King Farouk Has
Had an EVentful
Rule in Egypt
BY TALBOT LAKE

LING FAROUK OF Egypt had a
H policy of keeping Egypt out of
the war. Now that is gone. AL
though Egypt is nominally inde-
pendent. the British have a mill
tary alliance with that country.
The King is unique in being the
first independent ruler Of that an
cient country since the days Of the
Pharoahs.
He is young, having been born
on February IL. 1919. When he
assembled the throne with great
pomp and ceremony in 1887 on the
death of his ailing father, he re-
ceived no crown nor sword. The
Mohammedans don't believe in
crowns and the ancient sword Of
the great Mohammed Ally could
not be found. No other would do
When Farouk was fourteen. his
father fell so Ill that the British
decided to groom him for the
throne. He was shipped to England
and established in gloomy manor
on Kingston Hill. where he was
virtual prisoner. There, surround
ed with crowd of tutors he was
taught large variety Of subjects.
and it was hoped to send him to
Woolwich Arsenal. the British
West Point. However, his father
died and he returned to Egypt.
He is a six-footer, tall. good
looking and personable. He rides,
shoots, swims and plays polo we'll.
Life in the Egyptian Army taught
him how to pitch his own tent,
cook his own food and how to drill.
He can also weave, repair shoes
and do metal work.
In 1888 Farouk married Farida
Zulficar. aged sixteen. the daugh-
ter of a Judge. The wedding was
a greatly attended and celebrated
affair. A few months later an at
tempt was made to assassinate the
king. but a policeman, seeing the
assassin. jumped up in time and
spoiled his aim. Farouk escaped.
The assassin was a member Of
the Blue Shirts, or Wafdist group.

tiful when she was young" tact
less woman, meaning to be kind,
said to a husband about his really
lovely wife. There's where you are
wrong" he answered quickly: "She
is much looking now than
she ever was"
AS matter Of fact. 1t is prob
ably true; there's a certain quality
in youth we mistake for beauty
it is beauty. the beauty that Is
youth, but it fades with youth, de-
priving the adult woman not only
of her youth but her looks as well.
Mere prettineSs often does not
outlaSt youth, but 1t Is possible to
imagine a girl with ordinary good
features, gaining rather than los
ing with the years. To the regular
ity of her features is added char
acter and the inner light some
faces show. II she isn't silly enough
to dye her hair. but turns her softly
grazing locks into an asset, she
may indeed grow looking.
especially if she dresses with dis
erection and dignity.
Weather Eye on Husband
Older women frequently make
the mistake Of dressing, it
might help If they kept a weather
eye on their husbands just to give
them lead on what type of woman
catches his eye. For even the
best of husbands, faithful in their
fashion, are not blind; they can see
and admire other women. What
type? That's what q sensible wife
should try to find out and, just by
way of cheer, I'll bet the type he
admires is the type his wife used to
be and maybe still could be II she
got wise to herself.
It's pretty generally admitted
that an ageing man looks with de-
light on young women. 1t seems
silly to women, but it's very serious
to them. l might add also that 1t
is downright stupid Of men not to
recognize the same tendency in
women. Why shouldn't an ageing
woman prefer tn e society OF
younger men? She may not admit
it, having been brought UP in the
belief that 1t is wrong somehow,
but as q matter of fact an ageing
woman often. and perhaps always.
is attracted to young men. And
why not? Isn't sauce for the goose
also sauce for the gander. and vice
versa? Why infer that there's
something wrong in situation in
volying a younger man and an
older woman? Why even assume
that she regards the man as a son?
Why not admit that she is attract
ed to him because he is young?
Keep Pace With Time
Honest men admit that youth
has an attraction for them, so why
make any distinction? It is ap-
parently q perfectly natural at
traction.
No one likes growing old, a beau
tiful woman least OF all, but while
she cannot hold back time, she can
keep pace with it and avoid any OF
the sartorial mistakes q silly wo-
man resorts to. She can keep her
mind flexible and agile and fresh.
Some of life's most precious mo-
ments result from contacts with
kindred minds. A man never out
grows his appreciation of beauty.
but he often gets very tired of the
surface prettiness of youth and
longs for the sympathetic compan-
ionship of women his own age.
It's absurd for an old woman to
think she can compete with youth;
she must establish her own stand
ing and hold her own on her own
ground

Honey and Syrup Are Enlisted

Honey is just as sweet as cane

corn syrup must be kept in closed

DON'T SAVE ON SCHOOLS

OUR RECENT wartime election illustrates the
wide range of complicated issues upon which
voters must be informed in order to vote intelli-
gently. Our schools are the medium through
which workers get at least basic training in the
educational tools necessary for continued progress
throughout life and some understanding Of the
society in which they will live and their RESPONSE
bilities as free citizens.
Our public schools are tax-supported, for we
believe that society all people the basic equa
opportunity which consists of preparation for liV-
ing. No handicap is more lasting or more Gripping
than denial Of opportunities which condemn the
individual to illiteracy.
Because we believe that education is essential
to the welfare of our children and our free way
of life, the American Federation Of Labor has
from the time it was organized used its influence
for the financial support and the cultural eXpan-
sion of our public schools. We cannot afford to de-
crease appropriations for schools even in this wal
crisis. We now expect schools to prepare youth
i'm the shortest possible time for the response.
blltles Of War-a task that only the most eff.
Clent schools can manage. Boys and girls must
have suitable training as they develop and ne
amount Of training later will quite overcome fail
ure to time education to growth.
Central labor unions and state federatOnS
should carefully watch local appropriations fol
public schools. AS national war taxes increase anC
sources for which local governments rely for in
come dWindle, it will be increasingly difficult tc
maintain revenues for schools. 1t should be the
special responsibility of labor to watch these ap.
preparations and to guard against attempts tc
limit them by resort to the use OF special deViscS
fixing ratios or percentages. Our economics should
be in other public services and reductions in schoo
last resort.
The federal government should supplement
local efforts to assure equal educational oppor
tuniteS to the children Of all citizens regardless
or the economic prosperity of the region.
