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

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman,

famed physicist of Calcutta University, Nobel Prizeman last year (TIME, July 6) sorrowfully declined an invitation to lecture on his experiments in light at California Institute of Technology (where he visited briefly seven years ago). Reason: he is too poor. Said Sir Chandrasekhara: "i have little or no means of continuing my own studies and unhappily there is little realization in my own country of the importance of research. . . ."

Exiled from Paris by his doctors to avoid a nervous breakdown. France's Foreign Minister Aristide Briand found quiet refuge at his farm near Cocherel, Normandy. There on a small platform built over a branch of the Eure River. Brer Briand stays the day long in the shade of a tree, angling for perch and pike.

James ("Jimmy") Archer, oldtime famed catcher for the Chicago Cubs, is now a buyer in Chicago's Union Stockyards. Last week he saw two men tumble unconscious from the driver's seat of a truck whose cargo of hogs he was appraising. Aware that they had been riding in an enclosed cab, Buyer Archer guessed they had carbon monoxide poisoning, applied prone pressure (artificial respiration), revived both men in a half hour. The National Safety Council pinned its President's Medal upon Jimmy Archer.

Proprietor Frank Fischer of the barber shop in Manhattan's elegant Hotel St. Regis revealed that he had barbered King Prajadhipok of Siam and his entourage during their U. S. visit, and had received a testimonial of appreciation from His

Majesty's secretary Momchao Vepulya. His appointment occurred by virtue of long service to the family of the late Mrs. Whitelaw Reid at whose home, "Ophir Hall." the royal party stayed. Barber Fischer described a summons to "Ophir Hall" about ten days after the operation on His Majesty's eye, "to come up and shave His Majesty. The King, I may say, usually shaves himself. Now his beard had grown in the interim. I was aware that this would be a very difficult operation. ... I was ushered into a room almost pitch dark, a room about 60 by 40 feet. The King was in an easy chair far away from the window. ... I found he was not permitted to have a haircut, and I had to shave His Majesty on my knees. It was sheer necessity. ... At the end I was perspiring as freely as though I had been hard at it for four or five hours. When it was over His Majesty said with a smile. 'I imagine you are glad this is over.' And really. I was."

Edgar W. Warren II, shortstop and captain-elect of the Yale baseball team, was thrown from a speeding motorboat on Raquette Lake, N. Y. The outboard propeller gashed his left arm. After two blood transfusions two days later the arm was amputated. At Yale a movement started to retain him as baseball captain, with a lieutenant to direct play afield. His teammate Albie Booth, football and basketball captain, who was also a leading candidate for the baseball captaincy, hurried from New Haven to Warren's bedside.
