Swedenamed-It's the trifling
footnotes to history that really form
the background of the momentous
events, give an insight to the why
and wherefore of things as they
happened. There's a bit of an
historical note in the name that
Lloyd Blycker calls his own today.
Back in the 10th century when
since the dates are not quite clear
to us-either Charles XIV or Oscar
III held the reigns in Sweden, Mr..
Blycker's grandfather was a men,
Der Of the Swedish cavalry. BY
name he was Peter Olson, but it so
happened that was the name born
by another cavalryman in the same
squad. Now it was law that no
two men in the same squad of eight
could have the same name. :. How
it came about that the name Bly,
cker was selected to replace Olson
is still a mystery. But the point
is that the King of Sweden did give
him his name, called him "Blycker"
;. Because of that quirk, the name
Blycker is scarcely three genera
tons old. Now it goes into the
fourth for a son of Lloyd's will
carry the name. And who knows?
Perhaps he'll carry it into the
White House. -.
Flowerama There's quality
popped up this summer that in
these small towns is characteristic.
This summer more than ever be-
fore, floral displays that speak of
good neighborliness have been CIV
en- to the business houses. :. Influx
of these floral offerings has been
prompted perhaps by an over
abundance of blossoms this year
but no matter the reason. You'll
find hosts of bouquets in number
of business places where larger
groups may enjoy the sight of the
prettied blossoms, the handiwork of
few growers. The thought that
these growers have when they get
too many is put them where every
body can see them. Spikes of glad
iolus, delicately colored, clusters of
nasturchians, one saw was mass
of one solid color, and others your
correspondent can't name now
grace windows, counters, shelves in
the stores. Comments over the
beauty of the specimen are lavish.
All are prideful gifts of the
owners. Some of the most faithful
donors are Mrs. M. ]. Fleming, Pete
Svenneby, Henry Rydholm, Frank
O'Gara, Harold Gray and Alto Le-

Smoker-The man who laid the
magnifying class over a pin point
on the map and gave it to the world
as Main Street" is with his ner-
vous energy kicking up high wind
in summer theatrical circles at Co
hasset, Massachusetts. It's the
restless, nervous Mr.. Sinclair Lewis,
who is gaining the favorable press
notices on his portrayal Of his own
character, Editor Jessup, in that
commentary piece, 1T Can't Hap
pen Here" He eats the role up
with the greatest of ease, and seem
ingly Mr.. Lewis penned that char
acter patterned after his own pecul-
lar self, so adequately does he give
Jessup life. It's singular, per-
haps, that another from his home
town should supercede the author
into a character portrayal in the
play. Last winter when the piece
was being presented simultaneous
ly in IS WPA theatrical presenta-
tons, down in Chicago Harold Rog-
ers, of this city, was treading the
boards in Mr.. Lewis stint. All
this happens to Mr.. Lewis at the
age of So. At So he's treading the
boards as an actor; yesterday it
was as novelist. He leaps to the
