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

Georges Eugene Adrien Clemenceau tried to buy an automobile in Paris, but an automotive sales manager insisted on giving him one. "France owes you too much. Let me pay my part of the debt," said the sales manager. M. Clemenceau accepted the automobile and sent a check for 10,000 francs ($400) to the factory where it was made, to be distributed among the most needy workmen.

Comtesse de Chambrun (nee Clara Longworth of Cincinnati, sister of Speaker Nicholas Longworth) was made a member of the French Legion of Honor, in recognition of her researches to explode the theory that Francis Bacon wrote the works of William Shakespeare. For the last 26 years she has been a resident of France and Morocco, where her husband, General le Comte Jacques-Adalbert de Chambrun, has been stationed for eight years.

John Pierpont Morgan sailed into the Golden Horn near Stamboul, Turkey, on his yacht Corsair. His cousin, Joseph C. Grew, U. S. Ambassador to Turkey, had arranged to have the daughter of a onetime Governor of Jerusalem take Mr. Morgan on a Turkish sightseeing tour.

Edna May Wilbur, schoolteacher, daughter of Secretary of the Navy Curtis Dwight Wilbur, was taking a hike with a girl companion in Yosemite Valley, California. They were having a good time, throwing snowballs and leaping down a rocky trail, until they found themselves on a ledge from which it was impossible to descend and dangerous to retrace their trail up the valley. It was midnight before a party of five rangers came to their rescue, hauled them up 100 feet with ropes.

Edward of Wales set a collar bone last week. The bone belonged to Captain Alexander of the Royal Navy who was a fellow competitor with H. R. H. in a point-to-point steeplechase at Oxton. When the Captain fell arid broke his bone, the Prince proceeded deftly to administer first aid, remarking: "I learned how . . . when I broke my own collar bone two years ago."
