HOW THE BEVERLYGIRLS; CARRIED ON ' ® ' * 1#* PANNIE HURST lid by McCiure Newspawr (WNU Service. > T1 : HE exterior of the Beverly mansion was one of solid and stolid magnificence. It was a double house, red brick, Georgian, with a beautiful example of fan-light over the white doorway and a side "garden that was walled In by red brick overgrown "with Ivy to about the height of a man. • The street oh which stood the Beverly mansion was also one of rather •olid and stolid magnificence, old families in old homes, whose children and grandchildren, aud in one or two instances, great-grandchildren, had, beet* borri under the same roof; ' I; ; It was the sort of street from*which the closed carriage and the pair of spanking bay horses had departed re^ luctantly, as it gave way to the automobile. It was as if the double row of locust trees which shaded It, had attempted to form a barricade, shielding the quiet' avenue from the ehcroachlpg glare ahd hurry of the growing city. The Beverly sisters, Linda and Wanda, had been born in the -house they occupied. They were an example of great-grandchildren having been born foto the same house that had been occupied by their forebearers. It was a quiet, austere household now, the entire lineage including the girls* parents, having died out. There were only the two of them now, pale-haired, pale-eyed, rather pale-mannered girls, wtih the slender wrists and ankles that bespoke good stock, and the repressed and careful bearings that bespoke good breeding. ; There was a portrait of the two girls, done fifteen years before when they had been fourteen and fifteen, septed^ on a stone garden bench, a small lap dog between them. It had been painted during the last year of their .parents' lives and an effective pair the girls presented. It is true that the bill for that painting still continued to come at regular intervals, even during the fifth year following the death of the paternal Beverly. But then, so many bills continued, to arrive at all too close Intervals. What had happened was the not unusual predicament of the heirs to a supposedly large fortune, finding that their inheritance had been a myth. Except for the elaborate home in which they continued to dwell, by untold scrimping and sacrifice, the Beverly girls were practically penniless. It was a cruel fight to keep up appearances in that toplofty looking mansion. TJiere were no servants, not even a gardener. It was inevitable, of course, that people should know that the Beverly girls had not Inherited the large fortune that had been expected. But no one in town, and miraculously no one on that pretentious street, knew to what extent these two girls Rjecretly struggled to keep up the pretense of even semi-affluence. One by one, certain art objects of value-had disappeared from the house; paintings, silver, ivories and bronzes.

Under cover of darkness one could wash windows, scrub steps, scour the beautiful fan-light over the entrance, weed and spade and dig in the garden. The Beverly girls were workers, all right;,they beat rugs out of windows, oainted cornices, and even, one spring, painted the entire length of pergolas and trellises in the garden without ever being detected in the act of manual labor. The degree to which they were oVdfashioned and pathetically sn,obbish, never dawned upon these two girls. They had been bred in an atmosphere of artificial gentility. They knew no other standards. There was one annual ritual, how ever, which amounted almost to a leg end, which girls performed at any sacrifice. It usually meant long, weary hours of needlework, which they secretly sold to the Woman's ex change, and the sacrifice of more ob Jects of value fronithe household, but every spring, come what might, regu lar a8 clockiv<irk; tbe-gij;l8 added a bit to their lovely: rock garden,- anil called in the services of landscape gardeners for the extension. The Beverly rock garden was known as the finest in the state. On those rare occasions when the Beverly gfrl had guests, they served them tea in ,lt, as their parents aud grandparents and great-grandparents had done before them. It was the one luxury in their lives and It cost them dearly It may tax the credulities, but it is actually a fact that many a night the Beverly girls, after they had concluded • their day's work in the darkness, went to bed hungry. But In all the lean years, the rock garden never suffered liew and precious species of roses ' climbed its walls each year. Orchi •daceous plants especially imported thrived ta , Its crevices. What Ironical' situation It was! The pair of pale, rather pretty girls, going to bed to sleep off hunger, while u their very windows, rare and beautiful plants ahd flowers, were manufacturing perfumes. t •One year, however, the rook garden accomplished the miracle pf actually bringing Into the empty coffers of the Beverly girls a little income. The landscape gardeners, in reality a struggling young farmer and his brother, who had taken up this work as a side line, and whose services came cheap, proud of their results, had succeeded in Interesting the editor of A garden magazine. The Beverly girls receive& the sum of one hundred dollars for permitting photographers to take pictures which were ultimately to1 fee published ;ln .a magazine. It was frart of the conservatism In which these girls had been born and bred, that their sensitive natures should shrink from even this vicarious publicity, but the young farmer huskies, local boys with ambition, were eagerly insistent and the prospect of the one hundred dollars so welcome, that finally they gave In. The beautiful rock garden of the Beverly mansion was published far fend wide, guests came to drop in more frequently after that for the privilege of taking tea to the sound of the little waterfalls and for the lovely perfume pf roses and magnolias. Indeed, as the girls whispered ruefully to one another in the secret reaches of their room, practically all of the one hundred dollars had gone in meeting social. expenditures that had come with the public celebration of their garden. The Beverly girls, as the years marched on, were growing tired; bonetired, heart-tired, soul-tired. The" struggle was too much. It was one thing to walk out every afternoon as they did, down the broad, beautifullyscoured, front-stone-steps and along the quiet lane of their sedate avenue, and out into the city, -where they were known and respected as the "Beverly girls." It was quite another matter to creep back into that cold, bleak house of empty larders, servantless servant quarters, flreless fireplaces, climb into scrubbing clothes, scour into midnight and then creep hungrily, as often as not, into beds whose sheets and pillow cases had been washed and Ironed by the girls themselves. One day something really quite thrilling occurred. The mayor of the town approached the sisters, requesting that on the city's birthday, when a great local celebration was to be staged, they throw their beautiful garden open to the public. The city would insure them against damage, and since the old Beverly mansion was really ope of the landmarks of the community, ' It seemed fitting that on this anniversary occasion, its famous gardens should be open to the citizens. It was a tribute both to the social position of the Beverly girls and to the lovely old mansion itself. The sisters were moved and, impressed and gladly consented to the,, undejtaking. Consequently, part of the elaborate festTvT" ties of the birthday celebration of the city , was the free inspection of the Beverly rock gardens. Men, women and children filed through the gardefis by the thousands, all during the day. Refreshments, served by the city, were to be had In the beautifully painted pergolas. Sun danced on the flanks of the darting, goldfish in the Beverly ponds. The' pppulace applauded the scene of idyllic loveliness. It was remarked, however, that the Beverly sisters were not among those present on that day. The house stood open, inviting those who would, to enter, but somehow, it was not the sort of Interior to beckon. There was something cold, austere and homeless about the Inside of the Beverly mansion. It seemed more, of a relic, a historic place, than a hbine. » No, the Beverly girls were not present. This is where they were: They were off in a neighboring town called Andulsla, In the act of being married to the farmer brothers who were their landscape gardeners. The Beverly girls never returned to the Beverly mansion. They presented it to thfe city. < - ' tfo longer do they have to creep back into a cold, bleak house of empty larders and tireless fireplaces; their dew home is no relic, no historic place, but5 a house of cheer and hopes and plans for the future. No mofe do the sisters walk out In the afternoon along quiet lanes and sedate avenues to benodded to and pointed out as the strange and respected "Beverly girls." The days of converting precious old art objects into money are gone; the struggle of' secretly laboring under cover of darkness, washing windows, .scrubbing steps, weeding and spading, is done. The Beverly girls are farmers' wives. They live on a truck farm five miles outside the city limits. Their rock garden now is a truck garden. They still scour and sweep and dust and clean, but out In the opejursunlight now, through long, busy days that are happy days; ; „ Y SEES SIGNS, BANKERS TOLD Lcadinf Automobile Unit Ex- ~ pfcti to Employ More Men " This Winter Than Last riishingi(m Letter > - A I.t-V ^ x' --By--« National Editorial Association MOTOR SUPPLY IN HANDS OF PUBLIC FALLING OFF Twelve Million Year* Less Transportation an Nation's Car Inventory Than Considered Normal, Manufacturer Tells- Financiers ESTIMATING that transportation. In the form of automobiles now in the hands of the American public is twelve million "car-years" below normal, and that this deficit will eventually have to ba made up, Richard H.^ Grant, vice president of the General" Motors Corporation, recently told the American, Bankers Association ' convention that employment In his company, may be greater this winter than last year. "Employment during the winter months is s very important thing,"' Mr. Grant said, "So far as cur •corporation is concerned, in November, December, January and P'ebruary we will be employing at least as many and probably more pien than we did this past year." In order to gauge'the outlook for next year's market his corporation, he said, attempts to set up sales indices based on Intensive scientific studies in addition to observation and common sense. 'We are in the habit of looking upon an automobile not merely as an automobile but as transporation," he said. "We figure each automobile produced as six years of transportation. Then by following up records of production yearly, we get a graph which indicates what ought to be a normal inventory of transportation In the hands of the American people, and whether there are more or less miles than might be expected. According to our figures, there are about twelve million years less transportation in this inventory at the present time than has been considered normal sine* 1925. " * Decorative Symbols The dove and the star have been used in church decoration and architecture from a very early period, and their symbolism may be variously interpreted, according to the conception of the artists. The dove represents the new principle of Christianity--its two wings the love of man and the love of God, compassion and contemplation, or active and meditative life. It also stands for the Holy Ghost and the soul. The radiation star is the star of Bethlehem and therefore Tpresents Jesus Christ. Stars without the rays are often used to represent the saints. The Outlook for Bu'siness Consequently, if we retain the same purchasing power in this country, it is quite evident that on the first upturn of business there will be a rush to replace that inventory. In developing this graph, it has come out very strongly that every third year is a big automobile year. The biggest automobile year was 1929 when 4,100,- 000 cars were produced for American consumption. This year the industry will produce somewhere between 1,- 800,000 and 1,900,000 cars. As 1932 Is three years after 1929, if economic conditions were normal we could be sure we would do a tremendous business, because the third year is the time when the bulk of the replacing takes place." He added that there are factors at work that make it uncertain how big the year will be, instancing that money is being hoarded from lack of confldenec and this takes away some purchasing power that we would otherwise have, while family budgets are being cut on account of changes in income conditions, which again means that purchasing power for the automobile, like a good many other thipgs, will be. knocked down." As a result, he said, it was necessary to measure what statistically would be a big year against a practical con sideration of the curtailment of expenditures which is going on and determine how big thfc year will be under these circumstances. "From a long haul standpoint, regardless of how many automobiles art .sold in 1932, we are storing up a big business for the future," Mr. Grant said. "There will be fewer automobiles sold In 1931 than will go to the scrap heap. With 12,000,000 , car-years out of the inventory, nine percent more gasoline was used up to August 1, 1931, than was used in 1930. With fewer automobiles, the people must have been running them faster and longer to consume tlie additional gasoline. This means that we have some 22,000,000 people working hard to make a fine business for aur industry when there is an economic recovery. No False Optimism "I am not attempting to create any false optimism--I am not speaking without a statistical background. Using the best sense we can, we have drawn conclusions from the figures we have, and 1 am willing to make the statement that as far as the conduct of our business for the first half of 1932 Is concerned, we shall set the indices somewhat higher than the actualities of 1931. We are willing to set our advertising budgets and our selling expense on that kind of indices. With economic conditions as they are, ana since the obsolescence is so great and we have sunk so low in this year's sales, we figure that the first half of 1932 must necessarily be bettor titan was the first half of 1931." Washington, Nov. 11--No distressedfamily served with dispossession papers ever worried more than broodjtag Republican chairmen ©f House committees. The latest count of noses at the Capitol shows that'the Democrats will take over the management of the House of Representatives. This eviction of Republicans after ten years' control of the "majority" means a complete change in privileges. Legislators of the Democratic faith who have been cooped up in single offices will have their choice of improved office quarters. In cases where chairmanships are involved the change •will bring luxurious office suites and numerous attendants at their beck and call. The laymen here are Irazsled at the reluctance shown by Democratic leadera to crow ovsr their prospects. The facts are that the more far-sighted chieftains are dubious of ultimate political gains, With few exceptions the parliamentary power that comes with their numerical superiority is accepted with a wry face. The Democrats are cognizant that their solidarity is threatened. As a militant minority their harrassing of the Administration was a grand success. Party wars with deadly facitonal and sectional reactions are on the horizon involving the disposition, of political plums in the reorganization of the House under the Democratic banner. Then, too, as the House jealously guards its prerogatives in originating" basic legislation, it is reasonable that they should anticipate sharp conflicts with a Republican Executive and possibly a Senate controlled by Republicans. Yet, the House, if Democratic, musts hare the responsibility with the Administration and the Senate. This obviously cuts down their party's effectiveness as critics and reduces political capital accordingly. The Presidential and Congressional elections are due next year, when each party must make another bid to the public. The feeling prevails in some qua(rters familiar Iwith agricultural problems that the law of supply and demand may soften the wailings of political hucksters. The increased price of wheat and prospects of additional price advances as a result of conditions abroad will probably put an emborgo on farm relief panaceas in Congress. Though predictions of wheat prices are usually based on sandy foundations the impressjion gains that "dollar wheat" is not far off. The ironical feature is that no political party can rightly claim the credit. Economic laws have a way of their own. It is generally conceded that wage readjustments will not be completed until the railroad workers have taken their wage cuts in common with other industrial employes. These workers are highly organized and may resis£»e redactions in railroad must wage ust submit its proposals to an arbitration board. It is estimated that eight months wSuki be required to settle the railroad wage controversy in event reductions were contested. There has been some talk of strikes as protests to wage reduce tians. Labor leaders feel, however^ that strikes would tie up the transportation systems of the country and would be detrimental to the workers, particularly at this time. Labor disputes in order to be successful must have popular support. Strikes against downward revision of railroad worker ®' wages would result in immediate replacements from the unemployed.
