Divorce Actions Set New Record In Local Courts

Divorce suits make up more than half the actions filed in su- perior court for return in Ocot- Der. Of the 47 cases which filed in September, "A are divorce peti- tions. The actions are rteurnable to court next week.
 In common pleas court there are 40 suits returnabIe in October. Among them are a number of foreclosure actions, several negli- gence suits and several common count writs.
 The 47-case total for superior court is higher than usual, eSpe- ciaIIy since the long period for filing cases for return to court in September ended only a month ago.
 Divorce cases are higher in number for October than they have been in several years. Wives are plaintiffs in most of the ac- tions and intolerable cruelty is the most common ground cited against the defendants.
 In addition, eight divorce cases, all uncontested, are listed on the short Calendar docket for tomOr- row. They will be heard by Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan. Wives are plaintiffs in five of the divorce hearings listed for tomorrow, and husbands make the allegations in the other three.

 23RD ANNIVERSARY
Popular Florist Has Had Successful Career-Na-
 tiOnally Affiliated

Twenty-three years of successful business in Waterbury is being eel ebrated by the shop of Leary, the Florist, now located at 24 East Main street, in the Brown building. The concern, one of the most outStand- ing of its kind in Waterbury, was begun almost quarter of century ago and from modest beginnings has reached its leading place in the florist business field of Connecticut.
 The Leary shop was first started in small shop on South Main street. Later it moved to East Main street at a location just east of the present store. When the Brown building was erected Leary, the Florist, was one of the first to sign a lease in the modern structure.
 Leary, the Florist, is @ fellow of the American society of Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists and the national organization of Florist Tel egraph Delivery. The floral displays on hand at the store of the com- pany on East Main street are rated among the foremost in New Eng land. The floral supply represents the pick of the leading greenhouses of the United States.

Popular Agency's | End Anniversary

One of Waterbury's most pro- gressive business firms in the tire, automotive service and accessory field, Driscoll-St. Louis, Inc, of Meadow street, who are local dis tributors for Firestone products, today celebrate their second anni- verSar7
 The proprietors, Daniel T. Dris- coll and Laurence St. Louis open ed their doors just two years ago today, October 1st, 1884 and at that time pledged themselves to give to the motoring public of Waterbury and vicinity, the finest possible service in the tire and accessory line. Their amazing suc- cess is due not only to the fact that they have concentrated on the famous Firestone line of tires, tubes, batteries and accessories, but also because of the fact that this firm has always been on the alert to offer the utmost in court esy and service throughout all their business transactions.
 Over a year ago this firm found it necessary to enlarge its quar- ters and add a large, mOdernly equipped garage where it is pos sible to give motorists complete automobile service from top to tire. DriscOll-St. Louis also own and operate 8 modern filling station, located directly opposite their main store on Meadow street and now offer to the public auto mobile service in all it's branches.

NEW YORK TIMES
 BACKS PRESIDENT

New York, Oct. 1.-(UP)-The New York Times announced today that it would support President Roosevelt for reelection.
 In a two-column editorial, the newspaper criticised "the narrow nationalism" of the republican party and gave three considerations, which it regards as dominant, that entered into its decision.
 They were:
 |. The president is keen enough judge of public opinion to make his second administration more con- servative than his first.
 "2. The presidents reelection will provide insurance against radi- calism of the sort which the United States has most to fear. ..
 8. The narrow nationaliSm for which the republican party stands today is in itself a policy, which, if put into force, would carry us rap idly in the direction of both regi- mentation and radicalism.

 Asked if there were any trouble at the plant in regard to the closed shop question, he said: "There is no such dispute as far as I know" From other sources, 1t was reported that the negotiations have been underway for at least several days.
 Philip LipshitZ, president of the company, was not in the city today.
 A report that employees were seek ing not onily closed shop but wage increases was also heard today, but was lacking in official confirma- tion.
 Most of the employees of the Wa tertown Undergarment Corpora tion are members of the Interna- tional Ladies Garment Workers Union. They joined the organiza- tion while engaged last year in a strike, which was afterward settled by arbitration. Union officials are understood to be playing promi- nent part in the present negotia- tions.
 The company came to this city from Watertown, where it was To- cated originally. The need for larger quarters and room for ex- pansion of facilities were cited as reasons for the move. Since last years strike, the union has been strong at the Mill street plant.

 Visited Here
 Local residents will recall during the war period when by public sub- scriptions the 304th Infantry, Brass City youths and their comrades, were brought from Camp Devens to Waterbury for weekend visit. Shortly afterwards they sailed for over there.
 Organization and history of the regiment are outlined in a memor- andum prepared by Lieutenant Colonel R. G. Sherrard, adjutant general of the 76th Division, Organ ized Reserves, and sent to all re- serve offices of the 304tf. His me- morandum follows in part:
 'The 304th Infantry Regiment, 8 unit of the 152nd Infantry Brigade, 76th Division, American Expedition ary Forces, was organized during August ,1917, at Camp Devens, Mass, where it trained until July 2, 1918. Sailing from Boston, the regiment landed in England and then crossed to Le Havre, France, on July 27, 1918. It was demobilized January 20, 1919, at Camp Devens, Mass.
 'The 3O4th Infantry earned no battle honors but is entitled to credit for service in France from July 27, 1918, to November Il, 1913.
 Consolidated
 "In order to perpetuate the his- tory of the BOA infantry Regiment, it is hereby reconstructed and con- solidated with the 304th Infantry, Organized Reserves, which was con- stituted as a unit of the First Corps Area"
 Lieutenant Colonel Anson T. Mo- Cook of Hartford and Major George L. Prindle, now of the Regular Army and formerly from Connecti- cut, were among those who served with the 304th Infantry Regiment during the war.

DYING. DRIVER ROBBED!
Wallet Badge Taken from Operator in Fatal Bus Crash Company Collects for Missing Tokens
 May Quiz Volunteer Workers

A ghouIish aftermath to the Cheshire road bus tragedy of Sept. IF in which three were killed and two others fatally in- jured came today when mem bers of the family of the driver, John F. O'Donnell, told The Democrat that the wallet which the bus operator had carried in his pocket had not been returned to them and was apparently stolen. O'Donnell's Connecticut Co.,, badge, they said, was stripped from his cap and has likewise not been found.
 Though members of the family said they did not wish to com ment on a report that more than $2O was subtracted from O'Don- nelps final check to cover 9 num- Der of tokens either lost or picked up by members of the crowd which flocked to the scene, it was confirmed from other sources. After the crash tokens valued at $22 or $23 were missing, and sum equalling their value was de- ducted from O'Donnell's final pay check, sent to his mother.
 Relatives said today that they did not know how much money : O'Donnell had in the wallet which was apparently taken from his

pocket as he lay niOrtally injured at the scene of the accident, en-. deavOring to direct rescue workers in removing the injured and killed. It is possible also that the wallet slipped from the driv- CTS pocket in the confusion of the tragedy and was picked up by some curiosity seeker.
 Coroner John T. Monzani, to whom were turncC over several purses and personal articles found at the scene, said that the wal let had not been given to him and that he diG not know that it had been stolen. The family has taken no action on the ghastly theft, having been too up- set from the shock of the death of their son and brother.
 Any investigation that is made will be up to Cheshire authorities since the accident happcned in that town. It is expected that Cheshire c0nstables will begin inn mediate questioning of early ar rivals at the scene to see if any clues to the loss of the gallant drivers wallet can be unearthed.
 No trace of the badge has been found, it having obviously been ripped from the drivers cap by some morbid souvenir hunter,

TNHE large greenhouse chrys-

the product of intensive culture
throughout the Summer. Starting
with cuttings in early Spring, the for
st carefully nourishes each plant
through a succession Of pots. Each
plant is permitted to develop but one
flower bud so that all the energy OF
the plant may 60 to the production
of one monstrous bloom. Certain
home gardeners have learned that
the same practice may be followed
out of doors, provided that one choose
varieties which are hardy. For many
years a home gardener in the Ameri-

excellent chrysanthemums by the sim

near a window where the young shoots

Of the chrysanthemun shoots. These
may be killed readily with pyrethrum
or nicotine materials. obtainable from
any garden supply store.
This appears to have been severe
year on chrysanthemum foliage, for
many plants are now defoliated at the
base. One might have overcome this
defect by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture three or four times during
the growing season. The worst ef-
feet of the defoliation is on the young
plants which are now coming up
about the base Of the old clumps.
These youngsters gather nutrients
from the old plant until it dies.
The hardy chrysanthemums are now
coming into their own in the garden
and will be about the final flower crop
of the year. There is a wonderful
variety of colors and forms, covering
a period of six or more weeks. In
fact, some of the tiny button varieties

II you happen to be the type OF
person who likes to work around the
house making repairs here and there,
building in book cases, radio cabinets
and other conveniences, you should
investigate the remarkable new work.
shop appliances which are now avail
able at very low cost.
Almost all men and a number of
women, too, harbor secret desire to
build something useful that will look
like a professionally article.
They treasure the idea of some day
having workshop Of their own
tucked down in a corner of the base
ment, and after a few skillful ma
nipulations of a power driven ma
chine, they can bring forth some work
Of art that will be the envy of all
who gaze upon it. 1t isn't quite as
easy as all that. but it still is amaz-
ing how many handsome things can
be turned out on these new devices.
The man who lives in an apart
ment and wants to do these things
has been pretty well tied down in the
past because of the size of the ma
chimes which were required to do the
work and the limited space he has
available. He couldn't very well build
an elaborate work bench in the bath
room or kitchen upon which to mount
his machinery, and any sort Of a
portable bench would have been too
big to permit easy movement around
a room even in a folded up condition.
Heartfelt desires of this sort aren't
held down indefinitely, however, and
