Mudhol pronounced mud-hole) or the Raja
of Poonch, who packs a punch, or poonch.
Then there is the Mulk of Charkhari whose
title sounds like word for curdled milk.
Perhaps the contest title of all is the Jam
of Nawanagar. who is about as nice a ruler
as anyone could ask for. He holds forth in
western India and his income comes from
pearl fisheries along his 100-mile coast.
He is the adopted son of the late, great
"Ranji" Of cricketing fame, who brought his
championship team TO this country several
years ago and who became Jam of havana
gar.
The new Jam, who succeeded to the
throne, or "gaddi," in 1888 is very social
and has visited widely in Europe.
So far his life has been above reproach,
but one expects that a ruler who calls
himself Jam will either get himself into one
or indulge in sickly sweet sentiment.
Africa has its share Of queer titles too
outstanding Of which is that of "Attaboy of
Akin Ahuakwa"
Attaboys real name is Sir Ofori Alta
Omahene, but he is such a good sport that
everyone calls him Attaboy.
number of distinctions have come TO
this paramount king of the African Gold
Coast, principal of which was being kissed
by an even greater king.
He was the late King George V of England,
who had to osculate the cheftain when he
conferred the honor of knighthood on him.
OF course. it was all good clean fun and if
kings and rulers everywhere kissed each other
more often maybe there wouldn't be so many
wars. ~
Attaboy caused a sensation in England
when he visited King George. His retinue
consisted Of a youth who was called "the
soul Of the people" and was not permitted
to get farther away than three feet from
inc a1u firar
native who carried the Royal Umbrella and
a dozen others who bore the regalia Of the
Crown.
Attaboy always wore his Crown wherever
he went and II was Of solid gold and weighed
three or four pounds which is plenty heavy
for anyone's head. His main garment was
multi-colored kaross, a sort of super

on display in a sort of royal museum.
Altogether Attaboy is a wise ruler and,
needless TO say, when the war began he
pledged his support to King George of Eng
land. His men are now fighting for the cause
Of the democracies.
While the British have never had any
trouble with Attaboy, they've had their hands
full with the Bwatomai of Bunyoro Any
one with a name like that deserves trouble.
Think of spelling it over the telephone!
Bwatomai lives and rules in Uganda,
Africa, over which Britain has protectorate.
Bwatomai, hereafter called king for
short has had a bad habit of cutting off
musicians ears and telegraph operators
hands for slight errors. Also he has been
known to cut off the heads of romantic
young men who have made pass at the three
sacred virgins who milk the sacred cows
Naturally, Britain doesn't approve but
since Bunyoro is only protectorate, they
must slap the kings wrist with tact.
The sacred cows are a problem, though
a minor one, for the king himself Nobody
is permitted near the COWS except the virgins
and the cows are given the run Of the kings
palace.
One COW roamed into the kings bedroom
and cured up on top of the sleeping monarch
who was almost crushed TO death. But no.
body could rescue him except the three sacred
virgins. One of them was finally found and
dispatched TO get bossy off His Majestys
bed
The virgins the glamour girls of the
tribe Their faces, arms and shoulders are
painted with white clay and their hair is
pulled out with tweezers.
The king wears white false whiskers
whenever he has 10 decide anything of inn
portance and II would be unconstitutional
for him 10 put anyone TO death without the
beard hanging from his chin.
The king has two wives and a royal
flatterer and a royal cursor.
The flatterer wakes him up in the morn
ing with preposterous praise saying he is
the greatest. bravest, handsomest and most
terrifying sovereign there ever was.
AS soon as the fatterer has exhausted
his adjectives the royal cursor takes his
place. He accuses the king OF all sorts OF
crimes real and imaginary, insults him and
his family and all his ancestors arid gener-
ally makes him feel like a worm.

tired of it all and left the country, leaving
the present ruler as king
The present Wall is as good as gold to
his subjects, which is more than can be said
about his neighbor the Pr Of Pagaro.
The Pr Of Pagaro holds forth on the
frontier province of Sind. But one can hardly
say he was more Sind against than SHINING.
The Fir is leader Of the Hurs and the
IIurs look upon their pockmarked leader as
God. Needless 20 say, they are about as
nasty "a bunch of people as the British have
ever had 10 deal with.
The Hurs raise cattle and because their
lands are almost desert, their trials and
trbuations have given them short tempers.
They are supposed 20 be Mosems, but just

Now his supporters want his release from
a British Jail. Since they don't know how
TO read or write they put their demand into
action by widespread robbery, murder and
assorted violence including the deraiment of
several crack trains.
SO the British with their usual patience
locked up the ringeaders and ordered mar
tial law for the Hurs, probably for the dura-
ton.
Neghbors of the Wall and Pr have
curious titles too. Consider the Raja of

The Pr, because he is pock-
marked, believes that he will fulfill
the ancient prophecy that only a
pocked man can become King of
Sind.
The Pr has a number of sons,
but it is difficult to recognize
ones relatives in this tiny para
disc because the Hurs share
wives. sisters and daughters.
The Pr has been in trouble
since the day he was born. but
the British didn't catch up with
him until 1880. He had a favorite
named Ibraham who displeased
him so he had his eyelashes and
eyebrows plucked out and then
locked him up in a narrow
box. Ibraham escaped but was
hunted down with hounds.
He was put in a smaller box.
The police finally rescued
Ibraham and found him look
ing like a ghost, pale as death,
and smelling like a polccat."
The Pr was brought TO trial

After his death his two sons tried TO
grab the power at once and the Swat Valley.
Upper and Lower Swat, was divided into
two opposing camps. The sons realized they
weren't getting very far, after years Of bick

the British governor, they both literally died
OF exhaustion.
The Akhunds four grandsons attempted
20 bring some order 20 Swat and 20 rule

Secretary Perkins Urges
Broader Social Security
By the Associated Press.

BY iHe Associated PRESS.
NEW YORK, April 8.-Secretary
of Labor Perkins last night called
for immediate expansion of the So
cial security program to prevent in
hation and to serve as a brake on
postwar def1ation.
Speaking at the National Confer
ence of Women, sponsored by the
New York Times, she declared:
There can be no question of our
ability to pay for an adequate sys-
tenn of social security at this time.
Indeed, we can hardly envisage
An equally propitious time to in
troduce a plan of saving and post
poned spending This is a period
when, for reasons of preventing in
f1ation, it is desirable to withdraw
purchasing power from the market.
The postwar period will be a
time when we want to release pur-
chasing power to prevent too severe
deflation.'
Miss Perkins said the cost of the
program could be covered at the
outset by "a tax of no more than
10 per cent of payrolls' shared
equally by employer and employe,
with eventual three-way contribu-
tions, the Government paying its
third.
Mrs. j. Borden Hartman, former
Minister to Norway, who also spoke,
called on leaders of national, State
and local women's organizations to
exert pressure on members of Con-
eress and American leaders to as
sure An American role in a postwar
cooperative society. The only al
tentative, she said, would be chaos.
