annual automobile show to be held
at the armory on Summer street in
February According to present in
dications the show will be bigger and
better than ever before. Some sur
prises viii be in store for those who
visit the building during the week Of
the exhibition. In talking with local
distributors ! have found out that all
have planned months in advance to
get the best possible model OF their
car or cars for the display All the
available space hes been sold. or con-
tracted for. pittsiield's first automo-
bile show was something for the city
to be proud OF, this one is going to be
even better. Dealers hardly had time
TO make adequate plans for last years
show. freight delays made shipping
risky. This year there has been plen-
ty of advance time, shipments are
com coming in good and there are
plenty of cars. The popular cars ex-
hibited last year viii be seen again
this year and there will be many new
ones.

HEAT MAKES BLUE BEAR BLUE.
Glacier Specimen Gets Warm Wei
come at Zoo,

How would you like to be a glacier bear
sightseeing in Washington right now?
If you think the heat is hard for you to
bear, how about that poor bear?
He's out at the Zoo, just arrived from
the snow and icebergs at Yakutat, Alaska.
He's pretty blue bear. He is the first
specimen of glacier bear-also known as
the blue bear--ha, ha--ever shown in a
zoo. Officials say he seems not to suffer
from the temperature and is in the best
of condition.
The new arrival is particularly active
animal and has been placed with a small
bear of the common black variety, with
which it is already on the best Of terms
The antics of these two young bears and
the peculiar celebration of the blue bear
are attracting much attention at the park
The specimen just received was obtained
for the National Zoo by Victor ]. Evans
of Washington, d. C. 1t is a young but
nearly full grown bear and was captured
as a small cub by Indians.
