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

Newsmen have acquired a curious habit of writing about Charles Francis Adams, Secretary of the Navy, as having "tears in his eyes." When they filed into his office last week to ask if he had resigned in a quarrel with the President over Navy policy (see p. 13), the dry-eyed Secretary said: "I have not resigned."

A disappointed newshawk: Can we say you banged the desk with your fists when you denied these resignation rumors? The Secretary: Yes--you can say I banged my desk--and you can also say there were tears in my eyes.

X-ray photographs revealed that the heart of Paavo Nurmi, Finnish distance runner, is three times normal size-- which, in an ordinary person, would indicate grave disease. The Nurmi heart requires so much room to work in that it makes a quarter turn each time the diaphragm pushes up in respiration.

To help fight unemployment Henry Ford put 650 men to work on his farm at $5 a day to dig 100,000 bu. of carrots with ordinary hoes. Said he in an interview: "Money is like an arm or a leg-- use it or lose it."

In an automobile crash near her husband's Roslyn, L. I., estate caused when her chauffeur swerved to avoid another car, Mrs. Clarence H-- Mackay, the former Anna Case, opera singer, was cut on the face and hand, severely bruised.

--Average size of heart in normal male: 5 in. long, 3^-2 in. wide, 2T/2 in. thick; weight, 9 oz.
