In St. Petersburg

Stone lions, tigers, llamas, elephants, jaguars, buffalo, deer, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, cows, mice, peacocks, giraffes, donkeys, badgers, wolves, gazelles, quaint monkeys, lightly hopping kangaroos, ingenuous but haughty ostriches and many other animals, made in Europe, will be used as street markers in St. Petersburg, Fla., the gift of generous C. Perry Snell.

"Name-In-A-Million"

At Sioux City, Iowa, Cigar-Store Manager E. H. Planalp of 1918 Jones Street boasted to newsgatherers that his was "a name in a million," being reversible. His Swiss grandfather had made it from the original, unwieldy Aubplanalp. "I've met lots of people," chuckled Mr. Planalp, "and I've been in quite a few towns and cities in the U. S., but I've never yet met anyone--with the exception of members of my own family, who can spell the surname backwards and forwards with the same result." Idlers suggested appropriate names for Mr. Planalp's children: Ada, Bob, Lil, Anna, Hannah, Otto. They could call Mr. Planalp "Pop," one jester added. . . . Manhattanites reflected that Mr. Planalp should some day call on James Leffel of 39 Courtland Street, their city; Philadelphians took satisfaction from the 16 double-actioned Reber families listed in their telephone book; San Francisco was complacent with six taxpayers named Renner. . . . Children quoted out of copybooks a statement they are taught to believe was first addressed to Eve: "Madam, I'm Adam."
