case shall be released from iso-
lation only on such terms and con-

the state health officer as being
necessary for the protection of
the public. Such terms and condi-

Geographers assert that there Is
every evidence that the great desert
belt that extends across Africa and
Asia at or little above the tropic OF
Cancer Is growing larger and drier.
The Syrian desert, which is now an
utter waste, was crowded with cities
and full Of cultivated fields only two
DR. three thousand years ago. Mesopo-
tamia and Persia, ancient seats of
civilization, could scarcely have risen
so high If their climate then had been
what 1t is now.
There are plenty Of evidences that
the Sahara and the Libyan desert have
encroached on the fertile lands Of
north Africa and of the Sudan. The
old "granary of Rome" in Tunis is
now largely an arid waste. 1t is not
surprising If the Nile draws less water
than 1t used to from Its tributaries in
the Sudan. and loses more than 1t used
to by evaporation. Most geOgraphers
agree that the deserts are growing at
present. Some believe that 1t Is only
an inevitable step In the drying up Of
the earth, and expect the process to
go on forever, though perhaps with
occasional remissions.
Other scholars say that there is evil
dence Of an extraordinary amount of
ductuation In the climate Of the world
that there have been much drier
periods than ours, as well as much
rainier ones; and that the widening
Of the northern desert band is only
phase In longtime movement Of
climate from wet to dry and back
again. But as these secular move
ments are extremely slow, often TAX
Ing many thousands of years to COM
plete their swing, none of us now liv-
Ing will be here long enough to know
which theory Is the right one.

TO MAKE COMPLETE CHANGE
Why the Post Office Department 10
Revising Entire Stamp serIe&>-.-..,-
ls Explained to Public.

A complete change In the design of
our stamps has just been announced
by the United States postal service,
the ninth in the history of the coun-
try. Denominations from one cent to
twelve cents follow the tima-honored
custom Of concentrating great fig
ures in American history. The story
Of the nation Is told In the nine de-
signs and denominations from IA cents
to SIS.
The purpose Of revising the entire
stamp series was to produce designs
which would have more distinctive
color and clearer numerals. Numer-
GUS complaints concerning the old Sc
ries Of stamps were made to the Post
Office department and 1t is known
that serious losses and mistakes re-
suited from the lack Of definition In
certain Of the former designs.
Traditional fate has waited upon
the 13-cent stamp. This denomination
will not appear In the new series. 1t
was brought out during the war when
the combined postage and registration
fee was IS cents. Two new denomi-
nations take the place of this engrav-
Ing in the stamp constellation, the IL
cent stamp and the 25-cent stamp,
which are useful In connection with
parcel post.

Why Best Bananas Remain Home

The ordinary fruit-stand banana Is
grown chiefly In jamaica. Costa Rica
and other parts of tropical America.
Some attempt has been made to grow
them in California, Louisiana and In
other states with warm climates, but
this is more or less Of an experiment,
because the plant cannot endure the
slightest frost. AS novelty, few
banana plants have borne fruit In
colder climes, but under special pro-
lection.
1t Is interesting to note that the
best and most tasty bananas are not
known to most Of US because they are
too perishable to ship any distance.
In the East Indies there are bananas
that grow over foot long and about
two inches thick These are not ex-
ported, but are used for home con-
sumption.-The Pathfinder.
