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

Mused Mary Pickford in Chicago: "Women ought to learn that kindness is sometimes the most devastating and weakening influence. Wives especially make this mistake. There ought to be a school where women are taught to be reasonably selfish. It is the unselfish ones who ruin themselves and everyone depending upon them."

Maude Adams, 61, was rehearsing a radio adaptation of Sir James Barrie's The Little Minister, for "Pond's Cold Cream" hour over NBC.

In the Manhattan hospital where for three weeks he has been under treatment for shingles, Pennsylvania's long lean Governor Gifford Pinchot signed four State bills authorizing payment of $50,000,000 in bonuses to Pennsylvania's War veterans. "There are only two things I want to talk about," said he. "Roosevelt and my shingles. . . . Now about this shingles business. . . . You know the Administration's critics are something like my shingles. Shingles are microscopic little things--as a matter of fact you can't even see them under a microscope. You can't imagine how frustrated you feel at having something you can't even see under a microscope." As a Christmas card Governor Pinchot received a large board on which was printed: "Shingle bells! Shingle bells ! Shingles all the day ! Merry Christmas!" Gertrude Stein in Paris: "Republicans are the only natural rulers in the country. When a Democrat gets in he only does so because of the singular seductiveness which he possesses. Cleveland had it and Wilson had it. Roosevelt was honestly elected, but he is not half as seductive as his predecessors.''
