When her limousine broke down on the road from Sandringham House to Cambridge, England's Queen Mary was given a lift in a wheezy little 10 h. p. sedan driven by a brewery's traveling salesman named Percy Titmous.
An assortment of old shoes, dating from 1490 to the 15th Century, was presented to the socialite Antiquarians Club of Chicago, by stately, patrician Lolita Sheldon Armour, widow of Meatpacker Jonathan Ogden Armour.
Experts from Chicago's Field Museum sailed from Manhattan on an expedition to jungly Senegal and Nigeria, where they will track down African mammals, collect rare birds to equip a new hall in the Museum. At Dakar in Senegal they will be joined by the expedition's sponsor, white-haired Sarah Lavanburg Straus, 74, widow of Oscar Solomon Straus, onetime Minister to Turkey, aunt of Ambassador to France Jesse Isidor Straus. No tyro at roughing it, robust Mrs. Straus equipped and led an expedition to Nyasaland and British East Africa in 1929, spent last winter poking about Mayan ruins in Yucatan. With the Field Museum's experts she will trek to Timbuktu and Lake Chad, return to the U. S. after two months when the party reaches Lagos. South Nigeria. Her maid will accompany her all the way.
