Medical Advisor For Gorgas
Institute Talks Of
Great Work
COLONIAL SIX ROOMS-CENTRAL HALL TYPE
"Millions for pills but not one
cent for prevention." is the ap
parent slogan of .the American
people which it Is the business of
the Gorgas Memorial Institute of
Washington. D. - C, lo displace
with a national habit of periodi
cal physical examinations for
everybody, Dr. J. P. Kane, medi
cal advisor of the institute, ex.
plained in his address at the
Lions club luncheon Friday."
Though great progress has been
made by public health work Jn
the United States toward length
ening the average life span, nearly
all of this improvement has been
made in cutting down the infant
mortality; practically nothing has
been done, said Dr. Kane, to safe
guard the health of middle aged
persons.
Public Health Field
This is not the field for public
health work, for the diseases
which cut down men and women
in their prime are not the com
municable diseases.
They are heart disease, tuber
culosis and other diseases which
are demonstrated to be curable in
their early stages, but that means
principally before they progress
to the stage where the victim be
comes conscious that something is
wrong hence the importance of
periodical examinations.
Some seem to have the idea
that examination of this kind are
being urged to help the physi-r
clans' business. Dr. Kane said.
On the contrary, he declared, this
is the poorest paid and the most
difficult service the physician is
called upon to perform.
Salem Homelike
Every city has its peculiar
character, the visitor said in men
tioning that he had not been in
Salem for 11 years.
' Salem's unique characteristic is
a homelikenees not found else
where on the Pacific coast, he
continued, and expressed the hope
that in Its progress toward becom
ing an industrial city, it should
not lose this unequalled charm as
a city of homes.

FLOOfc. PLAN
it were possible to get all the architects of the
Mand to vote on the question of what Is the best
plan for a six room home, it is probable that the
most votes would fall to the type in which there is a
central stairway rith the Jiving room on one side
and the dining room and kitchen on the other, for
with such a plan, in even the very small house. It
Is possible to secure large and pleasant living rooms
1 with spacious effectswand to get these rooms with
' practically no waste of space. Design C-A-72 has
such a type of plan.
Of course, a house with a hallway running from
front to back is the typical arrangement for this
type of plan, but such a hallway requires a wider
house, and can only be bad at considerable addition
al expense. Many people believe that the conven
ience gained by the full length hallway is not pro
portionate to the? additional expense. This house
has been designed without the center hallway, and
as a result can be built at lower costs.
Upon first entering the hall from the vestibule,
the first impression is that of spaciousness, dignity
and repose, which is all the more remarkable be
cause it Is rarely found, much less expected, in so
mall a house. The wide plaster arches on each
aide of the hall, one opening Into the living room
-and the other into the dining room, and the glimpses
through these arches of well proportioned walls and
windows, contribute in no small measure to the
charm and beauty of the rooms. Add to this the
unroom. which may be either at the end of the
living room or the side, and the effect la a finished
piece of architecture.
The exterior of this design Is not far from those
of our Colonial forefathers. A successful use of

the Colonial design Involves minute attention to de
tails, such as the exact location of windows, the de
tails of the doorway and cornices, the design of the
windows, and more especially the shape and contour
of the house Itself. The designer of this house has
given careful study to all these matters which are
so Important in giving the true Colonial character.

tion of them. Tet. in spite of its simplicity. It is not
severe. The whole effect la lightened by the Vooden
trim about the front door, the wrought iron railing
and the Colonial stoop. The walla themselves will
be interesting without overworking simply through

The house is plain, simple, dignified and distinc

" Business expansion in Salem's
downtown district Is not at an end
even though there is practically
no major construction under way
Just now and none definitely an
nounced, for the near future.
Two significant facts remain to
prove that he Apparent lull in
downtown building is only tem
porary. The first is that there has
been no reduction in prices at
which downtown propertyls held,
and. the second is that there is
still an insistent demand on the
part of firms. desiring to locate tn
Salem, for downtown locations.
According to persons who have
kept close watch of Salem's devel
opment lnthe last few years, the
present situation is not an indi
cation that the stream is gonig
dry raher that the water is back
ing up behind he dam that has
been erected.
Locations Built Up
The "dam" to which these pro
phets refer is the situation where
by all locations which in the past
have been considered desirable for
the larger business firms, are
built up and tenanted by going
concerns.
There is inevitably an apparent
slowing down of progress at this
point, until demand gains mom
entum sufficient to make the next
big , step imperative; that of re
placing substantial though small
buildings with larger ones to ac
commodate larger business populations.
So far, water has splashed over
the dam in only a few places, the:
big onstandlng instance being the;
First National Bank building
erected by T. K? Livesley twoi
years ago. In a few other ca?es.
buildings have been remodeled:
and enlarged.
Buildings Permanent
For the most part, every brick
concrete or other fireproof or
semi-fireproof building that has
been erected in Saem is still stand
ing, and some of the streets are
fairly cluttered with building
in the architectural style that
prevailed in the 80's and 90's
With half a dozen really big
firms seeking downtown locations
here now but demanding front
age on the most heavily patron
ised streets where retail stores
prevail, the moment when water,
figuratively speaking, will begin
pouring over the spllway in a new
rush of building activity, -is be
lieved not far distant.
scenics that increase the sense of
space in a room are limitless.
There are very inexpensive ones
that are extremely beautiful In de
sign and color. The choice hand-
painted ones of lovely old world"
scenes, as well as of colonial
America, are of course quite ex
pensive, but they are well worth
the cost.
Another Type
Another type of scenic shows a
shadowy design repeated over and
over again. Sometimes these come
in tones of one color only, some
times there are several colors in
them. They are especially good
for balls and dining rooms. Colo
nial hallways simply cry out for
such a paper.
Not every sun room, in spite of
its name, gets much sun or out-of-doors.
For the city sun room,
high up from the street, why not
bring in the out-of-doors with a
bright foliage paper? With plain
draperies at the windows," the ef
fect would be very different from
the usual sun room scheme.
In the breakfast room there are
few limits to the freshening and
toning up paper can do. If the
calendar is long enough wo really
should have a week devoted to
"More Brightness and Cheer in
the Breakfast Room." Paint the
woodwork to harmonize with the
paper and don't be afraid of a
rather unusual color. Maybe the
scheme will call for blue wood
work, for green or even for red
The furniture, too, should har-
monlxe.
Lathing and plumbing oper
ations were begun this week and
the new residence of Dr. William
B. Mott which is being erected
at the corner of High and Rural
The house, a cBlonial type finish
ed in brick veneer, is set upon a
lot 70x100 and will be completed
by October 15. The building is
now under roof and is progress
ing rapidly, according to Frank
H. Struble, architect. Ralph Hein

construction.

New Wall Paper Will
Transform Dreary Rooms
NEW YORK, Aug. 25. (Spe
cial). Happily for the beauty of
our homes, wall paper is in the
fashion again. , There are so
mny lovely papers from whl.ch to
choose that we no longer have
any reason for drab and cheerless
homes.
Suppose we decide we want the
walls of our dining or the run
room to be a lovely picture. To
have an artist come in and paint
it would be out of the question
but with the use of a lovely pa
per we may have the work of one
of the finest artists, and at a very
reasonable cost.
. Stripes Lend Weight ,
Whether we want the walls to
be background or picture there is
the paper for" them. For the living
room, the walls usually should
be distinctly a background. Yet
there are times when a striped pa
per will raise a ceiling that is too
low and give great dignity to a
room that was meaningless be
fore. With simple cottage furni
ture like Early American and
French Provincial, a lovely toile
Dper V perfect in the living
room. The all-overness of .the
lOiie gives depth and warmth to
a room.
In the formal dining room we
may use a plain or decorative pa
per Just as we choose. The dec
orative possibilities eof handsome
