PRESIDENT "Twenty-five Tears Distinguished Service" Is the title of an Interest ing article about President W. J. Kerr of Oregon State college, which appeared in a recent Issue of the Pacific Coast Review, a business re view for business men. The story, which was written be fore the controversy concerning Ore gisi State college and the University of Oregon flared, tells of the devel opment of the school since 1007-1908 when President Kerr was at the head. When he became leader of the In stitution, the attendance was 833 students, and at the present time the enrollment reaches 6570. The article states that "he came to Ore gon with an exalted and aggressive Idea of the character and functions of a land-grant college. He conceiv ed It as an Instrument of service to the entire commonwealth.' Under his regime the work of re search In the agricultural experiment station has been carried out with the establishment of eight branch stations. The progress In all departments of the school, which has been balanced by the president's efforts and ar rangement of curricula, has been ev ident during the 23-year period. Edwin T. Reed, who wrote the article, says: "If, as Emerson once wrote, 'an Institution Is the length ening shadow of one man,' then Ore gon State college can be accurately mapped by the silhouette of ,W. J.

They made smooth, gentle landings on plowed ground, swamp land, sand or snow where planes never dared to land before. They tooh the threat out ot tricky cross - wind landings by absorbing side-stray. They gave new softness to landings and take-offs at ex press train speed. They put new power In brakes. A'oir Goodyear pioneers these super-soft tires for cars. Hi .ere is bad news for bumpy- roads. Here is a tire that rolls over them as nonchalantly as if they were million dollar highways. Its name is Goodyear Airwheel, and it's so downright handsome that a lot of people will want a set of these tires just for the style and swank they can add to cars. But that's only chapter 1, page 1, in the story of what they mean to motoring. Because they flow over bumps on twelve to sixteen pounds of air, they save you and your car from the jolts you get even from average balloons. Because they absorb side -swing and take up side-sway, you'll find that they take curves with new security. Because they put more of the All Weather Tread against the road, they make the world's best-known safety tread safer than ever. Because they're light-running and easy-rolling, they need no more gasoline than any other tires, and they make no difference in speed or steering. Because they've been fully' tested on the world's greatest test fleet, we can tell you that they matched the top mileage of balloon tires on test cars run on day-and-night schedules. Here's the kind of tire thst is waiting for too sow at yoar Goodyear dealer's. He can show Too fire sims. The biggest, softest) most speeraaila. it the 9.00-13.
