Queen Mary Narrowly Escapes Death

London, May 23.

Queen Mary had a narrow escape from injury or death ioday when she was involved in a motor accident in a London suburb. Her car completely overturned, but Her Majesty had a lucky escape.

She was unhurt, although she was imprisoned in the car, from which she was helped by a painter. She was taken to the nearest doctor.

Apparently suffering from shock, Her Majesty rested at the doctor's house for a while.

She then drove home in another car. Queen Mary will celebrate her 72nd birthday on Friday.—Reuter.
