 King and Queen Crowned
 On Historic Thrones
 Westminster Abbey, heart of the Empire, the "theater" of this majes- tic pageant, is ready. The principal ceremony takes place at the inter- section of the choir and transepts. Here square platform has been built, covered with cloth of gold. The King will sit in richly drap- ed chair in the center to receive the homage of his peers.
 In the sacrarium which forms part of the altar space, are placed the thrones in which the King and Queen are crowned. The most an- cient one is known as King Ed wards and is for the King. The Queens is known as Queen Mary's. The back of the altar has been draped with purple and gold silk. The floor of the sacrarium has been covered with purple and gold car- pet.
 Royal Couple Greeted
 By Ecclesiastical Chant
 When the procession from Buck ingham Palace to the Abbey reach es the great West Door, the sov- ereign will be received by the Pre- bendaries and the Dean of Vest minister Abbey, followed by the Kings equerries, gentlemen ushers, grooms- s-in-waiting and high offic- CTS of the Crown-all in gorgeous uniforms. Next will come the staff, spurs, orb, sceptre and swords of state, all carried by peers whose hereditary job it is. The King will wear a robe of crimson velvet trim- med with ermine and gold lace-the queen, purple velvet ana erm1ne.
 As the royal pair steps inside the Abbey, their ears will hear the choir intoning the anthem:
 T was glad when they said un- to me: we will go into the House of the Lord."
 Archbishop Presents King

Now the Archbishop of Canterbury, primate of the Church of England, accompanied by the Lord Chancellor, Lord Great Cham berlain, Lord High Constable and Earl Marshal, goes to the four cor ners of the platform, corresponding to the four points of the compass.

WHAT OTHER

Here's a Tax You May No,
Have Heard About

Increased telephone rates were
predicted by President Walter S.
Clifford of the American Telephone
& Telegraph Company at the an
nual meeting in New York on April
81 If the prices of practically
everything, including wages and
taxes, continue to rise"
That company employees were
faring well was indicated when
the force of more than 10000;
had risen more than S90,000,000
from the depression low to the
present annual rate of about
S436, 100000; that telephone en-
ployment was increasing steadily
and that in the last Is months
there had been net increase in
the force of more than 10000;
that practically all of the $4,000
employees were on a 5-day work
week, with maximum of 40
hours, compared to a 5l2- or g.
day work week prior to the de-
preston.
Many telephone users who took
the time to read the message with
their April bills learned one of the
reasons why the cost of having
telephones is high. One the Sec
ond page at the bottom was in
formation to the effect that the
Bell system paid in taxes last year
SIG, 100000, which equalled 1886
for each elephone in service. In
other words about 10 cents of the
telephone bill each customer re-
ceives each month goes for taxes.
= The article goes on to say that
these taxes represent about $470
per year for each telephone COM
pany employee, which means that
the company has to contribute
about 2596 of its payroll for the
Governments payroll. - Industry
