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

Heinrich Hagenbeck (Hagenbeck Circus, Hagenbeck Zoo) completed last week his advisory remodelling of the Detroit and Toledo zoos, sailed for Hamburg. Said he: "The U. S. has the rarest collection of animals in the world."

Pope-baiter's son, James Thomas Heflin Jr., was removed last week from a ship of the Panama Pacific Line to the Samaritan Hospital, Panama. He suffered from "acute indigestion." His cabinmate, Utah Representative Elmer O. Leatherwood, nevertheless asked for different accommodations, said young Tom-Tom had been drunk every day since he left Manhattan.*

After one lesson, James Joseph Tunney, last week slew an old and feeble bull at one sword-thrust on the estate of Matador Algabano in Seville. Natives screeched their glee.

Frances ("Peaches") Browning, nee Heenan, juvenile half of a disgusting age-and-youth sex case, last week finished a lucrative vaudeville tour and prepared for an all-summer European holiday. Her companion: Mother Heenan.

Gifford Pinchot, onetime Governor of Pennsylvania, sailed last week from Brooklyn in his schooner, the Mary Pinchot, bound for the Caribbean, Galapagos, Tahiti. With him were his wife and son, Gifford Jr. An hour after he sailed he had to return. Reasons: ammonia fumes were escaping from a pipe in the refrigerating system, the telegraph system between the captain's cabin and the engine room was out of order. Three days later he sailed again. No mishaps interfered.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who in his Arctic explorations often ate nothing but meat, last week completed in Manhattan a year's intensive meat-eating (no vegetables). Physicians of the Russell Sage Institute will report their findings in six months. Said Explorer Stefansson: "I feel perfectly fit, am wide awake, and am more aggressive. . . . I slept well and developed lots of brand new ideas. You know, I deal in ideas now--I have passed the stage where I have to carry them out." Explorer Stefansson is 49.

Maria Jeritza, darling of Vienna, wanted a gold-brocaded dressing-room. At her own expense she ordered one at the Vienna Staatsoper. Last week, arrived at Vienna, she found no gold dressing-room, fell sick. Performances were postponed. The press blamed not the sickness but the unfinished dressing-room. Decorators were hurriedly corralled. Jeritza improved.*

Because Geraldine Farrar (first singer to have her own permanent dressing-room) no longer sings in opera, because she is no longer the black-eyed, hoydenish Carmen or the pale, forsaken Butterfly, there is a tendency for many to regard her as a singer of bygone days. That Farrar still sings, however, that she still pursues an active career was proved by last week's account of a season's stewardship. She has covered a 21,000-mile concert tour which began in Manhattan, went through Canadian cities, through Manhattan again to Chicago, the Pacific Coast, back through the South. Often she gave three concerts a week, sometimes two a day. Last week fatigued, she arrived in Manhattan from New Orleans on the S. S. Momus. In May she sails for France.

Pope Pius XI cautiously emerged from the Vatican, for the first time last week, but went no further than the little church, which is within the boundaries of the new and tiny Papal State. Thus he signalized that he is no longer the "Prisoner of the Vatican," but did not set foot in Rome or Italy. This will come later. Meanwhile the office of Benito Mussolini was blessed, for the first time, with the benign approval of His Holiness.

Antoine, famed Parisian hairdresser, last week issued a quasi-dictatorial prophecy: "Hair will remain short." Hairdresser Antoine has already built his own tomb over which rise the figures of bobbed-haired women, symbolic of a freed soul. His latest inspiration: ancient Greek and Roman coiffures.

When the late, great Cleveland Hoadley Dodge died, one of his uncompleted plans was to raise a $15,000,000 endowment fund for the Near East Colleges (Athens College, Robert College, American University of Beirut, Constantinople Woman's College, International College of Smyrna, American College of Sofia). Last week, as a Dodge tribute, Manhattan Philanthropist Edward Stephen Harkness promised $1,000,000 if the fund reached its quota by July 1. Still lacking is $2,500,000.

The body of Frances St. John Smith who disappeared Friday, Jan. 13, 1928, from Smith College was found last week in the Connecticut River. Dentist Carleton Woods of Pelham, N. Y., identified the teeth.

Karakhan of Kazan is a lithe, "lemon tawny" Mongol, an influential leader of Red Russia. So far he is unknown to the world, but in 1933 he will be the fiendish generalissimo of a "war of the races." His armies of yellow, black and brown men will be told to possess their white women captives, to CONQUER AND BREED. He will be subdued only after threats of worldwide miscegenation.

So writes famed War Correspondent Floyd Gibbons in a serial, Red Napoleon, which began, last week, in Liberty, nickel weekly.

H. Gordon Selfridge, London's department store tycoon and pioneer, staunch supporter of the Channel-tunnel plan, has played host for eight years in famed Lansdowne House, Berkeley Square. Last week the Lansdowne family sold its House for $3,750,000 to Architect Benson Greenall, who was suspected of grossly commercial designs.

Secretary of State Henry Lewis Stimson cabled last week to his onetime Philippine home, asked that Old Soak, his Chinese-speaking parrot, who, lonely, no longer whistled for visitors, be sent to him. Mrs. Stimson, however, threatened that Old Soak could have no Washington house room. Graciously, Mrs. Herbert Hoover offered White Houseroom.

*In Washington, Senator Heflin has been accustomed to accepting the following explanation of his son's illnesses: "Father, those Catholics have been poisoning me again."

*But Soprano Lotte Lehman, Vienna's other darling, sickened, as she often does when Jeritza returns.
