Whitney, of Ockley Green School, issued the call that resulted in organi zation of the Men's Protective League. Mr. Whitney said in the call: "For years the lives of the children of this neighborhood have been threat ened by villains who infest the woods in the region of the schoolhouse. Situation Is Critical. "Appeals have been made to the city authorities for relief from this unen durable situation, but no permanent relief has been given, and our little boys and girls are terrorized in our very presence, and up to date we have made no concerted move to stamp out the evil. "If the sheep, hogs or cattle of any community were menaced by wolves, or other vicious animals, as are our children in this neighborhood, the Leg islature would be called upon to pass a law offering a bounty on scalps. How do you value the life of your boy or girl? What measures shall we take to protect their lives? "Last Monday it was your neigh bor's little boy who was lured into the woods by a brute. Next week it may be your boy or girl. "Shall we men suffer the lives of our wives and children to be daily menaced without one word of effectual protest? Is life' so dear or ease so sweet that we would not risk all to rid our community of these degenerates and the lives of our loved ones from hourly terror?"

The recent car shortage again begin to be a live subject in connection with the possible transportation of troops and cavalry horses to the Mexican bor der. Officials of the Southern Pacific say that whether there would be a shortage depends upon what sqrt of cars were demanded.

PUBLIC CEHTEfi SOUGHT CENTRAL EAST SIDE AND IRVING TON NEED POINTED Ol't lioslnesa Men's Club Takes 1'p Matter. LnurclhurKt Plot treed as Suit able, Convenient Plnce. "Community Centers and What Is Be ing Done to Develop Them in Port land," was the subject of the address by L. M. Lepper, secretary of the East Side Business Men's Club, yesterday before the Current ISvents Club of Westminster Presbyterian ChuTch. Mr. Lepper reviewed what other cities are doing to make the schoolhouses neighborhood centers and places of educational interest, and then said Ore gon, by legislative enactment, had thrown open the public schools to the use of the public, with the result that in Portland the schoolhouses are be inar generally used. "Peninsula Park has the only real community center in the city," said Mr. Lepper, "for it has the buildings there for public gatherings, for socials, lec tures and entertainments, and a large and well-developed playground. It has swimming pools for the boys and girls, which arc largely used. All these thinprs are well worth while, and make for better citizenship. Sellwood has a swimming pool, and thousands go there from Central East Portland and Mount Tabnr. "The Central East Side and Irving ton," Mr. Lepper pointed out, "have no community center, and to remedy this omission the East Side Business Men's Club is urjring the erection of a com munity center on the four acres the city has leased near the Laurelhurst Park. There are more than 16,000 chil dren who would be tributary to such a center. PORTLAND IDEA WINS DETROIT AND NEW YORK INTER ESTED IN SAFETY FIRST SIGNS.
