lions due to the tremendous strain
on the heart and lungs. We have
fortunate in that some Of these
cases have not died of pneumonia
which is a frequent complication
of whooping cough. Today, with
the decline in diptheria, whooping
cough kills more children than
diphtheria and should be regard
ed as a dangerous disease.
Unfortunately, u vaccines for
whooping cough have proven
only about 65 to 70 per cent
effective in the prevention of
this disease but even this is a
great step forward and every
child from five to six months of
age up should have the vaccine.
The health department is not
able to give this however, and
you will have to go to your pri-
vate physician for it.
Thirty cases of chickenpox, SAG
of influenza, 1873 of malaria, 81 of

By the Associated Press.


ATLANTA, March 25.-Tom K.
Smith of st. Louis, president of the
American Bankers Association, said
today that bankers face big problem
In deciding how much work now per-
formed by the Federal Government can
be turned back to chartered banks
In an address before regional con-
ference of the association, he said: 1T
should be emphasized that the Gov
ernment did not force itself into the
banking business.
"As the crisis grew acute, there arose
. greater and greater demand from
private business that the Federal Gov
ernment throw its immense credit re-
sources into the breach, and the Gov
ernment did so only in response to this
demand"
He said the Bankers Association is
making studies to serve as basis for
negotiation with Government officials
on the curtailment of Federal banking
activity.
Citing the heritage of problems"
left by the depression, he said, "Unques-
tionably the present is one of the most
important periods in the history of
American banking"
I'm our day-to-day operations we
must be increasingly careful to see that
the public understands every transac-
ton we handle We must give the
public the facts clearly and cour-
teously, so that we may remove all
mystery from chartered banking"
Investment of surplus funds is a
major problem for banks; he said
