EGYPT'S KING AND QUEEN—A gigantle spectacle of jubilation, with rajahs, shelks and scores of foreign dignitaries attending, marked the wedding of King Farouk, 10-year-old sovereign of Egypt, to Miss Farida Zuldenr, 17, daughter of an Alexandrián judge,in Caira. A week of festivities followed the simple religious ceremony ordered by the young King, idol of his people. This included a state procession in which the King and Queen rode in the royal coach, fireworks on the river Nile, elvic and military parades, state banquets and an Illumination of all Cairo,
Many believe the discovery in 1930 of the great stele of Amenhotep If, shown at lower left, in the diggings north of the Sphinx, preordain a glorious reign för young King Farouk and his lovely Queen, shown at top left and right. Like Farouk, Amenhotep as- cended the throne of Egypt on his 18th birthday, in 1447 B. C., was more than six feet tall—a daring horseman and athlete. Wedding ceremonies were held in Koubbeh Palace, Cairo. View at lower right, made from an Imperial Airways plane, shows the formal gardens, model «farms and recreation grounds that are part of the vast estate centring on the five-storey limestone palace, one of the show pinces of Egypt.
JAPANESE TRANSPORT—Modern devices for transportation are not always feasible in China and here the Japanese have resorted to nu age-old method. Camels are loaded with Japanese munitions for the front, after the muntiions were carried by motor trucks to a base in Bulyuan orovinco. The beasis of burden with their Nipponese drivers are shown against the Great Wall.
