As regards the more speculative mar- 'kets, there was an upward tend- ency in rubber, shares. In view of the fact that most of yesterday's recovery in prices was due to the better feeling with regard to the political outlook, it was, perhape. only natural that there should have been a set-back in commodi- ties.

The building, which will have a seating capacity of approx mately one thousand, will. be erected on main thoroughfare of the exhibition grounds. It has not yet been decided whether the planetarium will, after the closing of the Word's Fair. remain on the original site or be removed, to another location in Paris as a per- manent object of interest.
The Zeis Planetarium has created & sensation at the World's Fairs held at Stockholm in 1930, at Chicago in 1933; and at 'Brus- sels in 1935, and the projected Paris Planetarium is confidently expected to prove equally success- fui at the next World's Exhibition here.- Transocean Zuo Min. ̧·

Garge, the farmer's son, entered the outfitter's shop and asked to see some caps. Several were tried on, but none apparently met his requirements. Finally, after the shopman had placed the last of his stock on the counter, he said in desperation:
"Now, sir, what exactly is the king you require?"
Garge scratched his head, puz- zled.
"Well," he said, "I've just got a new motor-bike, so I want a cap with a peak at the back".
