"Names make news." Last week these names made this news:

Atlanta neighbors of Asa Griggs Candlet Jr., Coca-Cola tycoon, threatened to go to court unless he removed his private zoo from its present site, just within the stone wall at the public roadside, to a remote part of his estate. Mr. Candler began collecting animals four months ago. In cages along the estate wall he placed a Bengal tiger, five elephants (including Rosie, world's largest), a pair of black leopards, a pair of lions (the female is expectant), a pair of llamas which recently had issue, deer, camels, Himalayan goats, zebras, Shetland ponies imported from Germany, eight bears of assorted colors, monkeys, chimpanzees, Japanese red-faced apes, 13 flamingos (one of the best collections in the U. S.), hundreds of birds, from Australian parakeets to American eagle. Practically all of the beasts & birds were acquired from Benson Animal Farms at Nashua, N. H. Neighbor W. B. McClellan, who resides but 100 ft. from the menagerie, heads the protesting property-owners. He caught one of the mon keys in his backyard recently. A woman visitor to the neighborhood found a chimpanzee occupying her parked automobile. Neighbors said the cockatoos were the noisiest. They could not discern which animals smelled worst.

John Jacob Raskob sold his million-dollar estate "Archmere" on the Dela ware River at Claymont, Del. to the Premonstratensian Fathers of St. Norbert College, Depere, Wis. A show place with a palatial manor house in which are five nurseries, the property will be made into a boys' preparatory school, named Archmere Academy. For a year the Raskobs have resided at their Centreville, Md. place. There the family occupies "Heart felt Hall." On the outside, beneath the window of each of the twelve children's rooms, is a medallion bearing the likeness of the occupant. The guest house is called "Mostly Hall" because it is that way.

Clarence Hungerford Mackay denied a report, persistent in his Long Island neighborhood, that he, unable to meet heavy taxes, had deeded his 250-acre Roslyn estate "Harbor Hill" to the Roman Catholic church, which was permitting him to stay on in his house at nominal rent. The estate belongs not to him, is trusteed to his son John.

Asked whether he would make a bid at the sale. Lawyer Bilbo snapped: "Will you supply the money?"
