Medical association at its meeting last
June DIR. ID. Lichty OF Rockford, Ill,
suggested deep sea burial as a solu-
ton of the problem. The paper was
subsequently published i'm the Journa
OF the American Medical association.
IL is an interesting and practical dis
cussion of the theories advanced. DR..
Lichty asserts that thalassic submer-
sion will not be attended with the re-
pulsion OF cremation nor the evils
which follow earth burial. He gives
historical precedent for such disposal,
dwells upon the sentiment which al
ways attends the farewell to the loved
dead and also speaks much of the
practical necessity of finding some
method which will be sanitary and not
repugnant TO the finer sensibilities.
DIR. Lichty admits IA the feelings
OF the survivors must be considered
in discussing any disposal OF the dead.
But he asserts with force that health
Is greater than these and should have
first thought. He refers TO the in
creasing economic burdens of the flu
neral o~bsequies and ostentation Of
which many grown weary. But Tor
Conventionalism the world would toss
this thraldom aside. He calls atten-
ton to the decreasing frequency of
church funerals with the gorgeous
hearse. with its slow, solemn march,

tation OF the body to the tomb. He
says. in part:
To show that ocean burial is prac-
teal. sanitary and will meet most Of
the requirements OF sentiment and re-
ligion n all those of sanitation Will
be the endeavor OF this argument. That
the beautiful fealty of g~enealogy con-
sanguinity and the sacred associations
OF religion are factors to be consider
ed in this as we'll as any other meth
cd for the disposal of the dead is rec
ognized. but above and beyond these
Is the un~purchasable Doc OF health
N its attendant uses and beauty.
Every expedient hat human
thought could devise has been resorted
to I'm all times past to conceal the hui
man dead and escape their disagreea-
