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

Louis W. Hill Jr., grandson of railroad pioneer, James J. Hill, and nephew of Queen Marie's entertainer, Sam Hill, was promoted to trainmaster of the Butte division of his father's Great Northern Railroad.

Baron Dewar, famed British whiskey distiller, has a new quip: "I am told that the infallible American method of testing bootleg whiskey is to drop a sledge hammer into it. If it sinks, the stuff is poor, if it floats, good, and if it dissolves, perfect."

Prince George, fourth son of Britain's George V, was assigned to the war boat Durban, last week, as "an interpreter in French." George V, the second son of Edward VII, was merely commander of H. M. S. Melampus when the death of his elder brother, now known as the Duke of Clarence, made him Prince of Wales, later King-Emperor.

Louis Henri Joseph Lucon, Cardinal-Archbishop of Rheims, 86, flew above and about his cathedral. Said he: "I should not have risked it before the War. People would have gossiped. . . . How beautiful, serene. . . ."

John D. Clark, president of Midwest Refining Co. of Denver, Col., director of Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, vice president of Pan-American Eastern Petroleum Co., announced that he would desert his business to take a post graduate course at Johns Hopkins University in law and economic research in order to fit himself for a permanent position in the profession of teaching.

Baron Ehrenfried Gunther von Huenefeld, trans-Atlantic flyer, has often written poems and essays, most of which remain unpublished. Having completed his flight to the U. S. he wrote no autobiography but a play which will be produced at the end of this month, in Dresden. The play's name is Dread of Good Luck.

Efrem Zimbalist, violinist husband of Singer Alma Gluck, had a reunion last week with his favorite violin--a rare 18th century Cremona, made by famed Guadagnini, worth some $25,000. The instrument was stolen a year ago from Mr. Zimbalist's dressing room in a Los Angeles concert hall. The thief was captured when he tried to sell his distinguished booty in Chicago. After being shipped to Los Angeles to be used as evidence, the violin was addressed to Mr. Zimbalist in Australia. It missed him there and missed him in Tokyo, Shanghai, Hongkong, Manila, Calcutta, Bombay, etc., Chicago, Manhattan. Finally at the end of 40,000 miles it found him, last week, in New Hartford, Conn.
