He looked from one to another.
"No one did? About five minutes

TO BARBARA, the commits
sioner's next words, after discov-
ering that Julia's fingerprints and
the ones on the electric light but
ton were not the same, were not
at all surprising. The man said:
miss Barbara, am sorry to ask
you to submit to this inconven-
fence but it seems necessary to
have your fingerprints. too"
Garry and Ray were on their
feet instantly.
"You can carry this a little too
far, officer" Garry said.
"You may have to apologize
roundly," Ray added.
The police official chose to ignore
Ray. To Garry he answered:
1--WE will take yours, too, while we
are in the business"
Once or twice, in her newspaper
days, Barbara had pinch-hitted
for the police reporter during the
summer vacation. One day she
had seen fingerprints being taken
at the local police station. She
had felt outraged at the idea of
innocent people having their fin
gerprints recorded, as sometimes
must happen. Now she must en-
dure it. Yet she was glad. She
could prove to the commissioner
that he was wrong in his sus-
picions.
The two sets did not coincide in
either her case or Garry's.
'Will you accept my apologies ?"
the officer asked quietly. Then, one
by one, every member of the GROUP
was subjected to the same exam.

prints was rejected.

STARVED TICKS N

Fever Attacks, Experiment
Reveals,

Ticks starved for seven wears rave
relapsing fever to . monkey IN an
experiment just reported by the Ma.
tional Institute Of Health.
The tick is variety known as Orni-
thodoros turicata, which harbors a
spirochete that. when it gets into the
blood streaI.: of a man or monkey,
causes periodic two-day fever attacks
which are likely to continue indefi-
nitely. While this fever seldom causes
death in the United States, it has
high mortality rate in other countries.
Last June DR.. Edward Francis, vet
eran National Institute of Health re-
search worker, himself contracted the
relapsing fever, which he was study
ing. He returned to his laboratory
only March l, after treatment at the
Marine Hospital in Baltimore.
His first thought was Of some ticks
harboring the spirochete which were
shipped here from Texas In 1881.
There were 81 packed in pine boxes.
They had not been out of the boxes, or
received anything to eat, since they
came to Washington. Apparently, DR..
Francis concluded, these bugs are able
to live almost indefinitely on moisture
alone.
Some of them were placed on a
monkey and promptly attached them
selves. Eight days later the animal
was running high fever which per-
sisted for two days. Then followed
three-day normal period followed
by another two days of fever. The
animal is now normal again, but an
other attack is expected over the week
end.

PROPOSAL FOR PARK
BOOKLETS REBUFFED
Elliott Rules Trust Fund Nav
Not Be Used for Printing
Pamphlets for Sale.

The national park trust fund may
not be used for printing pamphlets for
sale to the general public. Acting Con-
troller General r. N Elliot. said in a
ruling made public today and sent to
Secretary of the Interior Ickes.
The cabinet officer had requested a
decision on the problem. in view OF the
fact that during more than two years
1t has been impossible to provide de-
scriptive literature for the public Wis
iting the historical areas administered
by the National Park Service, he said
In asking for a ruling, Mr.. Ickes' let
ter of last month pointed out that
some 100000 people visited those
areas during the travel year ending
September 80 and there was consid-
cradle embarrassment, due to the fact
that little or no descriptive literature
was available for them at any price"
Suggesting the possibility of selling
descriptive literature to visitors, Mr..
Ickes asked If . portion Of the national
park trust fund might not be advanced
to provide q printing fund for this
purpose and that receipts from the sale
of documents be used to replenish the
printing fund.
In denying this request Mr.. Elliott
held that unless funds were contrib
uted for printing of the kind now de-
sired, either specifically or by neces-
sary implication, they could not be so
used.
Furthermore, ne ruled that "the
printing and sale Of pamphlets would
appear to constitute engaging in a
business, such as is specifically prohib-
tied" by section of the act of June
10. 1895, setting up the National Park
Trust Fund Board.
