A Truly Great
Parallel Parking
Inconvenient Say
; Street Cleaners
Motorists may get over the in
convenience of learning , how to
park their cars in parallel fash
ion in a few weeks but one group
will have a la s t i a g grudge
against the new system.
The city street-cleaners the
men who tidy up the downtown
streets when most of the citisen
ry la la bed are the loudest
groaners. ; They can't sweep in
close to the curb where a car is
parked in the parallel fashion.
e Point Row
Getting Attention
: ( Continued from Page 1)
Washington are expected to test
ify in behalf of the Tongue Point
measure. Mayor Joe Carson of
Portland said he would make
every effort to attend the hear
ings. He -also plans to testify the
same day before the house rlrers
and harbors committee which is
considering three measures to set
up administrative machinery at
Bonneville dam on the Columbia
river east of Portland.
"I want to tell the naval affairs
committee." Carson said, "that
Oregon feels it has been neglected
as far as national defense is con
cerned. Millions upon millions of
dollars have been spent in Cal
ifornia and Washington, while
very little money has been put In
to projects on the Oregon coast."
WPA Approval of
Mains Job Likely
Approval of the Salem water
commission's 12th street main
building WPA project is anticipat
ed by Senator Charles L. McNary.
he has advised the commission.
The city's application for the

Protest Filed on
Vacation of Road

Silverton-Victor Point road yes
terday brought the county court
a protest petition signed by Daph-
na B. Hein end 31 other people
including nine signers of the re
quest to vacate.
The Objectors' petition asserts
the vacation proposal was misrep
resented and that abandonment of
the old road would leave Valley
View school with a road entry
only from the north and would
mean an - extra mile's walk for
children in the south end of the
district.
Contract Delayed

lights in downtown Salem was fur
ther delayed Monday night when

Rotarians Hosts
On Ladies' Night
Mental Reserve Power Is
Theme of Dr. Ballard
at Annual Event
Blossoms v made the Marlon
hotel a bower of beauty for the
annual Rotary ladles night cel
ebrated last night. Pots of gay-
colored tulips and other spring
flowers adorned the tables and
branches of cherry blossoms were
banked on the posts' overhead.
The program of the evening was
quite as brilliant as the decora
tions. " The address by' Dr. J. Hudson
Ballard, of Portland on "Releas
ing Our Mental Reserves' proved
to be a witty yet Informative pop
ular discussion of some import
ant facts of psychology. Hal Young
of the University of Oregon, dra
matic tenor, gave generously of
his talent in response to enthus
iastic encores. -
For an entertainment number
Keith Barker, student at the state
university, showed unusual skill
as a Juggler. During the dinner
Guy Albin's orchestra played.
William McGllchrist, sr., led the
company in group singing.
Reserve Power Topic
Dr. Ballard's talk dealt with
the use of the reserve powers
which normally are from 30 to
SO per cent of one's resources.
Their existence is demonstrated in
times of crisis, when undreamed
of reservoirs of energy are tapped.
When in danger a person will use
almost superhuman strength to
escape. There is no accretion of
power from outside; but the us
ual stimulus has released the re
serve energies.
Where these powers are stored
the psychologist and the physi
ologist are not sure. It may be,
said Dr. Ballard, In the ductless
glands, whose' secretions, little
known yet, are chemically among
the most potent in the body. It
may be in the nerve, cells or neu
rons, which act like tiny storage
batteries. Numbering billions they
may when coordinated and stim
ulated generate the extra strength
displayed in rare circumstances.
The true explanation is not that
of magic or a miracle; but of the
existence of. potential resources
within ourselves. By drawing on
these reserves ordinary people
should be able to rise to higher
levels than they considered them
selves able to reach.

because of constant suffering with
my upset stomach, sluggish kid

Harms. "My stomach was so bad
that everything I ate would have
an awful effect on me and would
disagree with " me and turn sour
and form loads of gas which bloat
ed .me up ao tight I thought my
poor stomach would burst. I felt
nauseated and upset and kept
having terrible sick headaches and
dizzy spells. My sluggish kidneys
got me up out of bed several
times during the night and I had
such misery all through my back
and around my kidneys that when
I got up in the mornings I could
hardly move, and all through -the
day I would have sharp pains in
my back and if I tried to stoop
over they would almost stifle
ME! My bowels had been consti

to be chronic with me and I was
always taking laxatives, and I
know my whole system must have
been poisoned and. full of impur
