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

The Right Rev. James Henry Darlington, Bishop of Harrisburg, who recently advanced 13 peculiar "joys" which young men could secure by taking Holy Orders (TIME, Feb. 20), spoke, in Manhattan upon this topic: The Holy Comforter, or Vision and Supervision. Said he: "We have many saints in our higher offices today . . . there are many flapper saints in short skirts. . . . We should all try to get back to the childhood spirit. . . ." In addition, Bishop Darlington asserted that only one person in 500 communes "directly" with the Holy Ghost; that he would introduce jazz music into services if he thought it would bring many people into church.

Carl Sandburg, famed Chicago poet

(Smoke and Steel), and biographer (Abraham Lincoln, The Prairie Years), in Boston, his hair falling in a "harmlessly affected manner to give the man an air of privacy," gave a reading of his works in accustomed eccentric style. A large guitar was hung around his neck; at the end of his reading, he took this and strummed it while he sang old songs about the West.

Cyrus Hermann Kotzschmar Curtis

(publisher of the Ladies' Home Journal, Saturday Evening Post, etc., etc.) uses pretty-girl covers for his magazines. Such covers are usually inspired by pretty models. Such a model is Miss Peggy Burns of Philadelphia, Pa., who last week on her 21st birthday inherited $500,000 from her grandfather. Said she : "I am not going to quit work. I like my work." One of her first acts after receiving the inheritance was to collect $100 from an artist for posing for the cover of the current Ladies' Home Journal.

Manuel Alonso (onetime captain of the Spanish Davis Cup team, fourth ranking U. S. tennis player) has accepted a position in the export department of the American Car & Foundry Co., of Manhattan. With the vice president of the company, he sailed last week for South America, will also play tennis in Europe, before assuming desk duties next autumn.

William Randolph Hearst wrote a letter for publication in his 25 newspapers on January 30, stating that he was "distinctly and definitely opposed to any representative of our newspapers or news services receiving any decorations or honorarium from any foreign government, except for patriotic service rendered America's allies in time of war." Last week, Moses Koenigsberg, president of the International News Service, Inc., and other Hearst syndicates, was decorated with the Cross of the Legion of Honor of France at the Manhattan home of Jeweler Pierre Cartier, forthwith resigned all his offices with Mr. Hearst. It is believed his salary had been $75,000 per annum. William Franklin Knox, New England newspaperman, replaced him.

John J. Raskob, chairman of the finance committee of the General Motors Corp., vice-president of E. I. du Pont de Nemours Co., onetime $1,000 a year secretary to Pierre S. du Pont, gave $500,000 toward a fund of $1,500,000 for advancing the Catholic Church in Wilmington, Del. If other Catholics contribute a like amount, John J. Raskob will duplicate his first gift and complete the fund. These are not John J. Raskob's first gratuities to the Roman Catholic Church. Recently, Pope Pius XI made him private chamberlain in the papal menage.

Emil Ludwig (biographer of Napoleon, Bismarck, Wilhelm II) neglected to fulfill a lecture engagement in Milwaukee, Wis.; went to Daytona Beach, Fla., to visit John D. Rockefeller; watched the 88-year-old oilman play golf; said, "When I return to Germany I may write a sketch of Mr. Rockefeller." Mr. Ludwig recently let it be known that he considered the four greatest living U. S. persons to be Thomas A Edison, Jane Addams, Orville Wright, John D. Rockefeller.

Michael Joseph Curley, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Baltimore, recovering from pneumonia in a Baltimore hospital, was disturbed and annoyed by the description of a most lamentable event. A henchman had opened the Archbishop's safe to ascertain the presence of the gold chalice, inset with jewels, which the Catholics of Baltimore had given to the late Cardinal Gibbons on the 50th anniversary of his ordination (1918), also, the presence of the diamond-studded handle to another chalice, the gold cross of Archbishop Curley's chain, his watch, and $90 in currency. These things were not, as they should have been, inside the safe. A thief or vandal had "jimmied" its door and taken them away.
