(During the Past Week the Daily Prets Gave Extensive Publicity to the Following Men and Women. Let Each Explain to You Why His Name Appeared in the Headlines.)

Senator Robert M. La Follette: "My wife and helpmate issued a trenchant criticism of Army and Navy recruiting posters. Said she: 'They show only half the picture; the posters don't show a bunch of gobs with pants rolled up as they massage the decks; no picture is given of enlisted men blacking a looie's boots. Deliberately false advertising, that's what it is.' " General Pershing: "I issued an order that the Army should improve its style in correspondence. Conciseness, brevity, careful wording, correct paragraphing and the personal touch--these things make the perfect letter, and the perfect letter-writer." Battling Siki: "Because I punched the face of a waiter in a cafe, a Paris newspaper suggested that 'in the name of all organizations calling for good sportsmanship, Siki be captured, chained and sent back to his native Senegal, where he can enjoy himself with the rest of the savages." Florence Reed: "At a committee hearing on a bill to legalize Sunday theatrical performances I pleaded: ' Give us this blessed, precious 24 hours of rest on Sundays. Please don't take it away from us!'" William A. Brady: "I told the committee: ' No matter what laws are passed by the Legislature the actors will not work on Sunday. The actors have the most powerful labor union (the Actors' Equity Association) with which I ever came in contact.'" S. S. Kresge: "I applied for $5,000,000 life insurance and am asking that the commission of $150,000 go to a friend of mine. The only other $5,000,000 policy in this country is carried by Adolph Zukor, cinema potentate." President Harding: "I received three brand new straw hats from the National Association of Men's Straw Hat Manufacturers of America--a rough Sennit straw for daytime wear, a leghorn for motoring and golfing, and a smooth straw for evening wear." Lady Astor: "I introduced a bill into the House of Commons to prohibit the sale of intoxicants to persons under 18 years of age. Opposition led me to remark that one of my opponents ' seemed to be the village donkey.' I was called to order and withdrew my epithet." Andrew J. Volstead: "Having been defeated for re-election to Congress, I called at the White House to pay my respects before retiring to Minnesota to practice law. Photographers leaped from ambush in the shrubbery and chased me across the lawn. Surrounded, I hauled down my colors and submitted to a few 'shots.' "

Rear Admiral William S. Sims,

retired: "In a speech at Los Angeles I asserted: 'Most of the atrocities credited to commanders of German submarines during the war were propaganda. In all my experience during the war I heard of but one instance of a German submarine firing on an open boat.'"

Jack Dempsey: " I bought a controlling interest in the Great Western Coal Mining Company, a $3,000,000 Utah concern. I was elected President, and Jack Kearns, my manager, Secretary and Treasurer. As a boy I was a coal miner and my whole family is engaged in the mining business. We are going to build a mining camp and call it Dempsey City."

Dr. George Harding, father of the President and a General of the G. A. R.: "I visited the convention of the United Confederate Veterans at New Orleans and thanked them for the kindness with which the Southern people had treated my son. ' The South never had a better friend than Warren G. Harding,' said I."

A. D. Lasker, Chairman of the Shipping Board: In a telegram to The New York Times I denied that I ever suggested that President Harding should have a publicity agent. Said The Times: ' We hasten to make due correction.' "

Prince Gelasio Caetani, Italian Ambassador to the U. S.: "I declared in an interview: 'Half the American people think Fascism is a revolution and the other half think it is reaction. The Black Shirts are not as black as the Reds in Moscow paint them.'"

Harry F. Sinclair, oil producer: " Sixty of my stallions, brood mares and colts, including my $115,000 stallion, Inchcape, were burned to death when fire swept two barns of the Rancocas Stock Farm. The farm was founded by Pierre Lorillard, tobacco king, and last year the stable earnings were $239,503. Undaunted, I am still counting on Zev and Bud Lerner to win the Kentucky Derby."

The Right Rev. Dr. Mazziniananada, Bishop of the American Buddhist Church in San Francisco: "I declared that bv the time I am 100 years old the United States will again be wet. I am now 98."

Le Marechal Foch: "In May, the Polish Minister of War will meet me at the Czecho-Slovak frontier, and by President Wejciechowski's order, will make me a Marshal of Poland. Too-curious journalists say I am the real master of Poland."

The Maharaja of Nandod, State of Rajpipla: "Panic seized my guests and relatives when a family of panthers was discovered roaming my gardens. The family was finally exterminated by my guests."

Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy: " My double is going around the country. He makes purchases of beautiful clothing, which he causes to be sent to me. He pays with forged checks. He apparently makes no profit out of the transactions and I lose nothing except time and trouble."

John Hays Hammond: "In a

speech to women at Baltimore I came out against the League, against the World Court and in favor of a fact-finding commission to investigate Europe."

Edward I. Edwards, New Jersey's junior U. S. Senator: "Addressing the Society of Restaurateurs I boldly branded the prohibition law as ' damnable and impracticable.' The restaurateurs applauded me."

Arthur Lorenz, editor of The Illinois Staats-Zeitung: "Indicted on a charge of criminal libel for having referred to the American Legion as 'the refuse of the nation,' I am now under arrest. Sidney Spielman, formerly publisher of my paper, they have not yet caught."

Mrs. Clara Phillips, " hammer-slayer": I am said to be in San Salvador. The popular press has been hunting for me ever since December 5, when I escaped from Los Angeles County Jail."

George W. Wickersham, former Attorney General of the U. S.: Le Marechal Lyautey, French resident Governor of Morocco, entertained at Rabat a party of Americans, of whom I was one. Selected by the French-American Society, we are in Morocco to study the French Colonial Administration in Northern Africa. Among my mates are Colonel S. H. Church, President of the Carnegie Institute, and Professor William Milligan Sloane of Princeton.
