America Will Send Min

By C. IV Willlaiiuoii
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON, April 11 (API
Many letters inquiring whether
dlplomutlo relations are to be re
sumed between the United States
und the vutlcan are being received
by the white house and the state
department from all sections of
the country.
Jn response to all of these letters
und to those Inquiring about the
American government's attitude in
the event the present concordut be
tween Italy and the. vutlcan, rec.
ognlslng the soverlgnly of the lat
ter state, is ratified, the stale de
partment sends a brief note In
forming the writers that the "ques

Had Representative Youru Aro
The United Htatea sent u diplo
matic representative to the Vati
can more than 80 years ago after
considerable debate In the senate
over the appropriation for hlu sal
ary. Those who supported the
proposal contended that the mln.
Ister to the pope would not be sent
In a spiritual churacter, but "to
evince sympathy with (he spirit
of freedom" which hud broken out
In Italy. . .
In h(n message lo congress in
18G9, President Grant said he had
been officially Informed of the an
nexation of the papal states by
Italy and the the United K tales,
had recognized the change In the
status of their soverlgnly. ' Since

RUN A BIG CAR IF YOU LIKE-
But A New For
By All
Means!
It is generally recognized as not only smart
style but smart business for the owners of big,
heavy cars to own a New Ford, too. If you can
afford the exjK-nse of the big car, yoti can't afford
to be without the added convenience, greater all
'round usefulness of a New Ford.
If your wife or members of the family drive,
think of tho times you or they are denied the en
joyment of a car by having.-only-one available, for
all purposes. ,
With your New Ford always ready to go, the
transportation requirements of your business need
not interfere with those of your family's sport or
social obligations. A car is at hand when you
need it and in this day of speed and many activi
ties, you must both work and play with the aid
of an automobile if you would stay abreast of tho
times.

The New Sport Roadster
638
The New Ford is the ideal companion for your
big car because of its greater utility and far
greater economy. Quick to start, quicker to get
under way, easier to put through traffic, easier
to park, faster and easier to drive over rough,
roads. '
For business, sports, or general family use the
New Ford meets an urgent need. While your bijr
car is especially expensive to operate on slioit
trips about town and over the valley, your New
Ford is gone and back with minimum oil and gas
consumption, lowest possible wear and tear.
Through rain in spring, heat in summer, cold
and snow in winter it goes with utmost conilos't.
.If mud-splattered or dust-covered it is quickly,
easily cleaned. Tires are inexpensive ' reprtir
costs are notably low. And what a pleasure it is
to own and drive!
