Fishermen VIII Like This

Be sure that you have made
reservations in advance so that
you will be able to be among the
preferred few that stop at the
Ell Mirador, Acapulco. Mexico.
High on cliff overlooking the
Pacific, the Ell Mirador steps
down in series of small bunga-
lows, each having an unparal-
leled view OF the ocean. There
will be no doors in the doorWays,
nor any panes in the windows in
your bungalow, because for the
greater part of the year the tenn
perature varies from a low of rs
at night to high of IS in the
Gay time. Here you will sit in
the cantlna, or on the dining
porch, with the ocean roaring in
below, sending up spray that
lmpregnateS the air with some
thing that makes you feel better
and more relaxed the longer
you stay.
The sunsets are incompatible,
and here again the color film
will record memories that you
will cherish long after you have
departed. There are two excel
lent beaches in AcapulcO-One
patronized in the morning and
one in the afternoon-and then
when the moon is full travellers
and natives alike Join in a sue
cession of night bathing parties
that are like nothing you have
ever experienced this side of
Hawaii.
Acapulco is fiSherman's para
disc because it is acclaimed as
one of the finest spots for deep
sea fishing in the world, and
probably the finest for sailfsh-
ing. 1t is enough to say that no
one has successfully contradicted
the contention that the best deep
sea fishing is to be had in Aca-
pulcO, and that the smallest SAIL
fish caught in Acapulco is larger
than the record SaiiflSh caught
in Florida. It is an excellent spot
also for the fisherman who wishes
to cast or troll for various Spe-
cies weighing from five 10 fifteen
or twenty pounds, and this may
be done by going no farther than
half mile from the hotel. Motor
boats for deep sea fishing. with
a captain, engineer, and lookout,
can be secured as low as S175 an
hour. and poles and reels can be
rented for a very reasonable
amount. so 1t is not necessary to
take any deep sea equipment
with you.

answered a small apartment house

And it wasn't entirely because
Friday was Sonny's birthday and
the men at No 8 gave him a turkey

The reason Sonny is the luckiest

is that the alarm for that fire came
in just as Sonny, his parents, the 10
tiremen and several guests were
about to be served dessert.
To be exact the fire box was pulled
at SOP pm. AT Sol, Sonny, with
one puff, had eXtinguiShed y lighted
candles on his birthday cake, and
heaping piles of ice cream had
started moving in from the COM

Sonnys birthday and fellow has

it was up to him to keep the ice
cream from melting and flowing
over the table.
That is Just what happened. be-
