(During the Past Week the Daily Press Gave Extensive Publicity to the Following Men and Women. Let Each Explain to You Why His Name Appeared in the Headlines.)

Edward of Wales: "In Paris, I visited an American dance cabaret. Despatches stated that I stepped out on the dance floor immediately and did fancy steps with Mrs. Bate [wife of one of the U. S. unofficial observers to the Reparations Commission] for 25 minutes straight, without rest,' that I requested favorite numbers including Some Sunny Day and You Gotta Kiss Mamma Every Night or You Can't Kiss Mamma at All. It was also reported that I am growing a tiny mustache."

Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, wife of Pennsylvania's famed Governor: "Scheduled to address a meeting of Republican women at Philadelphia, I declared myself to be 'distressed and mortified' because an attack of German measles kept me at home."

Andrew W. Mellon: "The will of one S. Harry Smith, War veteran, was made public. To me, he has bequeathed the wooden leg given him by the Government for the loss of his own leg at St. Mihiel. Friends of Mr. Smith said he resented a recent action of my Department in reducing his compensation."

William Lyon Phelps, famed Lampson Professor of English at Yale University: "In Scribner's for May I committed a pun. Wrote I: 'Well, the turtle has his merits; and it is on record that he won a race with a more gifted animal. I myself doubt it; at all events, I am certain that, whoever won the race, it was won by a hair.' "

Edwin F. Ladd, junior U. S. Senator from North Dakota: "Reports stated that during a session of the Senate oil investigation I hurriedly adjourned the hearing. Selden Palmer Spencer, senior Senator from Missouri, made emphatic objection. I turned sharply, shouted: 'Let me tell you, Sir, there is a real reason why I adjourned this hearing. I do not like that cigar you puff into my face!'"

Fred Stone, famed comedian: "I wrote a letter to my cousin Melville E. Stone, general counsellor of the Associated Press. Said I: 'For several weeks the thought uppermost in my mind has been the fortunate circumstance that we had in the Vice Presidency at the time of the death of President Harding a man of Presidential caliber. . . . Since I last saw you the Dawes report has been made public. ... It seems to me that the plan which General Dawes has worked out will bring stability and peace to Europe and an era of sound prosperity to this country. All of which suggests to me that in General Dawes the Republican party has the ideal running mate for President Coolidge.' Replied my cousin: 'While by all of the proprieties I am denied the privilege of taking any part in politics, I may say that you have not over-estimated the character of Mr. Dawes. He and I have been friends for more than 30 years.' " Samuel Ralston, junior U. S. Senator from Indiana: "In a letter to a boyhood friend I stated that I am not seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. 'But,' said I, 'if what seems impossible should happen, I will play the part of a patriot and perform my duty to the best of my ability.'"

Benny Leonard, world's champion lightweight pugilist: "A publicity bureau announced that I would play the lead in a cinema Flying Fists, that I have commenced rehearsing at a New York studio."

Alfonso, King of Spain: "In Madrid, I engaged in a polo match. Learning that Mrs. William Howard Taft was among the spectators, I held (between chukkers) a long conversation with her."

Sir Auckland Geddes, onetime British Ambassador to the U. S.: "In London, reports had it that I have decided upon a business career in lieu of politics. I was recently elected a director of the London Liverpool Globe Insurance Company."

Elbert Henry Gary, chairman, U. S. Steel Corporation: "At the annual stockholders meeting of my company held in Hoboken I predicted prosperity, denounced Congress, lauded Coolidge. Said I: 'The worst thing we have . . . is our American Congress. . . . Opposed to the acts and views of these members of Congress is a man in the White House, strong and solid and everlasting as the Rock of Gibraltar.' I later reported that Calvin Coolidge owns 50 shares of common stock of this corporation."

Feodor Chaliapin, giant voice: "My daughter, Lydia, now singing in London and Paris, was described as 'beautiful, black-haired, dark-eyed, wearing petunia colored satin.' It was reported that she would soon come to the U. S."
