(During the Past Week the Daily Press Gave Extensive Publicity to the Following Men and Women. Let Each Explain to You Why His Name Appeared in the Headlines.)

Sir Thomas Lipton, tea magnate: "I announced that I had definitely decided to build a new boat and challenge again for America's Cup in 1925. Headlining this report, the New York Tribune ignorantly referred to me as 'Sir Lipton'." .

Ernest du Pont, gunpowder manufacturer : " Motoring in the dead of night on the Baltimore Pike near Media, Pa., I was suddenly confronted by a man in the road flourishing a pistol. He was dressed as a State policeman, but, suspecting treachery, I put on speed. The man jumped aside, entered a waiting car with his accomplice and gave me hot chase. They fired at me, hitting my tonneau twice. They caught up and tried to crowd me off the road. When I slowed down one bandit boarded my car, gun in hand. I flung him from the running board and escaped."

Henry Ford: "At Marion, 0., a cameraman imposed upon my good nature by suggesting that I pose working over a machine of my own make. Said he: 'That would be a good picture, with you a candidate for President.' I favored the man with a frosted glance and ceased smiling."

Leon Trotzky: " A speech I made at the inauguration of 'Sverdlov's Communistic University,' Moscow, was summarized by the Pravda: 'A true revolutionist is a man who is not afraid of blowing up, of resorting to a pitiless violence. He must not be restrained by any considerations that might keep him from resorting to violence; it is for this reason that the education of a revolutionist must be based on atheism.' "

Charles ("Chick") Evans, Jr., famed golfer: " I was accused by a Chicago Board of Trade man of giving him a bogus check for $7,500 on a grain speculation. My explanation was that I wrote the check to accommodate the broker pending a loan from my bank."

Elizabeth, Duchess of York: "Lady Rachel Cavendish received a wedding present informally marked: ' From Albert and Lizzie.'"

Max Oser: "In a recent questionnaire conducted by the principal of a French grammar school, several boys, possibly inspired by my marriage to an American millionairess, said they were going to be grooms when they grew up."

Georges Clemenceau: "The film version of my novel, Les Plus Forts, passed after long delay by the national censor, was condemned by the court at La Seyne-sur-Var as 'dangerous to public order and morality and tranquillity'."

Edsel Ford, President of the Ford Motor Company: " 'It is not a matter of needing the business but of principle,' said I in announcing that I would seek a court injunction to restrain the City of Detroit from placing its order for 'police fliers' with the Cadillac Motor Co. Our Lincoln car won the speed tests conducted by the Division of Motor Transportation."

Arthur Hammerstein, producer: " Generalizing about modern musical comedy, I said: ' We are getting back to the plays of Gilbert and Sullivan, set to present-day words and music. ... No more the bawling, syncopated soubrette, whose only acquisition was a reputation in the divorce courts and a vulgar method of kicking. The plot ... is the thing'."

John D. Rockefeller, Jr.: "My sister-in-law, Miss Lucy Aldrich, who was captured by bandits at Shantung, China, several weeks ago, arrived at the Golden Gate."

Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont: "I sold my New York house, No. 477 Madison Ave., to Arthur Brisbane, Hearst editor. Brisbane already owned im portant sites thereabouts."

Paul Whiteman, jazz orchestra leader: " Home from London on the Leviathan, I was met at Quarantine by a band in pneumatic suits. The musicians swam around the boat, playing me a syncopated welcome."

Walter Johnson, Washington pitcher (American League) : "I admitted I am not as good as I was 10 or 15 years ago. 'It's a pair of weak legs,' said I, 'rather than an ailing arm that is robbing me of much of my speed'."

Edward of Wales: "Since TIME commenced publication, 25 weeks ago, Mr. Henry Ford and I have figured in more ' Imaginary Interviews ' than any one else in the world. Not counting this issue, we have both scored nine. Pugilist Dempsey and M. Clemenceau are tied for second place with five each. Hylan, Yolanda, Siki, Alvin Owsley (National Commander of the American Legion) have four apiece."
