CAIRO, Jan. 28.-As be-
witching as tales Of treasure
trove in the West Indies are
the stories of the lost oasis
Of the Libyan desert. Many
expeditions by car and by camel
have attempted in vain to find
1t. One tale has it that the
oasis is inhabited by people
who have been out of touch
with the world for a thousand
years or more. Other reports
say that it is very fruitful,
land of milk and honey.
In spite of all efforts to dis
cover 1t, the oasis is still lost
today, and many believe that
IT has long been covered with
