"Names make news." Last week the following names made the following news:

Because Giovanni Fummi, his representative in Rome, arrived at Naples to talk business, John Pierpont Morgan abandoned a special-train ride to the archaeological diggings at Pesto (the ancient Graeco-Roman city of Paestum) and thus, with his yacht-guest, the Archbishop of Canterbury, missed the unearthing of a fine bronze satyr.

Mrs. Eugen Jan Boissevain (Edna St. Vincent Millay), poetess (Renascence and Other Poems, The King's Henchman, The Buck in the Snow), left "Steepletop," her home at Austerlitz, N. Y., to have some fun in Manhattan. She described her fun to the press: "Staying out until seven o'clock in the morning. It's just a round of 'pub-crawling.' Don't you like that word? I wish I had invented it!''

Clad in pink coat, white breeks and shining boots, Cinemacter Charles Chaplin rode out with the Duke of Westminster at Envermeu, France to hunt wild boar. Presently a boar broke cover, but there was no chase. The boar charged the comedian. When they were 100 ft. apart, someone else in the party brought the beast down with a rifle-bullet. That night Mr. Chaplin ate boar, declaring he liked it better on the platter than on the hoof. Next day, after several sessions with a masseur to ease limbs strained by his perilous riding, he cancelled a trip to the Grand National Steeplechase (see p. 24). Said he: "I feel that the mere sight of horses going over the jumps would hurt every bone in my body." Also last week, in Paris, France's "Chariot" was decorated with the ribbon of Knight of the French Legion of Honor.

Cinemactor Douglas Fairbanks, big-game hunting in India (TIME, Jan. 12; March 2), sent a runner to Calcutta with the news that he had shot three leopards, a tiger and, while riding elephant-back, a panther.

In Hollywood, Calif., for conferences over the cinematization of his book, The Iron Puddler, Senator (onetime Secretary of Labor) James John Davis was offered the leading part in the play. He declined. His excuse: he never had made love to anyone but his wife.

Paul May is the name of Belgium's new ambassador to the U. S., succeeding Prince Albert de Ligne-- He began his diplomatic career as an attache to the Belgian legation in Washington in 1896. Arriving to take his new post he said: "It has been my ambition all my life. . . ."

The Appellate Court in Chicago put an end to the eight-year fight of Lady Marguerite Hyde, Countess of Suffolk 6 Berkshire, and the daughters of the late Lady Mary Curzon, Mary Irene, Baroness Ravensdale, Lady Cynthia Blanche Mosely and Lady Alexandra Naldera Metcalfe to have Joseph Leiter of Chicago ousted as trustee of his father's $30,000,000 estate. Joseph Leiter's sister and nieces claimed that he had spent $7,000.000 too much in developing Wyoming ranch lands, that he was extravagant personally, having once ordered 50 doz. pairs of silk socks. He cried: "I am a hard-headed American businessman. While my sisters were going to Europe, marrying titles, I stayed by our property and managed it!" He proved that he had increased its working capital from $12,920,000 to $17,387,000 in cash.

Idaho's Governor C. Ben Ross issued a commission of Lieut.-Colonel in the National Guard to Paul Lambert Priest, aged four months, grandson of a friend.

British Poet Laureate John Masefield, arriving at Istanbul, told Turkish newshawks that Turkey's president, Mustapha Kemal, is "a greater man" than Benito Mussolini.

Speaking on Unemployment at the University of Pennsylvania, President Daniel Willard, Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, said: "I can think of nothing more deplorable than the condition of a man able and anxious to work, but unable to secure work. . . . While I do not like to say so . . . I would steal before I would starve."

In Tokyo Mile Alexandra Tolstoy, daughter of the late great Russian Novelist Count Leo Tolstoy, announced that the Soviet Government had peremptorily ordered her to return to Russia. She cried: "I have no intention whatever of doing so! The Soviet Government is oppressing primary school education . . . and is permitting terrorism against religion, dear to my father and myself. I have accepted an invitation from the Doukhobors* in Canada to go there and edit their newspapers, and I hope to spend the rest of my life in Canada."

*A much harried Communistic religious sect of Russians now sequestered in Western Canada where they have thrived and prospered.
