D. q Aug. 27. On the eve of the reoporiing of pub Hc,B private and parochial schools throughout the country, the Amorl enn Automobile Association today broadcast a warning to tuotoriflts lhat the return of millions of chll dren to the schoolroom will create mw traffic hazards and urged ca re fill driving on the part of every cur owner. The iiatlnnul motoring boily pointed out that the prevention ol accidents Involving school children hv largely within tho province or I ho motorist, mid Ihe exercise of million will go far In reducing the number of deaths and Injuries. "School. days are Just ahead' says the statement, "and millions of children will he upon the streets nnd highways.. In I his vast army will he little ones ot four, five and six years of age who for the first Mine are leaving the protection and safety of their hoiiien to enter n,u entirely new world. There will he problems enough without that of the reckless driver. . ,, "While there Is no doubt that teRrhine of safety In the schools throughout the country, surety posters and the effective work of the school hoy patrols has done much to protect these youngsters, tho problem will still remain e challenge to the nutton. . "Kvery motorist should feel obll gated to have n part in this great humanitarian work, nnd they should realise the enormous differ ence their care nnd consideration would mean In keeping these chll dren safe from physical harm as well it a from a fear that may mar the rest of their lives. Such a spirit on tlie part of the car own era will do more than anything else to make for safely." - The A A A. declared that while safety Is now a part of the curricu lum in many stales, and children who have had one or several yearn in school have been taught the rudiments of safety, they cannot al wuys be expected to exercise the utmost care. After spending the vacation period on sufe play grounds, there Is always a tend ency toward a let-down tn their mfety sens) when they first return to the streets. "Unless the drivers of all motor vehicles are on their guard at all times, this let-down will result In many fatalities and n Juries, sayB the statement. It I continues: i The reduction of accidents that Is traceable to the establishment of st hoot-boy patrols in hundreds of schools throughout the country is evidence that the courteous helpfulness of motor car drivers :ias been extended to these young sters wtjose wiiite belts and arm nanus iiientity them as saiety cru saders. There Is every reason to believe that still greater coopera tion will be given during this school year. The motor car operators have learned that when the boy patrol man holds up his hand or sets the atop sign aeiilnst him that. It is not an order but a plea for asHlatanco. Who could resist such a plea, when behind It Is the calm, confident trust of a child?" T, Purchase by the Pickwick Cor poration of Us Angeles of all prit pertles nnd franchises of Trans portes Nnevo Leon, a Mexican company operating a system ol motor busses covering more than 100 miles from Laredo, Texas, to Victoria, Tumallpas, was announc d by Chnrles F. Wren, president )f the Pickwick corporation. While no figures were given out, the pur chase price was said to run well .nlo six figures. Coincident with this announce ment, Mr. Wren revealed planB for curly extension of the llm louth to Mexico City and on to the Pacific seaport (own of Acapulco. The system, with this extension, will embrace more than 1000 miles of highway, traversing seven ol the most thickly populated Btates at Mexico and will Involve an In vestment of several hundred thou sand dollars In new equipment and facilities and an operating per sonnel of several hundred em ployes, Mr. Wren said. Acquisition of the Mexican singe system by Pickwick follows clotte ly on the recent establishment by lokwtck Latin American Airways of n trl-weekly mail, express nnd passenger service from Los An geles to Mexico City nnd Guate mala City. TEX CLEVELAND TRIP When Tex Rankin fishtailed his plane to a lauding al Cleveland, Ohio, in the uir derby from Port laud, taking second place in the race, the second cockpit In his plane was occupied by a Roseburg mechanic, who Is accompanying the Portland pilot on the trip, keep ing the engine in proper order. Kay Hartley, former resident here, brother of James Hartley, local mechanic, wired to his brother here this morning of this safo ar rival In Cleveland nnd announced the fact that they bud received second prize. Mr. Hartley received his me chanical Insi ruction in the naval flying corps during the World war. mil upon his return from service opened a garage In Cauyonvlllo. He later engaged In the real estate and insurance business with K. K. McLendon In Itoseburg, later re turning to his trade as a mechanic, being employed by Hoy Catching, local HudHon-Kssex dealer. He was at all limes Interested In avia tion, and three years ago entered the Hank In school at Portland.

LAND TRANSFER PLAN OF HOOVER GETS APPROVAL (Continued from page t) NEW I'Y" SECRETARY SALKM, Ore.. Aug. 2S. Mrs. Elizabeth K. Oallaher arrived here yesterday from Vallejo.

She succeeds Miss Kllznbeth Halter. western stales where the federal government continues to exercise Jurisdiction over public lands, min eral lands, water and publicly own ed timber. Transfer all nnentored public lands to the stnte for school pur poses just ns millions of acres were given to the western states upon admission to union. Retention of federal control over national forests. Retention of federal control over oil lands nnd all mffieral re sources found on lauds which are to be given to the states. Abolishment of homestead net and Instead of making residence on the land compulsory, permit ting purchasers to buy outright. Permitting the federal govern ment to build dams and reservoirs for storage of water from the re clamation fund and allowing the staL.es to Amlld cmmls and ditches for Irrigation work on reclamation projects. Would Aid Oregon Transfer of the 193.000.000 acres of unentered homestead lands to the states in which they are locat ed would give Oregon, for example, unexpected and much needed sup port for its public schools and edu cational instil ut ions. Sales of public lauds netted the federal government only $700,000 miring tho fiscal year ending June SO. Pl'JS. and nil Ihe money re- ceived went Into the reclamation fund. Under slate ownership the lands could be leaded to stock growers and sold to people desir ous of obtaining farms and made to work for the school fund. Un der the policy now In vogue, the federal government obtains no rentals from the vacant lands and they are grazed at will by cowmeu and sheepmen. Ranges Face Exhaustion The secretary of the Interior al ready has Informed governors of western states that there g emi nent danger of water shortage be cause ranges have been overgraz ed and bo effort has been made to regulate watersheds except in national forests. Present cattle ranges, It was said, are not worth 50 per cent of what they were 20 years ago. It in believed that within another 20 years natural grasses on runge will be completely exhausted. There also is the possibility that forest lands not now included in forest reservoirs' can be placed uudetr the forestry service before the public binds are turned over to the states. The commission which the president will appoint will be empowered to Bee what areas can be embraced In the forest reserves before there Is any transfer of pub lic land. Opposition Ahead WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. Con siderable interest was manifested at the capital yesterday fn Presi dent Hoover's proposal for transfer of public lands to the states and there were indications actual re commendation of such a step would meet opposition. Several senators said flatly thai If the transfer did not Include giv ing state complete ownership of oil and mineral deposits they would be opposed to it. Among the western republican senators opposed to the transfer as tentatively outlined by the White House Is Horah of Idaho, who said it seemed to be one of the dumping only the poor and unus able land upon the states with the federal government retaining its rights to vast forest reserves and the potentially rich oil and miner al deposits. He snld he saw no ad vantages, to the state in the pro posal as outlined and wns not cer tain that it would benefit anyone. Senator Stnott, republican, Utah, said he favored Mr. Hoover's pro posal only ir the lands would be given outright to the states. This position also was taken by Sona tor King, democrat, Utah, who hns legislation pending calling for th' cession of these public lands to the states.
