"Names make news." Last week these names made this news:

Hearing of Press-agent chatter that his brother-in-law's nephew Prince Ned Svasti, Princeton undergraduate, was thinking of marrying a New York dance-hall hostess, vigilant King Prajadhipok of Siam sent warning that Prince Ned Svasti must do no such thing.

Edward of Wales addressed an agricultural fair at Yeovil, England. "Fellow farmers. . . . The youth now takes to the roads on Sundays, and a couple of cutlets for father and mother are substituted for a whole joint of beef at the Sunday meal."

Guillermo, 21, and Fernando, 20, sons of President Pascual Ortiz Rubio of

John Barry Ryan, New York capitalist, father of ten, son & heir ($29,000,000) of the late Financier Thomas Fortune Ryan, was declared a judgment debtor by default to Tiffany & Co. (jewelers & silversmiths) for $75,005 for 330 items charged to his account in 14 months. Generous Mr. Ryan showers his friends with presents--diamond roosters, coral monkeys, oxblood coral Buddhas, zodiac charms, brooches, bracelets, a handbound copy of the encyclical on marriage to Pope Pius XI. Lately he bought 30 niblicks to give away. Absentminded, poetic, he forgets his bills (haberdashery accounts totalling $3,160.75 were also judged against him last week). Restored to health after years of invalidism he now spends much time at Piping Rock Club, writing verses which he has privately printed, distributes and reads to his friends. Near Piping Rock is the site of an oldtime Indian trading post which fires Poet Ryan's imagination. One day lately he was observed at this site, a quiet spot in the woods. His yellow Rolls-Royce (with burnished metal bonnet) was parked nearby. He was clad in a coonskin coat with Daniel Boone cap to match, sitting on the ground trapper-style, thoughtfully making a little camp fire.

Said Henry Ford in an interview for the New York Times: "We are here to work out something, and we go on from where we leave off. That's my religion, though I was brought up an Episcopalian. For myself, I'm certain that I have lived before, that I stored up considerable experience before the present stage, and that I will proceed to the next stage when this is finished. It's all trial-and-error, but based, I guess, on certain fundamentals."

The U. S. Board of Tax Appeals ruled that stock which Albert Russel Erskine had been allowed to buy from Studebaker Corp. at less than market prices was part of his salary as president, levied additional income taxes of $732,008 for the years 1923 to 1926.

Cried Dudley Field Malone, famed lawyer: "Jimmy Walker [see p. 13] is the whitest, most loyal, most honorable, most lovable character I have ever met!"

At a dinner at the West Chester (Pa.) Country Club to raise funds for the local Boy Scouts council Justice Owen Jose^ phus Roberts of the U. S. Supreme Court lighted a cigar, accidentally ignited his box of matches. Instantly Scout Jay Hook, 15 (who had that evening been elevated to the supreme rank of Eagle Scout) slipped from the room for his first-aid kit, bound up the Justice's scorched hand.

A bee stung the plump knee of Soprano Frances Alda while she was motoring on Long Island, caused her to crash into a tree, cracking two ribs.

A new book (American Rowing: Its Background & Traditions, by Sportswriter Robert F. Kelley of the New York Times) recalled that at a dinner after the first intercollegiate crew race on the Hudson at Poughkeepsie, Hamilton Fish Jr. (first Rough Rider killed in the Spanish-American War* ), No. 7 on the victorious Columbia crew, picked up Columbia's small coxswain Frederick Herbert Sill (now Priest-Headmaster of Kent School) and threw him across the table.
