INCREASED DEATHS
. TAX UNDERTAKES
Conference Called to Discuss
Problems of Interment
D and EmbaIming.

The situation with the city's ceme-
teries. owing to the large number Of
Ge,ths from influenza the past week
anil the scarcity of man power due to
wsr conditions to perform the neces-
-saIy labor of grave digging for the
interment of the bodies. has become
so acute that it has been found neces-
say to call the undertakers together
for Il conference with the health
authorities.
Ways and means to provide for this
emergency, which has been becoming
more and more intense from day to
day as the death list has increased,
will be discussed. In addition to this
condition it has been found that
there has been much confusion and
misunderstanding by the undertakers
as to the handling and caring for the
bo'lies. in embalming.
Jndertakers' Conference Called.
Health Officer Fowler said last night
undertakers of the city to discuss
tnSSe matters tie pointed out tndt
in practically all cemeteries there are
many bodies unburied in the vaults.
ami that now that the capacity of the
vault storage has been reached steps
would have to be taken at once pro-
viding for grave diggerS. SO that the
bottles may be properly buried.
In one of the largest cemeteries. he
said, there are thirty bodies stored in
the vaults with no room for additional
storage until such times as graves can
be provided.
II has been found necessary to use
the mortuary chapel of the cemetery
for the storage of the coffins, which
arc piled one upon the other.

Dimples Stop Traffic.

The ladies from hell meaning the
kiltes. had the town by the ears when
they were here their kilties being the
cyrosure for all feminine eyes. But
for creating n furore and stopping
traffic the palm goes to the New Yea
landers who arrived here on the wings
of the warm wave. The reason is
this: The fight-costume of the boys
from the Antipodes consists merely of
athletic trunks, khaki tunic and a
hat that sits on three hairs. 1t also
can be mentioned that they wore reg
ulation Scotch stockings. But it was
the dimpleS in their neither eXtremities
that stopped traffic. One Of the warm
climate soldiers wandered down in the
financial district yesterday during
lunch hour, and it is estimated that
more than 1000 stenogrnphers went
without their usual luncheon Of angel
cake and nut sundae. The girls gath
cred in groups, always at distance,
and talked about the latest lighting re-
gala. They all voted it a success,
but az the same time wondered what
would happen if any of New Zealand
ers, If by chance, wandered in the land
