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

Mrs. Henry Ford, president of the Woman's National Farm and Garden Association, advised farmers' wives last week to build attractive roadside markets and sell produce to passing motorists. Speaking of a market of her own, she said: "The bright colors of the vegetables and fruit against the clean white background made it more easy to attract the eye."

Andre Citroen, French motorman, was again at Deauville Casino calling "banco suivi suivi." During an evening in which he lost $500,000, Madame Citroen kept chiding him. He kept retorting. They became a nuisance, were asked to keep quiet. Said Madame: "Messieurs, surely I have the right to protect my home against a madman."

Hugo Stinnes, son of the late Tycoon Hugo Stinnes, was arrested and jailed last week in Berlin, charged with attempting to defraud the German Government. His secretary, also arrested but later released, accused him of wanting to sell falsely registered war bonds.

Moulay Abd-el-Hafid, deposed Sultan of Morocco, last week recovered from the French Government his large estates in North Africa. A guardian was appointed, however, to keep him from becoming profligate.

Ernest Henry Schelling, children's musician, suddenly cabled from Celigny, Switzerland, that he would play a wedding march over the trans-Atlantic wireless telephone to Manchester, Mass., when Anne Pullen Dennett, a friend's daughter, was being married. Her parents, prudent, employed John Wallace Goodrich, dean of the New England Conservatory of Music, to play Mendelssohn's march right at the wedding, clearly and on time. Later the Schelling performance crackled from a loud speaker.

Archbishop Michael Joseph Curley of Baltimore, last week celebrating mass at his native Athlone, Ireland, had a greater pair of soloists than ever graced his Baltimore service. Tenor John McCormack (also born at Athlone) and Soprano Lucrezia Bori (born at Valenzia, Spain, but summering with the McCormacks) sang for the archbishop.

The late Frances E. Willard planted two saplings, 70 years ago, and cried: "As these two horse chestnut trees grow and spread their branches, so the cause of temperance shall grow and spread throughout all the world." Miss Willard was the founder of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. The two trees in the yard of her home at Evanston, Ill. (now the headquarters of the W. C. T. U.) did grow, and now they are rotting. Last week, tree surgeons were busy anointing, repairing and healing the two trees.

Evangelist William Ashley Sunday last week preached a "shortstop" sermon against Governor Smith's presidential candidacy. Theme: "Crooks, cork screwers, bootleggers, whisky politicians; they shall not pass--even to the White House." Place: Ocean Grove, N. J., Methodist seashore resort.

Matthew Luce, Regent & Director of Morals of Harvard University, last week closed the Harvard Liberal Club. Reason: discovery of one woman, many bottles.

Abbott Lawrence Lowell, economist, president of Harvard University, a millionaire, was chagrined last week. A Federal grand jury investigation revealed that swindlers had obtained $70,000 from him in farm loan frauds.

Charles Gates Dawes, 63, and his brother, Rufus Dawes, 61, and their families, went to Grand Manitoulin Island, Georgian Bay, Canada, to catch fish with their brother, Beman Dawes, 58. En route, in Milwaukee, Charles Gates Dawes said: "It looks like Hoover."

Maxim Gorki, 60, greatest living Russian novelist, was stricken at Leningrad, with appendicitis.

Baron Ehrenfried von Huenefeld, trans-Atlantic air passenger, recovered from an appendicitis operation, straightway enrolled in a flying school at Stuttgart, Germany.

George Palmer Putnam, publisher of Charles Augustus Lindbergh's book, We, was so impressed by the success of that book that he said to his friends: "Find me a 'lady Lindbergh.' " Amelia Earhart was found. She became the first woman to cross the Atlantic in an airplane. Last week, she took Mr. Putnam for an air ride from New York to Pittsburgh. Landing at Rodger's Field, her plane struck an unmarked ditch, turned over, was wrecked. Pilot Earhart and Passenger Putnam suffered no injuries. Said Passenger Putnam: "The accident occurred through no fault of hers."

Miss Earhart was last week appointed associate editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine (Hearst) to conduct a monthly department on popular aviation.

S. S. Van Dine, author of The Benson Murder Case, The "Canary" Murder Case, The Greene Murder Case, is not S. S. Van Dine. But he does wear a Van Dyke beard. Also he confesses in the September American Magazine: "I am 39 years old--oh. well, call it 40, since my birthday falls next month. ... I have written since the age of four, when a poem of mine was printed in my home paper. ... I attended seven different colleges here and abroad [including Harvard]. ... I came back to America on the last western trip made by the Lusitania, and went to a sanitarium for two months." In short, S. S. Van Dine is Willard Huntington Wright, critic and Smart Set's onetime editor, whose history may be found in any copy of Who's Who. He lives in Manhattan. "Recently," says he, "a bright reporter, who had read too much, oh, far too much! Sherlock Holmes, conceived the brilliant idea of visiting my home (I live in an old remodeled dwelling of many apartments) and checking up on the names in the mail boxes. There he found my own card in one box, and in another box the card of S. S. Van Dine. He twitted me gloatingly with the discovery, and proceeded to levy the most outrageous blackmail--which I paid. (I have since removed Mr. Van Dine's card from the mail box)."

Mr. Wright had been suspected of being himself, and also William Lyon Phelps, John Galsworthy, Dr. Joseph Collins, Pola Negri, George Jean Nathan, H. L. Mencken, "Ma" Ferguson, Carl Van Doren, Robert Bridges, etc.

Capt. Anton Heinen, builder of Zeppelins and the ill-fated U. S. dirigible Shenandoah, was made a citizen of the U. S. last week at Toms River, N. J. His examination score was 100%. He is now engaged in building two dirigibles for the U. S. Navy.

Francis Xavier Schwab, genial mayor of Buffalo, met austere Producer David Belasco for the first time last week, at the tryout of Belasco's The Big Fight (in which Pugilist Jack Dempsey is a star). The mayor, pleased, told his chauffeur to go out and get a gold key to the city. This done, Mayor Schwab solemnly said: "I present this key as a mark of esteem from Buffalo and hope, Mr. Belasco, that you will return here countless times with premieres of your matchless plays." Solemnly, Producer Belasco answered: "It is always a pleasure to come to Buffalo with new attractions. Your citizens are most critical and an opening night here tells me immediately whether or not my play is a success."
