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

Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, wife of the Governor of Porto Rico, received from King Bao-Dai of Annam. (French Indo-China) a gaudy bauble, the Order of Virtuous Wives.

Edsel Bryant Ford's new yacht Sialia was launched at Neponset, Mass. Later this winter he may hoist the red-white-&-blue triangles of the Detroit Boat Club* and sail to southern waters.

Jane Addams, grey-haired Chicago settlement worker, walking across the dining room of Hull House, slipped, fell, broke her wrist.

Herbert Bayard Swope, retired Executive Editor of the New York World, and his wife, sued one James Reynolds of Yonkers, N. Y., for $100,000 and $75,000 damages respectively. In 1927 the Reynolds car ran into the Swope car, injuring Mr. Swope's nose, cutting Mrs, Swope's face, making them both nervous ever since. Testifying to the speed they were going, Colyumist Heywood Campbell Broun, who was riding to dinner with the Swopes, said: "When my wife [Ruth Hale] goes over 30 miles an hour I tell her to pull down." Testifying as to whether he had feared being late for the dinner, Mr. Swope boomed: "A dinner given by city people living in the country is a nonfixed feast as to time! I don't think we were expected before 8:30 or 9 o'clock!" For his nose he was given $3,000; for her face Mrs. Swope got half as much.

Enrico Caruso (1873-1921) rests in peace at Canessa Tomb, Naples, where he may be seen by visitors with special permission. Last week in Paris hard-singing Tenor Tito Schipa announced that the body would be exhumed and redressed by friends every three years so that Caruso might always appear fashionably garbed.

Roy Folger, insurance man, is San Francisco's favorite amateur entertainer. So well-loved is he that his friends recently gave him a business and a secretary to run it for him. Last week he was homebound (via New Orleans) on a coast-to- coast roundtrip given him by the Family Club, a San Francisco comity which each year bestows good things on some one. To Roy Folger they gave a transcontinental trip because he had never been out of California. He boarded an eastbound train and found that his own money was "no good" even to porters, dining car stewards, boot-blacks. They were all primed in advance. He traveled to Manhattan as the "guest" of railroad presidents, hotel owners, Mayor James John Walker and everyone he met. Friends scheduled every hour of his time, to luncheons, matinees, dinners, surprise soirees. In Washington he was received and cared for by his good friend and Palo Alto neighbor, Herbert Clark Hoover. President Hoover and other members of the Bohemian Club relish, among other famed Folger stunts, his dialog between two Chinese missionaries. Another famed Folgerism: preventing Morris Gest from making an after-dinner speech by appearing disguised as a voluble German waiter and claiming to be Max Reinhardt, the Miracle man.

Arturo Toscanini, conductor of the New York Philharmonic-Symphony, made known that he would sail for Italy next week to buy a castle on the Isle of Capri.

Mrs. Lolita Sheldon Armour, relict of the late great Meatpacker Jonathan Ogden Armour, and her daughter, Mrs. John J. Mitchell Jr., closed the affairs of the Armour estate in Chicago. The estate being insolvent for $2,000,000, Mrs. Armour and Mrs. Mitchell relinquished claims to loans for that amount. When he died (TIME, Aug. 29, 1927) the Chicago Journal of Commerce said of Meatpacker Armour: "He probably had the distinction of having lost more money than any man that ever lived."

Governor Morgan F. Larson of New Jersey, motoring by night from Trenton to Perth Amboy was startled as he passed through Princeton to have a rock crash through his car's window. Undergraduates swarmed about him, stopped his car, booed and jeered they knew not whom. Gravely Governor Larson got out, examined the shattered window, learned that the rioting students had just come from Cane Spree.* Goodnaturedly the Governor drove on, not waiting to see the students try to undress a besieged policeman.

*Other burgees which Sailorman Ford might break out if he wished: Grosse Pointe (Detroit), New York, Seal Harbor, Bar Harbor yacht clubs.

*Annual sophomore-freshman tussle supposed to replace inter-class fights. Divided into lightweight, middleweight, heavyweight classes, three bouts are held. Object: to wrest a heavy stick, grasped at each end, from one's opponent. This year sophomores won two of the three matches.
