BYRON SALEM'S "GROWING PAINS" The "growing pains" common to all progressive Ameri can towns in the process of their transition from villages to cities are becoming more and more alarmingly apparent to those having the clearest conceptions of the serious problems which the city of Salem now faces, and which are becoming constantly more acute. - - The greatest problem is that of shaping the municipal pocietbook to meet the rapidly increasing demands' beirig made upon it without saddling a prohibitive tax burden upon property, which, furnishes the almost exclusive source for revenues. Drastic readjustments to accomplish real economies that look beyond blind penny-pinching have been the first remedies applied to other cities that have, conspicuously, been successful in weathering the transition period through which Salem is now moving. They have discarded worn out, wasteful and unscientific systems of local government, re placing them with efficient organizations that function with a definite responsibility and along sound business lines. The city of Salem is $17,000,000 corporation and the conduct of its business cannot be left to a loose, irresponsible organization that knows no head nor tail. Likewise, a more equitable system of footing the bills for needed municipal improvements must be devised im provements sectional rather than city-wide in their direct benefits. It is not surprising that persons living in one end of the city should object strenuously to sharing equally in the costs of an improvement the benefits of which are large ly localized to a neighborhood on the other side of town. Yet those improvements may be vital to the city at large in the more abstract category of civic betterments, and many cities have found a solution for this puzzling question in charter revisions permitting and recognizing local im provement districts, where the expense of such projects is assessed upon specifically defined districts in proportion to the benefits or damages to particular parcels of property. In Salem such a system would permit of more adequate lighting of the downtown streets, the opening and widening of ar terial streets and many other projects not now possible under a scheme which permits of no segregation of benefits and only serves to retard those sections of the city which would, if permitted, pueh forward in the parade and by force of their momentum lift the entire city further along. RAPID PROGRESS MADE IN COUNTY ROAD BUILDING Better Health - Longer Life GORGAS MEMORIAL INSTITUTE . ARB TOO A POOR SLEEPER? . By Charles F. Kuhn, . D. Detroit, Michigan With Uie rush and pace of pres ent day We. there seems to be an unusual and increasing number ot persons suffering from sleep dis turbances. There are numerous causes, such as: llrlng the strenuous life from childhood to old age. competitive school work, athletics, commercial producUon. high pressure salesman ship, social demands, late hours. Indiscretions of food and drink and especially eating heavy meals be lore retiring with attending indi gestion; so-called auto-lntoxlcatlon and nervous breakdown. Among other causes may be mentioned worry over finances; domestic, health, or social problems, cough, high or low blood pressure, toxic conditions from local Infections, cold feet, Itchy skin, urinary dis turbances, fatigue, sedentary or Ir regular habits, noisy bedrooms, poor ventilation, tea, coffee, or chocolate; also pain from any cause. Many persons not able to sleep well become conscious or alarmed of the danger from the loss of Bleep. They dwell upon the subject until they become obsessed by the Idea of 1U health because of eleenlei ness. This leads them so resort to tiie use of drugs reoommeded as aure cures . for lncomnla. Those commonly taken are: aspirin, bromides, luminol, alknuU, verlnol. barbatol, cannlbus lndloa, hyos cyamus, chloral hydrate, etc. An of the above mentioned drugs are dangerous If taken without careful medical supervision.

How manypeople realize the Im portance of taking sufficient exer cise to keep physically fit? What percentage of peole In this country who own a automobile will take the time and exert the effort to walk for short distances? Very likely, not a high percentage. In most cases the reason is that the automobile has become so convenient that It Is really Irresistible. And then too Inasmuch as- It has made walking much less essential. So much riding and so little walk ing commonly result In several un desirable and unhealthy conditions; It frequently resulta In obesity, which means difficulty In Indulging In strenuous exercise, embarrassed heart action, shortness of breath, loss of good looks in women, abnor mal degree of drowsiness, and a ten dency to diabetes and Bright' di sease. It usually results In abnormal me tabolism. The chemical and physical changes within the tissue become altered. And the process of erchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide Is re tarded. The gases In the tissues be come stagnant as It were. It also in time results. In many Instances, in a decreased efficiency of the heart muscles. The heart gradually loses Its strength, from lessened activity, to normally with stand much exertion. Then too, the skeletal muscles lose their vigorous tone and become flabby. Naturally and proportionately unci enuurance oecomcs affected and becomes less and less. Finally, the Individual notices a toss of pep and experiences a de ficient feeling. When he presents himself to hie family doctor for a thorough check up, one of the recommendatlona that he will receive Is that lie In dulge In regular exercise. Brisk walking in tlie fresh air Is ideal, and It Is a form of exercise that anybody can take regardless of age or purse. Its benefit are many. It strengthens the heart, It aids diges tion, it overcomes Intestinal slug gishness, and it assists the skin In elimination. In fact. It promotes the activity of all the body functions. witn all the body processes Kent efficient this way, the mind, as result, Dccomes more vigorous. Brisk -walking too caust-s a fn-llnci of well being, prevents depression, and In fact exhilarates. Truly one should make a habit ef walking. It should alwavs be done whenever It Is reasonably possible, and It should not be put off for only the convenient time. The thought to be emphasised Is that there Is not better exercise than brisk walking in the open air, that pit Oeraaaiur' aortaern climate, there I ne transportation that 1 o there Is a lemon tret in a park tier 1 Inexpensive, and that the best time Road work on the county market program is making rapid progress, Roadmaster W. J, Culver states, and unless a bad break Is had with the weather the entire 40 miles outlined for this year's Improvement win oe completed. This Includes four mile of pavjng which Is now going on and will be finished In a week ana a nair. Mr. Culver states that this veer' work Is keeping right along with the average of progress made on the last five year program. Inas much as this 1 the first year ot a new nve year program, and Inas much as the last program which was scheduled to cover a period of five year was cleaned up In three years, he conceded that It looks now as though the present five year pro gram may be rounded out In three years time, and that another pro gram may be laid out at the nrf 01 ine tnree years pi similar mag The present five war uoes not include any verv areat """ "i paving, dui aoes include a heavy mileage of market mod ma cadam. While nothing definite has ever been said about it, It I the general Impression that the court's iaea is to cover the county like a blanket with the market macadam roads- and get heavy grade laid and allowed to al: nd until they make perfect bases and then start iu on a paving nroBram w,m. funds will permit ' Every two years something of kink Is put Into the development of road plan by the court, due to the meeting of the legislature and the possibility ever present when that body Is In session of some changes being made In road financing plans. However, the work has never been crippled as yet due to the over. whelming public demand for ood roads everywhere and the likelihood of any change in the future seems to be along a line of more money iur nwrKeb roaas ratner tnan less. Members of the court are all a unit mat u a cent of tax was added to gasoline and the nroceeds from this cent turned over to the county nuin wnicn me money emanated, that at would onlv be a nilp.ql.lnn f a few years before practically every road ot any consequence In the county would be paved. It is likely an effort will be made next session to get wis extra cent. Fo rum Oenadkutlen te tbss nrt be wnfiaed e SM and signed fry writer. To the Editor; This Is not Inter. ed as a slur on the American Legion, wub wn wouia uxo to ask why in heck don't the merchants of Salem let the Legion run the Legion and attend to tnetr own business? I came In town Friday to spend some money on furniture, kitchen ware, crockery, etc. and found every store that I wished to trade with Closed up, and moreover they didn't open up again, except the meat markets and groceries. I had heard vaguely that there was a Legion convention going on but I never imagined all the merchants would be taking part in It, wnen I was a clerk In a store I used to think it was a fine thing to take a day or two off out of the regular vacation, and let the nubile go to Uie devil for a while. "Oh. they'll come back," I said. But since I have been running my own busi ness I have found that there Is no way to drive away trade like closing the store. It causes no end of Incon venience to country folk like mvaelf who come into town to trade and then cant trade because the stores are closed, and as they have no particular interest in the main -vent, there 1 nothing to do but go home, and come again maybe. In this case the trade 1 lost, not because I am ore, particularly, but because having to make a trip to Portland In a very few davs ni spend all my money there because It would make extra expense to go back to Salem again, but next time I'll go to Portland first.

(L Rooster of this vicinity may crow as long, loudly and early as they please, ac cording to a recent decision ot J Ward Russell, city attorney, who was called upon to settle the matter.

The birds were so noisy, particularly on cloudy days. the citizens claimed, that thev should bo declared nuisances and done away with. The mayor stated he had merer heard of an ordinance for quieting roosters and consulted the city at torney.

And apeaklng ot seed. just now 1 the tune to be harvesting it. if you have left delphiniums without cutting down there are sure to be many seeds In the pods, and It Is well to plant them a you pick them. And do not labor and worry over them. They are not half as ten der a some seedsmen would have us believe, for last summer In clean ing up my garden I hung some ot the. plants across a string to get them out of my way and there they stayed all winter, easting their seed on dry ground beneath where they came up and lived throughout our severe winter without a bit ot pro tection. And there are a lot ot seeds you may save by Just hanging up the plant If it has been broken' fairly green, although perfectly dry Is the best way of course. Right now poppies-should be planted for next year, and pansles, and all the per ennials, but you must see to tt that they are kept wet until the fall rains will take the task off your hands. Many of the best miles are Just coming Into bloom, and ltuies from seed seem quite a possibility here in Oregon, although I have tried only the Tiger lily, which 1 wild anyway, only a generation, or two back, wintering the seedlings is the great problem to those without greenhouse, but if you let them be come dry and cured even though small they will winter outside as well as their "parents."
