War Materials Valued
at ESQ Millions Produced
in First Quarter of 1912

The trickle of war materials
from General Motors plants is fast
becoming a steady stream and the
first quarter of 1912 is expected
to show a 80 per cent increase in
deliveries over the last quarter of
1871. Alfred p. Sloan Jr., chair
man of the board of General Mo-
tors. reported today TO the stock
holders.
The speed AT which the cor
poration was swinging into its war
production was shown, Sloan said,
by the fact that in the first quar-
ter of 1871 deliveries were Just in
excess of 80 million dollars while
the first three months of 1912 will
show deliveries of nearly $50 mil
lion dollars.
War production responsibilities
OF his company have grown with
even greater rapidity. Sloan S

these were further aggravated by the constant
shrinkage in her fortune. About the third year
after her husbands death, the miser self became
top dog as proved by the fact that she then began
to economic even in her pet extravaganza, furs.
From her visit to Europe that year, she re-
turned with as many and flashy new furs as
ever, but, for the first time like her Jewels they
slightly "phony" Some were of such poor
quality to be noticeable at the first glance The
extravagant self, though minority party in
the congress of her BRAIN was still so strong that
it had to be appeased.
The first fears of initiation were already in the
air, and at that time the only hedge against it
was supposed to be real estate. Both selves COM
promised on buying some. The Venus" now in
second-rate furs returned to Miami and bought an
estate on Star Island, situated on the causeway be-
tween Miami and Miami Beach It need hardly be
mentioned that it was bargain.
The house was an imposing Spanish mansion
that had been built for Jim Allison, who made
fortune in Prestolite. The villa was commonly
known the 'upside-down house." because the
owners living quarters were on the ground floor,
while the guest and reception rooms were all on
the one above. This popularity made it hard to
SELL
The new owner changed all that but made it
more peculiar, transforming all the guest
rooms into sitting rooms and leaving just two
bedrooms, upstairs, and hard to reach This

ciety ladies who had snubbed her. BY entertain
ing Queen for few days she could forever as
sert that she the only person in Chicago
deemed worthy of having visiting monarch un-
der her roof
To the establishment of everyone Mrs Gilchrist
said she couldn't be bothered. Marie could have
the use of her apartment since the city thought
it the only one that would do but she and her
husband had engaged passage for trip to Europe
and it would be too much trouble to change their
plans.
1.-THE woman must be crazy" was the opinion
of all who heard of the great refusal so, there
was a method in her Madness as a Presidents
wife could have told them. Her Majesty had the
same hgh-handed ways which have made her son,
Carol, famous and are now forcing him to remain
in Mexico, though he generously offered either
to marry Magda Lupescu or leave her behind or
BOTH Emily may have foreseen what was coming
Hardly had Queen Marie become settled in her
sumptuous abode, than she put in day shopping
at Chicago's two biggest department stores Sales
persons gasped in admiration at the way she
ordered dozens of the best of everything and
was so sordid as to ask the price. Croesus' own
wife could not have done it in grander manner.
But with the vans which came to deliver the
goods to the Gilchrist apartment rode men from
the personnel department of the two stores who
had their orders from the credit department Be
fore anything was unloaded, they asked:
"Who is going to pay for all this?"
The Queens Secretary of the Privy Exchequer
almost tainted at such ieSe mojeste, but finally
- "Why ah- of course you may charge it to
the account of Mrs. Gilchrist."
"But unfortunately Mrs Gilchrist left instruc-
tions that nobody is to charge Anything to her
account until she returns" was the answer do
you wish to write us a checkY"
The Secretary of the Privy Exchequer had no
such DESIRE and so all the lovely things went back
into stock Also Emily's private stock, what the

up, remained right where it was, be-
hind that padlocked door.
The self-effacing husband, hover
ing silently behind her, like an almost
invisible shadow, suddenly effaced
himself entirely, by dying in 1890.
Emily is said to have dictated the will,
which left her his entire fortune, con-
sisting at the moment of several mill
lions. He left her at an awkward mo-
ment, right after the crash, when
businesses were collapsing right and
left.
However, the widow had found
time to become acquainted, not only with the lum-
Der business, but all her husbands other invest
ments and was already the dominant business part
ner though Gilchrist still attended to the details
Now she took complete charge.
Economy was the watchword of the day and
Emily put this in force so vigorously that they
called her Emily Economy Gilchrist." But she
was not content with stopping leaks; she fired
every high-salaried man, which was too much of
a good thing The fortune began running away
from her at the rate of about million dollars a
year.
She had few business confdants at this time
and even when she did discuss her complicated af-
fairs with any Of them she went right ahead doing
as she had intended from the beginning For eight
years the wealthy widow worried, lonesome and
no longer young or beautiful remained unmarried
She had plenty of suitors all the time and was
actually engaged to the late D. Hall Roosevelt
brother of Eleanor Roosevelt He was the last of
the knights of the gilded Newport era.
He was grand CATCH socially, and an ideal
husband in many other ways but he had expensive
tastes. The womans rapidly-mounting mania for
economy could not bear that one defect and so,
most regretfully, she gave the grand knight the
mitten.
In the psychological war, waged in her brain
between the extrayagant self and the economical
one, age, as usual favored the misery traits, and

her choice of wines Ii Emily had only lived until
war was declared she would have seen all of society
drinking domestic wine and praising it as even bet
ter than the foreign brands.
But the separation of Emily and Lucy was
probably caused by Emily stingness. And isola-
ton only augmented Emily Gchrist's strange
habits.
There was some shrewd sense in many other
of her economies; but are almost beyond
understanding She had two foreign cars, which
sometime had cost somebody $4,000 each, but
were so aged that when she tried to turn one in on
a automobile, the allowance offered was only
about SIPS.
CARRIED IN her somewhat shoddy furs, she
would have the uniformed chauffeur take her to
a five-and-ten store, where the gaping customers
would follow Mrs Gilchrist around to see what
such very rich lady would buy She bought
precious little, sometimes nothing at ALL but the
attention delighted her and the cost negligible.
Once she spoiled the effect by dropping coin
as she FASTENED to step back into the car during
a thunder shower. Emily insisted that the chauf
feur find the coin before they left. To do SO he
had to move the car to another parking space and
become drenched to the skin before he retrieved
the coin from mud puddle. 1t was nickel The
crowd watching from the stores doors, hooted
and the chauffeur resigned

Mrs. Gilchrist despised them for
what she knew they were, but they
called her Princess and she basked
in their flattery, though she knew it
was hollow. Anyone can fill his house
with such persons by providing free
food and drink. The great problem is
to get them out, after they have become
drunk, sleepy and quarrelsome. If beds
are available they are sure to crawl into
them, and once such guest has don't

seemed to have much in common, but
