"Names make news." Last week these names made this news:
Part of the stock-in-trade of the British Statesman Winston Churchill on his current U. S. lecture tour, is the following proposition, outlined by him at his appearance in White Plains, N. Y.:
"What business has gained in America, politics has lost. The flower of American manhood does not go into politics but chooses industry instead. In England just the reverse is true, and very frequently English young men devote their lives unselfishly to improving the state of the nation.
"I think an interchange might work out very nicely. Let your young men run our business and we might lend you some of ours to run your government."
Because his Pasadena home had not enough privacy, Herbert Hoover Jr, bought an estate near the base of Mt. Wilson in California.
Asked to select the six prettiest girls of the Junior Class at Syracuse University, Artist James Montgomery Flagg wrote: "Sure--I'll pick out the prettiest gals-- if any--or if six. All sorts of colleges every year do this to me, salt water, fresh water and bilgewater colleges, and I have had to gaze on some of the most god-awful female mugs in this broad tho' narrow land! I know now why there are so many pretty gals in New York--all the ugly ones are in colleges. . . ."
Wilbur Glenn Voliva ("The Earth is flat"), general overseer of Zion City, Ill., observed his 62nd birthday by announcing his new diet: buttermilk and Brazil nuts only.
In his colyum of Washington chit-chat in the Scripps-Howard newspapers Reporter George Abell told how Dr. Erich ("Candid Camera") Salomon pointed his lens at a group of important Democrats jovially quaffing drinks in an anteroom at the Jackson Day dinner. Just as he snapped the shutter Dr. Salomon heard someone shout: "Hey, you can't take that picture!'' It was Governor Albert Cabell Ritchie of Maryland. Continued the Governor: ". . . But you can come in and have a drink."
