"I have received three telephone calls from Salem people who want to know If they have any right of it'gai action against the city for allowing water to flood their base ments and back up their sewers. Fred Williams, city attorney, stated this morning when questioned on the subject. Several members of the council and alter Low, city street com. missioner, declare that the only practicable solution to the problem is In taking out datiw that now Im pair the course of Mill Creek as it flows through Salem, and cleaning and straightening the chunnel of the stream so that it will not over flow its banks as a result of rains. The channel of the stream has been permitted to become clog ged with growths of willows and other foliage, and in many places it has also become clogged with sedi ment. Hints were even being made this morning that a special election may be called In the near future to ask voters to bond the city to pay for necessary work on the creek. At the present time there are three dams that are believed to Im pede the course of the water through the city. One la located near I' 1st street Just south of the point where State street crosses the creek; another Is situated Just north of the Center street bridge. and a third Is a few yards west of the North Church street brld The 21st street bridge could not be legally taken out due to a contract existing between the city and the local paper mill, which has a mill race running to ltd plant from point above the dam. The Center street dam is located beside an ice plant to which It has furnished power during part of the year, and the Church street dam was orig inally built in order to direct water into the Division street ditch, which was filled up at tne time the new per converting plant was built Front street something over a year ago. Some members of the council have questioned whether to tear out the dams and clean and straight on the channel would be an effective solution to the drainage problem, which has grown more actue every season for the past several years. Other business expected to be taken up by the council tonight In cludes awarding contracts for pav ing material to be used during the coming spring and summer. Cars driven by O. W.

JKetkrHealth LomerLife Till: PRFYF.XTION OF Tl lll lt. ('( MINIS TIIKOl'UII m .;as t Itl S llUIX I i:i) TO CHILD HOOD l.MIXTlON (By F. M. Pottenger, M. I., Mon rovia, Cal., Member Gorgas Meinborial Instittue.) The development of our knowl edge concerning tuberculosis difr- Ing the past 26 years has changed our point of view. We now know that the time to fight tuberculosis is during childhood. This Is the time to prevent Infection nnd nlso the timo to secure an arrestment of Infections which do occur before they soriously undermine the health of the Individual. Practically every Individual Is Ift focted with tuberculosis sometime during his lifetime, most Infections taking place during the early years. Overcoming of one Infection In creases the patient's ability to with- stand future Infections. In other words, it establishes a certain de gree of resistance or Immunity; but, unfortunately, it also produces a tuberculous focus which, unless it heals, remains a danger for the future health of the child. Ry studying large groups of children who live in Intimate con. tact with open tuberculosis we have learned a great deal about the way infection takes place and the man ner In which the child develops an increased resistance to tubercle bacilli. In close contact with open tuber culosis, bacilli gain entrance to the child's body every now and then. Each Infection which tha child overcomes gives him power to over come a greater number cf bacilli next time, unless the Infections are too frequent and caused by too many bacilli. Since the dosage of bacilli and the Interval between successive in fections cannot be controlled, tho only safe thing to do 4s to guard the child against danger of infec tion. The problem In childhood Is first to shield the child from all known sources of infection. If born in the environment of open tubercu losis, the child should bo removed nt once. If Infection occurs prior to removal, the child should bo watched carefully to see that the infection heals. If a child known to be Infected develops normally. It is a fairly good elgn that the in fection Is not doing serious harm; but if the child Is nervous. Irritable, loses appetite, becomes a poor eater and sleeper, shows nerve irritabil ity and instability, and is subject to rccurrint attacks of bronchitis, a phys!c.an who understands tuber culosis should be consulted at once. The measures that are most valu able for such children are open-air life, healthy play In the open air, good food, long hours of sleep, and an adequate amount of rust; at least exercise should be adjusted to tho patient's ability to stand It, and the child should be shielded from undue mental, physical nnd emotional strain.

CWCFIt HOW TO FIGHT IT Hy O. K. Pfuhler, M. U, Philadel phia. Pa., member Gorgns Mem orial Institute. Cancer Is tho cause of one out of every 10 deaths over the age of 20. It may occurs at any age, but occurs most 'frequently between the ages of 40 and 60. Through the leadership of the medical profession, together with the Individual and united efforts of ttie public in the fight against the Infectious diseases such as measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, diphtheria, typhoid fever, and tuberculosis, the deaths from these causes have been reduced about 60 per cent during the past 20 years. This has given an aver age prolongation of life, but has carried more people Into the can cer age. This must, therefore, be at least one cause for the Increase of nearly 60 per cent In cancer deaths during the same 20 years. The exact cause of cancer Is not known, but we do know that can cer does not begin In healthy tis sue, and that. If the tissues are kept In a healthy condition, cancer will not be likely to develop. To ward this end all wnrts, moles (es pecially if undergoing change). chronic sores, and recurring crusts should be removed or properly treated. In the mouth, white patches or any sore or ulcer on the lip, ton gue, cheek or throat that does not begin to heal within two weeks should receive skillful medical treatment. Any tumor may be cancer, or may change into can cer. Indigestion which recurs fre quently should be carefully Investi gated and properly treated. Any unnatural discharge from the body should arouse suspicion and should bo definitely proven not to be due to cancer. Cancer does not Indi cate any blood taint. Involves no dlsgrnce, it not contagious, and la not painful at the beginning. No serum or medicine has been found that will cure cancer, but that applies also to tuberculosis. nnd yet through watchful care tu berculosis can bo prevented and, if properly trented at the beginning. can ho cured. Likewise, If cancer is recognized and treated at the beginning while It Is still a local disease, It can be cured In the great majority of cases. One may compare a cancer to a fire. A fire can easily be put out, even by a pitcher of water, If It la recognized and treated properly at the beginning. Rut the more the fire has spread, the more difficult It Is to fight and the more damage will be done. Hepending upon the nature of tilings, the fire or the cancer may develop very slowly and the ffght may bo successful, al though begun very late, or It may develop very rapidly and delay may lose the ffght. To prevent a fire, the fire un derwriters Inspect the building and have tho conditions removed which lend to fire. To fight cancor, have the body inspected so as to remove the conditions which precede can cer or. If this has not been a one, have the rnncer treated skillfully and thoroughly from the beginning. CHAMBER HEARS PLANNING PLANS Government of Ihe majority through petition facilitates the op eration of the Salem soning ordi nance, P. Campbell, chairman of the city planning and son ing commission, totd members of the chamber of commerce Monday noon. While certain districts and the use to which they may be put are prescribed, these can be chang ed upon petition of 61 per cent of the property owners and should the city or commission seek changes, the same 61 per cent can block the proposal. City planning Is growing In fa vor throughout the I lifted States, particularly during the past five venrs, though Medford Is the onljr city In Oregon outside of Portland, to have ordlnnnre besides Salem. Zoning Is no panacea, but he1(s to stahllbre values and cuts losses at the sturt, he snld. Its fundamental principal Is the application of com mon sense In tho governing of pri vately owned real estate and seeke to eliminate private gain at publlo expense. Property Is used In pres ent sones may continue as the or dinance Is non -retroactive, but chances In the uses of certain properties must be In accord to prolslns of the ordinance.
