.DOGW00D'S STORY
LEGEND
Flower Bears Marks of Sa.
viour's Crucifixion, Says
Old Tale.

properly owners VINO 60 IN Tor or.
namental planting have long valued
the varied species Of dogwood Tor their
attractive early Summer bloom and for
the berries which not only have .
decorative value in themselves, but
which also attract many kinds of birds,
says Paul Davey, well-known tree ex-
pert, in his message to home owners.
He continues:
THE Tatarian' dogwood is one tree
which has a. winter ornamental value
in addition to exceptional summer
features. Its red twigs give . touch Of
color at time when color Is most ap-
preciated because there Is 50 little of 1t.
Although the various dogwoods are
sometimes so small that they seem
hardly more than q good sized shrub,
they have been known for centuries
and their legendary history reaches
into Greek mythology. to the Roman
empire at the time Of Christ and to
the folklore Of early American Indian
tribes. Their slender, twisted branches
and unusual four-petaled flowers have
seemed to call for explanation and the
Legends have tried to account for them.
Story Of the Crucifixion.
"One Of the legends is to the effect
that the dogwood, because of the hard
ness Of its wood, was chosen for use
In the cross at the crucifixion. The
technical name Of the tree is Cornus,
from the Latin corna, horn, and re-
fers to the character Of the wood. The
legend runs that the dogwood was
much distressed at being chosen for
such terrible purpose and that the
Saviour, sensing this feeling, made to
the tree this promise:
Never again shall the dogwood tree
grow large enough to be used for q
cross. Henceforth it shall be slender
and bent and twisted and its blossom
shall be in the form OF a cross-two
long and two short petals and in the
center OF the outer edge of each petal
there shall be nail prints, brown with
rust and stained with blood, and the
center Of the flower will be q crown
OF thorns.
All those who see it will remember,
1t was on the dogwood that was
crucified and this tree shall not be
mutilated or destroyed, but cherished
and protected as a reminder of my
agony and death upon the cross.
Legend Beautiful One.
1T is beautiful way of explaining
the peculiarities of the dogwood. His
tory does not bear out the legendary
assumption that the cross was made
from the wood of the dogwood, but
that does not take away from the
beauty of the legend.
Another Of the mythical tales of
the dogWood is that part of the wood
from which the famous wooden horse
used at the siege of Troy came from
doewood trees in a grove on Mount
Ida which was sacred to the god
Apollo, and that this impious destruc-
ton Of the trees so angered the god
that the Greeks, to appease his wrath,
instituted the feast of the Karneia, or
Carnia. to pay hommage to the trees
which had been destroyed.
The dogwood is supposed to take
its common name from the fact that
a decoction breved from the bark of

tutions are reluctant if not afraid
to make 80 per cent loans on homes,
even with the F. H. A. insurance
provided in the act. Some few indi-
Gated willingness to make the loans,
and no doubt sufficient financing will
be available to take care of all the
low-cost building the Capital needs
Unsoundness Feared.
The United States Building and
Loan League already has gone on
record as believing the 80 per cent
loan "unsound. A majority Of the
building associations in the District
apparently are in accord with this
view. Likewise the Mortgage Bank
ers' Association is violently opposed
to this type of financing, and the
members of this group here feel the
same way.
Among the builders who operate in
the District and nearby sections of
Virginia and Maryland, q majority
feels the more favorable financing
terms will be great stimulus to
building nationally. A number are
in doubt as to whether the new law
will have much effect locally. Gen.
orally speaking, the man who builds
homes for sale at prices over $4,000
Is against the new plan, while the
builder who provides homes for sale
under that figure is all for it.
AS one prominent real estate man
who builds more expensive homes illus
trated it, it will be possible to sell
the $4,000 house with a down pay
menp of s1.400. while it will be neces-
sary to put up $4,000 cash to buy
home costing $1,000. But the law
requiring less down payment on low
cost housing and greatly reduced
financing charges will cause more
builders in Washington to enter the
lower class field.
Hope Seen in Modernization.
Thomas j. Groom. president of the
District Bankers Association, said
that revival of Title I undoubtedly
will contribute a great deal toward
allevtating unemployment and stimu-
lating construction. He said bankers
experience with F. H. A. moderniza-
ton loans prior to expiration of Title

I last March was quite favorable.
Banks in Washington participated in
these loans to the extent of l0615,
amounting to s5.384,659, before the
old act expired, and Mr.. Groom said
they would make large N1umber
under the new law. He said he had
not devoted sufficient study to the
home financing plan OF the amend
ments to comment on the effect they
may be expected to have here.
John Linder. vice president of New
bold Development Co., which has
erected large number Of small homes
near Bethesda, was most enthusi-
astic regarding the new F. H. A. plan.
He said his organization plans to take
full advantage Of it by building a
large number Of houses this year. He
said the builder of small homes, due
to lower financing charges, can now
cut prices Of his offerings as well as
get all cash out Of every deal A
home costing slightly under $4,000
can now be paid for at the rate Of
s29 per month, an item which un-
doubtedly will cause a large number
of people who now are renting to buy
homes.
Plan Not New Here.
Myron Davey Of National Insured
Homes. Inc, developers Of River Ter
race in Northeast Washington, said
the amendments will have q tre-
mendously stimulating effect on low
cost home construction" However,
he declared other cities will feel the
benefits more than Washington, as
this city has had great building ac-
tivity for several years, and financing
with 10 per cent down payment is
not new in this section. Mr.. Davey
stated his organization plans to build
100 homes this year, and a portion
of this expansion Is due to the new
F. H. A. set-up.
Albert Walker Of the Loushborough
Development Corp, developers Of
Westmoreland Hills and Westhaven,
was another builder who said the
amendments should be beneficial to
the building industry here, He said
his organization plans to take ad-
vantage Of the new plan.
While abolition Of the service
charge and lowering of interest rates
on F. H. A. insured loans will prove
more attractive to the borrower, it
will also result in many financing in

period. of 979 loans, 942 were on
single-family dwellings: and in vir-
sinia Of 1,27l loans, 1888 were on
single-family houses.
Thus the figures reveal impress
sively the manner in which Acacia
Is advancing the cause Of home
ownership.
This is further emphasized by the
1887 record. In the District Acacia
made 405 mortgage loans for an ag-
gregate Of S3,711,296. OF these 39l
loans totaling $2,294.613 were on
single-family houses. In Maryland
for last year 272 of 278 loans were
on single-family houses, or sl,6O8,-
557 of s1,678,174 placed there. And
IN Virginia, Acacia made 434 mort
gage loans in 1897; 432 were for one
family houses, or 81, ,984,05l of sl,es3,-

In thus extending its facilities so

mental value"

investment with less interest. AS one
builder pointed out, small banks have
handled the loans largely because
of the service charge, as they are

KETOBIKAN PACKING PLANT
 PICkETED BY Cf0 UNIONS

CI0 pickets went on duty at tIe Ketehikan Packing company plant and approaches on Water and Ken nedy streets and Tongass avenue at Wednesday morning. There was no violence, and Workmen went through the picket line safely des- pite jibes. reports the Ketehikan Chronicle.
 There was a decided air of tension about the plant, however, as dozens Of interested observers gathered near the Tongass avenue bunk house where 1t was reported some Filipi- nos were eating lunch. 4 crowd of about 50 pieketss most of them with out sandwich plaeards, were at the scene. Most of the FilipinOs were still in the bunk house at 2 o'clock that afternoon.
 Frank Lloyd, president Of the Ketchikan Packing company. said his firm would not comply with un- ion demands made the previous night because the company '.is un- willing to permit money to be sx- torted from its employees. We have consequently refused to sign any statement which could be used by the union to intimidate our work CTS and thereby force them to pass through the CI0 hiring hall against their wishes
 Mrs. Ethel Moran, business agent for the CTO cannery workers unlon, said her union will insist on em- pIoyment of local labor in prefer ence to nonresident labor. We charge that a majority of those go- ing through the picket line at the Ketehikan Packing company plant this morning are recent arrivals from the states and are not resi- dents"
 She added, We still insist on peaceful negotiations and peaceful picketing. Those FilipinOs are not going through the bunk house to work. a
 This is the first time the eannery workers ever have been organized and had the backing that we have today"
 Many Of the pickets told The Chronicle that they wanted peace full picketing, and that they had warned one another to avoid viol- anee of any kind. They admitted that many of the piekets are out siders who have been in Ketchikan a very short time but they said the outsiders are merely lending moral support to the local union, adding that the local union in their opinion deserves support.
 Two or three union members de- nied that employees of the Northern Fisheries had paid dues to the CIo union on the strength of an informal agreement by which the cannery agreed to abide by any decision fi-
