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

"General" Jacob Sechler Coxey, who started his march to Washington in 1894 with a band of 100 men and a bill proposing that Congress issue currency for road improvements under direction of the Secretary of War, arrived in Manhattan, said he was going to Washington to petition Congress once more.

" Charles A. Levine, millionaire junkman who flew the Atlantic in 1927 as Pilot Clarence Duncan Chamberlin's passenger, was arrested and jailed in Vienna on a charge of conspiring to forge French coins of small denomination. His explanation: he was having some little medals made resembling French coins with which he was going to surprise his U. S. friends at Christmas. With him at the time of his arrest was his good friend Mabel ("Queen of Diamonds") Boll who subsequently fled to Paris.

A report that Vincenzo Marchietelli, chef of Congressman Sol Bloom of New York, had chased Col.

Captain Spencer T. S. MacNeill of the Mauretania and Captain George Fried, famed rescuer, of the America went to rescue the sinking Swedish freighter Ovidia in mid-Atlantic. The Mauretania arrived, took off the crew; the America steamed up two hours afterward. Said Captain MacNeill: "She stood by, but I don't know why. The Manretania can do anything the America can." Commented Captain Fried: "I think it is much better to act promptly. . . . and hold discussions about it afterward."

Author Joan Erskine (Adam & Eve, Galahad) went to Chattanooga, Tenn., to lecture at the University of Chattanooga. President Alexander Guerry of the university went down to the station to meet him. Said Dr. Guerry to Dr. Erskine: "I asked one gentleman if he were Dr. Erskine and he said emphatically 'I should say not.' I asked a second man and he said, 'I wish I were.' That shows at least one man has read your books." "Yes, it does," said Dr. Erskine. "But which one?"
