Oddie Describes Work.
The work of the schoolboy patrols in
reducing traffic fatalities among school
children was called to the attention OF
the Senate yesterday by Senator Tasker
L. Oddie of Nevada, who had state
ment on the subject inserted in the
Congressional Record for two reasons:
First" the Senator said, that we
may have a greater appreciation OF
what this safety patrol movement
means to the boys and girls who daily
attend school, and, second, that BY rec
ognizing what has already been accom-
plished, we may lend encouragement to
the further extension Of the safety
movement"
The Senator's statement pointed out
that the American Automobile Associa-
tion through its 1000 aftihated clubs
has played a leading role in this phase
of safety work, resulting in the saving
of countless lives.
100000 Boys in Ranks.

said. 200. 900 boys in 1900 cities have
