would cherish BERTHE Lou. For a
moment he forgot that she had been
false beyond the breaking of her
vows-that she had broken their
pact, her promise to give him warn
ing, to tell him when another man
had entered her life.
Rod groaned over it, when it did
come back to him, as was inevitable.
1t was too late now to make amends
to her, to pray for forgiveness.
He could pray only that his mad
obsession, his cursed infatuation for
Lila, had not driven BERTHE Lou
beyond the gates Of happiness.
There must be a chance for her.
There was nothing left for him
to do but make it as easy as pos
sible for her. Clear out, that was it.
And even as the thought came
to him BERTHE Lou was on her
way home, wondering if he would
still be there or out to breakfast
when she got in. If only she could
have breakfast with him shut
your eyes, BERTHE Lou and think
OF something else!
She was dreadfully hungry. The
tray was untouched in her room
at the Palmers, she supposed. I'm
less Marco had ordered it removed
when he discovered that she'd left.
1t was likely.
He'd gone on to his own quarters
to dress on their way back from
the swimming pool. They'd gone
for an early dip when the party
finally broke up at dawn. Every
one else had gone to bed.
The water was cold but fresh.
Marco had ordered the pool filled
that night, though it had been
emptied for what his parents be-
Iieved would be the last time for
the season just before they went
abroad.
BERTHE Lou had enjoyed the few
minutes they spent in it after a
dive from the springboard. Marco
had spoiled the appetite it gave her
for breakfast, though, when ne sud-
denly took her in his arms and tried
to kiss her.
BERTHE Lou was angry. She'd told
him she didn't like that sort of
thing. But Marco had only laughed
at her.
This was in her room, after they'd
got out of their bathing suits in the
shower rooms downstairs and come
up in dressing gowns. Marco had
asked for a cigaret and BERTHE Lou
had let him come in for one.
When he was gone, promising to
dress and return to breakfast with
her, BERTHE Lou hastily packed her
suitcase and hurried down. to the
garage and bribed the chauffeur,
who had been kept up for all night
duty in case a guest decided to leave
to take her to the railroad station.
She was not far behind Rod, but
far enough to make great differ
ence in their lives.

He knew that he loved BERTHE Lou
He knew why Lila and her treach-
cry to Cy, her trickery, and her
profane offer of love had slipped
out of his mind.
BERTHE Lou was all that mattered
to him. She had been all that mat
tered to him. ever. He forgot the
i epithet in thinking of her as Mar
cos wife.
How clear the glass in retrospect
What is easier than looking back
ward? 1t is like solving other
peoples troubles; to see where you
made yesterdays mistakes.
J Rod knew what had happened
to hin-knew that Lila had fas-
cinated him. The old appeal, that
had lured him to her before he
learned to care for BERTHE Lou, had
never, perhaps, burned itself COM
pletely out. He had hated her, as
she said, because she was selfish
and scheming.
He faced it frankly, even admit
ting to himself that Ailas deter
mined pursuit of him might have
f1attered him. No, that was not so;
he honestly had not known that
she was deliberately working for a
renewal OF their love for each other
He had been warmed by their
friendship and understanding. If
he had come to believe himself in
love with her again it was because
she had reversed his opinion of her
and compelled him to admire and
respect her as a truly noble creature.
His desire for her, that now
ranked in his memory like a
poisonous weed, had not been noble.
But at least, it could be said for
him that he had held it in check,
never so much as caressing her
slim fingers. Rod did not feel
ashamed; only Inundated that he
had wanted to take her in his arms
and kiss her
He took upon himself the full
blame for having killed BERTHE
LOUIS love. He saw it now-she
must have suffered over Lila.
Who could tell to what lengths
Lila had gone to break BERTHE Louis
faith in him? He'd never sought
to find out why she had gone back
to Wayville without a word to him.
He found it easy now to under
stand why he hadn't wanted an ex-
PLANTATION upon her return. He did
not spare himself, the painful re-
morse it cost him to admit that it
was because of Lila that he hadn't
wanted to take up their life where
she had broken it off when she left.
Lila. Lila again, with her subtle
insinuations against BERTHE Lou, her

Crystal tried to erase the traces of

of the club porch for Crystal while
she made up her face anew. When
she laid her hand upon Georges

creased production. This output must
be at least maintained, and should be
increased, II profits are to be held up.
Especially is this going to be true Of
the manufacturers who are in the low
price field. Here for the first time, we
find three manufacturers Selling at
prices that were formerly the sole sales
weapon of one.
One thing that will be advantageous
to number of manufacturers this year
Is the way IN which lines have been
rounded out. Instead of holding to
one or two lines, several of the big
producers have broadened their price
range in their expectation that in
creased business will result in 1923.
Another factor that should con-
tribute materially to the increased sales
mark that is looked for this year is ex-
port. Shipments to foreign countries
in 1927 ran close to 100000 units, and
this is expected to exceed the three
quarter million mark in 1928.

The outlook for business IN 1928 Is
favorable, and in the automotive indus
Try. where the atmosphere has been
considerably cleared by the announce
nent OF new lines, production win I'M
doubtedly range greater than In either
1928 or 1927, according TO the president

Business for the year. IL we can Judge
The future by the sales rates Of the last
four months, should increase at least
so per cent over 1927. That increase
all probably be reflected In the figures

he trend Is very definitely toward the
better grade Of car. Statistics prove
that the growth in quality-car sales Is
increasing rapidly each year and at a
yete that exceeds the ratio Of new busi-
ness for the industry as whole.
The situation is due chiefly to three
causes. First, TO the Americans Unborn

acreage having been planted in feed
crops, which cuts down expenditure for
feed.
The Mississippi and New England
flood disasters, regrettable as they were,
have not proved to be entirely without
benefits. Usually when such catastro-
Plies occur steps are taken TO prevent
them happening again. Some OF the
food relief measures now pending will
undoubtedly be placed into effect in
time to avert other such happenings in
these localities. The result should be
a greater agricultural district in the
Mississippi Valley than we have ever
before known, and greater security and
prosperity than before in New England,
so that In reality we may hope for
real, lasting benefit from these disas-
tiers which proved so serious to a very
large portion OF the country.
Competition Is Keen.
In business. competition was never
keener, and this is healthy sign.
Prices are lower; quality is enhanced;
the dollar appreciates in value. This
has been true for several years past,
and the country has shown lasting
benefits in the way Of increased pros
perity and growth Of per capita wealth.
Basing my opinion on recent personal
observations In Europe, which included
visits to both the London and Paris
automobile shows, I believe that We may
expect great progress in the export mar
ket during 1928. The export business
is undoubtedly growing rapidly. thus
fulfilling the predictions Of many bust
ness leaders that here lies an impor-
tapt market 0f the future for AnNerfrar
industry.
In regard to the automobile business
in Europe. there is notable increase
in installment buying, which, of course,
widens the market. Six-cylinder cars
seem to be gaining rapidly in favor over
the small four-cylinder types which
have been so popular there in the past.
The automobile industry in America
may feel proud Of the record made
during 1927. Production compares IA
vorably with previous years. Indi-
vidual manufacturers are in most cases
well satisfied with sales and produc-
ton figures of 1927.

Auto in New York.

The great difficulty In finding a place
to keep an automobile 80 years ago
may be imagined from the trials of a
New York automobile owner of 1897
who could get no space in the boarding
stables operating at that time because
those in charge were afraid that the
new contraption would frighten the
horses, as pointed out by Betty Shan
non and Elsie Johns In an article In
Liberty Magazine.

automobile pioneer put an advertise
ment in the paper for a private stable.
He had several answers TO this, one
from head groom In the service Of
one Of New Yorks most fashionable
families. who was nothing loath TO add
few dollars TO his private income.
Finally. our jaunty motorist received
the use OF the stables and the services

Farmer on Upgrade.
Undoubtedly the farmer was in better
condition at the close of 1927 than he
was in 1926. Prices of grain crops
were good and, with the exception of
few small areas, yields were large.
The same Is true Of hogs and cattle.
In the South, the cotton crop was
worth S400, 900, 900 to 100000, 900 more
than in 1926. Although there were
fewer bales produced. prices per pound
are considerably higher, which accounts
for the larger profit Of the Southern
farmer. The smaller production was

AUTO MANUFACTURER SEES
: GOOD YEAR FOR INDUSTRY
Practice of Gearing Production Closely
To Actual Sales Makes for Sta
bility, Oakland Head Says.

Now that the returns are in for the
year l927-certainly as prosperous q
year as even the most optimistic pre-
dicted IL months ago and only slightly
behind the preceding peak year-it Is
no doubt timely to scan the horizon OF
business for indications as to what this
coming year will bring. according to A
r. Clancy. president Of the Oakland
Motor Car Co.
1T has Ieen predicted by one of the
most eminent financial men in the coun-
try. who is noted for his conservatism,
that this year will see a production of
5o0o,0o0 motor vehicles. I do not know
that this will come to pass. but do feel
that We will experience healthy year
and an extremely prosperous one.
Keeping the motor car industry
the largest in the world-on an even
keel means much to general prosperity,
for upon its prosperity depends the
prosperity of millions Of our citizens.
and the degree to which 1t has become
stabilized has a tremendous influence
on the Stabilization of business as a
whole. The industry has become today
one Of the barometers by which We
Judge general prosperity.
"One of the SoundeSt practices in the
industry today is the policy Of most
manufacturers to gear production close
" to actual sales. This makes for sta
hility. Regardless of any conditions
that might adversely affect general bus
mess, the house of the motor industry
is in such order that stocks on hand
could be easily hquidated. This gearing
If production closely to sales is pretty
much general today in the whole BUSH
ness world. 1t is sound and healthy.
Growth Stabilized,
Much fearful comment has been
made that the automotive industry cam
not continue TO grow by leaps and
sounds. I feel that there has been
much misunderstanding about the whole
situation. There has not been a ire
'lendous growth, in total, of production
curing the last five years. 1t is true
that there has been a shifting of growth
from some companies to others, but the
total has not varied to any tremendous
extent. It is practically stabilized at
he present time.
BASED on a registration Of $4,000. 900
cars and trucks in the United States,
which will be reached shortly, the re-
placement demand, plus the export de-
Inand and the normal growth, would
require a production Of approximately
$500. 900 motor vehicles year, figure
hat has not yet been reached. In ad-
dition to these three markets, there is
a constantly growing trend in the two
car-fanily' field.
Il do not believe it is generally real
lied that at the present time automo-
tive exports from this country rank
third. In 1926 these exports from our
country amounted to more than $751;
COO 900. being LED only by raw cotton
and petroleum products. For the first

bile Show in Grand Central Palace,
New York City.
The 1923 line Of automobiles is very
different from that Of 1927. as was very
clearly shown by few Of the manu-
facturers who held to the lines which
proved popular last year, and, as a re-
suit, had to content themselves with
back seats at the show. They were
out of date.
And. not only did that apply to style.
Improved quality was another big
factor. with lower prices thrown in as
clincher.
The automobile OF 1928 represents
a new value.
That. in addition to the delayed mar
ket which has been carried over from
1927 as result Of the Ford develop
ment. will be the reason for a big new
car demand this year.
People are going to want and have
these new products.
The new value in cars has been made
possible through more efficient and in
