Paul' Whiteman, the syncopation king, for instance, was labeled the Prince of Wales. Landis, the baseball arbiter, who was shown in the picture with a golf club in his hand, was variously called J. D. Rockefeller, Sr., Bobby Jones, golf champion ( a young man.) Edison, Henry Ford, and Lloyd George. Coach Yost Mistaken. Even Coach Yost came in for his share of mistaken identity. Will Rogers, the lariat and word tosser,1 was called Coach Yost, who has been here more than 25 years. Jascha Heifetz, the violin player, became an actor in the eyes of those identifying the pictures. Menjou, Valentino, La Roque, Lou Tellegen and others were the identities ascribed to him. Hud- son Maxim, the inventor of smokeless powder and countless other inven- tions impressed some as Bernard Shaw, Anatole France and David Bel- asco, notwithstanding the fact that, Belasco has ho beard. Jimmie Walker, mayor of New York, and who recently returned from a trip to Europe, figuring very prom- inently in the picture sections of news- papers seems to bear a striking re- semblance to Charlie Chaplin, King Alfonso of Spain, Ted Lewis, Houdini, and Earl Carrol, Vice president Dawes was called Harvey, Al Smith, Lloyd George, Baldwin, Burbank, and was even identified as vice president Davis. Stressman, finance minister of Ger- many fool'd" some into thinking he was Gov. Green of Michigan Denby, Stinnes, the late Judge Gary, Gen. Pershing, Lenin, Levine, MacDonald, Mussolini, Von Hindeburg. -Irene Castle, who dropped from the public gaze quite a bit the last year or so, became Pavlowa, ,Ruth Elder, Miss Doran, Mrs. Grayson, and a Russian princess. Ever. Lindbergh Baffling. Strange as it may seem, Col. Itind- bergh seems to resemble Prince of Wales and John Coolidge. The Prince of Wales was mistaken for Prince Carol of Roumania., And although it! seems impossible, there were two peo- pe who did not know the picture of President Coolidge. Commander Byrd, the trans-Atlantic flyer fooled some into labeling him John Gilbert, Thomas Meighan, and even Irving Ber- lin. Jack Dempsey would probably sue for libel if he heard of himself being identified as Gene Tunney or Wallace Beery.,.. Some queer combinations character- ized individual papers. One person identified Landis and Depew as Henry Ford, but didn't know the icture of the real Henry Ford. Someone else thought Linbergh was the Prince of Wales, that Chait1berlin was Lind- bergh, kne, the Prince of Wales, but thought l aitland, who flew across the Pacific, Was also Lindbergh. Another guesser 'made ,Herrick, Doumegue, but coul place Doumergue's pic- ture. Clen nceaui, the intense anti- German was taken for Taft, but the same person thought Taft resembled! the Kaiser. That seems to make the Kaiser andClemencefin resemble each other. The Kaiser ought to hear about that at Doorn. $pelling Also Troublesome. The spelling revealed on these tests 'was both atrocious and, original, ex- aminers state. Lindbergh's name which has been in the headlines in type of th b-nost conspiciou size had enough cominations to fill a page in the student's dir'ectory- Lindberg, Lindburg, Lindburgh, Lindenburg, and! Lindeberg were included in the list. Coolidge's name came in for its share of mangling. Colridge, Coolridge, Col- idge w2ere some of the varieties. Rockefeller took third place with Rockerfeller, Rockerfellow, L ocke- fellow. Dempsey secured as varia- tions Dempsie and Dempsy. Schu- man-Heink's name proved a horrible stumbling block for many who couldn't solve the last part. leincke, Heinck, Heik were the attempted re- sults. Gertrude Ederle was twisted around to Ederlee, Ederly, Erdle, Ederlie, Eldridge. .The last one is somewhat far-fetched. Some had to make Byrd a winged'creature, so his name be- OUR 11 Po~ - Ak.
