CHAPTER Ny-Continue

T LEARNED from Chak that the Thurian
l. chieftain. Goork, had been inclined to
haughtiness, and had told Ghak. the Hairy
One, that he knew nothing of me and cared
less; but imagine that the sight Of the
feet and the sound Of the guns brought him
to his senses, for it was not long before he
sent a deputation to me. inviting me to
visit him in his village. Here he apologized
for the treatment he had accorded me, very
gladly swore allegiance to the empire, and
received In return the title OF king.
We remained in Thuria only long enough
to arrange the treaty with Goork, among
the other details of which was his promise
to furnish the imperial army with thou
sand lidi CT Thurlan beasts of burden, and
drivers for them. These were TO accompany

river from which Dian, Juag and / had

II all men and women were farmers to-

The average farmer lives fifteen years

city dwellers-the doctors the lawyers
the professors, the clerks, the stenographers
the factory workers-live in the shade and

We're all born as wild as was the first
baby or the latest savage.
But we are tanned in our bringing up
and the taming-caled education and civ
ilizaton-spolls US, inoculates US with dis
ease and infects us with abnormal tastes
and appetites. And SO we, some of u.s.
grow up to be cripples and perve'ts and
wear ourselves out prematurely with bad
habits and death-inviting practices
We are not only born wild but born
farmers. II we are not farmers, we are
wronged-we are robbed of our birth

the Mahars. Our savage Mezop rihemen
and the shorter. squatter, white-skinned
Thurian drivers. shading their eyes with
their hands, were gazing seaward beyond

discovered that which was claiming the

feluccas were moving smoothly across the
waters of the sea toward the reptilian

\ great many OF the reptiles were killed
at the first volley. They wavered for a
moment, then dived; nor did we see them
again for a long time.
But finally they rose far out beyond the

FOOD REGULATION IS
IMPENDING IN BRITAIN
Drastic Measures to Be i~nausurated
Soon to Prevent Exploitation
by Traders.

London, March 24.-The food ques-
ton is pressing with increasing strin-
gency, and authoritative reports say
a few days will see new, drastic steps
by the food controller, Lord Devon
port, to prevent exploitation by trad
erS.
The controller told the House of
Lords that although voluntary ration
ing had brought excellent results, COM
pulsory rationing might be necessary,
which would be a national calamity.
He desired to avoid this, owing to the
tremendous machinery needed. This
machinery, however, was ready, he de-
clared, If required. and a great reduc-
ton in bread and sugar was still i'm
perative. He intended, he said, to in
troduce a strong measure to prevent
food boarding.
According to an unofficial report, the
government plans two meatless and
two potatoless days weekly in all res
taurants and hotels and to forbid more
than five ounces of uncooked meat to
be served for each person.
