b' O R D I A N Quandt and Jackson, Funeral Directors—We cheerfully bury you for practically nothing. The United States Soccer Team, led by “Bub” Flynn, stellar center forward, and Captain Fred Weir, defeated the British I earn in an international match in London yesterday. Oscar Fodder, goalie, proved himself a tower of strength on the defense and saved goal after goal by his miraculous stops. It was announced after the game by “General” Schofield, manager of the American Team, that they will next play the Czechoslovakian Team in Paris. ROXY’S—On All This Week—The Famous Singer Midgets. Included in this group are Mabel Perkins, Jessica Velie and Robert Stark, known from coast to coast. Miss Flora Hamilton, professor of chemistry at Vassar College, has just received the Nobel Prize for several hygienic discoveries which have revolutionized the preparation of food in the canning industry. Miss Hamilton disclaimed all credit when interviewed yesterday, stat- ing that Miss Aurore Clement, assistant to her, is, in reality, the one who made the discoveries. There will be a broadcast of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra this evening over the N.B.C. hook-up. The orchestra will be led as usual by Leopold Stowkoski. Miss Grace Hardee will render a guitar solo. Albert Wells and George Parker will give a trumpet duet. This is the feature program of the week. Barnum and Ba'ley’s Circus Opened in Madison Square Garden Barnum and Bailey’s Circus opened today in the Garden. All the acts were about as usual with the exception of the Gimmelli Sisters, Catharine and Carmel. They give an aerial act which is the most thrill- ing ever presented by either sex and carry it on without the aid of a net. Well, the old saying is “more fun more people killed”. Polar Expedition Lost The polar expedition led by the fearless Neison Costello and his brave little wife Mrs. Betty Cummings Costello was believed to be lost in the vast Antartic Continent. The last wireless report received from them stated they were within a radius of 150 miles of the Pole. Miss Monica Guira’s Recipas Acclaimad Throughout tha Land Miss Monica Guire, who is noted for her recipes for salads, yester- day was given a gold medal by housewives throughout the land who have used her recipes to their own great advantage and delight.
