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

Belle Livingstone, aged scofflaw who was sentenced to 30 days in jail for bootlegging in her swanky three-story saloon in Manhattan's 58th Street (TIME, Feb. 16), opened a new resort outside Reno, Nev. Converted from a dairy barn, the place is decorated with pictures of monkeys; a troupe of dancing Negresses perform monkeyshines. In a nearby outhouse there is a bar.

Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, wife of Pennsylvania's Governor, applied for permission to carry a gun, explained: "I travel at night a good deal."

Columbia University's bibliography of works published" by members of the university community during the last year showed that President Nicholas Murray Butler was the most prolific scrivener of them all. His 100 manuscripts--ranging from verses written for Manhattan's smart, democratic Lotos Club to an address before the German Reichstag-- outstripped in number the voluminous writings of Chairman George Woodward Wickersham of President Hoover's Commission on Law Observance & Law Enforcement. (Chairman Wickersham is a trustee of Barnard College, Columbia unit.)

Guillermo, 20, and Fernando, 19, sons of President Pascual Ortiz Rubio of

Mexico, concluded their summer jobs with International Telephone & Telegraph Corp. in Manhattan. They said they had lived on Staten Island within their $100-a-month salaries, entertained themselves modestly with occasional visits to cinemas and trips to Coney Island (funpark) until their last month in town. Then a mishap befell them, upset their finances. "We went to a place with some girls," said Fernando, "and ordered wine. We didn't think that would cost much. But the waiter brought champagne, and after that the girls ordered more. The evening cost us $95. American bandits are worse than the American conception of Mexican bandits."

At Bucharest, nine-year-old Crown Prince Michael of Rumania passed his third-grade examinations with an average of 98.7%.

Mrs. John Gellatly went to court in Manhattan. She was being sued for $660 in back rent. Her estranged husband, a 78-year-old dandy in a blue jacket, flowing red tie and handlebar mustaches, was also present. He is the John Gellatly from whom in 1929 Congress accepted a $4,000,000 art collection--Whistler, La Farge, Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, George Inness, John Noble, J. Alden Weir, a fine collection of porcelains and 16th Century jewelry--for the Smithsonian Institution's National Gallery. He used to keep his collection,in a private gallery in Manhattan's arty Heckscher Building, did not invite the public. His money came from his first wife, Edith Rogers, who left him the site of the old Holland House. He testified that his art had been almost his all, he now possessed only an annuity of $3,750. He would not, could not, keep the second Mrs. Gellatly. The Horrible Hemingways is the

name of a young people's fun-having club in Los Angeles which last week had a party at the Town House, smart night club. Horrible Hemingway parties are contrived by demanding money from adult members, most of whom are elected to membership primarily so that they may be assessed. Ability to amuse is also considered, the club's only by-law being that if a member is called upon to entertain and either refuses or fails to perform, he is automatically thrown out. Some Horrible Hemingways: George Newell Armsbyt vice president of Bancamerica-Blair Corp., and his brother James, San Francisco canner; Reginald Vaughan, San Francisco attorney; James John Walker, Mayor of New York; Cinemactors Jack Holt and Ernest Torrence; Con Conrad, song writer, who supplied the words for the Hemingway anthem : We are the Hemingways The Horrible Hemingways We'd rob the blind man of his cup Or steal a baby's milk You'd think we're on the up and up But we're as smooth as silk. (Chorus) We are the Hemingways The Horrible Hemingways We'd steal an orphan's pocketbook Or rob a widow's mite The Horrible Hemingways -- That's We! When aged Oilman Edward Laurence Doheny sought to become a Hemingway, he was firmly blackballed. Undaunted, he gave a party. Knowing that the object of the Horrible Hemingways is to insult, dis tress, embarrass and in all ways annoy one's acquaintances as much as possible, he had the floor waxed so smooth that no one could stand up. He was elected. His daughter-in-law and granddaughter are also members.

Origin of the Horrible Hemingways was the revival in Los Angeles of several old-time melodramas in which, it was noticed, most of the villains were named Hemingway. The charter members and founders were three disgustingly fresh young men who hate everyone, who trip up old ladies on stairs, wrest candy from children, push invalids down hills in wheel chairs and take away cripples' crutches. Most Horrible (official title) is Alan Brown, sophomore at Pomona College. The other two: Robert Forbes, sophomore at Stanford; Parley Johnson, student at Harvard School, Los Angeles.

Mark Sullivan, political pundit for the New York Herald Tribune, learned that a dapper young man had been using his name in New England this summer. He wrote a warning letter to his newspaper. Excerpts:

"The young ladies whose romantic imaginations have been stirred by the ambulant and temporary borrower of my name can relieve themselves of present mystifications and suspense, and relieve me of the embarrassment of unsought affections, by turning to Who's Who, which faithfully and accurately records that I am already provided with an adequate wife, as well as a family and will be 57 years old on the loth of this month.

"To the young lady who works in a Hampshire County bank and suggests a vacation week of exhilaration in the White Mountains when the leaves are red and the air sparkling, I should like especially to express my regret that the only dates I am just now able to permit myself are with an osteopath (male), who has undertaken to correct a tendency to senile lumbago."

At Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Oilman Harry Ford Sinclair sold his entire string of 25 racehorses for the disappointing price of $81,300. He still retains his crack breeding farm at Jobstown. N. J., where lives Zev, winner of the 1923 Kentucky Derby. Reason for the Sinclair sale: Last month Saratoga race stewards looked askance when the Sinclair entry in the Burnt Hill handicap was discovered to be poisoned. They declared Sinclair's trainer responsible, but not culpable, for the horse's condition, barred the Sinclair stable from entering horses in races overnight.

Ill lay: onetime Fisticuffer James J. ("Gentleman Jim") Corbett (who won the world's heavyweight championship from John L. Sullivan 39 years ago this week), of an intestinal ailment, in Manhattan; Viceroy Lord Willingdon of India, of dysentery, at Simla; bankrupt Theatrical Producer Arthur Hammerstein, of a ruptured bladder, in Manhattan; Cinemactress Constance Bennett, with adhesions after her appendectomy of last year, in Manhattan; famed Scientist Sir David Bruce (discoverer of the cause of Malta fever, namesake of the bacteria group "Brucella"), in London; Queen Marie of Rumania, of a female complaint due to her age (55), at Bucharest.
