until long past the close of business hours
to which the activity Of the post office NAV
be confined
The assistance of the authorities in main
tanning order IN the post office lobby seems
to be necessary in view of the growing dis
order. If based on misunderstanding of
what service is available, it is hoped this
will serve to bring about an understanding
conducive to good order, less distraction,
which IS sure to reflect that efficiency in
dealing with the public to which they are
entitled and which it is the aim of the post
Office to display at all times.

Painful "Dengue Fevcr''
Is Traced % Mosautto

Dengue fever, the extremely painful
but seldom fatal malady that breaks
cut 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-
lish an immunity against yellow fever
and may be a guard set up by nature
across the line by which the latter
might penetrate Europe and Asia.
These are findings from recent ex-
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
Cengue fever. It is much more fatal
among them than among humans.
Those that recovered were given in
jections of yellow fever. Only q per
cent died. Ordinarily, yellow fever
causes q so 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.

"Prcdigal Son" Parable
Marvellous Short Story

The short story has always existed,
though 1t was not until the Nineteenth
century that the art of writing it was
consciously practiced. AS Sophocles
said Of Aeschylus, these early authors
of short stories did the right thing
without knowing why. 1t 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 totality of impress
sion which is the result of conscious
unity in expression. The New Testa-
ment contains a short story which is
a structural masterpiece. The parable
of the 'Prodigal Son." which is only
800 words long in the authorized YER
sion, satisfies the modern definition,
securing the greatest emphasis pos
sible with surprising economy of
means. In America the short story
had its beginning in the Sketch
Bock" of Washington Irving.
