the river. Because of the waterways
inside Bangkok it is called "the
Venice of the East"
Even Venice cannot match the
water life of Bangkok. The people
live not only beside water, but also
on water. Thousands of families
dwell in houseboats which float on
the Menam River.
Many Chinese live in houseboats,
but no large Chinese city has so large
a portion of the people in floating
homes. There is special reason for
such life at Bangkok. The land near
the river front is mostly low and
there are floods. A family in a
houseboat does not need to fear that
flood water will cover them. In the
low parts of Bangkok, people try to
guard their homes against floods by
building them on high, strong posts.

Hoving through the jungles of
Thailand is somewhat dangerous.
One must watch out for tigers.
Although elephant travel is car

Comptroller


Noun. An officer Dho super
Uses accounts and determines
expenditures.
Why this form is used instead
Of the word controller" is not clear.
Comptroller, according to best au-
thority, is simply bad spelling of the
French "controleur," the result, per-
haps, of mistaken association with
the French word "compte"
Comptroller plainly is a malfor-
nation. 1t is better to use the
spelling controller" since the
meaning and pronunciation of both
words are identical.
Comptroller should not be pro-
nounced "KOMP-trol-ler" in any
event.
Correct pronunciation: Kun TRIO
Ter.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accentedD
Question: have heard iron pro-
nounced "eye-run" on the radio. Is
