For several years the motor bus travel has been Increasing in vol ume, hitting the railroad passenger service until the railroads have been forced In nearly all states to enter Into direct competition with I the-motor busses by engaging in the sume line or business, in Cali fornia the railroads have been op erating bus lines tor several years, and now the same Bervice is to be .established in Oregon.

FINAL THIS WEEK (Associated Press Leased Wire) NEW YORK, Sept. 32,An all French final is in prospect In the national championship tourna ment at Forest Hills this week. Be lief is general that having won the Davis Cup, France will retain the American title at singles. Rene La Coste, defending cham pion and conqueror of both Wil liam T. Tllden and' William M. Johnston in the Davis Cup matches at Philadelphia, is the reigning favorite. Expert opinion is that in the final round he will play anoth er French star, Henl Cochet. If the French do carry off the national chnmplonshlp, they will have every major tennis title lor men In 1927 in their possession. Even though Tllden should reach the semi-final round and clash with Cochet, whom he de feated ar Philadelphia It is consid ered doubtful that he will have the stamina to pull out another virtorv. The possibility of Little mil Johnston holding up thru the siege is considered slight, for he too, rired rapidly last week. WOMAN KILLED IN .
