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

Whizzing through Washington, Pa., Henry Ford spied two men vainly trying to crank one of his 1915 Model T cars, leaned out of his limousine window, yelled: "Get a horse!''

Arriving in Chicago, oldtime opera singer Mary Garden scoffed at reports that she was about to wed elderly Radio Impresario Edward Bowes, explained: "The Major is a dear, sweet lovable man. We are very good friends, but not lovers. Can't you understand friendship?"

Sailing with his valet for a vacation in Europe, Bethlehem Steelmaster Charles Michael Schwab pontificated: "Don't strive for riches. That's my advice to young men."

To the American Provident Society in Manhattan. Stanford's President Ray Lyman Wilbur observed: "The gopher is, par excellence, a saving animal. He stores seeds and leaves in the ground. Perhaps we should consider the gopher and be wise."

"For his heroic and extraordinary achievements in Arctic and Antarctic exploration 1925-26," President Roosevelt presented Explorer Lincoln Ellsworth with the National Geographic Society's 13th Hubbard Medal. Introduced at his lecture following the presentation as "a world discoverer who exemplifies the finest traditions of science, modesty, resource and valor," Explorer Ellsworth trumpeted: "The most important incident of my trip across Antarctica [TIME, Jan. 27] was the raising of the Stars & Stripes in that territory of 350,000 square miles of vast untamed land, the last unclaimed territory on earth."
