Philadelphia. — Robert Whitman,
Silas “Lord Beaverbrook,” and John
B. Wledemler, who has traveled un-
der so many different names that the
list looks like a telephone directory,
sat In hla cell In Moyamenslng prison
and told of some of his exploits In
swindling wealthy women, while ad-
ditional charges poured In f(om varl
ous parts of the country.
As he dallied over a specially or-
dered meal, the alleged ahelk of swin-
dlers talked with detectives who ar-
rested him.
"My vanity caused ray downfall,
he aald. "The gumshoes knew I al-
ways made for a fancy barber shop
to get a manicure and a massage as
soon as I hit a town, so they just sat
behind their papers In the hotel until
I walked In. When the barber had
finished the Job, they pulled me.
knew It was ull* up.”
There are many charges sgalnst
“Lord Beaverbrook.” The only one
by a Philadelphia woman, ao far. Is
made by Mrs. Frances Kemp, who
charges the dapper prisoner swindled
her out of <18,000. Police say there
are at least fifty victims, gome of
these women he married, some he
swindled and some he both married
and swindled.
A million dollars Is the amount he
la said to have taken from his vic-
tims. At present, however, Whitman
claims to be “broke,” despite the fact
the detectives who arrested him say
ha offered to split. $50,000 between
them for his freedom. He later
stated he lost <100,000 to gamblers lu
Atlantic City before coming here.
Police say "his lordship” has a long
police record over the country, hav-
ing served several years In prison.
He Is alleged to have Jumped parole
«n his last sentence. •

Relic* From Ur Find
Way to United State*
Philadelphia.—A fine collection of
statues, household belongings and other
relics from that ancient capital, Ur of
the Chaldees, have found a resting
place In America.
These exhibits, which show how the
arts were practiced over 4,000 years
ago under the protection of the Moon
goddess, are a prominent feuture of
the new wing In the museum of the
University of Pennsylvania. The wing,
which recently was opened, is dedi-
cated to Eckley Brluton Core, Jr.. In
recognition of his services In aiding
the museum to conduct researches nnd
excavations, and especially for his
great Interest In Egyptology.
The collection from Ur Is a result
of the joint expedition sent out by the
museum of the University of Pennsyl-
vania and the British museum to ex-
cavate the famous old metropolis.

140 People Crowd on
Loneliest British Isle
London. — Britain's loneliest
possession, the Island of Tristan
da Cunha, Is suffering from over-
population.
There are 140 persons on the
Island, which Is nearly double
the population of 'JO years ago,
and the food supply has run
short. The Islnnd is located In
the middle of the Atlantic on a
line between the Cape of Good
Hope and Buenos Aires. It Is
only two miles long and adjoins
two or three other smaller vol-
canic Islands.
Most of the population con-
sists of shipwrecked sailors and
wives they have brought from
St. Helena. Potatoes are the
chief crop, but they were a fail-
ure this year.
MISNAMING NATIONS
ESTABLISHED HABIT
Titles Usually Oldest Relics
of Humanity.
Washington.—The United States
does not recognise Russia. Neither
does Russia recognise "Rusata," ac-
cording to the United States Post Of-
fice department.
If an American wishes to order cav-
iar through a Moscow concern, the
beet advice Is that he address the let-
ter to the Union of Socialistic Soviet
RiSubllcs. In order to educate the
world to the new name, the Soviet
government frequently carries out Its
threat to return all mail addressed to
“Russia.”
“Misnaming nations Is one of our
established hahita." says a bulletin of
the National Geographic society from
Its headquarters In Washington. “The
following are the real names which
well-known nations call themselves.
How many can yon Identify? Mlsr,
Eestl Wabarilk, 8uomen Tnsavnlta.
Afrlklya, Iran. Die Itepiibllk Oster-
relch, El Maghreb, Lietuva, Flstln.
“The accepted English names for
these nations are printed at the end
of this column.
“Since United States citizens do not
call foreign nations by their native
names, they take liberties with ours.
When a representative of the National
Geographic society left for (the Treu-
tlno district, Italy, recently, he car-
ried business cards which gave the so-
ciety's name In Italian nnd the address
as ‘America.’ Neither ’United States’
nor ‘U. S. A.’ appeared on the card.
In rural districts the peasants know
of ’America,’ but many of them have
never heard of the ‘United States.'
"The world habit of mlsnnmlng na-
tions can be excused. Some nations
cannot agree on their own names so
the world must fix on some form. One
of the discoveries of Americans tour-
ing Europe is that Switzerland Is not
Switzerland. If you are In north or
German Switzerland It Is Schweiz,
south or Italian Switzerland it Is
Svlssera, west or French Switzerland,
Suisse. The map shows Luxemburg
on the International fence between
Germany and France. It Is also on
th« Ungual fence, possessing two
names, Grund-Duche de Luxembourg
and Groshersogtum Luxemburg. The
Irish Free State also Is known by the
Gaelic, Saorstat Elreann.
Perpetuate Ancient Ideas.
“Excepting New world titles, names
of nations ore usually the oldest relics
of Immunity. Like all antiques, their
origins are often shrouded In mystery.
Frequently names perpetuate the opin-
ion one tribe had of another In the
days of barbarism. The official name
of Germany today Is Deutsches Reich.
They call themselves Deutsch, which
Is the name English-speaking people
have allotted to the natives of Nether-
lands. The French call them Alle-
mandea, literally, foreigners. Slavs
call the Germans ‘Nlemlec,’ which
means ‘dumb men.’ They were ’dumb
men' to the Slavs since they could not
speak the Slav language. Slavs call
themselves Slowjane, ‘the Intelligent
people,’ but all Germans call them the
Wends, that Is, ‘the strangers.’
“England reveals name dissension
nearer home. The Welsh call the Eng-
lish the Saeson; the Gaels of Scotland
call the English Saoz; the Irish, Sasu-
nalch. and the Manxmen, Sugsonach.
A Welshman is not a Welsh to a
Welshman, but a Cyrary.
“In the Japanese name for their Is-
land kingdom, Nippon, a geographic
absurdity has been corrected by a
modern geographic decision. *N1’
means sun and ‘pon,’ rising. Japan Is
the country of the rising sun. To
whom could It be the country over
which the sun rose? Not to Japanese
certainly 1 Obviously It Is u Chinese
name because the Island lay where the
Chinese saw the sun rise. But within
the last century the International date
line was marked down the center of
the Pacific ocean. It establishes where
day begins, according to earthly agree-
ment. Therefore, Japan Is the first
major territory touched by the rising
sun of a new day.
"Americans” Appropriate "America.”
Consider our nation’s name ‘the
United States of America.' Americans
proudly proclaim that that title does
not stand for a nation which Is an em-
pire gathering VHst territories to Itself
by conquest. Yet the present use of
‘the United States of America’ Is one
of the most remarkable and bnre-fsced
conquests on record In the world 'of
nomenclature. An American Is recogv
nixed everywhere now ns n native of
the United States, but there are 75,-
000,000 people In Canada, Central
America, Mexico and South America,
who have Just as much right to the
name as the 125,000,000 citizens of the
United States. We speak of ’the United
States* as If there could be only one
federation by that title. There are two
other ’the United States'—Venezuela
and Brazil.
“The United States has been empiri-
cal evep In the pronunciation of the
name America. The French call us
‘Amerlque’ and the Italians ‘America,’
with the ‘am’ one syllable as In ‘ambu-
lance.’ This Is probably th® style of
the Florentine accountant, Amerigo
Vespucci, who donated his Christian
name to label two continents*. But
English - speaking Americans have
changed all that. We use the ‘A’ as
a springboard and take a running dive
Into ‘tnerlca.’
“The American versions of the na-
tions enumerated earlier In this bulle-
tin are: Egypt, Esthonia, Finland,
Tunisia, Persia. Austria, Morocco.
Lithuania, Palestine.”
CALLIOPES HERALD
RIVER SHOWBOATS
Floating Theaters Begin Their
Summer Season.
Cincinnati.—Callopes' shrill musi-
cal blasts reverberate In the small
river towns these warm days as the
showboats, embarked on a promising
summer season, pull along shore and
cast anchor.
In the fleet of floating theaters
from the biggest and oldest to the
smallest, there are nine of the flat-bot-
tomed vessels In operation this year.
They will cruise the rivers from the
extreme points on the Ohio, the Al-
legheny and the Illinois to the lowest
points on the South on the Mississippi.
Showboats have played the river
settlements for-nearly half a century.
Some showmen virtually have made
homes of them and grown old with
them. Their business, many of the
owners say. Is as flourishing now as
ever.
The largest afloat this year Is tho
Cotton Blossom, with a seating ca-
pacity of 2,(MX). The Cotton Blossom
has replaced the Golden ltod, which
formerly was the largest.
Then comes French’s New Sensa-
tion. On Its up-river cruise It an-
chored here for a brief lay-over, took
on a number of new people engaged
for the summer nnd went on Its way.
The showboats usually pass by Cin-
cinnati unnoticed. When occasionally
they stop the calliope Is silent and
there are no crowds to greet them.
Tlielr repertory never finds an audi-
ence In Cincinnati, although they do
have patronage In some of the larger
cities along the course.
It Is mostly In the small river town,
where theaters arc few or not at all,
that the calliope awnkens the country-
side and draws the population for
miles around to the river hank.
The larger bouts that have bands
unload the show and Invoke a holi-
day. The stars come ashore and meet
the crowd, and the band spends the
afternoon parading about town, col-
lecting an audience for the evening
performance.
There Is nothing heavy about the
drama In the river theaters, but they
usually have fair musical accompani-
ment to comedies and the melodra-
matic plays that thrive on mystery
and romance.
The bigger theaters, after spending
the winter South, as Is usually their
custom, have headed North, and the
fleet is augmented by smaller craft
which operate only In the summer.
Spend Half Million
to Get Better Products
Washington. — American Industries
are estimated by officials of the bureau
of standards to be spending half a mil-
lion dollars a year In co-operative re-
searches with the bureau to promote
higher standards of products.
Under the research associate plan,
adopted shortly after the war when
the Increasing demand for highly
trained technical men threatened de-
pletion of the bureau staff, a manu-
facturer places a graduate physicist,
chemist or engineer, at the bureau for
one or more years to carry on. with
government experts, an Investigation
of a particular Industry.
"This plan," says Dr. George K.
Burgess, bureau director, has proved
valuable, both In the training of addi-
tional research specialists by associa-
tion with the bureau staff and In
maintaining the research output of the
bureau In lines which are of special
Industrial Importance.”
The co-operative method, however,
Is looked upon as somewhat more cer-
tain of practical results since both the
views of the government snd private
industrial experts are woven Into the
tests.

Brothers Reunited
When Autos Collide
Washington. — Two brothers,
lost from each other for thirty
yearn, but who, through all that
period lived hut forty miles
apart, were reunited when their
automobiles scraped fenders

traffic officer who happened by
as the slight accident occurred.
They are Clarence Williams of
Washington nnd George Wil-
