All the world is crying for automobiles
The demand cannot soon be filled.
Hudson, as the largest selling fine car,

choice. Only those who place their orders
in advance of their needs can be sure of get

Order Your Hudson Now
For Later Delivery
Buyers Know the Advantages Of Anticipating Their
Wants With This the Largest Selling Fine Car

Constantly for four years Super-Six sales
have exceeded those of any other fine car.
Buyers have had to wait month or more
during the selling seasons before they could
get delivery. On some models, at this writ
ing. we are far behind orders. Yet factory
production was never as large.
Thousands are driving less desirable cars
that were accepted because they could not
get delivery of Hudson. Many frankly ex-
press their regret that they had not ordered
Hudson early enough to assure delivery in
time to meet their needs.

So, Too, Is Its Style
Equally Distinct

The boulevards of the great cities show
what is most wanted in body lines and gen.
eral equipment. Can you find more beauti-
full cars anywhere than are the Hudsons?
They set the vogue. Hudsons forecast
the trend of motor car design. AS "a result a
one or two-year-old Hudson has the same
general lines as the current models of most
other makes.
There can be no disappointment over the
beauty of the Super-Six, regardless of the
model you select.

This Simp, however, has really some
thing to him, as he proves when he gets
an opportunity. The natives of the home
town, who predicted that he would never
amount to much, are forced to take back
their prophecies when he returns to the
town as millionaire. He puts up such a
big bluff that he not only wins their hom-
age but also really establishes himself in
business and gets nominated for Congress.

Annette Kellerman, FRIDAY

Annette Kellerman, champion SWIM
mer and favorite screen actress, is the
amphibious star of the William Fox
production, Queen of the Sea, y
which comes Friday. Miss Kellerman's
unique talents, both as a thespian and
natatorial artist, are we'll known to the
picture-loving public, from "a Daughte r
of the Gods" and other Aquatic produs :
tions. In "Queen of the Sea-" she plays
naiad in a submarine fairy story de-
signed to display her abilities as a SWIM
mer and high-diver in the most spectacu-
lar and sensational style.
The picture is packed with thrilling
stunts and dramatic situations, and the
hair-raising climax is a scene where Miss
kellerman, walking wire IS feet in the
air, is suddenly precipitated into the
water by the severing of the slender
strand.
Scenes for "Queen of the Sea" were
taken in Bar Harbor, Bermuda, Florida
and many other places. Also on Friday

He also urged the raising of more grains,
saying that the average Maine produc-
tion per acre was above that of almost
every State in the Union. The next
speaker was Mr.. DcForest H. Perkins,
formerly the secretary of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce. Mr.. Perkins
laid bare some unpleasant facts. Among
other things he said that at meeting of
some 1900 students in the Portland schools
the question was asked how many of them
intended to remain in the State after their
school life was ended, and 90 per cent of
them voted no. The question was then
asked how many would like to remain in
the State under business conditions as
good as in other States, and nearly every
one voted in favor of Maine. This, Mr..
| Perkins said, was what is the matter in
this State and the only remedy was to
make business better and more of it.
