Henry, who had been threatened with this
awful penalty too often to keep count.
shrugged and got on the telephone. In a half
hour it was, of course, impossible. 1t took
that long to find grower on Long Island
who'd set out a row of Drushkis, very late
Get couple of dozen here in twenty
minutes" snarled Henry.
It'll take me an hour to drive that far
snorted the grower
Twenty minutes!' shouted Henry.
AND it was forty-two minutes before he
found some out-of-season Glamorous in a
Jersey hothouse. Have 'em here in ten min
utes!" snapped Henry.
Are you nuts?"
"Okay, so you don't want our business
Altogether it was an hour and three
quarters before the flowers were on hand and
Pierre was angry and impatient - too impa-
tient to listen to the Long Island grower
mumbling something about a twenty-five
dollar fine for speeding, and who was going to
pay that?
"Please! Pierre snapped. "You go, please,
and if you charge more than half prices for
such inferiorities, l will never again have
business with you. ALles!"
And he got to work There wasn't, Henry
knew, any such great rush. He still had four
hours to do fifteen minutes work. But even
as Pierre proceeded, Henry could see this
might take a little longer. Every sprig of the
little green bed of yew had to be just so.
The slender, delicate fingers, usually so nirn-
BILE, now were almost painfully slow A dewy
Drushki was shattered; fawlessly as nature
had arranged the petals, Pierre rearranged
them even more beautifully; large as the rose
was, it grew larger in the working; another
rose was shattered and it was grated to the
first rose. Then the delicate pink petals of the
tulip were shattered and they, too were
worked into the design.
In the hands of lesser artist, the result
would have been a miserable hash In the
hands of Pierre what grew up was master
piece. Not as lasting, of course, as the most
beautiful of crown jewels, but, for the ten or
twelve hours it would retain its dewiness, no
crown jewels would be as lovely.

was confined chiefly to price tags, was inn
pressed.
Gee. boss" he said. that's beautiful -
really"
Pierre stared at it critically, then gave
Henry one cold, contemptuous glance He
dashed the corsage to the tiled floor and
crushed out its life with one stamp of his
pointed shoe.
TRASH" he snorted. "C'ea trash! More
roses. imbecile! More tulips!''
All through the afternoon Pierre labored
Orders piled up and were either neglected or.
the simple ones, filed by Henry Masterpiece
after masterpiece was created, lived only long
enough for Pierre to sneer at it, then perished
under his pointed shoe. He gave orders that
he would not talk to anyone. Even when
Mrs. Bellingham Derwent telephoned. Tell
her," he ragged at Henry, ito hell please gor'
''MRs. DERwENr!" said Henry. He really
was afraid now that Pierre was cracking up
Practically single-handed. Mr.. Bellingham
Derwent paid the huge rent for Pierre's, Inc.,
Mrs. Bellingham Derwent herselfv
Pierre hurled his latest to the floor and
advanced fiercely toward Henry. Il myself
will tell that old beast where to CO."
At the last moment, however, he apparently
managed to restrain himself. For he breathed,
Madame Derwent - ah, yes, Madame
Der = Pardon? Pardon? He, Henri said
that, Madame? -. Fire him will immedi-
ately. The oaf! :. :. He is excited, Madame,
because His Majesty himself commissioned
Pierre to - ah, but excited I am myself.
Madame Derwent. You will please forget?
beg you, Madame, forget what just say.
His Royal Highness is incognito here. But
His Highness is such an old patron, could
not -- but for you, Madame, for you, Ma
dame Derwent - of course, Pierre is available
always. OuE But of course!' He listened
carefully. "Oui -. oui -. 0ui -. but the
very thing have, just special by plane from
Hawaii. . At six? Madame, if His Majesty
must wait you must not!'
Before starting again on the corsage, Pierre
snatched up twenty dollars worth of orchids,
grown in his own hothouse. few sprigs Of
greenery, spun them together and cunningly
wrote bill for $50.
At five minutes to five Pierre was limp.
Satisfied? Mais, non, he told Henry, who was
looking in resumed awe at the latest. 1t was,
he conceded, wonderful, superb, perhaps even
monumental, great work of art, but not as
good as he would have done if his friend,
M. Murphy, had given him the time an artist
really needs for the truly creative effort.
He put it in box and told Henry to take
it to M. Murphy; he, himself, did not have
the heart to apologize for such poor effort.
Pierre did, however, glue his face to the
window and watch Henry cross the lobby
and give the box to Mr. Murphy.
liz WATCHED, too, while MIR. Murphy opened
the box, watched his face, drinking in every
bit of the wonderment the fascination with
which Mr. Murphy stared. What he saw
warmed Pierre's heart, filled it with the glow.

When Henry came back, Pierre was care
fully lighting cigarette.
''Gee" said Henry, "you know what -
that Murphy's not gushy guy, but he said
that it was so beautiful it made him almost
want to cry"
Pierre shifted. "A mere bauble, gim-

Defense Studies Seek
Ways 10 Cut Costs Of
Research and Supply
BY John A. Giles

The Defense Department Is
conducting economy studies of the
military research and development
programs and supply systems, it
was learned today.
The new efforts to bring about
economy are coupled with surveys
of the medical Setup aimed at
bringing about greater use of beds
in station hospitals and dispen-
saries. The Department an
nounced Wednesday night the
closing or change in status of 18
general hospitals.
One of the principal purposes
of the research and development
study, which is due for completion
in about three months, is to bring
about greater common utilization
of facilities. No changes in the re-
search contracts the services have
with universities and engineering
laboratories are likely to come
about.
Support Projects Checked.
There has been an increase in
recent years in what the Depart
ment calls support" for scientific
endeavors, and the survey will at
tempt to bring about some reduc-
ton in this field. For instance, one
military research laboratory,
which five years ago had an aver
age OF one guard. clerk, watch
man and other incidental en-
ployes for each scientist c-,r..-
ployed, now has a ratio of 3la sucn
personnel for each scientist.
An effort also will be made to
determine whether the services
are using each others test facili-
ties, such as wind tunnels, to ad-
vantage. Some such facilities are
the most modern available, while
others at similar stations are get
ting out of date. 1t is believed
some overhead can be cut in this
field and that the end product
would be improved.
Could Revise Purchasing.
The supply. survey will cover the
whole f1eld-procurement, storage,
distribution and issue-and will be
the departments greatest effort in
the economy field. 1t could bring
about drastic changes in the
whole system Of military purchas-
ing.
After the closing or changes in
status of the 18 general hospitals,
calculated to save $25 100000 an
nually, defense officials estimate
there will be an 80 per cent in
crease in the use of all beds at
such facilities. However, they see
a further need for greater use of
beds in station hospitals.

Police Hunt Narcotics Suspect
2 Months, Find Him in Jail

Handed prescription calling
for an unusually large percentage
of cocaine, the druggist became
suspicious and called the doctor
in whose name the prescription
appeared. AT this, Davis hurriedly
left the drugstore. leaving the
paper with the pharmacist.
Thus began the search by po-
lice. Detective Sergt. William L.
Taylor of the Narcotics Squad,
talking over his case with fellow
officers the other day, was told
one Herman Davies had been In
District Jail since January 9. It
turned out to be the forgery sus-
pect. He was brought before Unit
ed States Commissioner Cyril S.
Lawrence, who ordered him held.
And back he went to Jail. Mich

der $1,000 bond facing grand jury

They changed their minds under
the pressure of developments in
Korea and the worsening of the
international situation. Subcom-
mittee members who also belong
to the Foreign Relations, Armed
Services and Atomic Energy Com
mittee thus would have more time,
it was said. to devote to more
important matters.
The minority members of the
subcommittee-Senators Hicken-
looper and Lodge, both Repub-
licans-were not invited to attend
the meetings when the report was
drafted. Nor was Robert Morris,
the assistant counsel appointed

drafting of the report. The in
ference is that since they were

with the conclusions drawn by
their Democratic colleagues and
their presence thus would be
pointless.
Lodge Report Interesting.
The majority report excoriated
the Wisconsin Senator in Ian

floor would draw rebuke from the

Senator Lodge made a minority
