 AT RACE TRACK
Associated Press,

LONDON, Feb. 27.-At least 10C women and children were trampled to death and several hundred other persons lost their lives in the flames which destroyed great part of the public stands at the Hong Kong Jockey Club races Tuesday. Due possibly to overcrowding, the great Chinese public stands collapsed and flames immediately sprang up, caus ing serious panic.
 Thousands of men, women and children made for the exits with the one thought of escape in their minds The weaker ones were tossed aside in the mad rush for safety. and those forced from their feet were cut to pieces by the trampling feet of the thousands. All efforts of the attendants to check the panic-strick en crowd were unavailing.

KING AND QUEEN EAT BUCKWHEATS,
 FIND THEM GOOD

London, June 26.---King George and Queen Mary tasted American buck wheat cakes for the first time yes terday at the Eagle hut of the Amer ican Y. M. c. A. The visit was a sur prise one, made at the kings own suggestion.
 Smiling toward the tables where a row of Americans were devouring1 sandwiches and pancakes, the king said:
 What is the most distinctive Amer ican dish you have here? I want to sample it."
 The Y. M. c. A. secretary did not have to think a moment before he answered:
 'Buckwheat cakes is the best thing we have"
 The king and queen sat down at an oilcloth-coVere table beside a group of khaki-clad aviators and a corf l4 of bluejackets from an American bat tlnstip. They each ate a plate of bI7clkwheat cakes hot from the grid dle, with generous covering o: gen uine mal 1c syrup. Both finished ihei- portions, politely refused a second helping, but declared themselves de- cisively in favor of the adoption o1 buckwheat cakes in the British na- tional menu.
