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

To the Son of Heaven, studious, introspective Emperor Hirohito, distracted Palace officials rushed with tidings that the Divine Monarch's youngest brother, His Imperial Highness Prince Sumi, 19, had just been bitten by a dog. According to official announcements both dog and prince were "detailed for observation" in Narashino Military Hospital but at latest reports neither had shown signs of rabies and Prince Sumi's wound was called slight.

Fabulous, enigmatic Cinemactress Greta Garbo (Gustaffson) began a vacation journey back to her native Sweden and the castle she bought from Ivar Kreuger's estate. In her old limousine she drove from Hollywood to Pasadena, where she hid from prying eyes in a bush with four bodyguards before making a spectacular dash for the Santa Fe train. Outside Chicago, she alighted in the railroad yards, set police and railroad men in a dither getting her a cab. Her next appearance was at Chicago's Union Station where she arrived ten minutes before train time, peeked around a corner, spied some newshawks, then loped on her lively 7AA's to her Pullman, pausing on the vestibule steps to fling her head and cry: "I'm so tired of it all!" Later she reappeared at her drawing room door to pose for pictures. Nearing Manhattan, she alighted with great secrecy at Newark to avoid a reception at the Pennsylvania Station totaling five reporters. Newshawks managed without much difficulty to catch and interview her as she taxied from Newark to a Manhattan pier where, with nother melodramatic dash, she sped up he crew's gangplank to the captain's cabin of the Kungsholm. Again shy Miss Garbo merged, sweeping her long lashes at her fellow passengers. Finally an 11-year-old wandered up to request an autograph. This time secretive Greta Garbo vanished for good. In Buffalo, Animal Trainer Clyde Beatty was threatened with arrest by the local S. P. C. A. if he did not stop "prodding and beating" his circus lions. Said the S. P. C. A. agent: "Lions are the nicest and bravest animals in the world." Retorted Lion-Scarred Beatty: "He is perfectly welcome to come into the cage with me and pet the kittens if he thinks they are so tame."

Only U. S. Naval Academy midshipman ever to win five "N-stars" for victories over Army, Fred ("Buzz") Berries of Louisville, Ky., took a re-examination in English, passed, graduated as No. 385 1/2 in his class. Day before graduation, Midshipman Borries stepped before the regiment, received from Rear Admiral David Foote Sellers the Navy Athletic Association's sword as the Academy's outstanding athlete. Following graduation Ensign Borries had his epaulets pinned on, was presented with a big hug & kiss by "Gussie" Mae Hanley of Washington, D. C.

So valuable is the life of Glenn Luther Martin to his business associates that they made him sign a pledge 13 years ago never to ride in an airplane. Last week Airplane Designer Martin received word that his 78-year-old father lay dying in Santa Ana, Calif. Builder Martin boarded a plane at Baltimore, flew across the continent to his father's deathbed swiftly but too late. Said he: "I felt justified in breaking the contract and company officials agreed."

Benito Mussolini's horse bumped him into a low-hanging branch which knocked him off, blacked his eye. Imperturbed. Il Duce attended a large reception at the British Embassy that night.
