We've put one over on the yardsticks
Here are four new additions to the
BUICK SPECIAL Line that Compact
Motorcar Bigness into Handy Size
Buick Special 4-door
Sedan, model 47, SI021.*
FJTAime was when you measured
|_ a car’s ability and standing
by the yardstick distance from
bumper to bumper.
But not any more — not since
Buick macje ready the four new
additions to its 1941 Special series
that are built for big-car travel
tastes — and small-car garages!
They are cars with room for all
the family, with all the little Buick
luxury touches, with the unrivaled
comfort of Buick’s all-coil spring-
ing and steady-going roadability.
But bumper to bumper they are
shorter — so they fit your garage.
Their wheelbase is 118 inches, so
they park like a bicycle and flit
through traffic with ridiculous ease.
They go farther on every gallon—
farther, even, than other Buicks.
_____- alight extra cost and horse*
gasoline mileage goes even higher.
So you can’t take their measure
with a yardstick. __
You’ve got to measure them by
what they do for you—in the easier
handling, the bigger thrill, the extra
convenience they add — and by
prices made lower by their new
compactness.
How about seeing them — now?

Jesus Teaches Forgiveness and Gratitude
HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
(The International Uniform
Lesson on the above topic for
Feb. 16 is Luke 17. the Golden
Text being Ephesians 4:32, "Be ye
kind one to another, tenderheart-
ed, forgiving each other, even as
God also in Christ forgave you.”)
FORGIVENESS and gratitude
—they are two often neglected
virtues, but which our Lord Jesus
thought important enough to
make prominent in His teachings.
The chapter commences by
Jesus saying that “It is impossi-
ble, but that offences will come:
but woe unto him through whom
they come!”
In other words, those who
tempt others to do wrong, are
.worse than the wrongdoers. Woe
to them! They will surely suffer
for making others to stumble. We
all know' how hard it is to resist
temptation when a dear friend
asks us to do something we know
is wrong. That is one lesson for
us to learn, and learn well—never
tempt others to do what we know
would be wrong for them to do.
The lesson of forgiveness Jesus
illustrates by saying that if a
brother—by which he means any-
one connected with us, relative,
friend <fr acquaintance—offends or
THE TRAGEDY OF ITALY
Nothing Is easier (or more des-
picable) than to kick a man when
he Is down. It is easy, at long
range, to administer a verbal kick-
ing to the Italian people, espec-
ially now that their armies have
taken such a literal kicking around
in Albania, in Libya and in Ethio-
pia.
It is unjust, however, to use these
failures as a blanket indictment of
the Italian people, and especially to
allow it to reflect on Americans of
Italian descent. It is the strutting,
bombasic, truculent leadership that
has fastened itself on Italy that
must bear the blame.
There is nothing wrong with
Italians as such. They did all right
when they were kicking Radetzky
out of Milan a hundred years ago,
and Garibaldi’s redshirts and Maz-
zini’s legions were the admiration
of the world when they made their
gallant but hopeless resistance to
the Austrians.
But they were fighting to defend
their country, fighting for freedom.
And that makes all the difference.
People who like to bring up Cap-
oretto forget the Piave and the
fact that Italy, almost knocked out,
rose again and delivered a knook-
out blow against the Austrian!,
losing 600,000 dead and a million
wounded. But again, Italian sol-
diers were throwing Austrian in-
vaders out of northern Italy. They
were willing to fight and to die
for that, and for the bright dream
of freedom promised by their allies.
Since that time, Italian military
exploits have not been so brilliant.
Sent to the plague-ridden, God-for-
saken wastes of Ethiopia to con-
quer a savage land for no reason
that they could see, they were not
impressive. Sent to Spain to take
a hand in a civil war in which they
were not interested, Guadalajara
was the result. And now in Alban-
ia, where they know they have no
business to be in the first place;
in Libya, where they have resolute-
ly refused to go as "colonists,” and
in Ethiopia, where the young Nea-
politans look at one another and
ask “Why?” — they surrender in
droves rather than die. For what?
For the ambitions of a renegade
socialist in a movie-doorman's uni-
form who tells them “Don’t ask
why. Go and die. I am always
trespasses against us. we may re-
buke him. not because of our feel-
ings, .but because It is proper tnat
he should be shown where he is
in the wrong. If such a person
should repent and say he is sorry,
we should Immediately say we
forgive him; yea, even if he
transgress seven times, but each
time be sorry, we should for-
give that many times. And if
we forgive. It should not be a lip
forgiveness, while we cherish dis-
like and resentment. True forgive-
ness means we will forget the in-
cident els well as say we forgive.
Increase Our Faith
/"Lord, increase our fEdth," the
apostles asked their Master. Jesus
asked them how they would act if
a-servant came from working in
the fields. Would they tell him to
go and eat, or would they not
rather tell him to serve them and,
after they had eaten, the servant
would have his meal ? . *j>
'■The servant was paid to serve
the master, Ernd he should not,
therefore, take any credit to him-
self for his service. Likewise,
when the apostles did their duty
to God, they should not take
credit for that, but should think
of themselves as only doing their
duty. "We are unprofitable serv-
ants: we have done that which
weis our duty to do.’\
Jesus was on His way to Jeru-
salem, and as He entered a certain
village, there met Him ten men
who were lepers. They cried to
Him. "Jesus, Master, have mercy
upon us.” "Go shew yourselves to
the priests,” Jesus answered, and
as they obeyed Him. they were
made, clean. Did all thank Him and
glorify God? No. only one of the
ten. He came back to Jesus and.
with a loud voice, glorified God,
falling on his face at His feet—
and he was a Samaritan. "Were
there not ten cleansed?” asked
Jesus. “Where are the other
nine?" And to the man He said.
This Little Pig Went to War
"Go thy way: thy faith hath made
thee whole.”
How many people have been
hurt by those whom they have
helped in time of need. Gratitude
implies that we are under obliga-
tion to someone, of course, but
surely, when we have had kind-
nesses shown to us, it is not only
right, but a privilege, to keep it
in mind and show that we are
grateful.
The Pharisees demanded to
know when they might expect the
kingdom of God to come. They
were not looking for a spiritual
kingdom, but one in which the
Jews should be liberated from the
yoke of the Romans and should
set up their own kingdom with a
Messiah as king. The kingdom of
God. said Jesua. is not here nor
there, for "behold, the kingdom of
God is within you.”
Those Pharisees had the king-
dom of God right with them, if
they had but known. But they
were blinded by the things of the
earth. They could not see the
truth and so they lost their op-
portunity.
Turning to His disciples He told
them that before the kingdom ol
God could come, His Son must
“suffer many things, and be reject-
ed of this generation." As it was
in the days of Noah. People went
about their business of living—
"they did eat, they drank, they
married wives, they were given in
marriage, until the day that Noah
entered the ark, and the flood
came, and destroyed them all.”
It was the same in the days
of Lot When he went out of
Sodom, the city was destroyed
The .things of the world absorbed
them, and they dould not see the
spiritual truths that would have
saved them.
"Whosoever shall seek to save
his life shall lose it; Ernd whoso-
ever shall lose his tife shall pre-
serve it.”
The Lord expects His followers
to be "kind to one to another, ten-
derhearted, forgiving each other
even as God also in Christ for-
gave you.” Then indeed, the King-
dom of God will be within us. and
we need "fear no evil."

MR. CHURCHILL’S
SPEECH
Among current world statesmen
Prime Minister Churchill stands
forth as a man whose veracity has
been unassailable. He bitterly
fought the British appeasers for
years, warning them of the aggres-
sion that would follow, and he has
never concealed from the British
people the ordeals of war that lay
ahead for them.
This reputation of Mr. Churchill
for stating facts is corroborative of . gossiping,
the Prime Minister’s assurance that I Weighs 128 pounds
Here’s The Average Woman;
Author Thinks
He Has Fairer
Sex Classified
Someone is always figuring out
statistics on something or other, so
now Bruce Cole comes along with
his findings on what makes an av-
erage woman. Here are the details:
The Average Woman—
Marries at the age of 24.
Quarrels at least twice a month
with her husband.
Has a baby weighing 714 pounds.
Spends four years washing dish-
es.
Is five feet four inches tall.
Spends 8784 hours (five years)
Britain needs war supplies, not
men, of the United States. As ad-
ditional support for that promise,
there are about 4,000,000 armed men
in the British Isles and a wealth
of Australian and other manpower
In Africa sufficient to rout the
Fascist forces there. It is no more
than fair to ask that opponents of
aid to Britain bring testimony as
dependable as Mr. Churchill’s as-
surances, which are backed by cir-
cumstanstial evidence. Hearsay and
opinions of isolationists are weak
“testimony.”
Britain’s present position is
strengthened by the collapse of
Fascist resistance in Africa. Mr,
Churchill's surprising revelation
that Germany Is secretly moving
into Bulgaria means that Hitler is
extending further his military re-
sources, which diminishes the pow-
er he will be able throw against
the British Isles. According to Mr.
Churchill, Germany is making the
same mistake that Japan has com-
mitted—expanding her lines toward
the point of ineffectiveness.
This blunder, despite its ruinous
effect upon aggressors, grows out of
the Nazi obsession for action and
movement. The German people
must be kept constantly on the
march, as they have been in pa-
rades since Hitler’s rise to power.
There must be a continual grab of
loto, trophies of conquest, to keep
up German morale. Movement
techniques are necessary, even at
the cost of weakening Nazi offen-
sive power against the British Isles.
Hitler must prevent the German
people from becoming war weary
until she be-
comes careless about her figure.
Spends $312 in beauty parlors
and $387 on drugstore cosmetics.
Attends 3027 movie matinees,
many of them double features.
Threatens at least eight times to
go home to mother — but never
does.
Spends three years and eight
months talking on the telephone.
Never learns to play a golf game
that satisfies her husband.
Listens to 18 radio serials each
week.
Is positive that her child is bet-
ter than that brat next door.
Buys 369 hats and 582 dresses.
Devotes the best seven years of
her life to attempting to make her
husband over—without success.
Ruins three fenders on the car
and tears off one garage door.
Occasionally wishes she’d mar-
ried someone else.
Lives five years longer than her
husband.
Darns 4827 pairs of socks.
Never learns to drive a nail with-
out hitting her thumb.
And makes a darn good wife In
spite of it all.

New Assignments Of NY A
Youth For Duncan Field
Work Has Been Scheduled
AUSTIN, February 13 — Assign-
ment of a new group of one hun-
dred youth to the NYA air mech-
anics resident center near the
Duncan Field Air Depot, San An-
tonio, will be made beginning
March 2, J. C. Kellam, state NYA
administrator, said today.
Assignment to the center Is foe
a six-months’ period, during which
time the youth work 44 hours
weekly in the division of the Dun-
can Field airplane mechanics shop
for which it is felt they are best
fitted.
Unemploye, out-of-school youth
eligible for NYA employment will
be selected on the basis of general
all-around applications and mech-
anical ability. Youth desiring to
make application should write to
the NYA State Office, Austin, or
to a local NYA area director.
No flying instruction is offered
the youth on the project.
In addition to the work exper-
ience gained in the repair, con-
struction and maintenance of air-
planes and airplane engines, the
youth attend classes 12 hours week-
ly after regular work hours. These
classes are taught by teachers fur-
nished by the San Antonio Public
Schools and the Trade and Indus-
trial Division of the State Depart-
ment of Education.
Approximately two thousand me-
chanics at the Depot repair all Ar-
my planes in the 8th Corps Area,
and it is in the Depot shops that
the NYA boys receive their work
experience. The U. S. Army Air
Corps sponsors the project.

lege furnished 2200 officers for the
World War in 1917-18. Since that
time 4600 have obtained reserve
commissions and 450 more will be
granted next June.
For the present National Defense
program the college is taking a
leading role. Its president, Dr.
Thomas Otto Walton Is a member
of the steering committee, repre-
senting the Southwest, on the com-
mittee for Education in National
