EGYPT Another House Of Bondage

and Policy were circulating in the
United States. La RipOste de-
manded police intervention.
Egypt also has a Section of the
International League against Anti
Semitism. One of the most in
teresting indications of the atti-
tude of the Egyptians was provid-
ed in 1885 when the Government
cooperated with the Jewish COM
munity in arranging a series of
meetings and lectures in honor OF
the 800th anniversary celebration
for Maimonides, pridefully claim
ed as citizen of Cairo. Maimin-
ides Street in Cairo dates from
that time, when the Royal Minis
ter of Education joined with Jews
in acclaiming Maimonides' con-
tribution to Egyptian and world
civilization.
Perhaps the foremost figure a.
>mong Egyptian Jews was Joseph
Cattaui Pasha. who died last
year. One commentator called
him 1.-THE modern Joseph of mod
ern Egypt" The great irrigation
systems of Egypt, its modern no.
tells, it's flourishing sugar industry
owe their origin and strength to
Joseph Cattaui and to his father
in-law. The huge Misr bank grew
out of the series of financial in
stitutions they established to mod
ernie Egypt's monetary system.
Cattaui was the first Jewish Cab
met member in modern Egyptian
history, becoming Finance Minis
ter in 1924. He had served his
country in various capacities be-
fore that, going to London for the
1921 peace talks. In the follow
ing year he helped frame Egypt's
liberal constitution and in 1924
was elected deputy in the newly
created Parliament. He was con-
sidered for the last two decades of
his life the outstanding Jew of
Egypt. A commentary on his
European fame was provided in
1889 by Queen Wilhemina when
she made him Commander of
the order of Orange Nassau.
Other Jews have been promi-
nent in Egypt's modern develop
ment. It's Chief Rabbis have US
ually been recognized by the gov
eminent. Thus Yom Tov Israel,
head of the Cairo rabbinate in the
last part of the century, was
named member of the legislative
assembly by Khedive Ishmial.
In the year when Cattaui became
Finance Minister two other Jews,
Joseph de Picciotto Bey and Hahn
Nahoun Effendi, became Senate
members. Such names as those
of the Cattauis, the Rolos, the
the Saurezes, the Har-
raris and the Smouhas have en-
riched the life and development
Of the Egyptian people. Agricul-
ture, industry, finance and cul-
ture have known the beneficent |
gifts of the Jews in the last sixty
years, during which they have en-
joyed civic equality.
The Jewish life of Egypt used
to be mirrored by a press which
consisted of two weeklies and a
But in 1887 Kadimah,
the monthly, was forced by the
Government to suspend because of
protests by the German Embassy
at Cairo.
Like most other Jewish COM
in the world, there is
also division in Egypt.
The .Ashkenazim, Sephardim
and Karaites are sharply divided,
although less so in the last few
years. Each group has its own
synagogues, schools, charitable
organizations and community

consulting with Brazilian ndusriaIists and echncians to
aid them accelerate their production.
This will not only be helpful 10 the effort OF the

creates formula for permanent cooperation IN the new

The good neghbor" policy would eventually bog
down If il rested on making Uncle Sam permanently pay

Likewise it would fail if it neglected to take into
consideration the legitimate trade needs OF both North

OBVIOUSLY we cannot permanently undertake TO
" import from the South agricultural materials OF
which our own farmers normally produce surplus.
But we can be genuine friends in need to our Latin
American neighbors if lend them our know now
which produced and better goods IN our own country
Such an interchange of technical ideas will strengthen
our neghbors instead of exploiting them.
1t will help to put them the track which after the
war will lead to the raising of the living standards OF
their people.
With increased domestic productivity and with
balanced national economy Brazil and the other principal
Latn-American countries will be able to thrive while
standing their own legs.
This will create solid economic foundation Tor

An Outmoded Tradition

POLITICAL observers discussing prospects of the
7 Wayne County Home Rule Amendment in the Novem-
Der election agree that deepseated distrust among
rural voters of any emanating from Wayne
County seems be chief factor against the proposal
We are inclined to believe dead political tradition
is being used as basis these conclusions Live facts
controvert that outmoded tradition.
In this generation many thousands of young and
middle-aged voters from farm homes and small commun-
ties who graduated from high schools who attended
the State College, the State University Alma, Hisdale
or other institutions of higher learning They do not
think along provincial lines.
IF THEY believe proposed constitutional amendment
good they not going to vote against their con-
scentious belief merely because the proposal emanates
from some certain geographical
These folk know their big cities fully as well as do

to voters of the rural regions opportunity to help fellow
citizens of county clean up mess that has long
needed renovation In any issue between good
government even though their vote does not directly
affect their county government
IF AT some time or other their home affairs be
improved by the support of Wayne County voters, the

Foot Strain Often Caused
By Neglect Of Trivial In jury
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

THE feet are complicated
Il structures. No two per-
sons feet are exactly alike and
every persons foot changes dur
ing his adult life to adapt itself
TO the use it gets.
Sherlock Holmes could tell a
mans occupation by his hands.
He could do so equally well by
examining the feet.
The clerk in a store, who has
TO be on his feet all day. has
an entirely different foot from
the desk worker, and indeed a
standing occupation leads TO diff
ferent adjustments than occur
in the feet Of people whose
occupation requires continual
walking.
THE ideal foot is purely a mat
Il ter of definition. For per-
son of given height and weight
the exact point where the most
strain occurs can be calculated
to within a spot the size Of
penny, on the heel. the instep
and the ball of the toes.
But every one hasn't toe bones
of exactly the same length, nor
heel bones of exactly the same
size.
They try TO make adjustments
and sometimes the adjustment
isn't entirely successful.
Strain. increasing weight and
a faulty shoe probably cause
more foot pain than anything
else.
The strain may begin as an
accident so trivial as to result
in neglect.
THUS. a woman suffered pain
Il for over 10 months in the
top of the instep.
When her doctor began TO
dig into her story she related
that she turned her foot once
day downtown when she hoped
out of the way of an automo-
bile, but thought no more
about it.
An X-ray showed that the
bones from the first to fifth toes
had ridges across the top and
the shoe compressed these bones
and she had worn her shoe
until all the bad points about
it were accentuated.
Thus, chronic arthritic changes
had been going on for years.
WITH increasing weight a per-
w son needs to have a shoe
with a base large enough to
afford support.
This is especially true OF the
heels Of women's shoes.
II you will take the trouble
10 make an impression of the
heel of a high-heeled woman's
shoe on a piece of paper and
compare il with the impression
of the heels of a mans shoes,
you will find that in area the

his time perfecting a perpetual

Let every citizen turn over

More Wardens Needed

THERE is scant doubt that Detroit will have plenty of
i volunteer air raid wardens AFTER the first bombs
that military strategsts fear eventually will fall here.
Our citizens have been accused of faint hearts

be explained rather by lack Of appreciation of the
real dangers in store
AFTER the bombs fall will not be enough.

of raid protection and first aid must be understood.

are quite as frequent causes OF
painful feet as strain; but a
strain Is often the beginning
of a diseased condition.
The foot has arthritis just as
much or more so than any other
set of joints.
The constant rubbing and con-
tact with hard and uneven sur
faces creates roughness that
turns into arthritis.
A MOTHER source OF painful
"A feet are inflammations of
little burSa that are placed be-
tween the bones, especially the
heads of the bones.
The bursa really are neces-
sary, since they are filled with
a small amount of lubricating
fluid and keep the bones from
scraping on each other as they
move.
Flat feet actually are in many
instances painful because of the
creation of these areas of ar
thrills, or of inflamed bursa, or
pressure of the bones on ex-
posed nerves.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERS
Mrs. J. II. D.: What is staphy-
lococcus infection? Explain the
cause, symptoms, effects, etc.
Answer: The staphylococcus
Is the germ that is essentially
the pus producing organism.
All skin boils. carbuncles,
pimples, etc, are due to the in
vasion of the skin by the
staphylococcus.
1t also invades the inside
structures of the body-such as
the nose, throat and ear.
Very rarely it invades the
blood stream and produces a
general blood stream infection.

the pitcher hit such a high note
that he completely exhausted
his strength and the next inning
the other side belted him for

McGraw was pretty sore at
the quartet and got Lands to
issue an order ruling them off

IL New York sports writer,

the most disturbing singing
foursomes the world has ever
known, reports to me from a
huge western training center on
the songs being sung by our
soldiers in those parts.
Hy Daab, Ring Lardner, Dave
Walsh and Frank Graham, all
sports writer's, made up a quar-
tet that sang carols around the
annual baseball championship
games. presenting their vocal
efforts on trains. back rooms
and under grandstands, the last
being their favorite location
when the game became dull.
This site met with disap-
prevail from the baseball author
tiles partly because the noise
they created drowned out the
voices Of the peanut vendors of
the Stevens organization crying
their wares through the stands,
but more because of an incident
that occurred during a World
Series game in New York.
ONE of the Frightening Four,
" as the quartet was known
