son or another have shed the purple.
Siam, with its area Of 100000 square
miles and roundly 100000 inhabit-
ants, is the remaining independent
kingdom In Southeastern Asia. It has
been torn with violent agitation ever
since the system of absolute monarchy
was overthrown by a coup d'etat in
1882. A new constitution, providing
for limited monarchy, ensued, and
under it Prajadhipok continued to rule
more or less contentedly and to the
peoples satisfaction. But the princes,
army officers and conservative poll
ticians, who had been compelled to
surrender their former privileged po-
sition, chafed under the domination
Of the revolving constitutional reform
ers and their insistence upon constant

authority. Bloodshed, ceaselesS politi-
cal turmoil, civil war, banishments,
imprisonments and other upheavals
have in consequence marked the
course Of Siamese history during the
past two years, eliminating in the
departure of King Prajadkipok for Eu-
rope in the hope that his absence
from the scene might tend to tran
quilize the situation and permit him
to remain on the throne under con-
ditions commensurate with his dignity
and agreeable to the nation.
Evidently his little majesty discov-
cred this to be hopeless outlook and
has elected to face the inevitable. The
world waits to see the next phase
whether Prajadhipok's going means
also the disappearance of monarchy
in Siam, its succession by a republic
or a military dictatorship, or the
country's eventual absorption within
other domains now in process Of ex-
pansion on the mainland of Asia.

tions Of the market, both those which
are legitimate and those which have
been called questionable. This book, by
the professor Of insurance and COM
merce of the Wharton School of
Finance and Commerce of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania was originally
published in 1922, but has been re-
vised, enlarged and brought into har-
mony with the changes effected
through 1884, in collaboration with
G. L. Amrhein and C. A. Kline, both
Of the University of Pennsylvania. It
constitutes an authoritative account
of stock market organization, func-
tions, services, principles and prac-
tices and regulations both early and
recent. The relations Of stock mar
kets to business enterprises and to
individuals are explained and their
importance in the economic life of
the world is pointed out. Technical
matters. such as the mechanism by
which securities change hands and
factors controlling prices of securities,
are also elucidated. The book is val
liable as text book for students of
finance and economics and as O refer
ence book for public and private Il

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Pink Slip.
Hand me that little pink slip
And on it the figures I'll flip.
I'll welcome the snooper
Who comes with a trooper
To find I've not garbled my Scrip"
thought incomes taxes were wrong
Excepting with war going strong.
The Governments glory,
Demanding my story,
Put discord into my sweet song.
A notary bids me aver.
The Government next will demur,
With hints all audacious
That I'm not veracious.
It won't even call me Dear Sir"
That little pink slip hand to me.
It makes me "see red" I'll agree.
But since we're in position
For tax inquisition,
Let's make it a grand third degree.

mighty responsibility which rested
upon them. No matter what the coun-
try thinks of the decision-and there
will be differences of opinion as there
were among the individual members
of the court-there is no denying that
the Supreme Court arrived at its con-
c!usions TO the satisfaction of the
consciences Of the members"
The attitude of the country is ana
lyzed by various editors. The uncer-
tainty has had a decidedly adverse
effect on business activity" in the
opinion Of the Texarkana Gazette,
while the Richmond News Leader
states that ''the final tribunal Of
American justice has disSipated the
fear of new gold crisis" and the
Philadelphia Inquirer thinks the
President can go ahead. subject to
approval of Congress, with the hands
of the administration strengthened"
The Boise idaho Capital News feels
that "the decision clears the tracks
ahead for American business" and
the New York Times concludes that
"the courts authority and prestige
have been reinforced" The Wall
Street Journal is convinced that 'its
effects had been discounted in ad-
vance" The Indianapolis News sees
"a good effect on business"
The Birmingham (Ala) Age Herald
says: This paper sees in the ma
jority rulings no undermining of the
Constitution. but it can conceive that
it might be possible for man-made
Constitution. like so many man-made
laws, to fall short, under changed
conditions and literal reading, of JUS
tice and liberty and reason. In that
event, it is time even for constitutions
to be changed. But always, it should
be added, with deliberation and the
exercise of the greatest possible wis
DOM"
In the decision concludes the
Chicago Daily News, there is conso.
lation for both sides in this long
standing controversy. On the one
hand the power of Congress to regu-
late the value of money emergeS from
the smoke of legal battle clarified and
strengthened. On the other, there Is
an implied rebuke for the admins
tration in the finding that while
holders of Federal gold bonds have no
recourse. yet the gold clause in the
Federal bonds is valid, and the Gov
ernment, In failing to honor it, has
broken pledge"

King Prajadhipok Quits,

At the end Of three years of in
cessant storm and strife at BANGKOK,
King Prajadhipok of Siam, from his
self-ordained exile in the placid Eng
lish countryside, has proclaimed his
abdication and paved the way for the
accession of an eleven-year -old
nephew, Prince Amanda, to his shaky
throne. The King puts away his
ancient crown as an entirely volun-
tary act.
For months a parliamentary dele
cation has been dickering with him in
England, with view to his retention
of power, but as he resented being
stripped of certain prerogatives,
Prajadhipok, diminutive of stature,
but capable of being every inch a
rugged personality when occasion de-
manded. declined to remain King on
Parnament's conditions. He now
Joins the worlds ever-srowins colony

to every fellow creature he encount-
cred on his pilgrimage through the
world.
Perhaps his achievements might
have been more distinctly notable than
they were had he been less completely
a man Of altruistic impulses. A GER
tain egocentric concentration appears
to be needed for the attainment Of the
highest esthetic honors, and Mr.. Bush
Brown simply did not possess that sort
Of -sufhciency. He thought in
social terms and labored for the COM
mon good more than would have been
wise in an individual ambitious for
purely personal success.
But his works were advantaged by
his extraordinary idealism. A certain
monumental nobility distinguishes
them, and they testify to the patri-
otism, the charity and the basic chiv-
airy of their creator. He was, indeed,
equipped with the sympathies and
the understanding required for proper
appreciation of heroes like Anthony
Wayne and the unknown Mountain
eer Soldier.
It goes without saying that Mr..
Bush-Brown will be missed in the
Nations Capital. For more than a
quarter century he had been an ac-
tive participant in every phase of
Washington's cultural progress, build
ing himself into the story of the city's
growth and making his own contri-
button toward its welfare. Those who
knew him intimately loved him, and
strangers, meeting him only over a
distance, respected him and were
grateful for his example.

get them up your nose and can't get
rid of them.
Perhaps it is a glue one is using.
II can still smell It," one says, with
a shudder, minutes afterward.
It may be that atoms or molecules

Why shouldn't some materials, in
a complex world Of endless materials,
possess the ability to impress them
selves veritably into the mind, or
wherever it is memory reigns?
Onions, for instance.
The common garden onion, either
the Spring variety or the globular
affair, has a remarkable ability at it.
Those who dislike onion smell-this
includes leeks, garlic and a few
others-dislike 1t, and there Is no
use telling them they do not.
They hate it.
They despise 1t.
| They want to get as far away from
the land of onion as possible.
If there Is place where violets
grow, where daisies pied and pink
apple blossoms twine into chains,
If there is a land Of clover in bloom,
that is where they want to go i'm
mediately they smell onions.
The cursed odor Of the onion ex-
ceeds, for them, the atrocious smell
of boiling cabbage or mustard greens
on the half-shell.
Phew!
Pfah! as they say in books.
Leaves of mustard put on the stove
send forth fumes as of the lower
regions.
This is something one has to smell.
| You could write about it all day and
never once give the reality of it.
You have to smell it.
Still it must be admitted that
such things, after the cooking, after
the smelling, have some taste to 'em,
which is more than one can say of
spinach.
The reign Of spinach, we veritably
believe, is coming to an end.
Every time we take pen in hand
to lambaste spinach-a safe subject
we receive one or more letters from
dear ladies who inclose recipes for
putting taste into this dish.
And still 1t has none.
No matter how carefully the in
functions are carried out, no matter
how much sugar, or cottage cheese,
or lemon, or whatnot is used. poured
over it, mixed with it, placed on top
of it, no matter what is done to it,
or how. it indubitably remains
spinach, first, last and always.
Suppose it does contain vitamins? ?
Suppose it has been called the broom
of the stomach?
Many things contain vitamins,
bushels Of them, if We can believe
the growers and the manufacturers.
Spinach has no monopoly on vita
minis, but in one thing it surely shines,
and that is, alas, in lack of taste
One thing, alone, is more taSteleSs
-kale.
There is no hope for kale, but
some genius may be able to put some
taste in spinach some day, and when
he does it will be news far out
shining that of odorless cabbage.

High Courts Gold Decision
Accepted as Welcome Relief

Newspaper comment on the Supreme
Courts decision in the gold cases re-
fleets chiefly national satisfaction over
having the problem out of the way,
and also quite general approval of the
5-to-4 action upholding the Govern
ment's right to devalue the dollar and
void gold clauses in private contracts.
I'm view Of the substantial justice
done" says the Kansas City Times,
there is difficulty in understanding
the reasoning Of Justice McReynolds,
in his dissenting opinion, that the
Constitution has been swept away"
The Scranton Pa.) Times remarks
that stripped of all legalistic verbiage,
the dollar today is as good as the dol
lar was before the Supreme Courts de-
ciSion sustaining the devaluation of
money and the suspension of gold pay
mentS."
THE court made national history"
according to the Portland Oregon
Journal. "Its decision in the gold
clause issue gave tremendous momen-
tum to national recovery. That deci-
sion sustained in material particulars
the authority of Congress to devalue
the dollar. In so deciding the court
undoubtedly prevented a panic of mi
nor or major character. 1t contributed
to national morale, already revived by
the recovery program. 1t gave to pri-
vate industry and capital an incentive
to join more largely with the Govern
ment in economic establishment.
The reflex of the decision was seen
at once in the upward movement of
securities. 1t was felt in the great
sense of relief that passed across the

however, thus summarizes the courts
action: "1t could not help appreciat-
ing that 1t was writing decision with
the eyes Of the world turned upon it
and with the long perspective Of his
