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

"To see what the effect would be," James ( "Jimmie") Donahue, Woolworth 5-c--&-10-c- heir, cousin of Countess Barbara Hutton Haugwitz. stepped onto a balcony of his Rome hotel, shouted "Viva Ethiopia " squirted a syphon of soda water at a group of young Fascists. Effect: two Government agents presently escorted Playboy Donahue to the Italian frontier.

Again arrested for speeding (65 m. p. h. in Hampton, N. H.). Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr. again forfeited bail ($15).

Driving alone in Los Angeles Newlywed Senator William Gibbs McAdoo of California, 71, swerved to avoid another car, crashed into a telephone pole. His injuries: fractured wrist, bruised chest, six-stitch nose gash.

Crossing a Swedish bog during an elk-hunt, a royal Swedish horse lost its footing, sank, threw 77-year-old King Gustav V. Pulled out of the bog, His Majesty sucked a bruised finger, quipped "When one is young these things don't matter." William Edward Dodd, U. S. Ambassador to Germany, sent by airplane from Berlin to Moscow a package of hominy grits for silver-whiskered Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois recuperating from pneumonia.

Found floating face-down in Long Island Sound off a beach at Larchmont, N. Y. was Mrs. Ada Alden, 79, poet, widow of Editor Henry Mills Alden of Harper's mother-in-law of the late Poet Joyce Kilmer, who dedicated "Trees" to her. Pulled ashore, revived in ten minutes, chipper Mrs. Alden wrote a 35-line poem about her experience, promised to keep up her daily swims.

On complaint of a party of Indian trappers, Dr. James Alexander ("Bud") Stillman was haled into court at La Tuque, Que. On vacation last spring he was hunting on his Canadian preserve when he came upon the Indians loaded with fresh skins and living in one of his camps. Furious, he slashed their tents, seized their skins.' threw their provisions into the river. Pleading guilty, Dr. Stillman paid $10 and costs.

To President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University, his late spinster Sister Eliza left $2,000 "in recognition of his unfailing generous and constantly loving care during my entire life and in token of the deep affection which I have for him."

Ever since she was found with Desperado John Dillinger on the night of his killing, Mrs. Anna Sage, "The Woman in Ked, has denied she tipped off Federal agents. Faced with deportation to Rumania, she marched into a Chicago court, changed her story, insisted she betrayed Dillinger. In return, said Tipstress Sage Melvin Purvis, then chief Chicago investigator of the Department of Justic promised to sidetrack deportation proceedings against her. While Director J. Edgar Hoover of the Division of Invest gation denied any such deal, the Chicago judge granted a temporary writ to prevent her deportation.

On his return from Geneva to Prague Dr. Eduard Benes, perpetual Foreign Minister of Czechoslovakia, was greeted by the Czech Minister to Austria and the Czech Minister's dog, which bit Dr. Benes sent him to a hospital.

Down upon the cactus-littered desert at Roswell, N. Mex., where Professor Robert Hutchings Goddard tinkers with stratosphere rockets, slid the red-striped monoplane of Colonel Charles Augustus Lindbergh. From the plane stepped Colonel Lindbergh and Copper Tycoon Harry Frank Guggenheim, bent on finding out whether the Goddard rockets are worth spending more money on. For three days Visitors Guggenheim & Lindbergh peered at a 60-ft. rocket tower and instruments usually covered by canvas to foil snoopers. Bald, secretive Professor Goddard showed them a new rocket he has sent on short nights at 700 m.p.h., a new gyroscope designed to keep it from wobbling. By 1936, he predicted, he will be ready to send rockets perhaps 150 mi. into the Kennelly-Heaviside layer of ionized air with instruments which will record meteorological and other data, float back to earth on parachutes. Pleased, Messrs. Guggenheim & Lindbergh promised another year of support by the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation, climbed into their plane, flew away.
