The head of the 8lamese pomal system, 1'hya Prakit Kolusama. who has keen iuiecllng the United States postal system, reports communica tion systems well udvauced In his native land. Slant's air mall system has oier ated successfully for six yeiwa. Telegraph offices numher 472, and 4.r)G postofflces serve every city and rural center. Wireless serv ice handles messages to foreign countries. Siam, one of the last nations on earth where a king is an absolute monarch, outsteps some European colonies that are her neighbors In the march of progress, according to u summary of recent geographic changes In the lund of the white elephant, prepared by the National Ceographlc Society. Good and Bad America nVititora Two Kinds of American visitors, one good, one had, figure promi nently In the kingdom's new pros perity. Francis boyes Sayre, the late President Wilson's son ln-law, and Dr. Hugh M. Smith, former commissioner of the 11. S. bureau of fisheries, are stuuiKh aids to Siam. The former headed a com mission which secured treaties from foreign nations that removed extra territorial rights and lined tariff restrictions; Dr. Smith now directs the development of Slam's fishery resources. The unwelcome American visitor is the lovely hut malicious "Florida weed." The blue water hyacinth of Florida, brought to the Kast In dies as a flower, has become a curse. Because the queen of Slam brought the first specimen for her garden it 1b often called Java weed, but out in the country where it creates a national pioblem by clog ging the irrigation canals it has earned the name, "blue devil." Irrigation and Railway Project. ' Slam, Jungles, heavy rainfall, are three Ideas closely associated. Why, then, must Siam build irriga tion dams and canals? The an swer is that the jungles are in the mountainous border lands: the cen tral delta plain receives an Illinois rainfal. Because the Siamese grow rice, they must have a wealth of water; hence, Irrigation. The Pra sak project, with a barrage type dam. completed In 1M4. serves 4X!j,000 acres. The Subhan project, scheduled for early completion, will have three times the Praaak ca pacity. Other vast works are un der way or have been planned. Hallroads Kow equals promise. Siam, by its position, is a natural railroad center of the world's dens est population area, llangkuk, the capital, and Siamese metropolis. Is the Inevitable major railroad Junc tion for all south and east Asia. Karachi, India, to Vladivostok, Si beria, is a 6000-mile railroad dream for which Slam prepares. About two-thirds of the trackage Is com plete. The vital branch line, Bang kok to Singapore, 1188 miles long, has been finished, and puts Siam ese within three days travel of the great inirt. Kastern Siamese lines ' reach the Indo-Chinese border at two points. The northeast line is within easy reach of Burma. Slam wait for these next-door colonies to catch up will) her progress. - A hint of the itnortance to Slam of her railroads, all built since 193, Is contained la the recent re port of an American agricultural expert. "I was told," he writes, "that a train load of rice goes south dally for export to Mulnya and the Dutch East Indies." Hlce is to Sinm what cotton Is to the south. Love Live In a Palace in Siam "Coma live in a paJace," Slam In vites the tourist. The state fall way system operates hotels as well ns trains. The royal suites of Its l'hya Thai hotel at Bangkok are. indeed, royal suites, having been occupied by royalty before the pal ace was given to the railroad sys tem by the king. And there Is a royal price attuched. Itoyal Suite No. 2, excluding fond, can he en gaged for 1-0 thills (I tlcal Is Univalent to 44 cents! per liny. " it J2 UMtrj)l An error! It should be 120 bahts.

I Minister of Agriculture at Plow I The month of May marks the be 1 ginning of the oJ-linportant rice plating. King a:nl court and thou sands of subjects tuin out for the Itak Na or ploughing ceremony. Before the vast crowd the minister I of agriculture, dignified with a hat like a spire, and gorgeoiu gown, ' guides a huge abided wooden plow j drawn by two gaily decked bul I locks. After the ploughing various : seeds and grains are spread before 'the bullocks. It is an anxious mo jurent for the milling iiopuluce. Whatever grass or grain the oxen eat most will be scarce during the (coming season; at least the Siam ese think ho. Modern Occidental Appointments Oriental still In spirit. Slam ac quires modern occidental appoint ments of great variety. The gov ernment runs on a budget and Siam, too, has been passing through an ecuuomy program. The king, by way of exumpe, cut his royal al lowance by 3,0(i(i,OUU bahts. The me.ric system has replaced Wi den' measuring units and beomes :omutilsory in I'JIIU.
