SlAMESE RULER IS SUPREME

You forget. when you are in Lon don, that you are in the kings capital You forget It In every kings capital in the wOrld-egcept Bangkok, Siam. l had not been in my hotel for half an hour when I heard whistles blow Ing and bells ringing and trumpets sounding strange fanfares I asked my boy" Che came with my hotel room and was my shadow during my entire stay iu Sism) what the noise signified. He kneit down and put his hands piously together, as cus- tom decrees that a servant must do when addressing a superior, and made me understand in his queer, pidgin- English that the king was passing by.
 Later, 1 came to know that the pass ing of the king was not a rare oc- currence.

 The hotel at which I stopped was owned by the king. So. found, was everything else Tn Siam. including the inhabitants, body and soul Rama VT Oxford graduate, playwright. poet and keen admlnistrator-is perhaps the most absolute of all the monarchs left on earth. Gle does not appear in the Siamese archives as Rama VI. His real name, with his titles, is Som detch Phra Peramendr Mana vaiir- avudh Phra Mongkut Klao. But for the sake of convenience, foreigners call him Rama vD.
 Rama VT Is an autocrat. but his government, strangely enough. Is more like an advanced state social ism than anything else. The state owns the main lines of the railways, the oil fields. the forests and the mines. The street cars and the water works and the lighting system of Bangkok are state property. Of course the state is the king. But the king draws very firm, straight line be- tween h's rights as an individual and his rights ss the head of the govern ment, and governs for his people more truly than does many an elected ex- ecutive. He Is democratic in spirit. I know of just one act of his that might be called tyrsnnical-his recent let their hair grow iong.-Fl0rence Burgess Meekan in Asia Magazine.

Personal GOOD WILL


These are trying times which test out not only our capacities for work but personal dispositions. Investigation and analyses, some necessary and unduy burdensome take lot of time Up jump things done and things not done out of the hectic per- iod just passed It seems that there peace for the wicked but neither is there any monopoly in right eousness Unavoidable changes constant. Drastic reductions in expense create difficulties, and in addition to all these impedments to progress have new disturbing eement-nerves. It is only natural that everyone should be one edge Who has not felt the sting of criticism, though kindly meant? Whose cherished plans have not been upset? Who does not feel disappointed msudged and unappreciated? Very few, if any.
 So let us get out our good manners and polish them up. Those ot us who have of humor are happy in the possession of saving grace but let them not use it. even in sef-defense hurt another who is not so blessed. Let us above all things, always be courteous to others and considerate of their interests
 In the years to come it will be matter of great pride and qualification to all of if in these trying times We so conduct ourselves to make record conspicuous for the courtesy and consideration shown to those with whom We deal as we'll for effective ness in service.

THE SPIRIT OF GIVING.

1T is always more blessed to
give than to receive" is a motto
which is well worth remember
ing, and yet it is very certain
that it affords us great pleasure
to think that our friends re-
member us in this way.
The spirit of giving, when ex-
ercised in the proper manner, is
a beautiful one and is a source
of much pleasure to the recip-
lent.
This seems to be an age of
present giving. There is hardly
an occasion in life, from the
cradle to the grave, that gifts
are not received until it has al
most become a burden both to
the receiver and the giver, be-
cause some times they are USE
less.
In bestowing gifts one should
make a careful study of the de-
sires of those who are to receive
them.
In former years wedding gifts

would never enter into the head
of a son or daughter of Israel
who had been taught to give
freely to every good cause with
out any Interior motive prompt
ing him and impelled solely by
the duty to help those less fortu-
nate than himself. 1t may be
true that some of our Princes of
Philanthropy scatter their dol
lars with the idea of making a
favorable impression that will
lead to social heights towards
which they are striving and
straining; but as a rule the
Jews generosity towards char
ity is not measured by his social
ambition but by his duty to-
wards his fellow men.
The intimation that the Jews
who retain membership in or
CARNATIONS that draw the line
against other Jews, as Jews, are
lacking in self-respect is an init
nation with which we are in full
accord and if it were realized by
those who have boosted of being
made exceptions that their ex-
ceptional treatment when they
avail themselves of its privi-
leges invites the contempt of in
telligent Gentiles, a great stride
forward would be made in level
ing the walls of social prejudice
and assuring for ourselves the
esteem which our own self
respect should elicit from
others.-Harry H. Mayer in
Kansas City Jewish Chronicle.

HENRY BERKOWITZ.

DR.. Henry Berkowitz has re-
signed as minister of Congrega-
ton Rodef Sholom of Philadel-
phia, Pa. His retirement was
due to ill health, which is most
regrettable, and certainly his
hosts of friends sincerely wish
him a return to strength in his
well earned retirement and rest.

beloved men in the American

of an ornamental or useful ma
ture were presented to the newly
married couple. Today not only
expensive and sometimes useless
wedding presents are given but
also engagement gifts of a SINH
lar nature, Il, fact, such gifts
ar usually the rule rather than
the exception.
1t is a great mistake to give
children expensive gifts on con.
frmation or graduation from
grammar and high school. It is
perfectly proper to give birth
day gifts, but let their value to
the recipient be based upon their
suitability rather than upon
their monetary cost.
When one receives a gift they
prize it more if it is what is de-
sired than how much it costs.
Many people spend far more
on gifts than they can afford,
while others are extremely
stingy and thoughtless in this
respect, never thinking of re-
Numbering their friends by any
token. Both attitudes are
wrong.
If one does not take any pleas
ure in bestowing gifts on their
friends there is something radi-
cally wrong. If people give
simply because they think it IL
a duty they have not the right
spirit vi gilt giving.
Don't wait to give gifts until
one is sick. While one appreci-
ates remembrances at such
times, they are also appreciated
very much when one is well and
able to enjoy them.
1t is nothing short of mockery
to spend vast sums Of money for
flowers for the dead, especially
if no attention has been given
them while they were alive.
There is no instance where
careful discrimination is more
essential than that of gift giving
if it is to serve the purpose for
which it is designed.-The Jew
ish Review and Observer.

SOCIAL RECOGNITION.

ton is a powerful incentive. 1t
is well nigh universal. It impels
sensible pople to make fools of
themselves in order to obtain it
Among the motives that actu.
ate people it is an impulse that
is salutary if directed in the
right channels. 1t is the bond
that draws together diverse ele.
ments and holds them in asso-
citation that is mutually bene-
ficial. Men are prone to flock
together. They crave compan-
ionship. The human being is a
gregarious animal. Notwith-
standing the proverb Birds of
a feather flock together" all of
the members of any given group
are not always similar in tastes,
antecedents, in financial rating,
in mental powers or in any of
the other qualities that are sup
posed to attract them to one
: another. Artificial distinction
set apart certain groups and the
illusion becomes general that So
. cial connections with them is a
badge of honor. A mad scram-
; bic ensues to pry open the doors
leading into the circle of the
elect. Wild extravaganza on the
part of people of moderate
means is practiced in the eager
hope that by means of High"
living they may force their way
into the charmed circle. 1t is
pitiable to obsrve how many
families have been wrecked
upon the rocks of financial dis
aster because of the unchecked
ambition to rise in the social
scale and break into exclusive
society.
i"' Jewish men and women have
been known to foreswear their
religion and deny their parent
&, age in order to attain the covet-
ed but doubtful honor of en-
trance into exclusive circles.
What we ourselvs think of per-
sons of this ilk would not look
respectable in print. What the
intelligent gentle thinks of
them would correspond unques-
! tionably almost exactly with
what the faithful adherents of
the faith abjured by the rene.
.gades feel concerning them.
~. From a book that has just
ben published we quote the fol.
lowing paragraph to show the
latitude of intelligent gentiles
A. towards Jews whose chief ain
inslife seems to be to break il
where they are not wanted:

paying for it in advance, even
under the camoufage of charity
and benevolence-and both the
method and results are not
creditable to the Jews talent for
bargaining. A fact which seems
to me peculiar is that even the
intelligent, high-class Jew so
often permits himself to be
cajoled by gentiles into liberal
financial support of various pub
lie enterprises although the very
persons who solicit his aid draw
upon him the social dead line.
Self-respect, it would seem,
should suggest the demand for
recognition Of himself and his
race as well as of his money.
Considering his pride of race
and resentment of the obvious
discrimination against him, the
Jew should be consistent
which he not always is. When
the chance arises to slip under
the big tent he sometimes takes
advantage of it. A certain pros
prous club in this city was
founded by Jews. Many of the
original Jewish members have
dropped out. Many, however,
main. Some years after this
organization the club began to
refuse admission to Jews. Did
those who were already men,
bers resign? They did not. Had
they done so the aforesaid club
would soon have been on its
uppers. Another club in this
city is so exclusive that it not
only objects to Jewish blood, but
also resents business and matri-
monial alliances of prospective
members with Jews. Everybody
knows this, yet Jews-and
prominent ones-often accept
entertainment at this club"
The above is interesting from
the fact that it was written by
one who is pleading against
prejudice between Jews and
Gentiles. The thought of the
writer of the above may not be
as translucently clear as it
might be, but it reflects the con-
tempt which an intelligent Gen.
tile has for Jews who are de.
ficient in proper respect fol-
