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

U. S. Senator James John ("Puddler Jim") Davis, director general of the Loyal Order of Moose, spoke to a Moose convention in Chicago. Said he: "One of the most significant developments . . . in the last quarter of a century is the apartment house. Few influences make the average person more superficial, nonchalant, and non-social." In Washington, D. C. he lives in a mansion.

Vacationing Pennsylvania Governor George Howard Earle & wife flew from London to Dublin on different airplanes. Explained Governor Earle, "It would be bad enough if our four boys lost one of their parents, but we didn't think it would be fair to run the risk of them losing both of us."

Upon the death of Dean Diederichs of the Cornell University College of Engineering, onetime graduate Athletic Manager Romeyn Berry (now editorialist of The New Yorker) wrote the following: I have worked with Herman Diederichs 20 years. Half the time I would have died for him and the other half I wanted to kill him. He did a thousand kindly acts in my behalf and never gave me a kind word anytime. He was a big soft-hearted Dutch sentimentalist who studied to be gruff so people wouldn't find him out. I'm still mad at him and this telegraph blank is wet with tears because he won't bawl me out any more.

To Manhattan went Tuskegee Institute's A. W. Curtis Jr., to raise $1,354,290 to build a laboratory dedicated to famed, slaveborn, seventyish Negro Botanist George Washington Carver-Said Mr. Curtis, "We want to build this laboratory honoring Dr. Carver while he is still alive. We want him to work in the laboratory so that we will have the benefit of his guidance and advice."

In the U. S. for a six months' rest was Hindu Jiddu Krishnamurti, onetime leader of the Theosophists. Said he, "In Europe men are acting like a pack of lunatics; talking peace and making ready for war. I just go on talking to people, trying to persuade them to break down the little walls they build around themselves."

Playing at Washington's Capitol Theater, famed good-looking Mimic Sheila Barrett included in her repertoire the well-known caricature of a virtuous Southern girl starting out for a big night in Manhattan, winding up drunk in a night club. After Miss Barrett had played the bit for five days, a lady member of the Georgian Society protested that the impersonation was "not a true picture of Southern women." Miss Barrett was promptly ordered to remove the bit from her act. She agreed: "I'm here to entertain people, not embarrass them."
