Egypt's Winds Bar lorge-Scole Bottles

A LTHOUGH Egypt is nominally A under British protection ana the threat of Axis invasion wanes under the thrust of the English forces into Libya, the soldiers oi all nations will be lucky if they escape a battle on the hot, dry sands of the Egyptian desert.
 The stamp above, bearing a pic ture of ship of Hatshepsut was isuued in 1926 to honor the In- ternational Navigation Congress held that year. The stamp calls attention to Egypt's shipping fa- cilities of the Suez Canal and the Red Sea rather than it's arid, treacherous desert.
 One of the reasons that little military action took place on the Libyan-Tobruk front, where the Axis naticj had cut off British force was the furious, acrid. sum- mer wind called the Khamsin.
 The Khamsin blows north across hundreds of miles of the parched, gritty desert where rain falls but once in 30 years. The wind is so strong that it overturns trucks, sweeps away tents and re- duces visibility to zero.
 The impurity of the air, saturat- ed with tiny, flinty sand grains, makes wounds fester and kills of. ,rap y.,,,ch utIicker than :; 'nechaniZed enemy.

As Angel Todd had said, her life certainly wasn't normal. Folks in the neighboring towns had tried to be nice to her because she was a Maurie.

right of way, you naturally get self confidence. Like all his kind, Dolf is dignified, maybe a little stand offish, but he is always the gentle man unless somebody starts push ing him around. He's better than a dozen Watchdogs to guard the wagon.
 Nobody was in sight, so I slipped the leash and Dolf, went out for a looksee. First he walked all around the grubwagon to make sure that everything was jake, then he jogged over and sniffed at Loren Divers footprints and the stockade door, and finally he loped across and disappeared down the steep little cliff that dropped to the river bed. I paced cut some estimates for a dream that had been kino of tempting me from a dark corner of my mind and drove few pegs. When I was through and strolled over to see what was keeping Dolf, l got shock.
 A big old tree trunk stuck out into the stream, and 8 funny, squatty litle man in queer jacket and all outlandish red cap was fishing from it and talking pleasant and friendly to my pal who sat on the shore watching him. Only I couldn't understand the language he talked ill, and I doubt if Dolf could. Pretty soon Redcap caught a small chub, took it off the hook, carried it in and offered it to Dolf. Dolf under stood that, al right. He sat on his hind legs and ate the fish and waved his paw for thank you like I taught him. When the man went out on his tree again, Dolf fol- lowed and sat down next him.
 well I'll be thiSsenthatw l said. Something told me it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
 The little man got up and made a jerky, foreign bow. I opened him up with some questions and he told me, in his slow, broken way, that he fished there days when he couldn't find any odd jobs to do, which was most days, and he hoped he wasn't going to be in my way. While we were getting acquainted there was a heavy buzzing sound, far off and far up.
 We'll, it was nothing but the north-bound mail plane. But the little foreigner threw his hands in the air, and up the bank he went. He made run for the stockade and swarmed right up over those high pailings like squirrel and fell into the enclosure. When I got there I could hear him moan ing and crying with fear, and Oliver talking to him, kind and quiet.
 The noise of the plane died away. Oliver opened the gate and walked out with his hand on the little mans shoulder.
 You'll be all right now" he said The man went back to his tree where Dolf was waiting in hopes of another chub.
 Who is he?" I asked Oliver.
 They call him Old SWoby. He's a SloVene refugee
 "Crazy?"
 "Only when an airplane comes over. He saw his wife and two children gunned to death by a playful aviator. Who wouldn't be crazy?"
 I looked at his eyes; they were hard with anger, and sorry at the same time. And I thought how his voice had sounded when he was comforting the poor devil.
 Doc" I said. T guess I've been misinformed. I guess you're hu- man after all"
 He looked puzzled. Why should nit I be?"
 I've got some private beer on ice" said. How about it?"
 Thanks. I'd be delgihted,7 he said.

American marine and army forces
in the SolomonS contended against
a large-Scale japanese land, sea,
and air attack in what obviously
was major attempt by Tokyo to
regain the positions taken from
them in the first Allied offensive
action of the south Pacific.
Japan had large naval forces in
the Solomons region, including bat
tleships, and apparently was en-
ploying carrier based aircraft to
challenge American air control OF
the south Solomons. Large japanese
forces, supplied with artillery, were
ashore on Guadalcanal island.
There has been no indication
from Washington communiques as
to the relative strength of the land
forces engaged on Guadalcanal is
land. The Japanese, however, ap-
peared to be operating with compar-
ative freedom in landing reinforce
ments under protection of heavy
naval escorts.
Key to the immediate tactical sit
uation appeared to be Henderson
Field, the Guadalcanal air base
which has been employed by u. S
airmen in ruling the skies over the
south SolomonS.
The japanese attack was directed
against Henderson Field and men
ton of Japanese artillery ashore or
Guadalcanal raised fears that the
air field may have been placed un-

to American bombers and fighters.

The Russians said they had re-

had not reached the banks of th1

said the Volga was reached on a
broadening front. The Russians ad
mitted there was acute danger that
the Nazi Wedge would divide the
Stalingrad defense army.
The Germans were said to be Suf-

report said 5000 Germans had been

Berlin claimed that Nazi troops
had entered the Red barricade'
factory which was described as one
OF two remaining Soviet strong

said to be surrounded. Russian
troops northwest of Stalingrad were
said to have been isolated.

WASHINGTON, Oct. II.
(UP)4Army medium bomb
ers probably sank one Japa-
nese destroyer, and damag-
ed another destroyer and a
cargo ship in the Kiska area of the
Aleutians, the navy ANNOUNCED to-
day.
Th communique, issued shortly
after pm, told nothing about the
progress of the hattie of the Solo
mons.
Martin B-26 two-engined bomb
ers, known as the Marauder were
used in the attacks on Kiska. This
was the first time that medium
bombers have been used in the
western Aleutians.
The two Japanese deStroyerS we're
intercepted northeast of Kiska, sole
Japanese base in the Aleutians. One
destroyer was hit by three bombs
and was probably sunk. the navy
said. The other was hit, too, but was
listed as merely damaged.
The cargo ship was caught by our
bombers in Gertrude Cove on the
south coast of KSka. One direct hit
set fire to the ship, which was
observed burning many hours later.
Our losses were only one plane,
which was downed by antiaircraft
fire.
Again there was no report of any
aircraft opposition from the Japa-
neSe in that area.
The new Japanese casualties rails
ed to 40 the total of enemy ships
hit since they began their Aleutians
venture in early June. These includ-
ed l3 sunk, five probably sunk, and
"a damaged.

Gen. Marshall earlier this week
told the military affairs commit
tee that the important factor in
military training is the training of
the unit, the division, not the in
dividual He said that in no case
would division be ordered into
combat before it had trained a year
Br.t, Marshall explained, if a di-
vision had been trained and was
composed of a large percentage of
veterans, a percentage of new men
could be infiltrated into that unit
and make first-class fighting men
in less than year.
