NOTHING so surely emphasizes the
IN unique value that ChrySler go" offers
as the attempt to compare Chrysler "6O'
performance with that of the ordinary type
of six.
So clearly defined and obvious is the diff
ference in Chrysler 80" riding qualities
in speed and smoothness of operation, in
roadability and riding comfort, in pliability
of power, in response to accelerator and
steering wheel-the least experienced driver
cannot fail to class the 80" as immeasurably
ahead of all other cars anywhere near it
in price.
The difference is in creative engineering
in surement-manufacturing- in
short, in Chrysler Standardized Quality.

ENFORCE use OF ENGLISH,
S. A. SCHOOL HEAD ADVISES

AmericanizatiOn is not charity or pa
tronage, but an honest effort to OBJ
tain like-mindedness on the part Of
our population-to obtain mutual I'M
derstanding and trust. We shrould
not talk down to an intelligent for
eigner, neither should we attempt to
'uplift him."
Speaking of the needs of Americana
cation and of conditions in Texas Mr..
Johnston pointed out that in some Of
the foreign born communities in the
state, the languages and many Of the
customs of continental Europe still
predominant.
while it is true that many OF the
people in our foreign communities are
good American citizens" he said, yet
they would be better citizens if they
could read and speak English"
Suggesting a remedy for existing
conditions in Texas, Mr.. Johnston
quoted extracts from the recent state
school survey:
"Endeavor to bring about tighten
ing of our immigration laws along
the border" and "enlist the co-opera-
ton of the public schools of the state,
the business organizations and wo'
mems clubs in campaign of publici-
ty, and in an active and aggressive
program of night schools for adults
! and adult illiterates."

RAY LAMBERT
To COMPLETE
SPORTSMEN
r PARADISE
Park Commissioner Plans
10 New Baseball Fields =
VI by Summer. I

Commissioner Of Parks Ray Lam
bert is planning new park improve
ments to meet the growing needs Of
San Antonio sportsmen next summer.
The commissioner especially hopes to
increase the number of baseball dia.
monds.
Although the city now maintains
ten diamonds in the various parks for
independent baseball teams, Mr.. Lam
bert points out that he has calls for
twice this number every summer.
When teams want to reserve a dia-
mond. they can apply at his office or
telephone.
With several new parks being de-
veloped and improved, it is believed
the present number of diamonds can
be doubled. 1t is hoped that four eau
be laid off at the 13O0-acre tract be-
ing developed in Alamo Heights in
competition with the Olmos creek Ie-
tention dam project.
Commissioner Lambert also is plan
ming a diamond for Conception Park,
and one probably will be built in the
tract recently acquired for 4 park
in the Highland Park addition.
Baseball fields now are located in
Breckenridge, San Pedro and Pitt
mann-Sullivan Parks. Two outdoor
diamonds also are located at the
Lions Fairgrounds on Broadway ave-
nue., one in the Elmendorf Lake Park
and one near West End lake, Mr..
Lambert said. Although the commits
sioner has charge of the majority of
the diamonds, II. c. Oliver, supervisor
of Fairgrounds, supervises the two at
the Lions field.
Swimmers will have their seventh
pool next summer when the municipal
pool in Conception is completed.

fore the woman's club of this city, on
"Americanism and Citizenship"
"The child who enters life in this

handicapped. He suffers numerous
business disadvantages, and in the

Speaking on Americanization, Mr..
Johnston said there was a difference
between Americanization and citizen
shin. 1.-The former relates to immi-
grants and the latter to children" he
said. Citizenship has for its pur'
pose a program acquainting the young

IDEA FOR YOUNG MEN.

There is an idea in the oatmeal box
that should interest every young man
who aspircs to success. He must look
like he amounts to something va
man of good taste, ambition and spir-
it. This does not mean extravaganza
in dressing. The main thing for a
man is to be neatly dressed, not con-
spicuously, but simply and fashion
ably and then keep his clothes in good
order. The young man starting out in
the world today must market his abil-
ity. This is more easily accomplish
ed If his stock in trade is dressed up
in the right kind of package. Instinc-
lively we appraise men by what they
wear-ns If their clothes were their
personalities.
