"Names make news." Last week the following names made the following news:

President Homer LeRoy Shantz of the University of Arizona (Tucson) found lager beer bottles in the walls of his home, sent them to the Arizona Pioneers' Historical Society Museum. Helen Lee Eames, debutante stepdaughter of Henry Latham Doherty, potent oil-utility tycoon, ordered twelve Ford sport cabriolets which she will give to friends after painting silhouets on the cars "to personalize the owner's individuality." First car she embellished with horses & hounds, sent to sporting King Alfonso XIII of Spain who, last year, helped rescue a school friend of Miss Eames after she had suffered an equestrian mishap near Madrid. William Ashley ("Billy") Sunday,

67, seven years a professional ball player, 34 years an evangelist, 27 years a Presbyterian minister, was nervous last week as he exhorted impromptu in Manhattan's Broadway Tabernacle. Dr. Christian Fichthorne Reisner, Tabernacle pastor, explained the nervousness as due to Dr. Sunday's "eating nothing of consequence but toast."

When it became known that Sir William Watson, British poet (The Heralds of the Dawn, Selected poems), was ill and in penury, a national subscription was started for him. Some of the signatories: Hugh Walpole, Rudyard Kipling, John Galsworthy, Eden Phillpotts, George Bernard Shaw.

Nellie Porter Mitchell Armstrong (Dame Nellie Melba), 71, famed operatic soprano, arrived in Freemantle, West Australia, was too ill to debark, was taken off the boat in a cot at Melbourne.

Eastman Kodak Co. bought control of the interests in several color-photography processes developed over a period of 15 years by: Leopold Mannes, son of Violinist David Mannes, nephew of Conductor Walter Damrosch; and Leo Godowsky, son of Pianist Leopold Godowsky, brother-in-law of Composer George Gershwin. Inventor Mannes, Harvard-man, is a composer, teaches piano. Inventor Godowsky is a concert violinist, attended the University of California.

Maria Jeritza, buxom blonde Metropolitan Opera singer, instituted legal proceedings against Dr. Muller Guttenbrunn at Vienna because she thought that his book Riff Raff, which deals with a family continually embroiled in lawsuits, defamed her. When she first heard the book was being written she had the Viennese censor scrutinize it; when it was published she obtained legal authority for its confiscation. Her reason for believing the book was detrimental to her: the author is a brother-in-law of a maid whom she dismissed from her home in Vienna.

Amelia Earhart, 32, transatlantic flyer and her great & good friend George Palmer Putnam, 43, Manhattan publisher (divorced last year from Mrs. Dorothy Binney Putnam) were issued a marriage license at Groton, Conn. In Manhattan two days later Publisher Putnam said: "To marry Miss Earhart would be swell. But while it seems pretty definite that a marriage license has been issued, we have not been married and I cannot say when we will be." In Washington the same day Flyer Earhart said: "Let's not talk about the license. I can't be any more definite than to say that I probably will be married in the next 50 years. I'll allow myself that much time." Said Mrs. Frances Putnam, his mother, who had entertained them near Groton: "Where there's smoke, there's fire." Major the Hon. John Jacob Astor,
