Automobiles Do Not Differ
So Much From Men

Acknowledgement of them-do not differ
greatly from men. Most men are capable of
strenuous physical endeayor-n their youth At
that period of life strain of severe work bothers
them. No tense pressure weakens them.
But in after years-the slightest unusual task,
the veriest physical endeayor implies through sig
ni6cant warnings, go slow-be careful"
You have seen a man as young as forty
putting hbOriOusy after sprint to catch train.
Or you have seen him, stout, iH-cOnditioned and
helpless, making no effort to catch the train at all
There are men of whom this is not true, men
who, preserved, strong, retain their efficiency al
through life.
And there are automobiles just like men
some Of them-gOing along year after year, chang
ing only in appearance. little paint scraped
here, dent in the rear fender and the woodwork
a little worn. But in their daily work strong and
efficient.
When you have the young salesman take you
out in the new Hupmobile, do not live in the pres
ent. Live in future years. Imagine the paint
little worn, the tires not so new, the upholstery
shiny and soft from much use
And when the HupmobiIe demonstrates il,
unsurpassed climbing ability on the eity's stespest
bills, its ample speed of 6fty-6ve miles an hour,
its capacity to throttle down to a walking pace;
when you have been assured by other Hupmobile
owners that it is remarkably economical car to
maintain-THlNK This is my car FIVE, six, seven,
eight years from now. 1t needs new top and
coat of paint would brighten il. And guess that
front right tire Is about through But the little old
bus is pretty nearly as powerful and speedy and
economical as she was in the beginning"

LONDON, March Further evi
dence intended to prove that the
American registered ships Kankakee

PRACTICED BOXING ON WIFE
She Tires Of RehearsIng With Hus-
band Before Bouts.

NEW YORK, March THE lure
OF the rosined ring has no attraction
for Mrs. Susan Poverono of 554 East
Sixtieth street, even though her hus-
band, Michael, now engaged in pre-
liminary boxing bouts, thinks there
is a big future in it for him.
Mrs. Poyerono complained to Mag
istrate Cornell in the domestic rela-
tions court yesterday that until six
months ago her home life was happy;
her husband got $l5 a week in a
laundry and both loved their baby.
Then he got the idea he could make
a better living as a prizefighter. He
got engagements, and before each
match he insisted that his wife serve
as his sparring partner.
She testified she did not believe he
meant to hurt her. but simply prac-
ticed on her the blows he meant to
inflict upon his opponent in the ring,
provided his opponent had as little
skill on defense as had Mrs. Power
ono.
PoVerono, who fights under anoth-
er name, told the court he thought
there. was a great future ahead Of
ring, but he was willing to give II
up and return to the laundry IL his
wife would return with the baby to
his home. She refused to do so, so
Magistrate Cornell ordered Poverono
to pay her S5 a week for the support
OF the baby.

RICH SALVAGE IN OIL
Seventeen Hundred Barrels Roll OF
Boat Into River.

PHILADELPHIA. March 7.-Seven-
teen hundred barrels of oil. bobbing
up and down with the tide on the
Delaware river. gave boatmen a day
OF profitable fishing in the general
latitude and longitude of the Wash
ington avenue piers.
1t happened that the Atlantic Re-
fining Company's lighter. No. 73,
moored alongside the French steamship
Mont Pelvoux, was waiting to load
the oil on the steamship. A rail- on
the port side of the lighter gave way
and the barrels of oil started to roll
into the river.
Before the avalanche on this side of
the lighter could be checked. another
rail on the starboard side broke, and
barrels rolled in both directions. The
barrels bobbed and fioated with the
tide. some of them heading for New
Jersey, others for the bay. BOatmen
swarmed the river all day claiming
the salvage.
