MOUNTAIN LAUREL HAS
ALL CHARACTERISTICS OF
TRUE AMERICAN FLOWER
IRON a stan Correspondent

ASBURK PARK, May ia Ma
tional Flower" was the title of an
illustrated address by Henry Turner
Bailey, of Boston, editor of THE
School Arts Book given today at the
federation meeting. The address was
illustrated before the audience by
blackboard drawings, revealing the
natural beauties of the laurel. and the
adaptation of the forms to the require
ments of modern American life. MIR.
Bailey said in part:
Frederick Leroy Sargent onoe said,
"A national flower is a matter of pure
sentiment seeking legislative recogni-
ton A national flower is more thar
that. 1t Is an esthetic necessity.
America has been thus far a nation Of
promiscuous borrowers in art, and
Professor John c. Van Dyke says that
for the most part we have borrowed
the wrong things. And he adds, The
inspiration of a nations art never yet
came out OF the junk-shop. 1t comes
out of the soil, the time, the place, the
people and their ideals.
The whole history of art might be
summoned TO prove the truth of Pro-
lessor Van Dykes statement. Egyptian
art was developed from the lotus and
a few other native plants. Greek art
at its best was elaborated from the lily
n the acanthus. The Gothic was the
fruitage of the northern flowers. II
America is ever to produce an art OF
it's w it must make use OF it's ma
tive 1t must adopt some
few elements peculiarly appropriate,
something rejecting American ideals
and with patience work these elements
over and over in the spirit of the
ancient, the classic and the medieval
nations until forms of beauty arise and
give us a national art.
THE mountain laurel, kalmia,
already designated In the botanies Ell

a national flower, for it is capable Of
inspiring a national art. 1t is not O

wood. Some variety of it is to be found

FIRST APRIL GRAND JURY
ENDS DUTIES; DISCHARGED

The first April grand jury was dis
charged by Judge Thomas A. Davis
late yesterday afternoon following the
completion of their term of service.
The jurors had no -presentment to
make to the court and asked that they
be discharged yesterday. as Chief Jus
tice William S. Gummere would. who
is out of the city, would not be at the
Court House today, and the jurors did
not want to appear again on Monday.
: Judge Davis vas communicated with
and granted the request of the jurors,
who had served six weeks. During
that time they found true bills of
murder against three persons, two men
and a woman, one Antonio Luciano
having already been tried and sem
fenced to the death penalty.

It is independent OF wind or insects;
1t has a mechanical device OF It's own

But, most important Of all, it is mar

Frank Gearwar Seriously Wounded
by His Son.

Frank Gearwar Seriously Wounded
by His Son.
Frank Gearwar, aged so years,
is in the WoodsviIle hospital, danger
ously wounded, sthe result of a fra
cas- with his son, Clyde Gearwar,
aged Is years, Christmas afternoon.
The boy, while admitting shooting
his father, claims that he did it in
self defense, and his mother bears
out the boy in his story. The shoot
ing took place at the Gearwar
farm, which is about five miles from
Wells River, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Gearwar, the son, Clyde, and three
other sons and two daughters re-
side. In telling his side of the case,
Clyde Gearwar says that he was
attacked by his father, who threaten
ed to put him out of the house. The
boy says his father, who was drunk,
had him on the floor and was
choking and pummeling him severe
ly, when the boy wriggled around
so that he could reach revolver on
nearby shelf. He says that he fired
then. Three out of four shots took
effect, the most dangerous wound
being one which starts at the
right breast and takes a
course across the body and is now
lodged in the left lung. Another
shot struck the elder man in the left
leg just above the knee, and a third
grazed one ear. When seen at the
hospital by States Attorney Stanley
G. Wilson of Chelsea, the victim of
the shooting claimed that he had not
laid hands on the boy, as the latter
stated, but that he had started for
him. Mrs. Gearwer, on the other
hand, declares that her husband had
already attacked the youth, thus
supporting the boys story of self-de-
Tense. The Gearwar family have
resided in town for about Is years,
occupying farm of about LOO
acres in the western part of the town
and about five miles from this vii
lage. Gearwar, the victim of the
shooting, has had the reputation of
being troublesome when intoxicated,
and it is said that he has driven his
family out of the house at times.
