* THOMAS CROSSES ARABIAN WASTES Roba el Khali, Great Desert, Long Unexplored, Opened Dy American. Recent crossing of the Roba el Khali, the great sandy desert of Southeastern Arabla, by Bertram Thomas opens up an area that has been wholly unknown | to the world's geographers and map-| makers, and which has been the sub- ! t of only the haziest legends, accord- to a bulletin from headquarters of the National Geographic Society. “During the past 600 years, while ex- plorers from Western Europe by land and sea have bzen enlarging the known world in wider and wider circles around | Arabia,” says the bulletin, “almost a ! third of that great peninsula, lying | ractically at the center of the Old orld, has remained unseen by white men.

This area, since the penetra- tion of Central Africa, the Sahars and Oentral Australia, has constituted the Jargest blank spot on the world's maps outside the ice-covered wastes near the poles.

On the southeast is Yemen. The Hadramant, & narrow coastal strip un- der British protection, touches the desert on the south. The crescent- shaped, independent state of Oman, also a coastal territory, curves around the eastern and southeastern edges of the desert. “Both nature and man have guarded the Roba el Khali against explorers. Mountains rim it on the east and south and secondary deserts hem it on the north. The main part of the Southern Desert has been assumed to consist of & vast waste covered with sand dunes; but before this region of shifting sands can be reached a six-day journey must be made—in the south and east, at Jeast—over an almost sterile sandstone steppe.

They may develop into serious or fatal complications. You can probably recall such a case among your friends. Statistics show that every year respiratory diseases cause more than a million deaths. At the first sign of trouble, gargle every two hours with full strength Listerine, the safe, healing anti- septic, and call your physician. If the irritation is mild, Listerine will frequently check it. If it is not, the doctor will diagnose the real trouble and treat it properly.
