An incident OF the scarlet fever ex-

that while other churches, and the

the spread OF the disease, the Episco-
pal church ignored the protests Of
the town marshal and says:
1T seems to us that the same rule
OF conduct should apply to churches
as does to any other place where peo-
pie c~ongregate In masses The action
Of the Episcopal church in this case
harks back to the o~ficiousness Of
