(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.)

Rudyard Kipling: "I wrote an inscription and epitaph for a monument which the town of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, is erecting to the 350 men from that place who fell in the War. My contribution concluded: "From little towns in a far land we came

To save our honor and a world aflame; By little towns in a far land we sleep, And trust those things we won to you to keep."

Theodore E. Burton, Congressman from Ohio: "The keynote speech which I made at the Republican National Convention found little favor with Percy Hammond and Franklin Pierce Adams, two famed Manhattan colyumists. Said Hammond: 'The keynote speech of Congressman Burton. . . an aged man, was a complete assemblage of all the honest and senile platitudes. . . It was the longest, dullest speech that I have ever heard.' Said Adams: 'Over the radio, applause for a platitude sounds even sillier than it does when you're one of the applauders yourself."' . . .

Francis B. Sayre, son-in-law of Woodrow Wilson: "The Harvard Law School (of whose faculty I am a member) extended my leave to live in Siam another year and serve as adviser to the King on international law."

G. B. Shaw: "In an address before the English Association in London, I deplored what I characterized as the increasing use of 'parrot talk' and the 'mumble mumble' of hostesses. I pointed out that parrots learn words and phrases distinctly at first, but gradually modify them so that they eventually become unintelligible to all except those who hear the parrots speak daily. 'What you ought to aim at,' said I, 'is to speak English that will be intelligible to foreigners. It is not sufficient for us to be intelligible to one another.'"

Edsel Ford: "At 'Ox Hill,' Seal Harbor, Maine, a beautiful new $2,000,000 house is rapidly going up. When completed, it will be my summer home. Perched on one of the highest hills in the locality (a veritable mountain), the building will be made of faced granite hewn from the ledges on the side of the mountain. It affords a full view of the ocean and in the near distance are such places as those of Dr. J. B. Murphy, famed pathologist, and Ernest B. Dane, of Brookline, Mass. These places are noted for their scenic grandeur."

Colonel John C. Coolidge, father of the President: "It was reported I sent to the Republican National Committee the following telegram in response to an invitation to be present at the Cleveland Convention: 'Telegram received. Thanks. I cannot see my way clear to go to the Convention.' Newspapers pointed out that this message was a few words longer than one which I wired to a Dinner Committee in Massachusetts that was engaged in promoting my son from Lieutenant Governor to Governor. In that message I said: 'Gentlemen: Can't come. Thank you.' " Luis Angel Firpo, Argentine Ape: "My father was released from the private insane asylum in which he has been held, being declared of sound mind. The release was ordered by Judge Llavallol following an appeal in which my father stated that he had been unjustifiably detained in the asylum at my instance." George V, King of England: "At Aldershot, I left the parade grounds on my charger after reviewing the troops. The horse became frightened at the cheering crowds. He bucked and nearly collided with a horse ridden by the aged Duke of Connaught alongside the Queen's carriage, and I was forced to abandon the procession and to turn him back and ride him home along a quiet route. Said the newspapers: 'The incident recalls the time the King was thrown from his horse in France during the war and was painfully injured.'" William McFee, famed British author: "In a Commencement address at Monticello Seminary, Godfrey, Ill., I made a few remarks in opposition to those magazines of Big Business, known as 'house organs.' Said I: 'One of the features of national intensity which is most open to criticism is the thing called a house organ, which is now unescapable in modern life, designed to focus the collective energy of large enterprises and coordinate the zeal of their departments. These journals are keys to strange chambers in the industrial soul of America. I forget what this particular magazine was run for--let us call it the organ of the ventilated mouse-trap trade. After reading a few issues you gather that, in the opinion of the protagonists, the Government, Federal, State and Municipal, the universities and colleges, the foreign policy and the provisions of the tariff and international law, should all be administered to the advantage of the ventilated mouse-trap trade. You perceive that the discovery of distant regions, the creations of works of Art, Music or Literature are but casual exploits compared with the work carried out by the sales force of the ventilated mouse-trap trade.'"
