Names make news. Last week these names made this news: Englewood, N. J. friends of the Lindberghs reported that their new Scotch terrier Thor, when commanded: "Go take the little dog for a walk." seizes the leash of Skene, the other Lindbergh Scottie, marches it proudly around the estate. Into the new beauty parlor she was opening on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue Hocked the friends of Mrs. Howard Chandler Christy* for a housewarming. Tall, plump, blonde, Proprietress Christy was the famed illustrator's chief model for eight years before she became his second wife. Rumania's King Carol noticed Crown Prince Michael, 11 lording it over the public-school boys who share his work & play in the palace. Said King Carol: "There's one thing you fellows must understand. If any of you let Michael hit you without giving him a good hiding, you can look for serious trouble with me." Few days later Prince Michael turned up with a badly-bunged nose. Next day. while Carol of Rumania inspected a machine gun factory at Cluj, a General suddenly bawled an order with a voice like a bomb. The shout scared a soldier. The soldier twitched his fingers. His fingers jerked the trigger of a machine gun. B-B-R-R-R-AM ! A dozen bullets whizzed post King Carol's nose. In Rochester. Minn, four surgeons from famed Mayo clinic boarded a chartered plane shortly before 8 p. m., flew 500 miles to Detroit, motored 51 more miles to Chatham, Ont. behind a police escort, arrived at 1 a. m. Then they performed an emergency abdominal operation on Mrs. Fred M. Zeder, wife of Chrysler Corp.'s famed chief engineer. In a stateroom of the Santa Fe Chief, Mrs. John J. Mitchell, onetime Lolita Armour, whose cure from a congenital malformation of the hip by Vienna's famed ''bloodless surgeon," Dr. Adolph Lorenz, made huge headlines in 1902, waited nervously for the train to take her from Chicago to her summer home in Santa Barbara, Calif. With her were a Negro nurse, a quantity of milk, a newly adopted son aged five months. In the corridor stood Husband Mitchell, discovered by newshawks despite the best efforts of railway officials. While Mrs. Mitchell pounded on the stateroom door, shouting to him to say nothing, Mr. Mitchell said he had "no idea" what the baby's name would be, boasted: "He's perfect, but he'll be more than perfect when we get some California sun on him." Meanwhile Mrs. J. Ogden Armour described her adopted grandson as "rather tall, with brown eyes, scarcely any hair and a particularly engaging smile." Said she: "Already he has entangled himself in the heartstrings of all of us." At Watch Hill, R. L. on a rented seaside estate, Libby Holman Reynolds considered the town's eight policemen, then ensured the safety of her six-month-old son by engaging six armed guards and a Great Dane. At an early morning "lineup" in Manhattan police headquarters appeared Author Andre Maurois (Ariel; Disraeli) led by Authoress Fannie Hurst. When police offered to demonstrate the efficiency of their radio patrol system by having two policemen call on Mme Maurois in her hotel room, M. Maurois cried: "Good heavens, no! To have two policemen suddenly appear in our apartment would terrify her." Miss Hurst next took M. Maurois to Harlem to see the all-Negro apartment house built by John Davison Rockefeller Jr., named for the late Paul Laurence Dunbar, Negro poet, and managed by Negro Educator Roscoe Conkling Bruce. "All the tenants are very proud of their homes,"explained Mrs. Bruce, "although we had the greatest times keeping some of them from hanging their washing out when they first came." Famed tenants: Negro Editor W. E. Burghardt DuBois & wife, Negro Dancer Bill Robinson & wife. The sightseers also heard about Harlem's "latchkey children" whose working mothers turn them loose during the day with keys on a string around their necks. The Dunbar establishment solves that problem by having a day nursery. In the apartment of a $64-a-month Pullman porter, M. Maurois peered approvingly at sets of Dumas, whose grandmother was a Negro, and de Maupassant. John Richard ("Goat Gland" Brinkley, Kansas radio "physician" driven from the air, asked another Kansan, onetime Vice President Charles Curtis, to represent him in a lawsuit over his Mexican station. "I like to be busy," said Mr. Curtis.

In Rome, Pietro Vernati, 33, sleek gentleman-husband of famed spaghetti-loving Coloratura Luisa Tetrazzini, 62, asked a court to make her stop spending money. Mme Tetrazzini wanted to sell her Roman apartment house, go to the U. S. to try a turn as a vaudeville singer as she did last year (TIME, Jan. 25, 1932). Husband Vernati, convinced his wife is now a "megalomaniac squanderer," was afraid she would not bring back enough to pay any rent. His evidence: she lately bought a mountain, near Grosseto, which she believed contained gold. In Paris, Rex Ingram (whose The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse made Rudolph Valentino famous) announced he would henceforth be known as Ben Alem Nacir Deen (Son and Savant of the Faith) because he had become a Mohammedan. Next month he will go to Morocco with his wife, onetime Film Actress Alice Terry, for study and contemplation. There six years ago he first felt the spell of Islam, started reading the Koran while recovering from an attack of nervous in digestion. Said he: " I recommend Mohammedanism to all American business men; it is a real philosophy of life, and teaches that works are not the only virtue." Mused James John ("Jimmy") Walker to the London Press: "I like the countryside of England. What I should like more than anything else in the world is a little farm here. . . . The tempo of this country is slower than America and suits me better. . . ." Embassy officials in London denied that Ambassador Robert Worth Bingham was dangerously ill, declared, "We must keep him quiet because when he moves about too much his temperature rises on account of a latent infection."

*Phenomenon of the twenties was the beautician business, rising to 40,000 beauty parlors taking in nearly $400,000,000 per year. During the Depression it was busier than ever in 50,000 shops. But dollar receipts declined. Example: a permanent wave costing $10 in 1929 costs $3 now.
