Soldier of Fortune

One of the star turns of the Amertcan contingent is Dixie Harwood, of Virginia. Hard-bitten soldier of fortune, Harwood has seen service in the U.S. Army as well as unofficial action in Spain and China.

Another American is drawling, six-foot-three Ford Adams, of Temple, Texas. Sitting on a fence watching an American football work-out on an English field, Adams discussed oil wells with a youngster from Oklahomo. "Tex," who once was a policeman, has seen oil well fires blown out with nitro and he figures bursting bombs won't be anything new for him.—United Press.
