, and how they've lasted this long is a modern miracle, It is, however, amazing to note that the few folk who do go out at night to scratch up a little brief gaiety, are 80 per cent in formal clothes, You feel naked without a dinner jacket in any of the better hotel dining rooms, and long skirts swish in the bottle joints..

Gold | Crisis

People Still Want ‘Their Iron Today’

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-1 did my best to make some sense of this dispatch about gold, The whole day I spent with the experts in their counting house. T looked at their charts and took careful notes—and all 1 can say is I hope they know what they're doing. Ernie Bevin, Britain's heavy jowled foreign secretary, brought up the subject when he said we ought to quit burying our gold in Kentucky, like a squirrel, and pass it around to folks ‘(like himself) who could find a better use for it. So I dropped over.to the U. 8S. treasury to" see about this and pick up my bar of gold if any was * being given away. I didn't get enough gold for a watch-fob, ‘All I got was insults, The situation stacks up like this: This courttry has about 800 mines, where 20,000 men labor all year at high wages digging gold out of the ground. The government buys it at $35 an ounce and buries it again at Pt. Knox, Ky.

Sounds a Little Dopey I TOLD THE golden hoys that this sounded dopev to me. Look who's talking, they replied, adding (as if 1 were 4 half-wit) that we needed our $20 billion worth of buried gold as a basis for our currency. “Yeah,” I asked, "but why dig it up in the first place?” “Huh?” demanded the treasury. Patiently JI explained that the gold was buried already and ‘mostly down deep. So why dig it -and

- Blame This Guy

By Erskine Johnson

- te sn ppopeea tn

— HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 4.-~That wacky tune, “Tim-tay-shun,” may be driving you crazy, but it's sweet music to Ernest Jansen “Red” Ingle. Six months ago, Red was an entertainer in. 8pike Jones’ orchestra, specializing in murdering “Chloa,” sneezing, singing, impersonating a pig and playing a sax. His salary varied from $400 to $500 a week. Then he quit Spike and formed his own orchestra, the Natural Seven. -

Amazed ot Himself .

THIS WEEK Red is the Bottest thing in show business and his managers figure he'll earn close to $150,000 this year, between income from records, radio, movies and personal appearances. Forty-one-year-old Red is as amazed as everyone else. “We just tried ‘something new with hill-billy muc.” he fold me. “It was authentic tongue in cheek with & pitch under the table. ‘Now every bariender in America, I guess, has a mickey waiting for me. And I don't blame ‘em, Xd te to listen to ‘Tim-tay-shun’ all day, too.” In fact, Red got so tired of “Tim-tay-shun” that “he just recorded two more tunes, “Them Durn Fool

Things Remind Me of You” and “Song of Indians.” They're just as wacky, and it’s a toss-up right now which one will succeed “Tim-tay-shun’” as No. 1 on the bit parade. Red was a star entertainer with Spike Jones for three and a half years, But finally he got tired of going on 10-week tours which lasted 28 weeks, So he quit Spike's band.

“I THOUGHT maybe I'd do radio work in Hollywood and make records and 80. fishing a couple of days every week.’ But after 25 years in show BUBizieasmas a vaudeville hoofer, dancer and sax player—Red wasn't happy. So he organized the Natural Seven and asked songwriter Fos Carling to write him some wacky tunes. The first was “To Reach His Own.” It laid an egg. The second was “Tim-tay-shun.” It. clicked.
