Egypt of Today Is Little Known World at Large More Familiar With Civilization of the Days of the Pharaohs. PEOPLE ARE MUCH THE SAME Peasant of Today Might Have Stepped From Ancient Carving Now Has First King Since the Ptolemaic Regime. Washington, D. C King Fund suc ceeds Cleojiatrn. "When Orent Britain abandoned Its protectorate over Hyiit, and the Sul tan of the Nile country changed his Jltle to king, hu becatnu thu llrst king tt Kgypt since the Ptolemaic regime," fcnys a bulletin Issued from the Wash ington, D. C, headquarters of thu (National Geographic society. "The old Egypt of millenniums ago is In many ways more familiar to the world at large than the Egypt of to llay," continues tho bulletin. "Pictures of Its great pyramids and sphinxes, Its columned temples and rock-hewn Jtombs till histories and encyclopedias; iind Inevitably tho reader's attention Is centered, not on thu problems of today, but rather on tho uvldcnccs of u dead civilization. "Hut aside from tho fact that mum my hunting wus for many years one of the leading prlvuto Industries of the country; and that now convicts, instead of building roads, excavate tombs and temples for the govern ment, thu old monuments are merely ii background for a life hard enough y center local thoughts mostly on vfnlly bread-winning. "Superficially Egypt seems a large country. The eye sees Its color spread over a considerable part of the north feast ern tpiarter of the map of Africa, und statistics credit It with an area jof more than 350,000 square miles. Rut Iho real Egypt thu habitable part Is like a cord with a frayed end : the nar row valley and llarlng delta of the )N11o. Except n few scattered oases, jmost of thu rest of the nominal Egypt Js parched desert sand, gravel and rocky .hills. Of Its more than a third of ii million square miles of territory, ;nbout lii.OOO are estimated to bo ca pable of cultivation, and considerable Jpart of this has not yet been tilled. Peasant Like Figure From Carvings. 5 "In comparing the Egypt of today with that of the dawn of history one Js divided between wonder at the marked changes on the surface and tho lack of change In some fundu 'mentals. Thu Egyptian of today does not speak his old tongue, but Instead, jArablc; his old gods are forgotten, und ho has with the exception of a small minority adopted tho religion bf Mohammed. Rut In spite of numer ous Invasions, tho blood of the crcat innjorlty of the population ms been filtered hardly at all. Practically the ifellnlieen, or peasants, might hr e stepped from the ancient carvings: (they are but. a fresh generation of ithe men who dragged tho great blocks ,of Btone Into place to build the arti ficial mountains of tho Pharaohs. "Egypt's resources are almost wholly (agricultural, and In thu agricultural scheme thu millions of fellaheen are the ultimate units. They work lonir jhours scratching the soil with crude (Implements, or tediously raising water 'In skin buckets attached to pivoted poles that the thin stream may save ithelr plants from parching. Taxes Jure heavy, and It Is thu lowly fella- iiecn who keep the treasury supplied. "There Is little cause to marvel at iKgypt's checkeied history. A simple .reason Is that 'iho began early. Hero Youngest and Meeting In front of tho State Ifouse Jn Roston Terry MeCloskoy, who en- listed at tho age of fourteen In tho One Hundred and First Infantry, Twenty fclxth division, for tho World war, nnd Edwin F. Wycr of Woburn, Mass., nine-' ;ty years old, the oldest G. A. It. member (est war veteran In tho state. is one of the earliest places In which man lived an ordered life and left records of his activities. "After the long reign of the Phar aohs Egypt had Its Grecian and Itoman regimes which brought but few changes. Then In (114 A. I), came the Invasion of the Saracens, from which tlmu began Egypt's Mohammedan history. Tor a time tho country was .a province of thu Arabian Caliphs; later It was independent, though still Mohnmmedan, under the MnuiHukes; and finally, In 1510, It became a province of Turkey, which controlled It first through a governor and later through a sort of hereditary viceroy or khcdlve. Khedive-Sultan-King. "For the third time Europe took a hand In the affairs of Egypt In 1708 when Napoleon won his battle of the Pyramids. The Rrltish drove the French out In 1S01 and turned the country back to Turkey. In 180!) came tho building of tho Sue, canal by De I.osseps, which has given Europe an ever-growing Interest In Egyptian af fairs. To protect European bond holders France and Great Rrltaln made a Joint intervention In 1871) and for a while controlled finances. The uprising of 18S12 against thu khcdlve was suppressed by thu Rrltish alone, and after that they controlled finances without assistance. The government was In effect Egyptian with Rrltish as sistance and with the nominal suzer ainty of Turkey acknowledged. "When the World war began Great Rrltaln established a protectorate, abolished Turkey's suzerainty, deposed the Germanophllu khcdlve, and ap pointed another prince of the family to be sultan. The Rrltish protectorate is now being withdrawn, but Instead of the former Turkish Interest being restored, Egypt Ik set up as an Inde pendent kingdom." America Leads in Air Traffic Ahead of France and Most Other European Countries in Com mercial Aviation. DEVELOP PRACTICAL FLYING United States on Top In Mileage and Carried 1,279,000 More Pounds in 1921 Than Did France Forced Stop Mastered. Washington. The United States is leading France and most other Euro pean countries In tho practice of com mercial aviation, It Is shown In re ports to thu Commerce department throughout America. More thnn l,7i:i,000 miles were tlown In thu United States In 10121 by air mall planes, which rank as com mercial planes. Mall carried totaled 1,100,000 pounds. Thu record for France, Just received by the Commerce department, Is as follows: Miles tlown, slightly more than l.HOO.OOO; mail car ried, 1!1 ,000 pounds. In mileage thu American planes lead France by nearly l!.r per cent. In the mall record American planes carried 55 times as much weight. It Is customary for aviation enthu siasts to berate the development of commercial aviation In the United States In comparison with the use of Oldest Veteran In tho Buy fctr state and probably the old: BARS OWN INVENTION ugj.iiinNfr.'fwt.

Once that Is done, your pile will grow." planes for business and pleasure pur poses In France, England, Germany and other places In Europe. Make Dally Trips. Airplanes are running regularly be tween Paris, London and other Con tinental points, It Is emphasized, mak ing trips dally on schedule like rail road trains. Much is made of the fact that large numbers of passengers aro transported as well as baggage. Fly ing from London to Paris for lunch and an afternoon In the shops Is said to be an everyday occurrence In Europe. Wide publicity Is given to thu numerous air trips taken by Premier Lloyd George and other government officials. American fiylng men, calling atten tion to these reports, lament that the Hying machine, although Invented and developed In this country, Is not being developed for practical purposes. The development of practical Hying Is taking place In the United States at a greater rate than elsewhere. Thu carrying of mail Is distinctly a com mercial practice and ono for which tho iilrplano Is more properly fitted at present than for the carrying of pas sengers. Airplanes carry mall now every day ft om thu Atlantic to the Pacific coast at less cost than mall can be trans ported on thu railroads, but In Europe tho commercial airplane companies have been unable to compete with the railroads to any extent In the mat ter of passenger fares unless there Is taken Into consideration the greater speed of an air journey. One Problem Mastered. Making careful observations of air conditions, not In ono section, but clear across the continent, the Post Olllco department Is learning continually what must be known to make com mercial Hying more nnd more prac tical. The problem of the forced stop has been almost completely mastered by tho postal Hying department. Des pite storms and all kinds of adverso weather conditions, tho mall goes through on schedule In the post olllco planes, with such regularity that the few delays tiro negligible. The figures quoted for the mileage of French airplanes Include those llown In thu carrying of passengers and baggage as well as mall. Tho number of passengers transported throughout 1021 was only slightly in excess of 10,000. Transportation of passengers Is the main business of tho French commercial planes. This phnso of commercial fiylng has been more fully developed In Franco than In any other country. Much Is made of the French success In carrying passengers on schedule and with but few accidents. If tho sumo degree of passenger carrying wero developed In tho United States as exists In France, tho total number of passengers carried would be only about 50,000. Tho number of per sons who travel by railroad in tho United States each year Is many mil lions, and tho development of passenger-carrying airplanes In thin country In tho same degree of success as hns been attained In Franco would provide for tho transportation of less than ono per cent of .those- who wish to travel, NEBRASKA NEWS IN CONCISE FORM Stato Occurrences of Importance Boiled to a Few Lines for Quick Perusal.
