DOGWOOD (Hartford 'Courant)

The dogwood was once a proud, straight tree that lowered over its neighbcrs in the forest. But they cut 1t down and built the Cross of its wood; since then it has been small and misshapen, so that it cannot again be used for that dreadful pur- pose, and it's white flowers have been in the form of a cross bearing bloody fingerprints. So runs one of many legends linking various trees to the wood of which the True Cross was made.
 Before many days, we shall see the story of the dogwood flowers again fulfilled. Even now, the leaves are sprouting and the buds, which

Getting rid of the Isolation Hospital, though, would be good move in view of the fact that the building is steadily de- teriorating and no one can agree upon a good way of putting it to use. It's too bad the city had to stand the expense for so many years, but we would have such an institution. That may be said to be one of the penalties of hiring an outside health official. You may get good results, but you can also get some bad ones, too.

 The girls suggested they go into one of the automaton shops on Broadway, where a piano was available. On this piano Kent and Brandow scaled of Hold Tight, Hold-Tight, Hold-Tight, Hold-Tight-Foo to Nagasacki," and so on.
 The automatic shop put it on a record. The boys admitted they hand't created the '1ick," but had card 1t "either in New York or Philadelphia in some club, played by negro band"
 Next step in the evolution of the song took place in Pilly. The Andrews were appearing in vau- deville. The two writers" came backstage and suggested to the girls that something further be done on the original Click" And thus the tune was sent on its way, its lyrics complete.
 Soon after the song became the novelty hit of the season, a Broad- way columnist'S hint that some of the words were Harlem double talg for naughtiness caused the networks to ban the song. New lyric writers were called in to temper. the innuendo.
 The result is that several dozen people now are credited as its authors.

 Never knew how strong hold Artie Shaw, the swing king, had on the nation until he fell crit- ically ill in California. His friends and admirerS are relieved at his recovery. But Shaw's illness, al- mos rubbing out what many con- slider to be an extraordinary talent, reminds us that other potential greats were not so fortunate.
 Consider the brilliant Vernon Castle, for instance. The life of the famous dancing star was snuffed out over a field in Texas on the site of an army training ground for aviators.
 There is the tragic instance of lovely Dorothy Dell, who died in an automobile accident on the eve of new and impressive contract with Paramount.

Church Visits
Wade Blackburn
In County Jail
Escaped Convict Still De.
cIareS He is Not Guilty of
the Mysterious Shooting

Enoch Church, of Fleetwood,
who was shot and seriously
wounded by an unknown party
or parties a short time ago, has
recovered from his severe pistol
shot wounds and is now living
with Fred Greer, one of his
neighbors.
During the past week Sheriff
Ed Miller took him to the coun-
ty Jail to see Wade Blackburn,
who is being held for shooting the
59-year-old man.
Church recognized Blackburn
as he had seen him a few days
before the shooting occurred, at
the home of Niley McNeill where
Church went to get a haircut,
Sheriff Miller said.
Sheriff quoted Church as hav-
ing asked Blackburn why he shot
him and said the escaped convict
declared that he wasn't the man.
No new arrests have been
made, but Sheriff Miller says he
can convict Blackburn with the
evidence he now has. The case
will probably be tried next
month. Sheriff is of the opinion
that robbery was the motive in
volved in the shooting.

cided upon by the solons which
is of major importance is the
wage-and-hour legislation.
The 1887 law, which set maxi
mum work-hours for men and
women at SIS and 48 hours week
respectively, was riddled with
exemptions. There is a possibili-
ty that the bill drafted by the
sub-group Of the joint labor
committee may remove the ex-
emptions and possibly lower the
maximum Work-hours.
Among the county bills which
attracted much attention this
week was Wilkes county's Sena-

to set up a recorders court. It
was protested by democrats led
by Sheriff Doughton and was
given an unfavorable report by
