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

The day before Col. Charles Augustus Lindbergh arrived in Panama City, a colyumist on El Tiempo deplored that he had become "an instrument of imperialism. . . . The Lindbergh of today . . . translates, expands and fortifies the ambitions of imperialism. He is as significant in a spiritual sense as a Chicago sausage factory."

Mary Harris ("Mother") Jones, old-time labor crusader (TIME, May 5), received a congratulatory telegram on her 100th birthday from capitalist John Davison Rockefeller Jr., for picketing whose family's Colorado mines she was sent to jail 16 years ago. The message: ". . . your loyalty to your ideals, your fearless adherence to your duty as you have seen it, is an inspiration to all who have known you. . . ." Said she: "He's a damn good sport! I've licked him many times, but now we've made peace."

Mayor James J. ("Jimmy") Walker of New York left precipitately for Bermuda. So did Betty Compton, cinemactress.

Remembering the unpleasantness he endured during an attack of scarlet fever while at Phillips Exeter Academy, Thomas William Lament, Morgan partner, who was graduated from Exeter in 1888, gave the school a contagious ward to be added to Lamont infirmary.

"The world is only beginning to realize what we who love art have known all along, that Chicago is the city of destiny, that although our feet may be in the mire, our souls are peering into the beyond."--Sculptor Lorado Taft, addressing the Women's Chicago Beautiful Association.
