''Prodigal Son" Parable
Marvellous Short Story

The short story has always existed,
though 1t was not until the Nineteenth
century that the art Of writing 1t was
consciously practiced. AS Sophocles
said Of Aeschylus, these early authors
of short stories did the right thing
without knowing why. It was only on
rare occasions, however, that these
happy accidents occurred. Thus Pro-
fessor Baldwin, after an exhaustive ex-
animation Of the 100 tales in Boccac-
clos "Decameron." decided that only
two Of them are short stories In the
modern critical sense, while three 9TH
ers approach the totally Of impress
sion which Is the result Of conscious
unity in expression. The New Testa-
ment contains q short story which Is
a structural masterpiece. The parable
Of the "Prodigal Son." which Is only
500 words long in the authorized YER
sion, satisfies the modern definition,
securing the greatest emphasis pos
sible with surprising eeenomy Of
means. In America the short story
had its beginning in the sketch
Book" Of Washington Irving.

Presidents Address Marks
Opening of the Bicenten-
NAL Fete

The official opening of the nation
wide George Washington Bicenten-
NAL Celebration took place February
% at noon, when President Hoover
delivered his George Washington
address before a joint meeting Of
Congress. Members of the United
States Supreme Court, the Cabinet,
foreign diplomats and many other
distinguished visitors were present.
Radio carried the address to every
corner of America over a nation
wide hook-up.
Immediately after the address, the
President gave the signal for the
singing Of America" by combined
chorus of 10000 singers assembled
on the east steps of the Capitol.
The accompaniment played by the
United States Army, Navy and Ma
rine bands. directed by John Philip
Sousa. Walter Damroch directed
the singing.
In the afternoon, President Hoover,
accompanied by members of the
United States George Washington
Bicentennial Commission and the
District of Columbia Bicentennial
Commission laid wreath on the
tomb of the Father of his Country.
The George Washington Colonial
Costume Ball, under the auspices of
the United States and the District of
Columbia Bicentennial Commissions,
was held in the evening in the
Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.
c. Every State in the Union was
represented.
Even before the official opening
of the Celebration, however, the
churches Of the Nation participated
in an unofficial" inaugural of the
event in religious services held in
honor of George Washington.
These services commence on Friday
evening, February 10, with those
groups whose Sabbath begins at
shutdown on the sixth day of the
week. Other groups observing the
Sabbath on Saturday and Sunday
held devotional services, so it is
probable that nearly all Of the 232,-
900 churches in the country thus
honored the memory of George
Washington.

Painful 'sDengue Fever"
IL Traced 70 Mosquito

Dengue fever, the extremely painful
but seldom fatal malady that breaks
out In epidemics along the eastern
Mediterranean and In the East Indies,
Is spread by the same mosquito that
carries yellow fever.
Dengue fever itself appears to estab-
fish an immunity against yellow fever
and may be q guard set up by nature
across the line by which the latter
might penetrate Europe and Asia.
These are findings from recent en-.
periments Of the Dutch Institute Of
Tropical Medicine at Amsterdam.
Fourteen volunteers allowed them
selves to be bitten by mosquitoes
which had fed on Dengue patients. All
fell sick with the same malady.
Then monkeys were infected with
Dengue fever. It is much more fatal
among them than among humans.
Those that recovered were given In
Jections Of yellow fever. Only ~ per
cent died Ordinarily, yellow fever
causes a 90 per cent mortality rate
among monkeys.
These experiments have greatly les
sened the fear of yellow fever out
break in the Dutch East Indies, where
Dengue Is an almost universal expert
ence.

Bi-metallism, now being widely
advocated after long period in
which it dropped from sight, is GER
tainly not principle to be adopted
blindly. But it does seem worthy of
intelligent analysis.
It is generally agreed that the de-
pressed price of silver has been a
vital factor in prolonging and inten-
styling, on an international scale, the
general industrial depression. The
purchasing power Of whole people S
has been reduced to half or less
Of its former level, trade between
nations is languishing and dying.
If the rehabilitation Of silver will
help bring order out Of chaos, the
subject should have the most
thorough consideration to determine
its practicability.
Metal mining means so much OF
our states that legitimate and practi-
cal encouragement of it affects the
very stability of our nation.

Huns Fierce Fighters

The Huns have a recorded history
much more ancient than the time of
Attila, and they endured long after,
finally being merged with other races
to found modern Hungary. They had
many battles In China under Me-Te,
Tchitchi and other great leaders
against whom China built the Great
Wall. Driven off from their ancient
home in Mongolia, they wandered east
and won success against Rome under
Balanir. Then came the period Of
Attila. Following his death the Huns
declined for time, but later disguised
themselves as Avars and developed
other great leaders, Baian and the
Kha-Khan. Charlemagne defeated them
and ravaged their territory, but the
Huns had another metamorphosis I'M

Roads Over Which Washington
Travelled

The Maryland Commission for the
Celebration of the 20Oth Anniversary
of the Birth of George Washington
has prepared a map Of the State of
Maryland, showing all the roads over
which George Washington travelled
through this State, and ninety sepa-
rate places at which he is known to
have stopped.
This map, which was prepared by
Mr.. j. Spence Howard. has added to
it short account of each Of the
ninety places visited by Washington,
with the dates of his visits and other
information, compiled from his diar-
les and other authentic sources by J..
Alexis Shriver, of Bel Air, Md,
Chairman of the Committee on
County Celebrations, Roads and
Houses.
The map, which comes from the
press of A. Hoen and Company, is
printed in colors, and is a valuable
