was a perfectly scientific piece Of
observation, its only fault being
that it left out a good deal. Be-
tween the two functions that
Johnny described, the thing can
get into a good deal of trouble.
There are twenty-five or more
separate bones in the spinal col

chest vertebrate, FIVE lumbar YER

bones of the coccyx. Between each

Between each vegtebra there is

of injury which has recently been
described and is obtaining atten-

Many Treatments
With all these possibilities it
can be seen that the treatment Of
backache is. not a simple matter.
1t may be all right to try home
remedies, such as heat and the hot
water pad on backache for few
days or a week, but after that |
would advise consultation with a
doctor who has had considerable
experience in this line. He will
take a careful history, make a
physical examination, have an
X-ray Of the spine and be able to
prescribe intelligent treatment on
the basis Of these facts.

ComoufIoged Factories
Bottle Nozi Flyers

During the past two years, factories
have been built throughout the length
and breadth of Great Britain, transform
ing not only the appearance but the
very life of rural England.
The term munitions works" may con-
jure up a mental picture of tall, un-
slightly buildings and high chimney
stacks belching out clouds of black
smoke; but the factories which have
been constructed in Britain during the
past two years, and those still in course
of erection in various parts Of the coun-
try, are the very antithesis of this pic
ture.
The new factories are long. low build
ings, camouflaged to harmonic with the
surrounding scenery. Power for the
machinery is supplied by electricity,
thereby dispensing with the need 1sst
smoking chimney stacks. Many are, in
deed, quite picturesque. For example,
one munitions factory stands on pla-
teau In hilly country transacted by
main arterial road, and its green painted
facade somehow reminds one Of a greatly
magnifled dollhouse. 1t has garden in
which flowers bloom practically all the
year round, and even the wide path to
the great gateway, along which the huge
trucks pass in carrying loads Of ma
chinery, and pass out laden with shells,
is bordered with evergreen and Towering
shrubs. The factory employs approxi-
mately 1000 men and women. chiefly
recruited from nearby villages and coun-
try towns, considerable number of en-
gineers and other skilled workers drawn
from industrial areas and large con.
tingent evacuated from blitzed cities

blackest defeat. But as the day wore on
hope faded when repeated dispatches
from Berlin, unverified elsewhere but not
denied, asserted that the Afrikakorps
was on the advance again, that the battle
of Ell Alamein was won. Yesterday, how
ever. the Axis admitted that bitter
struggle" had developed there.
AS the battle of Ell Alamein started 1t
was revealed for the first time that
American airmen were fighting in Egypt.
Teamed up with the Royal Air Force,
they had been staging extremely destruc-
tive raids on Axis bases from Western
Libya to Crete. One attack on the base
at Bengazi, it was reported, was COM
parable to the plane British attack
on Cologne.
Another encouraging note was the fact
that the fast American aircraft carrier
Wasp had been able to run the gauntlet
of the Mediterranean several times with
planes and supplies for beleaguered
Malta, still held by the British despite
constant bombardment.

The Home Front

Just week ago took place one of the
most amazing events of the war-liter-
ally a German invasion of this country
at two points by band OF eight spe-
cially trained saboteurs. They were
landed from submarines on the coasts
OF Long Island and Florida. Their con-
fessed objective was to blow up defense
plants-especially the gigantic factory

arations that these men. all familiar

ably on information from

1901, a great Moslem leader, Mohammed
Ali, laid the foundations Of modern
Egyptian nationalism, and laid them
firmly. In 1907 he was able to expel the
British troops which had succeeded
Napoleon in the Nile delta. And 1t was

In force.
AS in Burma, there are undoubtedly
some in Egypt who believe that British
military defeat is a condition precedent
to the complete fulallment Of their
nationaustic ambitions. To our minds
this smacks Of fifth column argument
and often 1t may be precisely that.
But it is we'll to remember that those
who burn to achieve full independence
have often in history developed a most
illogical tolerance for any imperialism
other than that with which they are
themselves familiar. 1t would now be

There is a widespread demand that they

But are there other bands OF the same
sort loose in the country? Perhaps the
Department of Justice knows. More
and more evidence is forthcoming OF

hundred men, all aliens, are arrested at
Altoona, Pa, after discovery OF plot
to blow up the celebrated horseshoe
curve OF the Pennsylvania Railroad

ceives proper share Of the great output
of our factories. Our transports going to-
Australia undergo less risk than those
carrying arms and ammunition to Russia
and Great Britain. The disadvantage
of distance is compensated by q much
greater degree of security.
Competent observers believe concen-
trated naval action, strongly supported
by planes based on the islands which we
recapture gradually from the Nipponese,
would permit us to move step by step
toward the Asiatic mainland. Provided
with an ample supply of arms, China can
be an important asset against the jap
anese.
Back TO Burma?
The reconquest of Burma may sound
out of the question now, but 1t is con-
sidered real possibility by men who
have studied this problem ever since
the Japanese occupied that country. The
Japanese have spread their forces very
thin and their supply lines can be severed
by energetic United Nations attacks.
The problem of reconquering the
Netherlands Indies as a prelude to a
move against Burma for re-establish-
ment of direct contact with China is not
as great as it appears, some Of the best
officers in the Navy are convinced.

war was the battle of Huchow when
the Chinese struggled for weeks before
the city fell on May 81, 1888. Afterward
the Chinese executed such masterful
withdrawal that not single unit was
captured despite the great distances in
volved
The Chinese always have resorted to
any tactics calculated to slow down the
japanese. They scorched the earth
where they considered it effective, blew
up dykes on the yellow River and left
their guerrillas behind to harass enemy
f1anks in the rear.
They have used a variety of battle
| tactics, some perhaps considered un-
orthodox but useful in war and not to be
| Judged by western standards,
Sometimes they have conducted the
war as a chess game, moving for check
mate until the japanese smashed through
with tanks. Sometimes they have broken
up their forces into several strategically
placed groups, the main bodies we'll be-
hind the lines, the smaller well forward.
These smaller groups have taken the
first enemy shock and reported back the
enemy movements partially offsetting
the japanese advantage of having an air
force to act as the army's eyes.
Chinese Are Individualists.
The Chinese nave always been on the
small end of the air, but the japanese
never have forgotten the drubbing they
took when they raided Hankow on the
Emperors birthday on April 10, 1888
The japanese sent over 81 fighters ane
bombers and managed to drop some
bombs, but they lost % planes whel
Young Chinese flyers and some Russian
took the air after them.
The Chinese are great lndlViduallsts-
which is both an advantage and dis
advantage in the air.
The Chinese airmen, incidentally, ar
an exception in the peasant army. The
are specially handpicked from wealth
and aristocratic families, but they, tot
