NEW YORK, April 8.-There is a
fascination about those names that
makes us wonder if they are patents
of nobility-or just names. Such,
for instance, as King Vidor, Duke
Ellington, Baron Wilkes. Printz Bic
derman and Marquis Childs. To say
nothing of the double header, Don
Marquis. Or Rex Stout.
Perhaps best Of all is Harold Lord
Varney, a magazine editor. There
is an almost uncomfortable impulse
to place a comma after his first
name. There was an office boy on
Hamptons named King Royal. But
it irked. He thought it too regal
and when 81 had it changed to
James Smith.
But the fascination of names is
not confined solely to those suggest
ing the pomp of thrones. Among
those expressing unusual dignity tc
me are Kets Speed, Victor Herbert
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Richard Hard
ing Davis and Meredith Nicholson
And one might suspect Edna st
Vincent Millay named herself.
The most amusing of the celebrity
names, I think, is that of the erud-
ite editor of The Nation - JOSEPH
Wood Krutch. Either he lacks
humour or has an abundant supply

A FOOLISH ATTITUDE
Baltimore Md sum

Whenever there is a movement to extend
The merit system to embrace large number Of
federal employees, the cry goes up from the
party out OF power that it is a political move
The ins are accused Of seeking to buttress in the
classified service horde Of jobholders who
have gotten on the pay roll through political
pun And running true TO form. Republicans
who have been roundly berating the present ad-
ministration for wrecking the civil service now
greet reports that legislation is being prepared
TO cover all postmasterships into the merit sys-

have been intrenohed in the public service with

But the day were awaited when both
parties were satisfied with extension of the

promotion OF public officials on a merit basis

JACOBY TRIAL
IS TO RESUME
HERE MONDAY
Two Witnesses Delayed by
Weather to Testify in
Robbery Case.

The states case against Forrest
Jacoby, Al Head, John Head and
Jerry Dukes rests today with the
provision that two witnesses delayed
by the cold weather would be per.
mitted to testify when they arrive.
The four men are charged with the
robbery of the william H. Roberts 81
Sons dairy last August. The trial
Is to be resumed Monday.
The jury of eight women and four
men during the last week has heard
about IS witnesses called by the
prosecution.
1t is alleged by the state through
evidence of the witnesses that
Jacoby and the other three men
maintained several apartments on
the North Side and in Cincinnati and
occupied them under assumed
names. 1t also alleges that several
garages rented by the gang were
found to contain stolen cars used in
the Roberts holdup and other rob-
berries.
The defense is to present alibl
evidence and is to attempt to prove
that some of the defendants were
in other cities at the time of the
alleged holdup, according to Clyde
G. Karrer, attorney,

Holtz didn't exactly follow usual

around the course in less than
100 losses. He did it in 100.
Followed by a large gallery and
heckling bettors, Holtz tossed
from tee to fairway, from trap to
green and finally into each cup.
The comedian threw the out
nine in so and returned in an
equal card. When he marble-shot

MusSoIini Warns Paris He
May Change Feeling on
Locarno Treaty.
By United Press

BY United Press
ROME, Jan. 25-Premier Benito
Mussolini has warned the French
government he may revise his atti-
tude toward the Locarno Treaty be-
cause of the Mediterranean agree
ment by which Great Britain will
receive aid in event of an attack
by Italy, it was understood today in
foreign quarters.
The warning was said to have
been conveyed in q conversation
Mussolini had yesterday with Count
Charles de Chambrun, French am
baSSador.
Under the Locarno Treaty, Great
Britain, France, Belgium, Germany
and Italy pledged mutual support.
Mussolini was said to have told
Chambrun that he wanted to be in
formed of the meaning and extent
of the Mediterranean understand
ings, that he considered them un-
justified, and that if his view of
them was confirmed, he might re-
consider Italy's obligations under
the Loca,'ro Treaty.
Observers took this to imply that
MuSsolini might reconsider his at
titude regarding the frontiers OF
Western Europe.
