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

Wintering at Slick Rock, N. C., Mrs. Calvin Coolidge slogged through a 14-in. snow fall, returned in disgust to Northampton, Mass.

John Davison Rockefeller Sr., 96, was taking his longest automobile ride of the season along Florida's Daytona Beach last fortnight when he spied one Al Garb, a beach photographer who took his picture six years ago. Ordering his big maroon limousine to stop, Oldster Rockefeller peered out, asked Al Garb how much money he had made from the photograph. Al Garb chirped a figure. Cackling with delight, Oldster Rockefeller complimented him on his industry, posed for another photograph (see cut) with which last week Cameraman Garb made more money.

Ten months after he set to work at $25 a week in the Manhattan office of International Mercantile Marine Co. (TIME, April 1) John Jacob Astor III quit his job, was reported displeased with the shipping business as a career.

In great good humor Conductor Arturo Toscanini of the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Society was promenading the deck of the S.S. Lafayette as she steamed up New York harbor, when reporters clambered aboard to ask: 1) whether he was going to retire and 2) whether he had given his wedding ring to Mussolini. The Maestro, furious at both rumors, trembled, wheeled, bolted.

Wreckers began to raze the house at No. 50 Wimpole St., London, where Robert Browning courted Elizabeth Barrett.
