Of attack on the problem must be
more informed action by individual
business men in periods of rising
markets in order that excessive ex-
pansion may be prevented and the
extent of the decline reduced. Stress
is laid upon the necessity for better
understanding Of the business cycle
by the business executives generally.
The suggestions for control of excess
sive expansion embrace recommended
lions as to the control Of credit by
individual banks, possible control of
initiation by the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn, the control by individual bust
ness men of expansion in their own
business and the retardation in boom
times of Governmental and large
utility building and construction.
The methods Of reducing the extent
of the decline lie in the building up
of Governmental and public utility
construction in times of depression,
the use Of unemployment funds and
the expansion of Federal, state and
farm employment bureaus. The bet
ter control of credit against our ex-
pdnS1OH anu speculation Through the
individual banks and the guidance of
business itself by danger signals Of
over expansion are fundamental.
The Committee considers that be-
fore the banks, business men and
others car take constructive action in
the enlightened conduct of business
in this relation, there must be re-
cruited and constantly disseminated
the fundamental information on
which the trends ir business can be
properly adjudged by each individual
business man and it strongly recon-
mends the recruiting Of enlarged and
more systematic statistical informa-
ton by the Department of Commerce
and its wider dissemination.
The Committee calls attention to
the fact that the ebb and flow in de-
mand for :onsumable goods is less
comfortable than that of construc-
ton of buildings and equipment both
G Governmental and private; that the
tendencies of boom periods is to
! thrust double burden on the COM

arrangement voted at the Episcopal
general convention of 1919, however, di-

Tolling of the. bells at Christ church

the churchman's demise was received.
Prayers for his recovery had been
offered in the cathedral daily, and in
all Episcopal churches in the diocese,
since the serious character of his i'll

During his illness the venerable
churchman was at times, unconscious
for long periods, while at other times
he sat up, took nourishment and read
from his prayer book.
''Now l lay me down to sleep" was
the prayer he would humble. 1t was
his favorite ejaculatory prayer. Il
