watering should be done from the
bottom-that is, set the pot in
water when the soil seems dry and
allow the pot to absorb water from
the bottom until the entire earth
ball is saturated. Water applied
from the top would cause the
crown to rot. Never allow water
to touch the leaves or crown Of
the plant.
Greenhouse Method
I find an excellent means OF
keeping the surrounding air suffi,
GENTLY moist is to set the pot in
larger pot containing damp peat
moss. Then all that is necessary
between weekly waterings is to
keep the peat moss damp, thus

It was submitted as news. It tells of the festive spirit of . new "anti- sociap organization that Is anti. female, SO the publicity director says. Here's the news what Is news:

av A wArRnnURx FIREMAN

Waterbury flremen, NauWAtuck firemen, Wolcott fiYeInen and all other nearby ilreSnen or their rep- resensatives, will "frolic" for the mex two days in Derby, a city Of itself of our own New Haven county, with an area of about $500 acres, once a town before 1t was gobbled up by the city, and noted for ies manufacture of pins, heavy castings, forging, keys and boxes, and ma. chinery. The town itself is so old that no one in authority just seems to know when 1t was organized. But 1t had plenty of Indians in its day. They padded along the smooth wa- ters of the old Housatonic, when the Red men, and not the White men, controlled the rivers and brooklets of the valley.
 No Indians!
 old Derby hasn't seen Q real Inc dian in years. And 1t won't see any, either during the two days that fire- men from all parts of the state will be present in attendance at the an. nual convention of the Connecticut association. The convention will open in city hall at Il o'clock to- morrow morning. The business will run into Saturday noon. Tn the af- ternoon, and old fashioned fire pa- rade will be held under the manage. ment of the Derby Fire department.
 Waterbury hasn't missed these ccrl- ventions in the 5G years the associa- has been in existence. Tn the old days, each company of volunteers was represented. Now each company of regular or permanent members represent Waterbury.
 The night shift is going down al- most to a man. The run Is short and they'll have plenty of time in which to return in time for the regular reporting hour.
 Chief Thomas P. Cavanaugh will head the Waterbury delegation. He's prominent in the affairs of the as. sociation, and always has been. With others before the convention proper he will join in the meeting of the Chiefs club wherein questions of importance concerning fire depart ments procedure will be discussed.

Patrolman John "Jingles" Dona- hue of the traffic squad is think ing seriously these days of hir- ing c business manager. A few weeks ago he received an offer to appear on the Believe It Or Not" program of Robert L. Ripley. And now he has an offer from Phil lips Lord, known to radio fans as Seth Parker" to appear as a guest on the latter's We the Peo. pie" program in the fall.
 The radio offers follow the wide publicity given "Jingles" for the verses which he wrote and placed on cars in lieu of parking tags. Patrolman Donahue believes that c first offender against parking regulations should be given a break" and SO he gives a poetic warning rather than c ticket to the violator.

John E. Graham of the bureau of fire alarm. Election to this office means the presidency a year hence. Brother Graham will have several opposing him, but Waterbury hopes to be able to land its candidate. Private Graham is a much fraternal man, somewhat similar to the late Matt. Smith and Bob Palmer. He's an Elk, a past president of the Eagles, 6 member of the Busy Bees, past inside beadle of "The Endeavors" and numerous other bodies we are unable to know. He has studied parliamentary procedure 90 much that some of his friends de- clare that neither Gushing nor Rob- erts, noted authorities of the past, exceeded him in this respect.
 He was such a keen follower of the late noted Senator Tom Walsh of Montana that he always uses the term or phrase credited to the dis tinguished statesman, and never al- lows c speaker to proceed, until he has answered his query, For what purpose does the gentleman arise"

 Even the not-so- expectations have no great liking for Friday the 18th. So tomorrow they'll be on the lookout TOT black cats, and ladders in the street. and two.doiiar bills, etc.

 Her first novel. the valley of de. cision, was published in 1902, but she was not widely recognized as . novelist until the house of rnirth appeared and was followed within . few years by Ethan Prone.
 Mrs. Wharton virtually retired to Paris in 1906, but continued her writings which were interrupted only by her war relief work for which sine was decorated by both France and Belgium. After the war her novel the age of innocence, published in 1920. won her c pu. iitzer rsize.

Waterbury men at camp for their excellent showing.
 Among other visitors yesterday was Col. Orville Petty, who was known back in the war days as "The Fighting Parson" of the 102nd infantry overseas. A regilnental parade was held in honor of both guests who spoke to the men and told them they represented an irn- portant branch of the national gov- ernment and should carry on the tradition of the regiment to which they have been at the camp for four days, are already beginning to show the effects of the sun and wind with their tanned faces and arms.
 Earlier in the day yesterday the members of Co. A, B, c, and D were engaged in a long session of field activities and combat firing prob- lems. Extended order drill has tak- en up most of the time of the Wa terbury men so far and in short time they feel they will all be mili- tary technicians and strategists of the first order. The 2nd and 3rd battalions took part in company and platoon drill at camp yesterday.

ham in their ofIicial chair, proper procedure and decorum will be the rule throughout, as it has been under the various men who have presided during these many years.
 Mayor To Attend
 Next in line in importance at the convention will be our own Dick Crean of Engine co. No. 1, Burton street. Dick is the president of the Waterbury Firemen's Aid associa- tion, and also the ofiicial delegate of his company. Dick is at the head of @ committee made up of Maurice Noonan of Engine c. No. 8, and Little Johnny English of Engine co. No. 5. When we get a committee like these three arranging for our entertainment, you can wager every detail will be looked after. They are to have dinner for the Water- bury delegation at the Elks' club house during the noon recess of the convention. It's really an honor din- ner to Mayor Hayes, who will attend the convention upon invitation of the Derby firemen, and address the delegates as he has done during the past several years.
 Mayor Hayes is known personally to almost every firemen delegate, since the memorable state firemens convention in Waterbury in 1884. According to the visitors, no conven- ton ever reached "the tops" like Waterbury, and when the mayor de- livered his talk at Elks' hall, the del- egates unanimously passed a vote seeking his presence at the coming and all conventions he could pos- sibly attend.
 About 50 are expected to be pres- ent at the dinner.
