"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," for it may also wear a bullet has been realised by the Shah of Persia when driving m the streets of Teheran. Two bonvbs were thrown at his carriage from an adjacent housetop. Fortunately for him one exploded m the air and another burst 1 near his motor car, killing several of his outriders. His tribal cavalry who formed his escort left off escorting and fled .to save their own skins, whilst the poor monarch, who occupied a carriage m the rear, escaped unhurt to his palace f There are more pleasant billets m this world than a Shah's.
