Haw ley, Jr head of the Hawley Pulp5 & Paper Compahy, of Oregon City, with a party of three men, in two auto mobiles, left on a 10,000 mile trip to Mexico City and return. After the. party arrived In Salem, Sat urday, morning, Mr. Hawley and his ' associates look dinner at the Marion hotel between 1 and 2 o'clock. . Mr. Hawley's expedition will break the sands of a trackless desert f rom, the Texas line to Mex ico. City, crossing a' desert waste that . has. baffled the attempts or every motor expedition, j . Mr.. Hawley has in. his part; a national news syndicate writer, Mr. Earl C. Brownlee, formerly of Mexico City; a Mr. Van Sc6yfc a motion mciure onerator: ana Air. J. I. Straight, chief electrician of the big Hawley plant. A 7-passenger Buick and a spe cial made-over Ford' will convey the party on what is looked for ward to as a venturesome and perilous" trip. The Buick . is a 7 passenger open car anil the Ford has a greatly lengthened . wheel base, special Chevrolet, transmis sion . and - Chalmers hood.. Both cars, are equipped with Portland made : C-T-C oversize han d-buil t cords which were chosen because of their stamina, and endurance, also, because of . their special low inflation feature and traciibn Qualities, which are. looked for ward to being of great advantage crossing the-, deserts. In the equipment carried is 30,- 000 feet of motion picture film which, when exposed, has already been booked by an international film distributor. ' . Mr. Brownlee is syndicating stories of the expedition to a long list of American newspapers and has been commissioned for special feature stories by a number of the national magazines. Intensive study is going to be made of the Mexican Indian Blan ket Industry and of the conditions surrounding the making of Mexi can hand-drawn work, of - which little is known in this country. f The party, carries special mes sages from 4. Secretary Hughes, Goveronr Pierce and Mayor Baker to President Obregon. Mr. Haw ley has said that lack of roads and bridges will in no wise deter the party from reaching Mexico City, and that unless captured by Mexi can bandits he will send greetings from Mexico City to Oregon at 6 p.m., March 29. Swedish School Children Take Readi&to Swimming 1 STOCKHOLM, Feb. 18 (By Mail). The nation-wide drive in Sweden, which aims to make every school child a good swimmer, has scored notable results In the city of Stockholm, according to official reports. Systematic . competitions have been held jointly by state, muni cipal, and private schools, and the records show that in . some instl tutlons 86 per cent of the pupils can swim more than 3.00 feet un der test conditions. . In the high schools' the average is 38 per cent for the 100 meter distance, whil in the. grade schools 32 per cent of; the children can swim at least 80 feet Nearly 8,000 pupils passed the rigid tests.

Schoolmasters, "shy and retiring souls4 that theyv, are." ., o,ught ,to back up . and be .arrogant and ag gressive and take hold of the world,, for they, are the 'mpst im portaat people In the .wjiol civlt Used community, says H. O. Wells. When Mr. Wells delivered him self of these opinions, in an ad dress rtothe annual meeting of the Incorporated : Association of - Assis tant Masters in Secondary Schools, some of the asembled teachers ap plauded and others laughed, r But MrWeffs'did' net laugh.

They don't seem to, real ized that the world is not a going concern, but a finUshed affair in which they have very Subordi nate and supplementary part. They are a shy . and specialized people who keep together even on their holidays. x Then Mr. Wells turned his thoughts to this "new and better world," this "reconstructed hu man life" that "high-minded peo ple" talk so much about " these days. He said that when the re constructed human, life exists. school teachers will be the very soul and center of it.
