Siom-WiII It Turn To Dictatorship

AST of the absolute monarchies,
 ancient Siam underwent bloodless revolution in 1892, emerged with a new constitution declaring limited monarchy, full franchise for the people, an elect cd parliament. Today there arc signs that the land of Buddhist temples, elephants and gracious manners is turning toward dic- tatorship.
 For democracy, apparently, has not penetrated the consciousness of Siam's 14,0O0,000 people and, instead, the successes of Japan, Germany and Italy are said to have fired the ambitions of Slams leaders. Moreover, Siam is fear ful lest it lose its independence to one of the several stronger nations hemming it in.
 If this dictatorship comes, it will be military. Already the army is in complete control, expanding it's activities each year. Should Siam face invasion sorQe Gay, she will have bargaining power at least. Right now China is wielSing great power in Siam, flooding the tiny state with immigrants. Britain, France and Japan must also be watched, Siam feels. So she turns toward totalitarian rule. A cur rent Siamese airmail stamp is shown here.

 Joe slid an arm around her.
 Just in the interest of science, :" he said, when did you decide to fade out on the prospective ache ologist and go for me?"
 DO you really want to know? I sort of began to toy with the idea when you woke up in Uncle Tyler's bed with your hair all rum- pied and that funny look on your face. And then, what with one lit tie thing and another, it just seemed to grow and grow. Great oaks, you know"
 Great okiedokes," said Joe de- liriously. Next question. When and where will you marry me?"
 That's cinch. Any time you want. In Buffalo, Rochester, Syra- cuse, Schenectady, Albany, Yonkers New York and all points north south, east and west"

 Why not?"
 Why not, is right. Except'-he had one fieeting moment of doubt -"eXcept that you're big this and that in society and I'm a candy salesman earning 50 bucks a week | and .'

 We're in the chips, darling, said Kelly.

GOOD DIPLOMACY

He went on to say that officers who did good job abroad had to spend every dime they could legal ly lay their hands on to save face for the United States by living in the right way. You can't, for in- stance, entertain the foreign sec retary of Dingbat at dinner serv- ed on an oilcloth table in three room flat just because Georgie needs the money at Harvard. Geor- gie will have to do without.
 But foreign service officers are not diplomats for nothing. The ap- propriations committee approved the $5l ,0OG for pay raises. That was in the budget. But not in the budget was an item of s30,0O0 with which to hire 12 additional foreign serv- ice officers to help out in some of the foreign stations which are undermanned.
 What does an officer do at a post when he gets sick and has no assistant? MT. Messersmith had an answer for that, too.

for salaries for foreign service of ficers," continued McMillan and the lads from the department had a time of it. They were asking $51,- 900 for automatic" salary increases due the foreign service officers in the career service and before it was over some really heart-rending tales had been told. Said George s. Messersmith, veteran Assistant Secretary of State:
 T have hot, since I entered the service 22 years ago, saved a single penny of my salary or my private income, which, as I say. is very modest one. But have done that because I have felt that the modest retirement allowance will be suf- ficient to cover me after am re- tired.
 T have felt, however, consistent ly during that time that I was doing a great injustice to my family"

T could tell you some very in- teresting stories in that connection, MT. Bacon. An officer was telling me the other day-he was station ed in Africa-how he kept receiving telegrams when he was down with a fever. He dragged himself to the safe in his office He was the only person there authorized to use the code. That is the sort of thing which happens when we have only one man at a post
 So the committee voted them the $30 900 also.

 Many middle-class Americans will be living in magic houses" g years from now.
 But don't expect them, or their neighbors, to be ga-ga about it. For they took pretty much as matter of course the transition from the cupola cutie and the bay -windoWed behemoth of the Victorian era to the immeasurably more comedy and livable house of 1888.
 And you can count on U. S. miliar with flip p-of-the-finger con- veniences, to take in their stride the houses of 1863 with such mira cles as:
 Telephones that will take down the message whether or not any one answers the phone.
 Newspapers in the Home
 A bedroom light that will go on automatically in the night when one gets out of bed--an important safety gadget since 39 percent of all home falls occur in bedrooms.
 An electric eye that will light the entrance to a house as one ap- breaches it.
 Concealed liz h ing, providing maximum daylight" illumination night and day, and simultaneously flooding every room with health giving rays.
 Television offering home movies baseball and football games and photo finishes of horse races. Per haps a tabloid newspaper by radio or wire facsimile.
 Chemically treated air condi- tioning which will kill germs in noise -deadened, vermin- proof, dust free rooms
 Kitchens will go completely me chanical, and there will be great increase in electrical devices for cooking on the dining room table. Water softeners and moth proof closets will be in common use.
 Old Designs to Linger
 There will be sundry versions of the elegant house of tomorrow. Architectural styles, exterior and interior construction materials ap- pliances and furnishings will come in multiplicity of easily y-assem- bled combinations. Easier assem- ply of materials, experts say, is the key to lower-priced homes)
 Houses will have more flowing lines but many will incorporate graceful contours of classic de- signs. Architectural seers are con- fident that American and French colonials, the Georgian house, Eng fish and Cape Cod cottages still will be popular
 The trend will be toward smaller houses with maximum utilization of space and labor-saving arrange ments. They will come in metals, in brick with steel supports, in fire resistant wood with selt-cleaning paint. in concrete with delicate mosaics, in cinder blocks, in syn thetic stone, in glass, and. possibly, in rubber.
 Pre- fabricated houses will be built of metals, brick panels, plywoods, plaStics and various synthetic ma terials. Some occupants, moving from one town to another, will take their collapsible "prefabs' with them. The trailer-type home, of course, will be taken along on Jaunts to woods, mountains and seashore.
 It will not be fantastic to see combination tile-glass roofs afford ing miniature solariums in small houses. This offers a new use for attics. Special below basement garages will be reached by elevators. Coming also are more basement

dental sections providing for elab- crate landscaping and freedom from traffic hazards.
 Central management will insure neighborhood upkeep, recreational facilities and underground park ing zones. Cities will encourage similar corporations to rehabili- tate rundown residential neighbor- hoods.

 Houses All Gn the Ground
 Many experts believe that in suburban areas houses will be built on a ground-floor plane as far as possible. Living rooms will be shifted to the rear in many cases to escape street noises and provide a view of gardens.
 Large wall sections will be de- voted to windows, or to glass bricks which provide diffused light without loss of privacy. Plumbing lines will be fewer but more effici- ent than today's complicated set ups.
 Many appliances will be built into the house Room -to-room com municating systems will be installed.
 Some experts look for a large number of all-glass houses, the in- side walls and partitions of which will be kept clean by the mere rub of sponge. Floors, in winter, would be covered by thick car pet of solid rubber made of remov- able squares to afford easy clean ing.
 Water will be piped along the Walls-to cool the house in sum- mer and to clean the glass.
 Authorities see a definite trend to planned large-scale production of single and multiple family homes for sale and rent. Limited dividend corporations will build entire resi-
