The Wall
Flower
By FRANCES N. SMALL
Q Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service.

NOTHING could have told you
L more about the natures of the
two sisters, Marilyn and Ruth, than
: the two evening gowns lying side by
side on the little bed; Marilyn's fam
ing tangarine, touched here and there
> with daring bits of black, and
Ruth's soft, creamy white tulle, with
a deep yellow rose on the shout
, der.
Marilyn chartered as they dressed,
her black eyes flashing with eager
anticipation, and Ruth listened with
her slow, wise smile. Ruth had
no illusions about dances. She knew
that tonight she would be as she
always had been, q wall-fower. She
had come to look upon the fact as
inevitable and to face 1t with resig-
nation.
Tonight she was little wistful,
and wondered whether romance,
love, all the dreams dear to a girl
heart were, after all, not for her.
A very great longing was in her soft
brown eyes and her lips were trem-
ulous. AS the girls reached Mrs.
Van Alstyn's home, and the crash
of mu~;c burst upon them Ruth
felt just little weary of it all. At
once they were surrounded by a
laughing, noisy group.
"My dears," cried Alice Van Al
styn, "we have lion with us to-
night. Marilyn, Ruth, allow me to
present Mr.. Allen Howard Rich.
He's the author of book of poems,
and you should see him dance!"
General laughter greeted this bold
sally, and Marilyn, as by sovereign
right, was allowed to monopolize
the young man. Not so young,
either, as Ruth's cool, appraising
eyes noted. There were touches of
gray around the poetic temples, and
the eyes had not the eagerneSs of
first youth. He knew how to make
pretty speeches.

SHORT SHORT
STORY
Complete in This Issue

The music called from the ball
room and the young folks drifted
away like bright leaves before a
wind. All but Ruth. She wandered
off to find her hostess, to talk with
the older people, or to amuse her
self as best she might.
"Why, why, must it always be
like this?" she thought.
The music made her head ache,
and she slipped through a French
window onto the terrace. Here it
was cool and quiet, and here one
might dream of the prince who was
to be-someday. A step sounded
on the tagging. 1t was the lion.
"Ah, Miss Ruth, why are you not
dancing? Aren't you being rather
unkind to all those young men who
have such a hard time supplying
themselves with partners?"
"Oh," thought Ruth, "he's going
to be clever, is he? Well see!"
Aloud, she said, 81 doubt if they
are aware of my unkindness. You
yourself seem to prefer the exotic
tiger lily Why had she said
that? She hadn't meant to be bit
ter. Mr.. Rich moved so he could
study her face in the moonlight.
81 see," he said slowly, after a
little pause. GA white rose doesn't
belong in field of wild flowers"
Ruth was furious. Why must he
hurt her so
Don't you see?" she cried. "I'm
just wall-fower. I'never dance.
I'm never asked. Una wall
flower"
"Ah, yes. A wall-fower." Mr..
Rich paused thoughtfully. "a sweet
little white rose growing on the wall
in the sun, needing the old gray
wall for a background and support.
Seeing the gorgeous, flaming tiger
lily growing by hundreds in the field
beyond, and, in her innocence, mag
lining they are fairer than she.
Sweet, foolish little white rose!"
'It is very sweet of you to say
things like that to me-" said Ruth,
<'but, of course, you can't mean
them. You are a poet, and pretty
and meaningless words come nat
urally to your lips. Thank you.
must go in now"
"Wait one minute. don't
mean them? Give me leave to
prove that I do, and much more.
May I call on you tomorrow eve
ming? Perhaps, who knows? may
be the gray wall which will make
such a fitting background for a
sweet white rose"
Ruth's hand was imprisoned for
a breathless moment in a firm
clasp, then she ran down the long
corridors to seclusion for the rest
of the evening. Late that night
Marilyn recounted the gayeties of
the evening to her sister.
"And just think, Ruth, Allen Rich
called me an exotic tiger lily!"
Ruth smiled. In her heart was a
great contentment.

FORD DISCUSSES
LABOR, FARMING.
TRADE OUTLOOK.
Refuses to Back Sloan
In Gloom Forecast

DEARBORN, Mich, June II
G.N.SO Henry Ford talked about
labor, tractors, farming. the reces
sion and automobiles today as he
celebrated the tnirty-fifth ami
verSary of the formation of the
Ford Motor Company.
He refused to comment on the
prediction of General Motors
Board Chairman Alfred P. Sloan
jr.. that the automobile industry
will hit the 1882 low by November,
saying:
Il don't want to predict any
thing that's not nice"
He said organized labor is not a
factor at his plant, explaining:
Labor troubles don't mean
anything to us. I think they are
having their own troubles"
CHARGE OF FORECAST
Asked if he thought the power
of organized labor was on the
wane, he said:
We'll, we'll wait until they
settle their own troubles and
then We'll make predictions.
He predicted the day when plas-
tics will replace steel completely"
in automobile construction.

man.
We'll, we started out with
wood"
He said the use of plaSticS will
bring a greater demand for trac-
tors by stimulating farm work.
His new low-priced tractor will be
ready for sale soon, he said.
Automobile parts, even the en-
CINE of the Ford V-8 car, will be
used as much as possible in the
tractor, he said.
Ford said the automobile indus
try will not be affected by a re-
ceSsion Indefinitely because:
THE world will not go with
out automobiles.
IT find people let their
houses go by the board to keep
their cars
Style, he said, is more important
TO the sale of cars than depend
ability or service.
BACK.TO-LAND
Ford parted questions about
labor and economy and went on
10 his favorite Subject-the back
to the land movement.
In my experimental farms"
he said, Il have found people
are showing a keen interest in
the land"
1t is Ford's credo that back.

Americas salvation, and to hurry
the movement along he has eS-

Ford and his son, EdSel, escorted

Of the Ford Motor Company on
the thirty-fifth anniversary of its
formation.
The elderly magnate proudly
showed newsmen the new build

MARTIN DENIES
UAW BUSTERS.
INDICATE SPLIT.

NEW YORK, June 16 0.N.SO.
Recent suspension of five officers
of the United Automobile Workers
carries no threat to the organiza.
ton as a whole, Homer Martin,
president, declared here today.
I'VE are going right ahead"
he stated. There is no split
just because five officers
were suspended"
Martin has been in New York
negotiating contract for the
JAW with the Brewster Aero
nautical Corporation, he said in
explaining his presence here. The
contract was to be signed today
providing an improved agree
ment" for the 400 employees of the
corporation. He said he expected
to leave late today for Detroit.
Richard T. FrankenSteen, Wynd-
ham Mortimer. Ed Hall and
Walter Welles, al vice presidents,
and George Adds, secretary
treasurer. were ousted by Martin
after he accused them of failing
to live up to an agreement made
last month in the JAW and
throwing the whole thing over
board"
I'VE are trying to build up a
responsible, intelligent union
but a union, and not something
else" the president emphasized.
There are between 375 900
ard 100000 members in good
standing" he said.
Martin shares the opinion of
Alfred P. Sloan, of General
Motors, that employment pros
poets in the motor industry are
gloomy for the coming season.

| Mcdonald. Then my opponent says
his secretary worked for Senator Nor
rison. That took nerve. I will let Sen
ator Morrison himself tell how long
he kept in his office anybody except
citizens of North Carolina"
Hancock said that he listened very
carefully" to the opening gun speech
the Junior senator made over the radio
from Raleigh, and that except for the
feeble apology for his fake issue of
aliens and the novel defense of en-
ploying a Virginian as his secretary,
his one argument for denomination is
based on a plea for seniority
His reasoning on that is just ex-
actly six years too late" the congress-
man said HE should have thought
of it in 1882 when he was ridiculing
that grand patriot and statesman,
Honorable Cameron Morrison, from
one end of the State to the other
"TIe had no thought for seniority
them" Hancock continued. HE was
thinking only Of opuni fishing. Senator
Morrison for committing the high
crime of being loyal to a friend and
s4eighbor, Honorable Frank r. Nc
Ninch, who is now one of the most
trusted assistants President Rouse
welt has. On what meat does he feed
that he now believes his seniority is
important where Senator Morrisons
and that of Senator Overman, whom
he tried to defeat after more than a
quarter of a century of the highest
type of service, were unimportant?"
"Are we to assume that after five
years in the Senate the only reason
he can find to ask the people to re-
lect him is because he has been there
five years? Really, my friends, il
would be pathetic were it not for the
fact that we have given him five
years of the most glorious vacation
mortal man ever had"
Hancock admitted that Reynolds
said some other things in the open
ing gun speech. Among them he re-
ferred to the defensive statements
"He said that since 1888 the Senate
has passed 4,440 laws and resolutions.
That is interesting to know, but how
does it concern him. He admitted sc-
Gently in Durham that he never had
time to read any bills So it is a mat
ter of small concern to him how MANY
are introduced or passed.
Gle says that he renders personal
service. That is interesting, too At
all times, save in election year, his
door has been locked at noon and
the telephone lines disconnected. Nc
other senator or congressman in the
long history of North Carolina ever
found it necessary to do that"
Charges that Hancock sad Rey
no!ds had "religiously avoided" an
swering were that the junior senator
is playboy; that he conducts a one
man travel bureau; that he is lacking
N the dignity associated with the of
flee; that his only contribution to
statecraft was the sponsorship of n
liquor and open bar-room law for the
District of Columbia and that he has
failed to keep promises he made as a
candidate for the Senate.

SAYS REYNOLDS|S
DODG|NG ON ISSUES
Hancock Rips Into Senator's
Record in Elizabeth
City Address

Elizabeth City, June Frank Han
cock charged before an Albemarle
Sound audience last night that Bob
Reynolds is afraid and ashamed of
the record he has made as United
States senator and is today shying
away from it and trying to dodge his
way into another term.
"But he can't do that with him."
the Oxford congressman said testify.
"He has got to explain himself or else
lgo before the people next SATURDAY.
without any explanation. Where there
is no denial, and where excuses are
too weak for utterance, there is or
dinarily only one course to pursue and
that is to change the subject"
Renewing seven distinct charges d.
gainst Reynolds, Hancock said that
the much advertised opening gun"
of the junior senator had failed to
fire five times and had on the sub
ject of aliens, merely "fizzled.'
when 1 charged that contrary to
all promises and precedents, he had
employed as his secretary a citizen
of Virginia instead of turning to his
native State for such assistance as
he needed, the opening gun actually
went off. He entered his defense on
this sole charge.
sHe says his secretary worked for
Senator Overman. We in North Car
