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

The Strohmeyer & Arpe Co. of Manhattan registered a portrait of the late King George V as a trademark for canned fish.

In Chicago Widow Ella M, Rainey realized $10,000 from the auction of the library of her late husband, Speaker of the House Henry Thomas Rainey. The quill pen with which Woodrow Wilson signed the U. S. Declaration of War against Germany brought $30.

Two days before her seventh birthday, Mary MacArthur made her stage debut unknown to the audience in the last scene of Victoria Regina, when, as Princess Ena of Battenberg, she walked on, spoke no line but curtsied to her mother, Helen Hayes, in the title role. Backstage afterward Actress MacArthur received telegrams, flowers, an unwelcomed reminder that her mother had made her debut at six.

Asked why he avoided social activities in Miami, vacationing Theatrical Producer John Golden quickly scribbled:

Please don't ask me to a formal dinner,

I'm here to work and get a bit thinner,

And what worse punishment can you name,

Than sitting next to some strange dame

For two hours, trying to entertain her,

While all the while you'd like to brain her?

The Merchant Tailors' Designers Association's choice of Franklin Delano Roosevelt as Best Dressed Man in the U. S. shocked President Raymond G. Twyeffort of the National Association of Merchant Tailors. As to the President's famed grey morning coat which delighted the M.T.D.A., N.A.M.T.'s Twyeffort declared: "He violated all rules by wearing that suit. . . . Not even the President of the U. S. is permitted to depart from conformity."

To Michigan's Democratic Governor Frank Murphy, New Hampshire's Republican Governor Francis P. Murphy telephoned: "We Murphys ought to get together. It's a great race." Thereupon each agreed to vacation in the other's State this summer. Chided at a North Carolina Democratic Club dinner for kissing Cinemactress Jean Harlow (TIME, Feb. 15), North Carolina's convivial Senator Robert Rice Reynolds declared: "It didn't compare with a North Carolina kiss."
