"Names make news." Last week the following names made the following news:

Col. Charles Augustus Lindbergh recently called on Postmaster General Harry Stewart New. He saw a bust of himself standing on the mantlepiece, looked at it with a pained expression, said: "Don't like it. Makes me look like a high school debater."

Charles Augustus Lindbergh, as he

dined formally at the Englewood, N. J., home of Ambassador Dwight Whitney Morrow, heard a motor horn tooting madly for help. Turned over, was a car in a ditch opposite the house and in front of the Englewood High School where Elizabeth Morrow, his hostess, eldest daughter of the Ambassador to Mexico, teaches. Out he went without hat or wrap to help Englewood natives extricate the hapless motorist. That done, he returned, happily unrecognized, rumpled & maculated, to the Morrow dinner.

Gloria Caruso (8-year-old daughter of the late tenor, Enrico Caruso) was awarded an income of $12,000 a year for her maintenance and education, by Chancellor Edwin R. Walker of a Trenton, N. J., court. The moneys will be paid by the Victor Talking Machine Co. as part of the royalties from her father's records. Since his death in 1921, these royalties have totaled $741,449, of which $422,981 were proceeds from the year 1921.

John Wilson Snook (warden of the Atlanta penitentiary) selected from his flock a new chauffeur--Josiah Kirby, famed swindler of Cleveland, Ohio, who is serving a seven-year term for using the U. S. mails to defraud. Mr. Kirby's Cleveland Discount Co. had dealt in mischievous mortgages to the extent of more than $1,000.000.

Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell, for 36 years medical missionary to Labrador fishermen, toured the U. S., took notes, then told a Montreal audience of his findings: "Whiskey is $10 a quart in Chicago. ... It is said that prohibition has been a failure in New York but I learned that societies which used to care for neglected children have closed their doors for want of something to do. Prohibition is the best thing that ever struck the U. S."

Frances Alda (soprano, wife of Giulio Gatti-Casazza, czar of the Metropolitan Opera Company) has no children, wants some. Said she: "In a few months I shall ask Miss Spence of the Spence School [Manhattan] to find me two adorable babies. I do not believe in the heredity jinx. I ask only that the babies be intelligent and healthy. I'll want them, regardless of parentage or legitimacy."*

The Hon. Edward John Stanley, 10, is a scion of the great English families of Montague and Villiers. He stands to inherit the Earldom of Derby from his grandfather. He knows that the Countess Derby, his grandmother, is Bedchamber Woman to Queen-Empress Mary.

One morning last week this august man-child whooped and gamboled at play in the garden of an Egyptian hotel near the great pyramid of Cheops. Nearby reclined a young woman, easing certain internal pangs with a hot water bottle. She, roused by the scion's arrogant, unbridled shouts, rose up and hurled the comforting rubber bag at the Stanley child. Striking his shoulder, the bag burst, and scalded him so smartly that a physician had to be summoned.

David Binney Putnam (1 4-year-old explorer, 6 ft. 1/2 in. tall, author of David Goes Voyaging, etc., Hotchkiss schoolboy) and his father, Publisher George Palmer Putnam, offered U. S. Boy Scouts four months of fun and an avenue to fame. They will select two youths, between the ages of 13 1/2 and 15, to go with them to Africa to observe animals with Hunter-Photographer & Mrs. Martin Johnson (Simba). The trip will begin on June 15, end in October. The two Boy Scouts will write a book about their doings, be paid royalties.

Sherwood Anderson, author of Dark Laughter, collects news from Coon Hollow, Spratts Creek, Troutdale, Marion and many another Virginian village, prints it in two weekly newssheets. When he bought the Smyth County News and the Marion Democrat (combined circulation, 5,000) he explained to whom it might concern: 'I am doing it primarily to make a living. My books have never sold." Last week Editor & Publisher Anderson confided to readers of the Democrat: "The trouble with us is that we have to write the whole paper, and make our living nights. You can't make money and have as much fun as we are having with these papers." Readers of the Democrat wondered when their editor's breadwinning novel would appear.

Peggy Hopkins Joyce, collector of husbands and jewels, purchased from Black, Starr & Frost of Manhattan the finest blue diamond in the U. S. Weight: 127 carats. Cost: $300,000.
