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

On their way to chapel at Amherst College, where both are juniors, Henry Stuart Hughes, grandson of Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, and Charles Whitman Jr., son of New York's onetime Governor Charles Seymour Whitman, were shaken up but escaped injury when a truck bashed into the side of Undergraduate Hughes's automobile.

Hearing that a man in Montana was bragging about the antiquity of his razor, a 146-year-old English blade, Dr. Allan Chester Johnson, Princeton Latinist, announced that he was trimming his beard with a stone razor he found in 1910 under the bathroom window of the palace of King Minos of Crete, where it was first used circa 2500 B.C. Said Dr. Johnson: "It has a marvelous edge."

Blonde, 17-year-old Louise Booth Morley, daughter of Author Christopher Morley and a senior at Manhattan's Hunter College High School, took a three-hour examination given by the League of Nations Association to students of 1,248 high schools, made the best mark, won a trip to Europe.

When her husband died in 1895, Mrs. Eugene Field settled in Chicago with a tidy little fortune, a steady income from royalties accruing from the famed children's poet's works. In 1921. after fire damaged her house, she moved north to Heafford Junction, Wis., where she paid $60,000 for 155 woodsy acres with a barn, five cottages, a boxlike house of cement blocks overlooking Crystal Lake. To augment her income as royalties dwindled, she rented the land to farmers, the cottages to tourists. Pinched by Depression, she had to take out a mortgage, planned to pay it off with a $3,000 Home Owners Loan. Last week the loan was refused, her mortgage foreclosed. Given three days to raise the $3,000, 80-year-old Mrs. Field had a heart attack, was put to bed seriously ill. Desperate, her son Eugene II dispatched a letter to a St. Louis collector of Fieldiana who recently prevented the destruction of the poet's birthplace. Surprised to learn Mrs. Field was still alive, the collector gave the letter wide publicity. At once Phi Delta Theta, Field's fraternity at Knox College and the University of Missouri, collected the money, sent it to Heafford Junction an hour before Mrs. Field was to lose her home. Murmured tired old Mrs. Field: "So they've not forgotten us after all. I am very happy now." A London surgeon removed the appendix of Authoress Elinor ("It") Glyn, reported she was "doing as well as could be expected." Now in, her mid-sixties, Authoress Glyn will not tell her exact age. Planning a return to the stage, blonde, pouting, oldtime Cinemactress Mae Murray, whose figure remains slim despite her 47 years, called in Manhattan newshawks, told them: "I have always felt my body to be beautiful and have kept it that way by never allowing myself to have an ugly thought about it." In Manhattan Edward Segal settled for $25 his $1,000 suit against the American League Baseball Club because a ball batted by George Herman ("Babe") Ruth hit him at Yankee Stadium in 1934. To the defense that some might consider it an honor to be hit by the world's homerun king, Justice Lester Lazarus sniffed : "No doubt, but the plaintiff could not appreciate the honor, as he was knocked un conscious."
