Many states will launch comprehen sive highway beauMncauon program, Including new enabling leglblation. on the biwls of the recent decision Of the supreme court of Masfiachu- ett. which upheld the right or that state to '.egulale outdoor advertising within "public view." even on pri vate property, according to reports to the American Automobile associa tion. "The decision," baig Thoa. P. Henry Of Detroit, Mlrh., president of the national motoring body, "la a land mark In a controversy which has been conducted on many fronts and In many states for more than a dec ade." He contlniK-d: "If the Massachusetts decision Is sustained by the supreme court of the United States to which It Is now headed. It cannot fall to have far reaching effects on tho future of American highways. I' will certainly lead to new efforts to solve what Jias been an urgent problem for a Jong time, that Is, tho reconciliation of the Interests of commerce on tho one hand, and of safety, beauty, -and pleasurable travel on the other. The court decision, the AAA pointed out, was handed down as a result of fifteen suits In equity at tacking the validity of regulations drawn by the Miuwincusetle depart ment of public works under legisla tion drafted In conformity with a constitutional amendment which de clared that, "Advertising on public ways and on prlvato property within public view mny be regulated, and restricted by law." Traffic safety, the preservation of acenlc grandeur, pleasurable travel, maintenance of property values in residential areas, and tho securing of maximum benefits from public parks, were among the grounds on which the court upheld the regulatory pow rs of the state. Many contentions were advanced Sn the equity suits by the outdoor advertising companies, but the prin cipal challengo pertained to whether or not the state can, with constitu tional warrant, prescribe the uses to which a man may put his own land. On this point the Bay state tribunal asld: "The rlRht to own land and to uc t according to the owner's concep tion of prorit Is In the main a part Of the liberty secured to the indi vidual under the constitution; but that right Is subject to legislative (regulation in the public interest It held that in utilizing the high iraya for advertising, the companies Iwere not exercising a "natural right," pICTURKD above Is the now Ford do hixn Fordor sedan for 1935 which has Just been announced. The now Ford V-8 cars have new, mod ern body linos and a combination of engineering improvements giving greater ease of control and In creased riding comfort. These In elude relocation of the front spring and engine farther forward, and seating of the passengers between tho wheels and closer to the center of the car to provide Improved car weight balance and passenger weight distribution. Crankcase ven tilation has been added to the Ford V-8 engine, of which more than 1,300,000 are now on the road. but were "seizing for private bene fit an opportunity created for quite a different purpose by the expendi ture of public money In the con struction of public ways." In the decision, there was advanc ed ft sharp distinction as between outdoor and other forms of advertis ing as shown In the ; toll owing ex cerpts: , "In the case of newspapers and magazines, there muAt be some seek ing by the one who Is to see and read the advertisement. The radio can be turned off but not so the billboard." . . . "It is Illusory to suggest that a traveler upon the highway may close hts eyes and mind to the advertising matter thus displayed. This Is prac tically Impossible to the normsl per son. One cannot well travel upon the highway with any enjoyment or, with safety to himself or others with his eyes shut."

(AP University of Portland Is the new name for a long -established Institu tion of higher education Columbia university, situated in Portland near the mighty Columbia river. The change was made to avoid con fusion with Columbia university of New York and to closer identify the school with Portland. Father Joseph J. Boyle, C. S. C, Ph. D., president, announced tonight. Articles of re-Incorporation, con taining the new name, will be filed In Salem Monday. Father Boyle said. "Archbishop Christie, the great pio neer educator who founded the uni versity, chose the name, Columbia, In honor of the river that figures so prominently in the life and history of Oregon." explained Father Boyle. "while the school was only a col lege preparatory, the name was emi nently appropriate. But when tha school became a university, an awk ward situation was created because of the existence of Columbia university of New York." The desire to choose for the school a name which "would forever link It with the beautiful city of roses," predisposed the board of trustees to select the University of Portland over three other suggested Dames, the for mal statement said.

ALL TIRES MOUNTED FREE ASK ABOUT WARDS CONVENIENT TERMS Watch the Fords Go By rive Thousand More Since Yesterday" Every working day, more than five thousand New Ford V-8's roll off the assembly line and into the service of Ford owners. It has been a long time since people have taken to a new car the way they have taken to the New Ford V-8. Ford production in January was up wards of 100,000 units. For February it is set at 130,000. There haven't been fig ures like that since 1930. That means jobs and wages for increas ing thousands of automobile workers. Ford employment in the United States is more than 114,000 over 74,000 at Dearborn and 40,000 in Ford plants throughout the country. This activity reaches out to many hun dreds of thousands of men in allied in dustries. They are busy when Ford is busy. The story of the Ford V- 8 is one of prog ress. Before it came along the V-8 cylinder engine was always associated with high price. It was beyond the reach of the average motorist The Ford Motor Company believed thU was "the coming car for the majority of drivers." It set to work to build it at low cost. When you give the people some thing better there's never any question about sales. It is interesting to note that more than 1,400,000 Ford V-8 cars and trucks have been built in the last three years. Each year has seen a sharp increase the V-8 pro duction in 1934 being approximately 103' ahead of 1933. More important than sales, however, U service to owners. What the car does on the road is what counts. Actual use is the true test of an automobile. It has proved that the Ford V-8 engine has distinct ad vantages in performance and that it is economical too. Fact is, the Ford V-8 costs less per mile than any other Ford ever built. Cost records of owners show that to be so. Ford Motor Company See the New 1 935 Ford V-8 at C. E. GATES AUTO CO. 117 SOUTH CENTRAL YOUR FORD DEALER Phone 141 TELEPHONE 280 Sixth and Riverside
