For several centuries Egyptians have forgotten their illustrious national background. Their ancestors threw British troops into the sea and fought all Europe during the Crusades. Indeed, is not Egypt the center of the world and mother of civilization? Egypt's awakening dates back only a few years. Her passionate revival of nationalistic feeling is a still more recent development, hastened by the ascension of a boy king who is just now beginning to feel his strength.

What thousands of Wafdists are now wondering Is whether King Farouk will continue to parallel the Illustrious Amenhotep's career by es' tablishing autocratic rule. What Great Britain wonders is whether the crafty Mussolini has been educating Farouk along Italian Fascist lines. Certainly II Duce has been his sway throughout extending North Africa; possibly he also has ambitions in Egypt. Recent events bear out this belief. Tbe'Nahas Blueshirts.

A few days later he declined to sign a bill authorizing expenditure of funds for suppression of foreign propaganda, demanding an accountn ing for every cent Eventually Nahas was forced to resign when his differences with Farouk failed to dissolve under arbitration. In his place Farouk appointed Mahmoud Pasha, whose pri vate army the Greenshirts have often clashed with Nahas' Blueshirts. With so many "shirts" flying through Cairo, it was quite obvious that somebody was going to lose one. A few days before his forced resignation, Nahas had or dered dissolution of the Green-shirt- s. Mahmoud, in turn, not only abolished the Blueshirts but also all other "shirts." Whether this wise move will stop the rioting remains to be seen. Fascist Trends Apparent. Great Britain is justified in be ing doubtful about Premier Mah moud. Although he has given every assurance that his new cabinet embraces the policy of friendship for Britain, there is too much Fas cist zeal in the patriotic slogans of Mahmoud and his followers. Egyp tians are encouraged to despise ev erything foreign, to speak only in Arabic, to buy only from Egyptians and to keep as their motto some thing like: "Allah, the Fatherland and the King I" Still another Fascist note, paradoxical though it may be, is the Wafdist Blueshirts determi nation to defend democracy with an organization that is itself Fascist on the surface. Great Britain realizes that Egypt is in the center of a political hot bed. In Libya, along the Egyptian frontier, Italy has placed army units. Arabs throughout the Near East are aroused by England's policy in Palestine. King Farouk's latest attempt to drive the Wafdists from power was an order dismissing the highly democratic parliament for one month. The order followed close upon the heels of Nahas' dismissal as premier, but its immediate end was merely confusion. As the chamber speaker was about to read Farouk's order, irate Nahas jumped to his feet and began to protest Police were called, the lights turned out and the parliamentarians stumbled to the streets. Nahas could smile, however, for he had won temporary success. The dismissal order had not been finished. Election in Offing. Scheduled almost at the same time as the royal wedding is a new parliamentary election in which King Farouk and Premier Mahmoud hope to see the Wafdists defeated. At present the Wafd has 184 deputies out of the total of 232, and 94 senators out of 132. If this great majority is wiped out Egypt's democratic government may be on the way to disaster. Among plans already announced by Premier Mahmoud is enlargement of the army from 11,000 to Even 50,000 troops would be an unimportant stumbling block to any invader who might covet Egypt Therefore observers believe the military expansion is for internal defense of Farouk &nd the palace government Built swiftly, it would be a loyal army, ready to do the bidding of its king and premier. With such a force behind them, Farouk and Mahmoud might successfully eliminate the Wafdist competition. But perhaps the influence of his beautiful young wife will helo lutd- fy the boy king. Possessed with the idealism of adolescence. Farouk is possibly going through a period when he wants to play with his power, to be as strong as the pba-raoof old. 50,-00- 0. hs C Wastcra gen- eral fatigue, chronic rasptt of heart dis ease, chronic inflammation of the sinuses and other ailments cannot be estimated.

Thus the flu, by weakening the individual's resistance, may be considered a forerunner of tuberculosis and patients should take real care of themselves for some time after recovering from flu. Watch for These Signs. In fact any infection or ailment n that causes a condition, or if the individual is not careful about watching sleep, exercise, food and fresh air, he becomes predisposed to tuberculosis. "A patient is likely to acquire, or having acquired, at least may develop an active tuberculosis when he is anemic (thin blood) ; when he is underweight; when he has a tendency to recurrent or frequent colds, recurrent bronchitis; especially when he does not quickly recover from any simple acute infection, whether it is flu, measles, or whooping cough; when he does not recover quickly from pneumonia or pleurisy.

"There is likely something wrong with the health of one who is either too thin or too fat What we call normal weight is associated with a store of fat sufficient to give the body that symmetry which we associate with a sense of Graceful contour can only exist when there is sufficient padding of fat beneath the skin to eradicate depressions and irregularities of surface. The fat around the kidneys helps to support them, and a normal fat deposit in the mesentery (the connective and fat tissue that holds the abdominal organs suspended from the spinal column) helps to keep the stomach and intestines in their proper position. A normal fat reserve is a great protection against cold. It is one evidence of a state of good nutrition." When one reads the above statements from one of the foremost nutrition experts, Prof. E. V. McCol-lum- , Johns Hopkins university, it would appear that fat which is the bugbear of so many men and women today, is really something that we should all try to accumulate. However, Just as too much fat is a menace to health, so also is a lack of "sufficient" quantity to supply the actual needs of the body from the standpoint of health and appearance. While decreasing the food intake will definitely decrease weight in every case which may be dangerous to life if food is cut down too much the increasing of food will not definitely increase weight in a great many cases. This means then that in trying to increase weight other factors besides increasing food must be considered. Many underweights are worriers, anxious about everything, afraid to eat certain foods, afraid of constipation and so unduly purge themselves. "They are the restless, ac-tiand overconscientious who habitually work beyondpeople their capacy because their strength is so t o erg o well-bein- mi It has long been known that rest is as good as food in building up weight just as too much rest will on put weight in those who are trying to reduce weight by reducing the food only.
