"I speak to you in a crisis of the

nation, and the warning I utter has
been made necessary by what took
place yesterday and today. Yesterday
morning, a student in the junior class
enlisted as a private In the United
States regular army. Far be it from
inc to deplore his course in so doing;
he spoke to me abotit it, and in such a
way that I felt I had no right to dis
suade him. I told him that It would
be preferable for college men to wait
until they could go as officers, and,
aslile from the fact of a greater pres
tige, I urged that men of educntion
cold periips be iore useful in that
capacity, lie replied that if he were
useful enough as a private at conmis

AN EXAMPLE OF GOODYEAR VALUE
The 30 x 3K Goodyear Cross Rib Tire
shown here alongside its companion, the
30.x 3K Goodyear All -Weather Tread
Clincher, is a conspicuous example of
Goodyear value.
The Goodyear Cross Rib has in it the
same high grade Egyptian cotton fabric
that goes into the Al-Weather Tread
Goodyear.
It has a differently designed but long
wearing tread, and it sells for considerably
less money.
In the past five years more than 5,000,000
of these Goodyear Cross Rib Tires have
been sold.
They have everywhere given remarkable
service.
Their fine performance and known value
have convinced thousands of motorists of
the folly of buying unknown and unguar
anteed tires of lower price.
Ask your Goodyear Service Station Dealer
to explain their advantages.
