Lady Astor's Campaign Recalls
Vogue of Langhorne Beauties

Sometime, but not very long ago,
there died in Virginia one Of the most
distinguished gentlemen of the Old
Dominion State. He was Col. CHS
we'll Dabney Langhorne. the father Of
the FIVE famous Langhorne beauties.
In Virginia there could be no
greater claim to fame than to have
reared Ave reigning bellies. Beside 1t
even as ancestry dating back to a
Welsh lieutenant who settled on a
crown grant near the James in 1913
Is a trifiing matter.
Just now. Lady Aston, who has hon.
or OF being the first woman to sit in
Parliament, Is finding her early train
ing at Mirador. her fathers beauti-
full estate in Albemarle County, Vir-
sinia, very useful. In Mirador, as at
the Eanghorne town house in Rich
mOnd. Lady Astor. then Mamie Lang
horne. held court with her sisters.
Society young men of the Virginia
capital Wed with the scions of old
families of New York, Philadelphia.
Baltimore. Washington and New Or
leans, for her, favor.
Like her sisters, she rode to the
hounds in the fox hunts which were a
feature of Virginia country life. She
danced her way into the heart of
many an ambitious II unsuccessful
adnirer Perhaps never has the pop
ularity OF so many sisters OF dazzling
beauty, charm and Accomplishments
bewildered so large a train OF young
men followers, all eager TOR tine priv
ilege of playing knights-errent to their
ladyship in democratic America.
And just as the quick wit Of the
Langhborne beauties added to their
position in Richmond. so the quick
wit of Lady Astor stood her in good
stead In her unique political canvass
in Plymouth, where she sought the
seat in Commons her husha nd had
to abandon when he accepted an
earldom at the hands of King George.
She told the voters, in one speech.
that ii was fitting that a daughter of
Virginia. the first English settlement
in the new world. should return to
the mother country and be the first
woman to sit in Parliament. When
she visited an almshouse she asked
one Of the fifty elderly women quar-
tered there how she was feeling and
received the reply. ''Middling."
Has Ready Wit.
In Virginia." said Lady Astor, the
answer would have been lust loafin'
and achin' around"
Her readiness at repa.rtee has en-
abled her to discomfit more than one
heckler.
The first Of the Langhorne sisters
to marry was Elizabeth, who became
the wife Of Aoncure Perkins, one of
Richmond's leading business men.
Mrs. Perkins died in 1914. leaving a
daughter. who embodies the family's
traditional beauty.
Irene Langhorne was next to marry.
In 1882. Discarding the offers of rich
and titled men. she chose a struggling
young artist, Charles Dana Gibson,

White Explains Reason
For Stewart big Ten"

at is rather unusual thing to me-"
says Frank NJ White. local manager
for Stewart Products, that the average
person still thinks of our company only
as the speedometer maker. True, it
was our first big product, and Stewart
speedometers are to-day universally
used.
"But, in addition to this, we are also
the largest manufacturers OF gasolene
feeds. Our vacuum system is the only
really scientific feed system ever de-
vised
1--WE are also the largest manufact-
urers of warning signals and search
lights generally known as spotlights).
"In addition to this, we produce very
large quantities of bumpers, and also
spark plugs.
However, guess we are up against
the same proposition as Heinz. The
world knew him as the pickle maker,
and was slow to think of him as any
thing else, Notwithstanding the fact
that he later made a wide variety
of articles. So he inaugurated the 81
Varieties
at was for this reason that we
brought out the idea of the Stewart
Big Ten to impress motordom gen.
orally with the fact that, in addition
to the speedometer. the factory makes
nine other widely used products"

That It will be absolutely impossible
for motor car manufacturers OF this
country to meet the demand for au-
tomobles for three or four years to
come is the conviction of L. W. Null
ford, president and general manager
of l.. ". Mulford, local Grant distrio-
uters.
There is tremendous shortage
of motor cars now," says Mr.. Null
ford. From all the information we
have been able to gather, this short
age will continue for several years.
People who want to get new auto
mobiles will do we'll to place their
orders as much in advance as pos
sble; otherwise they run the risk
Of being disappointed
ALREADY hundreds Of buyers have
been compelled to take some car
other than their first choice because
of the unprecedented demand. The
demand for the Grant Six has ex-
ceeded all previous records. We had
believed that we were in an excep-
tionally fortunate position by rea-
son Of the fact that We had con-
tracted for materials for several
thousand cars on definite basis
and therefore would get immediate
deliveries of material.
1--WE have secured fairly prompt
deliveries of materials contracted
for, but nevertheless, with production
at the peak, the demand is five or six
times that which we are able to pro-
duce."
