When Anne Willard went to
central Asia she thought she was
merely joining her father and
mother, whose archaeological
camp was doing useful work re-
constructing the civilization of
ancient days.
But before she even reached
the camp she received a guarded
note from them which appointed
a meeting place at which she
would receive a sacred dagger,
and would IN due time be told
how to use it to release her
parents from captivity by the
tribe of the Nagaras, and at the
same time to give the world the
truth about the marvels of the
hidden city, Shy-a Mayo.
And then she passed through
a series of adventures which
seemed, even to her. almost be-
yond belief And when she ar
rived she found that the man she
was engaged to marry was not

MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

A knowledge of what foods will always be abundant no matter what happens in these crisis times is nec- essary to every housewife.
 George Livingston, chief of the Food Supply Section of the Agricul- tural Division, said recently that the Food Supply Section is studying the whole food supply situation. He pointed out that the picture today is quite different from what 1t was in 1917, when we had shortages in many important foods.
 "Today we have surpluses In al- most all of them. But we can't af- ford to be to comfortable about these gurpluSes. We can estimate rather closely our requirements for the civilian population and for the armed forces, and also our anticipa- ted exports. However, there are three big unknown factors:
 l. Possible food requirements for Britain to prosecute the war, which we may be called upon to supply.
 2. Relief requirements for devas- tated countries. Already some food. gtuffs are being sent to Spain, Fin- land, Greece, China and unoccupied France. How greatly such ship ments will increase in the near fu- ttire is anybody's guess.
 3. The always present possibility of drouth and pestilence, which might produce acute shortages in many commodities"
