voy carrying reinforcements of
troops, tanks and materiel for the
axis army in North Africa.
In this one flash of triumphant
good news on a dark background,
the British Navy said "checkmate"
on a sea chessboard after the axis
had said CHECK" in successfully
sneaking three German armored
divisions and an infantry division
across the Sicilian Straits.
Whether the British can continue
to sink the axis conveys depends
largely upon whether Admiral Jean
Darlan puts the French fleet at the
Nazi's service. In that case the
British may lose the Mediterranean.
We know that the danger that Dar-
Ian will yield to German pressure
has never been so acute as now.
Points Out Lesson.
The fortunate British stroke in the
Straits only emphasizes the lesson
of how the sinking of a single con-
voy in the narrow part of one sea ap-
plies to all the worlds seas. No mat
ter what happens on the continent
of Europe, as long as we have su-
perior naval surface power, sufficient
auxiliary fighters and bombers, with
anti-aircraft gun protection, the big
guns of our battleships and cruisers
will be master wherever our fleet
moves, provided its line of COM
munication is secure.
No enemy can depend upon any
fifth columnist in our fleet What
happened to Yugoslavia amounts to
the same thing as though son of
our Pacific or New England coast
became lukewarm for sectional rea-
sons about working in the same
naval gun crew with son of the
South or Middle West.
Yugoslavias fate is the most
tragic example yet in fifth column
success in promoting lack of unity.
Though short of guns and tanks, this
did not quite explain how an army
which had l,8000 men fighting in
familiar mountain country was
forced to surrender within II days.
Reports show that the Germans had
long and insidiously nursed the ra-
cial antipathies of the nation which
was first called the Kingdom of
the CroatS, Serbs and Slovens, out
of respect for its component parts.

oWith q record of 147,000
miles Of continuous day and
night driving through the sands
OF Texas entirely free from

has completed one Of the most
gruelling tests ever imposed on
automobile mechanism.
Two Chrysler cars with Fluid
Drive have been operated for
the last year by Sears, Roebuck
and Company. of Chicago. in its
fleet ut San Antonio. Texas,
The purpose of this test fleet is
to determine the quality of tires,
engine oil, and spark plugs that
are merchandised by this great
company. Naturally driving
conditions are made as difficult
as possible in order that Sears
may have complete information
on the items being tested.
Cars are driven "a hours q
day every day in the year and
drivers are instructed to pun
ish them in order that the high
quality of the goods may be
determined beyond any chance
of error. The standard driving
speed Is 80 miles an hour, with
three drivers operating on eight
hour shifts to keep the cars con-
stantly on the tests. Expert
mechanics service the vehicles
at regular intervals.
L. A. Verne, superintendent
in charge of the test fleet re-
ports that no service was nee
essary on Fluid Drive during
$4,000 miles of operation, in
spite Of the continuous and var
led punishment given the cars.
Mrs. Verne also says that after
all this driving, the original
pistons fit within limits, q tribute
to the fine surface finish that
Chrysler Is able to achieve
through its Superfinishing proc
ess. Connecting rod bearings
are changed at 30,0 900 miles and
piston rings are replaced at S.
600 miles as . part Of the reg
ular procedure Of the tests.
Chrysler's reputation for long

is given credit by Sears, Roebuclk

tors that led to the selection Of
