Notes

The Duke of York and his Equerry Captain Basil Brooke were beaten in a golf foursome by Frank Hodges, Civil Lord of the Admiralty, and his miner friend Evan Williams. The game was played upon a miners' course laid out on a slag pile in South Wales.

A baby girl was born in a London subway train. Much discussion arose as to the name that should be given. Some suggested four names beginning with T.U.B.E., some Louise Baker after the Bakerloo Railway, others Jocelyn, as she was born in the rush hour.

Queen Alexandra, the Queen Mother, now in her 80th year, will not again appear at any public functions because of the physical strain entailed, it was announced from Marlborough House, the Queen's London home.
