Theodore Douglas Robinson, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, in breeding, birth and life is Roosevelt in everything but name. His mother was Corinne Roosevelt; he married Helen Roosevelt. Following best Roosevelt traditions, he graduated from Harvard, was elected to the New York Legislature (Senator, 1916-18, 1920-24), fought for the U.

Costly lawyers argued before the Supreme Court of the U. S. last week over homonymic trademarks. The Beech-Nut Packing Co. (BeechNut provisions, chewing-gum, candies) wanted P. Lorillard Co.

Among the volumes on show are two tremendous books of autographs, containing the signatures of almost every American who has made a name for himself during the last 50 or 60 years. Every autograph recalls the name of some statesman, author, educator, scholar or other leader in the world of action or thought. It is a comprehensive review in American History, just to let the pages slip through one's fingers...
...reader of this column fails at least to try and get a ticket for tonight's performance of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, which is being given in Symphony Hall at 8.15 o'clock, he deserves to have his name struck from the role of Vagabondier, for he will have missed the greatest musical event of the season. But if he can't get in tonight, he can probably go Sunday afternoon...
