tack different parts of the brain and
also the spinal column, producing diff
ferent symptoms depending upon the
part attacked. 1t is frequently pre-
coded by respiratory symptoms resemb-
ling bad cold and, in some years, it
appears to be complication and after
effect of influenza. Present day medi-
cal opinion, however, regards encep-
halitis and "flu" as having no essential
relation to each other.
In st. Louis the prevailing form of
the disease is not preceded by influ-
enZa according to the United States
Public Health Service reports. The
largest number of cases have occurred
in the suburbs, leading federal investi-
gators to suspect that an insect may
be carrying the disease.
IF this is the case," the doctors OBJ
serve, then the condition is probably
local and will not spread to other parts
of the country"
A total of % cases with 20 deaths
have been recorded so far this year in
Minnesota by the State Department of
Health. This number is not unusually
high by comparison with figures for
the past five years which are: 1892, %
cases; 1881, "a cases; 1880, 80 cases;
1929, Sc cases; 1928, Is cases; and 1927,
SO cases. Reports of isolated cases in
other parts of the country have re-
ceived publicity but do not indicate the
presence elsewhere of more than the
usual yearly number of cases.
Formerly, the mortality rate for the
disease was about one third" says the
bulletin. "Of late years the rate has
been lower which indicates that the
germ is gradually losing its virulence. /"

The outbreak of sleeping sickness"
in ST. Louis is likely to continue to be
a restricted, local epidemic. There is
no reason, at the present time, to fear
that it will spread to other parts of
the country in the opinion of the
Public Health Education Committee
of the Minnesota State Medical AsSoci-
alton expressed in bulletin issued
today.
Sleeping sickness, medically known
as epidemic encephalitis, appears to be
only mildly contagious under ordinary
circumstances, according to this bulle-
tin. Except in the presence of an
epidemic such as occurred in this
country in 1920, 1921, and 1922, only a
few cases appear annually in any COM
munity. Even in the presence of an
epidemic, the relative number of cases
is small and there is seldom more than
one case in any one family. Epidemi-
ologiSts are inclined to belive that some
local agent of transmission of disease
such as insects or infected milk, is re-
sponsible in the case of many epidemics,
rather than direct person to person
spread of the disease.
"Encephalitis is one of the virus dis
eases like infantile paralysis, measles
and whooping cough" the doctors point
out. 1.-The germ that causes it has
never been isolated. It is present, how
ever, in filtered material taken from
the discharges of human being or ami
mails sick with the disease because the
disease can be given to monkeys by
injection of this filtered material.
In general this battling disease is an

around MIN, W u
able to come through as he has.
General business failures, agricul-
tural stagnation, income losses, CAPT.
tai losses, liabilities to meet debts
and therefore liabilities of bankers to
pay back depositors when loans were
not paid, were the reasons, in most
instances, for the bank failures.
No profession, no department Of life
IL without its weaker elements, but
had proper consideration been given
to the relatively few instances In bank
ing, had exaggerated and startling
headlines been kept in true proportion,
had banking not been used as target
for political self-seeking and with vote
seeking motives, had unfounded ru-
mors not been spread the peoples con-
fdence might have been retained and
far less serious would have been their
financial losses, for many bank failures
were caused that need not have hap
pened.
There were factors in our banking
experience which every earnest banker
deplores-factors which many had
worked years to eliminate, which II
was fearfully recognized would ag-
gravate any difficult days which might
arise. One Of the worst of these was
due to political regulation which char
tered many banks that should never
have been chartered.
That there have been Incompetence
and dishonesty in banking is admitted.
That the instances that did occur were
used grossly to increase fear in the
public mind, we affirm. We shall con-
tinue to strive for higher attachments
in our profession and strive for laws
that require competence and ability
in management. That we cannot leg
islate honesty and unselfishness into
either a banker or borrower must
be conceded, but dishonesty, wherever
found, should be punished. It Is as
true in banking as elsewhere that no
matter how good the law, dishonest
and incompetent men can make 1t in
effective. Good laws are essential. We
must strive for ever better ones, but
their enforcement will come only a.
the public recognizes that It Is a mat
ter not Of laws or codes alone but Of
the men who administer them.
The Public's Part
Our people must be brought to real
ize that the welfare of our country de-
ponds upon its banking system, that
the strength Of the banking system de-
ponds upon the public's faith and
understanding and the vast majority Of
banks, because of faithful service rem
dered, even through the whole of this
general breakdown, had the right to
expect the trust and confidence Of the
people.
In every great catastrophe, no mat
ter what its nature, no matter what its
cause, someone must be crucified. The
banker was this time selected. In the
late eos, political agitation started .
TRADE against the railroads. Some rail.
roads may have done reprehensible
things, but the agitation became 80
general and so violent as almost to
destroy one of the fundamental factors
in the progress of q country. Today
the same thing has been done to the
banker. In spite of all that has hap
Epened, the fact remains that even most
Of the banks which failed are paying
out Infinitely better than are invest
ments in almost anything else.

sary for them to use their own judg-
ment in crossing streets and walking
on the highways.
Eddie Cantor once said in one of his
broadcaSts, Drive Slowly-We Love
Our Children"
I sometimes wonder whether certain
parents really do love their children.
IF they did, they would show more con-
Germ about their safety and conduct at
crossings and on the highways.
Teach your children to cross streets
only at the regular crossings and to be
careful when doing so. If it is neces-
sary for your children to walk on the
highways, instruct them to walk on the
left hand side and step off the road
if necessary. REMIND THEM DAILY.

gone a different road from his, and he saw them rarely. But he did , know the lumber company that the men were connected with, the name of the school where Sonya taught, the family where she had been governess, and the address of the Volkov home.
 Curt decided that with those good leads it would be easy to run across to Victoria and get the information he wanted. Thanking their host, he and Baldwin went down to the car.
 "WeH, did you get what you were , after, Curt?.'
 "It was worth while, I've got a good grasp of her background; but nothing that he said gives me any idea of what she's doing in the Lil- luars."
 Baldwin turned on the switch key, snapped it off again, toyed with the strap of his swagger stick.
 Curt, I've been thinking of Sonya volkov lot this evening and I've got a theory about this situation. , Maybe it's occurred to you. Did you ever wonder whether Karakhan mightn't be at the bottom of this trip of hers?"
 "Karakhan-how's that?'
 "See here, it's pretty safe bet that those two were acquainted. Karakhan mustve known aher; he made it his business to know all the emigres in these two cities, for he didn't want somebody who knew him in Russia to bcb up unexpectedly and give him away. It's another safe bet that Karakhan would have pushed his acquaintance with her. Those snaps you took, especially that one of her on the rock-Curt, she's beautiful girl. The point is, she might have fallen for him" NTO," The denial was jolted from 1\ Curt. That's ridiculous"
 "I don't see how. Others have. You know the old saying that women . love a dash of wickedness."
 "Yes, I've heard it. But I also know Sonya Volkov You don't, Arn. ''
 Right, but that's all the more reason why my judgment on this may be better than yours. I'm not biased. To put my theory in nut. xhen. I believe she's going in there to join Karakhan."

Curt laughed. Don't be crazy. Arn"
 What's crazy about it?'
 "The whole ideal To leave her out of it and argue from Karakhan's viewpoint, he'd never let anybody know where he's hiding. He didn't even allow Jim Gunnar to take him into those mountains
 Yes, l know; but Curt, think of this: he's been there in that God forsaken country for nine months; he's gone almost year without sight of white woman's face. And another thing. Curt-we know he threw over Helen Mathieson and took up with another girl just few weeks before he pitched off. We've never found out who that girl was. I'll bet my governors title against a shirt-button that it was Sonya Vol koyi"-
 Curt stepped on the starter. "Your theory is a waste of time. Let's be getting somewhere, if you're going to drive
 They drove back to the Marlin home, mapped out their program for the following day, and separated. EARLY the next morning they met IL at the pier and flew across to Victoria. Baldwin started out to cover the private school where Son va taught and the family where she had been governess. Curt took the other leads as his part.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-12-20
Curt and Baldwin met at the pier.


 He went first to the office of-the lumber company to meet her fatheT. confident that he would need go no further. To his keen disappointment her father and brother were both gone on a long trip to Vladiyostok on business He was surprised to hear this. Sonya had led him to be- lieye that Russian soil was dis tinctly dangerous for the Volkoys.
 He located the president of the Emigre Society, a genial Muscovite of fifty who now was managing a warehouse on the CP. docks. He struck up an acquaintanceship with the man, went home with him for lunch, and met his wife and his three vivacious daughters.
 In an hours talk with the girls Curt turned her private life inside out, learning a great mass of details about her work and friends and in terests. But nothing that they said gave him any clue 10 her trip north.
 As a last hope he taxied out to the volkov home. The house was locked, the shades drawn, dozen old news papers on the front porch. As he ex- pected, no one answered his ring.
 A neighbor woman, seeing him looking around, volunteered some information about the Volkovs. Through her Curt learned that Ralph Nichols frequently had called there. The woman told of another man also, whom she had seen on many occasions, a tall handsome Russian of thirty-eight or forty. He came from some nearby city, likely Vancouver, the woman said; but she had not seen him since last fall. Yes, he had been a very frequent visitor for a month CT more.
 The description Of this unknown caller sounded 10 Curt remarkably like description of Igor Karakhan.
 At four o'clock he met Baldwin on the pier. To his question Baldwin shook his head. Didn't flush bally thing. What luck did you have?"
 "None. I found out everything about her except the one thing ] wanted to know"
 He said nothing about his talk with the woman and Sonya's caller last fall.
