FUNERALS GUARDED
IN SLEEP SICKNESS
Stringent Regulations Are
Adopted in St. Louis Epi-
demic Fight. II

ST. LOUIS, September Stringent
regulations for funerals of encephalitis
victims went into effect today, the latest
effort to curb the spread of the malady
which has taken approximately 14O
lives in Greater st. Louis since mid
July.
Only the members of the immediate
family Of a person who died from the
disease will be permitted to enter the
room where the body lies. or to attend
services. either at funeral chapel or
in a church.
DR.. j. Atkinson Smith. diagnostician
of communicable diseases for the st.
Louis health department, said in an
nouncing the regulations that surviving
relatives might be carriers of the
disease.
Meanwhile, scientists seeking to learn
through monkeys, were represented as

lated with material from victims of
the malady. apparently developed en-
cephalitis Of the type now epidemic, and
an attempt is being made to establish
the sickness in a second group OF
monkeys by means of incubation by
material from the deceased ones. In
this way. scientists hope, an immuniZ-
ing agent may be found.
The number of deaths from the
disease in ST. Louis and the county to-
day totaled 1873. The number of cases
was 799 of which AL were county resi-
dents and 358 lived in st. Louis.

BURLINGTON, N. c., September a..
Taking a cue from the N. r. A., Rev.
David I. Eaton, rector of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of the Holy Com
forter here, has drafted a voluntary
code of fair religious practice" for sub
mission to the congregation next Sun
day.
Signers of the code will promise
among other things, to attend at least
three church services month, to re-
ceive holy communion a minimum of
six times year and to give the church
minimum of one-tenth of all personal
expenditures exclusive of regular and
normal living expenses"
when adopted by the congregation"
said Mr.. Eaton, this code will be for
mally filed with the N. r. A. in Wash
ington, and, if accepted by them, the
church will then display the Blue Eagle
insignia, surmounted in this case by the
Christian cross"

CREDIT INITIATION
NOT MONEY SEEN
Best Argument Against Lat.
ter Is That 1t Would Ruin
Future Financing.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Three phases, often misunderstood.
are casting their shadows across the
governmental path-inhation of cur
rency, imitation of credit and devalua-
ton of the gold content of the dollar.
All three have been loosely referred
to as imitation" and mysteriously asso-
ciated with the rise and fall Of COM
modify and security prices. Ninety per
cent of the questions asked of this cor
respondent are centered on one point
will there be imitation?
If we mean credit imitation, the
answer is yes We have had it again
and again in the last 20 years. 1t is
really an expansion Of credit. 1t may
be unwise and subject to severe attack,
but this is not the form of imitation
which is really feared by banks and
financial institutions.
If we mean imitation of currency,
the answer is mo" It need not even
be qualified with the statement that
only as a last resort will it be tried.
The indications now are that imitation
of currency is unnecessary. impractical
and unlikely. There is plenty of cur
rency available. The only excuse for
imitation of currency would be to pay
off the Treasury debt with greenbacks
and finance the new public works pro-
gram.
Future Financing Jeopardized.
The reason imitation of this type Is
vehemently opposed by the banks which
are large holders of Government Sc
curities is that if three billions of
greenbacks are issued without a gold
reserve to back them up and the public
debt is thus paid off. what assurance
is there that the Government will not
feel compelled to go on paying off
Government bonds with money deemed
to be of less and less value? This has
been the vicious circle travelled by
foreign currencies, including the Ger
man mark.
The most convincing argument
against initiation is that the entire Gov
eminent program of future financing
may be ruined by such policy. Treas
ury officials are against imitation. So
is the Federal Reserve Board. And be-
sides it is beginning to be apparent
that economic recovery can be accom-
piished without further shocks to our
monetary system.
Devaluation of the gold content Of
the dollar is frequently spoken OF as
part of the imitation program. The
conservative school of thought opposes
retaliation for much the same reasons
as they argue against imitation Of cur
rency. 1t is not the initial adventure
about which they are apprehensive but
the precedent established and what
may follow Devaluation itself is not
disastrous.
If the Government would devalue
and get the problem over with. even
the opponents Of devaluation would feel
better about it. What they dislike Is
the uncertainty as well as the fact

night, must coerce them who will not

The induStrialist, in an address urg-
ing "co-operation without boycott or
other penalty" declared the repression
of business as mot a failure of men so
much as it was of system
There are always some people, Young
said who will not honestly and whole
heartedly work in accordance with the
rules
That is the reason" he added. why
the Government must come to our aid
Outlines Success Program.
If the NJ R. A is the succeed, the
chairman of the board of the General
Electric Co. said, 1t must look to
fair protection of savings, to adequate
wages for labor, to sound product sold
at a reasonable profit. That has been
tn" ambition of wise business for a
generation, but it failed
1T was not failure of men so much
as it was of system. We just could not
bring ourselves to change that system
until we were hurt, and hurt badly
The N. r. A. is the first experiment in
the change. Under it we shall have to
live and learn. Much of it need be
temporary only. Some of it. when we
learn how to handle it, will aid US al
ways
Sees Coercion Needed.
To effect a change in the old system,
Young said the Government must per-
NIT and not prohibit cooperation.
Indeed. it must coerce them who will
not play fair"

not ony be bold but balanced" Young

400 Visits Made Last Month; Big
 Jump Over March
Miss Florence Whipple Announces Only One Station Closed Due to Lack of Funds - z,845 Home Visits Made During April By Visiting Nurses

Daily visits of mothers and ba- bies to Baby Welfare stations are on the increase. More than 400 wis., its were made last month, a sub stantial increase over those made in March. To date it is very ap- parent that Mays numbers will reach a new high mark. Coinci- dental with the monthly report of the Visiting Nurses association for April. Miss Florence Whipple. di- rectress, announces the close of only one station. This will repre- sent the limit of curtailment in the current expenses and the serv- ice discontinued for the time being in one location will be resumed when an increase Is observed in revenue. With the return of more prosperous times the association an- ticipates that its general sponsors of by-gone years will be more lib- eral in their donations.
 Miss Whipple's report represent ing events of April reads as fol- lows:
 2,S45 home visits were made by the staff during April. 1,097 of tients. Two children with measles received 10 visits; eleven patients with scarlet fever, 97 visits; five with whooping cough, AZ visits; three with diptheria, 26 visits; eighteen with influenza, 1892 visits; three with chicken pox, 12 visits; twelve patients with middle ear in- factions and three with mastoid infections, 95 visits; eighteen pa tients i'll with pneumonia received 1S7 visits. Forty-five mothers vis- ited during pregnantly and after the baby came, received 671 wis., it's. This is care that extends over ten or eleven months in many ca
