morning sun with alert faces. To-
ward noon, they begin to withdraw
within the calyx, soon "diSsolvine
into tears" Some have called the
flowers widows tears" because ot
the tendency to weep.
Tomorrow, there will be manv
lovely flowers facing the sun, and
this procession is from May until
August. 1t is for this reason that
the plant is so popular, and, besides,
blue is an unusual color among
flowers and a favorite with insects,
The blossoms are in clusters or
umbels on slender stems, one-half
to 2 inches long. They are pur-
pllsh blue. occasionally white and
from l to 2 inches wide. There
are three small sepals and three
large, obovate identical petals. The
six equal-length stamens are fertile
Because the stigma is we'll beyond
the reach of the anthers. it is be-
lieved the flower cannot possibly
fertllize itself. Therefore. it is de-
pendent upon insect partners for
exchange Of pollen.
These flowers are held aloft by q
sturdy stem often reaching a height
of 3 feet. The long dark green
blade-like leaves are IL inches wide
and often a foot long.
The seed children mature in a
three-cell capsule. These future
spiderworts will escape from their
cloister and find place in the sol
in which to sink their roots. Given
spot in your Wild-hower garden
they will attract the attention OF
flower lovers and gay, industrious
insects of many species.

land of his boyhood to spend the
rest of his life.
The emperor was Diocletian, and
he was born on the eastern side
of the Adriatic Sea. That part Of
the world IS known as Dalmatia and
has been in the news of late.
One thing which made Diocletian
sick and tired" was fighting. No
matter how hard he tried to end
warfare, it seemed that new fight
ing broke out at one place or an
other. Attacks would be made on
the border of the empire, or a civil
war would break out in some prov
ince.
Diocletian was born in a poor
family. One of his grandfathers had
been slave. Joining the Roman
army In his young manhood, he
rose to be commander of the royal
bodyguards. These troops had the
special duty of watching over the
life of the man who was ruling the
eastern side of the Roman Empire.
This man was murdered and the
Roman soldiers chose Diocletian to
take his place.
Carinus, the emperor who ruled
the western side of the empire, did
not like the idea of Diocletian TAX
ing power. Marching against him
with an army, he fought a battle
in the heart of the Balkan region.
Carinus died during, or shortly
after, this battle.
Diocletian became the only ruler
of the empire and called himself
Augustus" He started a new sys-
tenn of taxes, and made laws to
hold down both prices and wages.
Soon Diocletian gave the western
part of his empire to another man,
who ruled from the city of Milan,
not from Rome.
Diocletian, himself, spent his
time chiefly in Asia Minor. He was
so years old when he decided it
was too much trouble to be an
emperor. He built a palace at
Spalato. on the shore of the Adri-
attic, and lived there during the last
eight years of his life. Spalato Is
called Split by the Yugoslavs.

From a close relative then resid-

in the garden. The beautiful deep
azure flowers appealed to all who
saw them. Soon, the American
plant was seen gracing the special
gardens of Europe.
In the rich moist woods, gardens
and thickets from southern New
York, Ohio and South Dakota south
to Virginia and Arkansas, Jobs
tears beautify every spot they have
chosen. In the North, this is a
common plant in cultivation, and
many times there are gay pioneers
which escape from the restricted
area, establishing themselves in the
fenceroWs and along the roadsides.
The blossoms of Jobs tears have

SNYDER FUNERAL
HOME RENOVATED
Public Invited to Inspect
Willow Street ParlOrs
Today, Tomorrow

Waterburians were invited today
as we'll as tomorrow to pay a visit
to the new Snyder funeral home,
ia Willow street, which formally
opened today after elaborate reno
vations. The home was the for
mer residence of the James E. Rus
sell family of which Rosalind Rus
sell of motion picture fame, is a
member. The dwelling is one of
hte most pretentious in the western
section of the city. With its at
tractive canopy extending from the
curb to main entrance it is now
one of the most conspicuous of the
many fine homes along Willow
street.
The former Bailey g. Snyder I'M
dertaking firm will be known in the
future as the Snyder funeral home
with Raymond E. Snyder directing
all professional activities.
The new funeral home is one of
the finest in the state. Its quiet
dignity and solemnity will provide
the background for the efficient,
sympathetic services a family in its
hour of sorrow look for an appreci-
ate.
The public is invited to call to-
day and tomorrow and inspect the
new home.

Liquor prices are due for an over

The butter margarine fight is due
to get hot again soon. Margarine
manufacturers are about to open a
big campaign to educate consumers
on the nutritive value of their pro-
duct and to repeal the present dis
criminatory Federal taxes on mar
garine.
Congress already has before 1t a
bill which would knock out such
Federal taxes as that Of 10 cents a
pound on colored margarine, $500
year on manufacturers OF the pro-
duct, and $3.50 a year on wholesal-
ers of colored margarine. The pre-
sent fight will probably differ from
past battles in that many farm
consyessmen who represent cotton
seed and soypean districts now will
vote a repeater so long as it doesn't
disturb the tariff on imported fats.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-31

The only possible hindrance to a
harmonious session Monday evening
on the appointment will be the
question whether Miss Doran will
be part time teacher as we'll as
dean. She has been engaged for
several years in vocational guidance
work and for the duration may be
asked to continue as dean with the
official recognition from the school
board
Commissioner Alonzo Grace, state
commissioner of education, has been
quoted as being greatly in favor of
the appointment of a dean. He also
admits that part-time appoint
ment would be preferable under
some circumstances. Due to the
war it is believed that registration
in the upper classes of high schools
in Connecticut will drop about Is
per cent next September. Young
men are service conscious, while
young women are finding business
and factory opportunities too tempt
ing to resist.
IL 10 ChpCttCd
members of the board to obtain VIC
tory in the controversy will argue for
the appointment of a full-time dean
and will support Miss Doran. Demo-
Gratis will support Miss Doran's APP
pointment, but may take the posi-
ton that in view of the emergency
and in the interest of economy for
the duration the dean should per-
form her duties on part time basis
with the assurance that when nor
malcy" returns she will he given the
appointment on full-time scale.
Chairman Raymond Stone has
been quoted as saying that he has
received a letter from Commissioner
Grace and shares many of the views
outlined.
Commissioner Harry c. Post, Re-
publican, who was the first member
to propose the appointment of a
dean and who is member of that
committee, has not been in town for
some time and could not be con-
tacted.
Commissioner Francis P. Barnes
is reported as in favor of appoint
ing a dean, but in view of the I'M
certainty of registration in fall, is
of the opinion that the part-time
basis feature should be given serious
consideration.
Mrs. Anna Hadden, member of
the board, HIS also been reported in
favor of an appointment and has
been quoted as addressing women's
clubs to that effect
Commissioner John Kearney has
been advocating an appointment.
Superintendent Thomas j. Con-
don, however, will submit recon-
mendation which may or may not
touch off the verbal pyrotechnics'
on whether Miss Doran will be full
time dean or part-time for the dura-
| ton.

DlMOUT RULES
VIOLATED HERE
Army Inspectors Reported
DispIeased With City's
Observance

Drastic action will soon be taken
to punish the local dimout violators
Martin C. O'Rourke, chairman of
the dimout committee, announced
today with reference to the Army's
reported dissatisfaction OF diniout
regulation maintenance in Water
bury.
The local War Planning Board
received the letter of complaint yes
terday from Richard f. Stampson
of the Connecticut War Council. 1t
specifically stated that Army repre-
sentativeS had been in the city on
an inspection tour, unheralded, and
had prepared list of dimout viola
tors.
The majority of these concern
stores which permitted lights to
CLEAN into the street when the
doors were open. The fault Is that
either there should be blackout
curtains back of the door. or else
the lights should be SO shaded that
their glow will not reach beyond the
doorway.
The letter also indicated that the
dimout engineering service OF the
state council is working with local
factories to help them install better
dimout paraphernalia.
During the meeting, Mayor Mon
agan called attention to the state
wide field exercises to fake place
August between 1870 and p. m.
during which there will be day
light imaginary air raid, with all
traffic stopped for certain period
sometimes curing those hours. and
during which there will be many
incidents, such as simulated bomb
ing, casualties, ETC., which will re-
quire the mobilizing of all the
branches of the Civilian Defense Or
CARNATIONS.
More volunteers for the control
center are urgently needed, said
Thorvald E. Olsen, and added that
it is losing volunteer workers week.
