"Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." : , BYRON A Job For The Planners If in search for civic wrongs to be righted and mistakes ! to be corrected the city planning and zoning commission will 1 turn its attention to and point the way to elimination 01 tne irregular and dangerous street intersections which dot heav ily traveled thoroughfares of the city it will have conferred upon the community an enduring service, and will have func tioned well in justification Of its own existence. Salem with its patchwork growth of irregular additions, platted without regard to any general plan of a comprehens ive street scheme and with little regard for any consideration except those of the sales promoters, today offers a compli cated problem in auto traffic engineering. The time has passed when any extensive relocation of streets can be ac complished at a reasonable cost, and the alternate remedy is that of devising a system of trunk arteries reasonably free from the sharp angles which constitute the principal haz- .: Sards of motor traffic in congested districts. To devise such a plan and formulate means by which it , can be carried into successful execution Tit a. cost commen Burate with the advantages is a proper function of the plan- sing commission. One of the real problems involved is that of devising an equitable system of 'financing the improvements involved the purchase of rights-of-way and the required paving opera tions. In that the advantages to be derived are more of a general than a purely local nature, it is not reasonable that the expense should be assessed against only the abutting . property, and it is doubtful if such work could always be charged against the fund provided for the improvement of street intersections. , . - ,; Nor is it reasonable to expect that the owners of prop erty required in etrecting proper allignment of the streets should donate the land to be' utilized. It is probable that the work could best be carried out : through amended charter provisions permitting the orgarii ; zation of local improvement and assessment districts; or, it ; might better be handled through a special general assess ment for such a stated purpose. Such matters are, however, part of the job of the plan ; ning commission, to which the Capital Journal commends such an undertaking at an early date. .

Better Health - Longer Life GORQAS MEMORIAL INSTITUTE DUMB DORA : X-BAX SHOWS CAUSE OF . EPILEPSY By Mark Lewis Emerson, M. D. uaaiane, caiir Member Gorges Memorial A recent case of epilepsy showed a loose niece of bone within tnn skull as the cause. The case had an Indefinite history of a head injury in vuuuuooa, out it was so long ago that the mother forgot all nhnnt it At the age of sixteen, the child de veloped frequent attacks of epilep sy. An x-ray of the skull did not show any evidence ot fracture, but ft did show a small object the size of a pea under the dura or thick brain membrane, which was not attached to the bony skull. An exploratory Incision demonstrated - that ihi small hard substance could be re moved by dissecting It out of the scar tissue of the brain membrane. It was later examined and proved to be a piece of bone. After this was removed the patient recovered. It was tnougnc tnat there had been an internal fracture in childhood, that a detached piece, ot bone be came enmeshed in the brain mem. brane, which finally became so lr mating that It caused so-called oram spasm or epileptic fits. The brain has two or thno nv. erings, first the skull, then the dura a very thick fascia-like membrane, then a fine spider-web-like mem- orane, ruu 01 small-caliber blood vessels. In congestion of the brain. It Is this mesh of blood vessels that Is often affected. Nature does a neat deal to m. tect the brain with its hard bonv casing, its delicate membrane and different fluids within the crani um. Head injuries of all kinds should be considered serious, automobile accidents are now sr prolific source of various types of head injuries, and cautious driving should reduce tne nunwer 01 accidents and frac tures. The average case of epilepsy should not be considered hopeless, as the cause can be found In some cases and many can be irreatlv re- ueveo. epileptics are receiving greet neneiii irom certain medicines re cently placed on the market and noticeable headway is being made in relieving these unfortunate peo ple.
