Poiham Buy.
Pelhiim Hay I* holding Its breath
nntl \vult in* for the utli catastrophe.
A'hat the catantrophe will bi no one
<l?i res prophesy, but that -'there will
be misfortune of some kind no one fa
miliar with the bay would doubt. For
tiu* bird .of in (mien Iiuh appeared
agnjti, aayV the New York Sun and
Globe. The Idrd la at). elderly and dis
gruntled sea gull which look* like a
croia betweeiitthakespeare's rolonlus
wild lve's raven.
It alts around on the rocka that dot
the bay and looks exceedingly elderly
and disgruntled and misanthropic and
ond nou*. If transmigration of soul*
happens In the bird world, the ore*>
ture la undoubtedly the raven or Polo*
nius or both. "Nevermore" la thial
bird's middle name and Its philosophy
of life.
Hungalowlsta around Pplham bay all
remember thf> extraordinary aeries of
fatalities tlmt occurred last summer
in the wake of the bird of ill omen. {!
wae nearly June of last1 year when
the bird first put in au appearance,
looking no leaa acidulous thun it does
today.
Hardly had the bird'rf peevish face
and gray-white feathers first been seen
than three fishermen upset their boat
One was drowned and the other two
wore pulled out barely conscious.
Two weeks later, while the evil eye
of the bird was atlll on the bay and its
inhabitants, came the great storm I
which will be remembered as long as
anybody Uvea who saw It or was
caught In it. ' < .
Then came the whale scare which
put a crimp in the long-distance swim
ming contests. And there came one
thing and another. A host of unklll
^able rats overran Chimneysweep
Islands, pride of the bay, A swimmer
was drowned within fifty yards of a
boathouse. The captain, most pictur
esque of MOO- pound men and one of
the historic figures of the bay, left It
flat and emigrated to the Bronx.
All because of the bird of III omen,
says the Bay. Not a doubt in the
WIM |Ut ?
When winter came Pelham Hay
hoped bird woukl go South and
forget to come back, but this dyspep
tic-looking granduncle all sea gulls
has an cnylnble memoix Here he la
again, and has been here since March.
Bungalowlsta of Pelham feel aure that
nothing else but that bird caused the ,
extremely cold spring ? perhaps even
caused t^ie sun to lose its three de
grees of heat or whatever the amount.
. The, bird doesn't cut up any antics, j
you. understand. He? the captain be
fore he debited Insisted it was she ?
Just sits on a rock, looking more like
an 111. otnen than anything you ever
saw. Pelham Bay la waiting with some
anxiety. AS long as the bird of ill
omen sticks around Tt believes with
aome reason that anything Is more
than lively to happen.

Over Roughest Roads
?. ' *
Like all Hupmobiles for 15
years, the new Hupmobile
is built of the finest mate
rials, and with the finest
workmanship. It is as strong
and staunch in every part,
and functions as near per
fection, as human pains
taking and ingenuity can
accomplish.
No matter how much more
you pay, you cannot buy a
a car that will give you
more reliability, longer life,
greater durability in every
part. The new Hupmobile
is deliberately built for the
roughest going. It is built
to stand up day after day
and year after year under
conditions that would soon
"kill" an average car.
This Hupmobile not only
gives the most trouble-free
service in day afte'- day
travef over the roughest
roads, but it carries its pas
sengers with delightful ease
and comfort.
Its performance is brilliant.
It will give you all the prac
tical advantages of aify car,
no matter how much higher
priced, ? plus a greater re- '
turn on your investment
in lower cost per mile. ,
If you desire a car for extra
hard service, or for only the
average amount of hard
service, you cannot with
sound economy afford any
car that is not built to the
highest standards.
On that basis, you can afford
the new Hupmobile ? and
you will find that it will
save you money every day.
you own it, and will com
mand a higher value when
you may desire to re-sell it.
