Rudyard Kipling); of a heart attack; in Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire. In general agreement with Queen Mary on both morals and hats, she kept a firm, wifely hand in her husband's career (gossip credited her with much influence in forcing the abdication of Edward VIII).

A determined democrat as well as a crusading Tory, she once had some Whitehall charwomen in to afternoon tea at 10 Downing Street.

Died. Simon Lake, 78, who invented the first modern submarine, intending it for peaceful uses (freight and salvage work); in Bridgeport, Conn. He made a small fortune (which would have been larger but for German infringement of his patents) by selling his sub to foreign countries when the U.S. did not buy it, finally got the U.S. interested just before World War I. He died poor, partly because of the money he blew on fanciful schemes to salvage sunken treasure by submarine.
