Uncle Roy's Corner
By RAMON COFFMAN.

During the past two months. one
OF the ancient countries OF the
world has been in the headlines.
Egypt. the Land OF the Nile"
has been attacked and part of
1t has been invaded by Axis armies.
When the attack came, the
Egyptians did little to defend their
own country. Instead they de-
pended on British soldiers and
aviators to save them from con-
quest.
Egypt is classed as free coun-
try, 1t has its own king and the
people make laws for themselves.
Yet it does not have much military
power. BY treaty with Great
Britain. the British have the duty
Of defending it.
That sounds good for Egypt, since
the people are saved money and
manpower. AS for the British and
their Allies, they feel it is most i'm
portant to guard this country in
Northern Africa. II they had not
done so, Axis armies would have
swept eastward to the Suez Canal
long ago.
II we think of the amount Of land
In Egypt, it is not small country.
It's area is $4,000 square miles.
which means that it Is larger than
Texas and Oklahoma together. 1t
is not far below the size of the
province of Ontario.
Yet the real Egypt" is small. 1t
Is the part of the country with rich
land, the part which cannot be
classed as desert. 1t Is made up of

River, with an area of only about
l2,000 square miles That is where
almost all the people live. and it
Is where the great civilization Of
ancient times grew up.
Sixteen and q half million people
live in Egypt, according to the last
census. taken three years ago. They
are mostly of the white race. though
their skins tend to be brownish. The
constant sunshine in that area
would give coat of tan to person
with the whitest skin.
Another reason for the brown
skins is the fact that there has
been a mixture of Negro blood in
the population. Yet this must not
be taken to mean that Egypt is a
Negro country" It is far from
that. The people are largely of the
Semitic branch of the white race
An old name for Egypt is "Kemi,"
meaning "the Black Land" and
some persons have fancied this
meant Land of the Blacks" The
fact is that the name arose from
the black soil in the Nile Valley.

Bedtime Stories

Sammy Jay started out very
hopefully to make himself right
with his neighbors. You see, he had
made the mistake of telling as a
fact something that he only thought
was fact. He had spread the
news all over the Green Meadows
and through the Green Forest that
Old Man Coyote had given up his
home and gone away. and there
had been great rejoicing among the
little people who fear Old Man
Coyote. Sammy had really thought
1t true when he had told that story
but It wasn't. and now everybody

and thought until at last an idea
had come to him for making himself
right with his neighbors. He would
tell them some good news that was
true-that he knew was true. Then
they would be glad and would
forget about his mistake the other
day.
So straight to the Smiling Pool

see that all who were there turned
their backs on him when they saw
him coming. Say" he cried as

conservation of Florida's wildlife resources,
are up for approval in the November 3rd
elections. One relates to the Florida Game
ard Fresh water Fish commission, while the
ether affects the State Board of .Conserva-
ten. Both of the araelldmeafs have the
active backing and approval Ief Gov Spes-
sard L. Holland, the FLORIDA State Junior

voter consideration on Nov. 3rd will mark

Best of ALL perhaps, is the fact that
they never will cost the taxpayer one addi-

LONG RANGE WAR OUTLOOK

The Axis powers are weaker today
than when warfare began; the United
Nations are stronger. The blitzkrieg has
disappeared and the war of attrition is I'M
derway. Slowly the weight of the COM
bined resources of the United Nations is be-
ing assembled for the decisive battles of
the war
While there is no certainty that the
United Nations will win there is, at least,
no probability that the Axis will triumph
before we havesa chance towage war. The
grave danger, as 1912 began was. that The
Axis would score such tremendous gains as
to become inyulnerable. This has not &C.
Cured. Our supply lines, upon which must
move men and material, are open and IN
our control. We have the opportunity 30
fight for life and the means to win the
war.
There will be new Axis victories be-
fore the war ends. Those familiar with The
last World War know how dangerous was
Germany's 1918 offensive and how dark
was the outlook 100 days before the leu
tonic collapse. Only courage and deter
mination carried US to victory then and only
the same qualities will give us the victory

AIR ATTACKS WEAKENING NAILS

Ruthless air attacks will be continued
against Germany, declares Sir Archibald
Sinclair, British Air Minister, who points
out that British and American plans for a
vast air offensive, laid. through all the
months of patient, strenuous work" are at
last beginning to ripen."
In war that is largely battle of pro-
duction, it is easily possible for mammoth
aerial operations to cripple the capacity of
fighting nations. That Germany is uneasy
over the threat from the air this fall and
winter is emphasized by news that one of
Germanys most vital war industries, manu-
featuring anything from drugs to explosives
and poison gas, has placed huge censtruc-
ton contracts in the south of Norway.
German industry, which has been har-
messed for the war effort to the last ac-
tivity, represents military objective of the
first magnitude. Every bomb that hits a
German factory, destroying machinery,
blasts transportation facilities or blows up
German war machines.

convoy from the United States came from
London last week, with the explanation
that large proportion of it was composed

up some Of the mystery about
how sulfanilamide helps TO cure
human diseases.
All test tube experiments
have proved that sulfanilamide
never kills germs, but always
tops or slows their growth. It
has been assumed that this stop
page in germ health weakened
the bugs enough so that the
body'S ordinary defenses could
kill them and so get rid of the
disease.
Physicians have wanted To
know why or how the sulfa
drugs stop bacterial growth. A
theory was that the drug inter
fered with or spoiled some of
the food required by the germs.
The tomato root experiment
was test of this theory. 1t
showed that the theory probably
/ is right, and that the food which
the sulfa drugs spoil is at least
in part the recently discovered
vitamin, para amino benzoic acid,
which is called Paba
