Dr. TV. J. Kerr, president of the Ore gon Agricultural College, arrived in Portland yesterday from Washington, D. C, and for the firsttime learned that he had been the center of a great amount of comment, all favorable to himself, because of the possibility that he might leave Oregon for another field. Immediately upon Dr. Kerr's arrival In Portland he retired to an apartment in the Imperial Hotel and plunged Into a mass of details connected with work of the utmost importance, which has been assigned to him by the War and Agricultural Departments. He will go to Corvallis early today. Dr. Kerr was surprised to learn of the numerous favorable comments that had been made C4Ticerning him because of a Washington dispatch to The Ore Eronian recently, announcing that he had been offered the position of presi dent of the Kansas Agricultural Col lege at a salary of $9000 a year. Having been unable to obtain copies of Port land newspapers he did not know of what had been transpiring in his home Etate. Dr. Kerr Is Cndeclded. As to what he will decide with re frard to the Kansas offer. Dr. Kerr was unable at this time to say, but he hoped coon to be able to make an announce ment. It Is true." said Dr. Kerr, "that the presidency of the Kansas Agricultural College has been offered me, and number of Eastern friends have urged the importance of accepting the posi tion, pointing out its advantages an Importance from various standpoints. However, I am unprepared at this time to give a definite answer, as I have not yet reached home and have not had the time In which to give it due con sideration. I simply promised to take . the subject under consideration." Dr. Kerr acknowledged his gratifica tion at the many kind things that have been said concerning the wish of so many people that he remain here, and confessed a great affection for the state, for the people her, and declared that the future of the entire Northwest Is secure and wonderful. Signal Men Are Few. After a number of conferences with various official representatives at the National capital and attendance upon the sessions of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Ex periment Stations, which held its an nual meeting in Washington, Dr. Kerr has returned to take up arWitional work, one feature of which Is connected In the most important manner possible with the war. Tl.ie is a scarcity of men for the radio and buzzer service of the Signal Corps and the War Department has de cided to ask for special courses of training to be installed in various In stitutions; Oregon Agricultural is one of these. Fifteen thousand men are wanted for this highly important emergency duty and Dr. Kerr told the officials of the War Department that Oregon will do its share in this as in every other feature of the present sit uation. The men are to be taken from the second and following drafts, it has been decided. While details have yet to be worked out, it is not unlikely that Dr. Kerr will decide to establish a branch here for this course and also at'the larger towns of the state, such as Salem. Eugene, etc., provided there is sufficient re sponse to make this worth while. " Course to Be Arranged. "What we must do," said Dr. Kerr, "is to make it possible for any man who wishes to take advantage of this radio course to do so at the least possible cost and inconvenience to himself. The Government has no fund for the pur pose, hence it was decided to ask the Agricultural Colleges to do the work where possible and we are going to do it. I shall go to work upon it im mediately upon my return home and shall, I hope, be able to make an an nouncement as to details soon. Mean while, anyone wishing to take the course, which will require a total of about 200 hours, should write the Ore gon Agricultural College, Corvallis, and their letters will receive prompt at While In Washington Dr. Kerr also nem conferences with the officials of the Department of Agriculture, with the result that it has been decided that the Bureau of Markets is to co-oper ate in one or tne most important fea tures of work ever undertaken by the Oregon Agricultural College. This has to do with the cold storage of eggs through chemical processes, there being an immense annual loss throughout the country due to something as yet undetermined. For some time Professor Beckwith, of the department of bacteriology of the college, and Professor Dryden, head of the poultry work, have been con ducting experimental work, but were handicapped through lack of funds and men. The Government will now pro vide both in such numbers and amounts as to make possible the execution of much work in this connection, so- that it is a matter of much encouragement here. Dr. Kerr declared this work to be of the first importance and, if eventually successful, said It will save a vast amount of. money and be of the greatest helpfulness In food conservation. Assistance is also to be furnished the college in its grain standard; the bulk handling of grain, etc., and two men will be provided to co-operate with the college staff in this work. "One thing which impressed me most profoundly," said Dr. Kerr, "is the great strides made by the country in war preparedness. While, of course, I -am not at liberty to disclose the In formation I gleaned while in Washing ton, I may say that I was amazed at the manner in which the war work is being conducted. The people may feel assured that President Wilson and those in authority are doing wonder ful things and the machinery Is going around splendidly." Dr. Kerr came through from Wash ington with but one day's stop In Denver. Patrons at the Seward are Mr. and Mrs. II. W. Iimer, of Huntington, who returned yesterday to Portland after a brief visit to Seattle. They leave on Friday for California and will proceed, after a visit in Los Angeles, which is Mr. Reimer's former home, to go as far east as Chicago on a pleasure trip ex tending over several months. They plan also to visit in Denver and Oma ha, both, the former home of Mrs. Jteimer, Women's Sweaters At $6.95 Second Floor Women's and Misses' Sweat ers in several attractive new styles just re ceived.

Inspector Says Indication. Are Winter Will Be Hard One for Yeiesrmen. SAN FRAXCISCO, Nov. 27. Warnings to "Hooverlze in the postof flee" as a protection measuiagalnst safe blow ers were made public today by Postof fice Inspector in Chargre S. ,H. Morse as a result of the reported arrest yester day at Long Beach. Cal.. of George Densmore, who was said to have con fessed to the commission of many post office robberies in Montana. Densmore's arrest, said Inspector Morse, probably thwarted the plans of an organized band of safe blowers to commit many robberies in Southern California. He was taken in custody by Inspector C. D. Lowe, who reported that he had found money and valua bles said to have been taken from the mails on Densmore's person. .Inspector Morse's warnings were: "Again the time is approaching when postof f ice burglars will. become active, but all signs indicate a hard Winter for yeggmen, for they can thrive only by lack of care on the part of the post masters. "Hooverize in the postoffice as well as in the home.. Take steps now to the end that no involuntary contributions of postage stamps or funds are made to burglars at your office. Any amount you lose during the war reduces the postoffice profits available for war purposes Just that much. "Remember that a quart of strong ammonia in the safe seems like the trenches in France to a burglar if the safe is blown. "Remember that it does no good to think of these things after your office has been robbed." Phone your want ads to The Orso nian. Main 7070, A 6095. .
