CITY DRAINAGE
TO BE TACKLED
TONE'S MEET
With flood conditions nt on acut
stage In numerous sections of Salem
today, and demunds that some step
by way of a permanent solution to
ine menace be taken Immediately.
members of the city council today
maicaieu that the problem of cltv
drainage would be taken up by the
councu ai us regular meeting to
night.
"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.

young Miller shortly nfter he land
ed at the training school. Milter,

Wilbur decided to go along with
him.

t Itl S llUIX I i:i) TO CHILD
HOOD l.MIXTlON
(By F. M. Pottenger, M. I., Mon

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.
The things which today are help
ing most In preventing Infected
children from developing future
tuberculosis nre: More scientific
care given the preschool child.
general hygienic measures which
are instituted in the homes; Inspec
tion of children in tho schools; the
school nurse; extra food supplied
by school authorities and henl'h
hoard; playgrounds nnd parka,
where play Is supervised; outdoor
camps; nnd the Increased Intelli
gence used in meeting the problems
of the child who is below normal In

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. It Is
more expensive to re-plan, as In
Halem. than to plan In advance aa
