A MODERN PORTIA
To Miss Lucille Pugh. the criminal
lawyer of New York. belongs the dis
tinction of being the first of her sex
to defend a man accused of murder
This honor Miss Pugh accepts with
the same unassuming frankness that
characterized her conduct in the de
fense of Leroy Poindexter. the negro.
whom she saved from the electric
chair.
Thanks to the skill with which
Miss Pugh handled the case the first
jury disagreed, and at the second trial
she obtained a verdict of manslaughter
in the second degree.
When trying her now famous case,
Miss Pugh made a remarkable picture
Standing but an inch over five feet,
her auburn hair parted at the side and
drawn tightly around her shapely
head, her brown eyes glancing from
the tense face of the accused negro to
the jury of twelve white men, her
right hand outstretched in an appeal
ing manner toward them, her left in
dicating the prisoner, she subtly sought to force into the minds of her hear
ers the innocence of the man she was defending. One of the best-known
court officials, who has attended for the last twenty years all the notable
criminal trials in New York, stated that in his opinion, her defense was the
most capable he had ever heard.
HEAD OF ITALY'S NAVY
Prince Louis of Savoy. duke of the
Abruzzi, admiral of the fleet of Italy.
is known to Americans largely through
the American associations of his in
teresting career. He has made several
visits to this country, one of them
resulting In a love affair which, after
world-wide publicity, left the duke
still a bachelor.: He is distinguished
as an explorer and mountain climber,
and at the time of the earthquake
which destroyed Messina, as well as
last January, when Avezzano and its :
vicinity were roughly shaken, he was
a leader in relief work.
From his earliest youth the duke
has made his life one of activity and
of service. He entered the navy and
eame to the United States on board
as. Italian warship when he was eight
eas years old. He became so inter.
sated on his frst trip here thPt he re
turned some five or six years later,
iand then he came again about ten
years ago. On this latter tour of the
ouantry it was persistently rumored that he and Miss Katherine Elkins,
daughter of the West Virginia senator, were engaged to be married.
The duke of Abruszl won more renown as an explorer and climber of
' mountain peaks than in any other of the pursuits to which he had given
,attention. He ascended Mount Elias, Alaska, made his way to a height of
24,1000 feet, the greatest on record, in the Himalayas, and he penetrated far
> bto the recesses of the Uganda district of Africa.
Italy's sea chief is only forty-two years old. He is more like an Ameri
ea business man in appearance than a European naval officer.
OUR NEW SUBMARINE CHIEF
Germany's remarkable develop
ment of submarine warfare has I
aroused the interest and action of I
every civilized nation, and the United t
States is not behind others in recog- I
nixing its importance. In order to de- e
velop the undersea arm of the Amer.
lean navy and to eliminate its pres- 3
eant faults, Secretary Daniels has des- f
ignated Capt. A. W. Grant, one of the t
highest ranking officers of his grade, t
to command the Atlantic submarine a
flotilla and exercise genersal superv. c
slon over that branch of the service. '
He already has got under way an II
the submarine flotilla in flrst-class
condition to perform all of the fuc-e.

much of his time Is spent in Wash

I these plants are food for more than
Stwo hundred different kinds of insects.
A hundred or more are predaceous or
parasitic on these clover insects, or
else feed on animal or vegetable mat
ter in the soil of the clover field.
No part.of the plant escapes attack.
The roots are eaten by the larvae and
the beetles of the root-borer, as well
as by those of half a dozen other
species, and are drained of their sap
by the mealy bug. The stem is hol
lowed out by the common stem-borer.
Clover Root Borer-Beetle, Larva and
Pupa.
Both the stems and the leaves are
pierced by many hemipterous insects, a
especially aphids and Jassids, and are
eaten by a great variety of caterpil
lars, beetles and grasshoppers, as are
also the heads of the flowers. The
is. ovule is destroyed by the maggot of
the seed-midge, and the developing
of seed is eaten out by the seed-chalcid.
Yen Even the hay is the special food of a
of certain caterpillar, hence called the
far clover hay worm.
Some of the insects of the clover
er- field are, of course, beneficial. Such
are those that pollinize the flowers
bumblebees and, to some extent, honey
bees, as well as those that act as
cheeks on the ifatrlous insects.
Most of the clover insects are not
limited to clover, but to other food
op. plants as well. The seed-midge and
has the seed-caterpillar are, however, con
of fined to the clovers, and the seed

srds reduce the crop of seed. The wors
irds injuries to the seed are insidious i
r of their nature, and are caused by I e
Ssects. These injuries are of thre
we classes: (1) Those of a negative kin
on due to lack of pollination. (2) Th
two positive injuries due to miscellaneou
two insects that eat clover heads in an in
Ialf cidental way. (3) The postive injuries
caused by insects that feed solely upon
ling clover seeds or florets. The first two
er groups are relatively unimportant in
hat comparison with the last.
hat The importance of the bumblebee in
cts the pollination of red clover is so well
or established as to need no discussion.
or That of the honeybee, however, is not
t- sufficiently recognized. The honeybee
pollinizes clover to some extent, even
though its tongue Is two millimeters
ck. shorter than the average coralla tube.
end A field of red clover is always
er thronged with honeybees if any of
them are being kept' within a mile or
oap two of the place; and these bees se
er- cure nectar from flowers that are un
dersized, especially in times of
drought, when most of the flowers are
smaller than usual; also from flowers
that secrete a copious amou. t of nec
tar. "he bees, bumblebees especially,
should be protected always. They are
the best friends of the clover grower.
Early pasturing is the secret of a
good seed crop, as the growers in New
nd York, Ohio, Michigan and other states
have found. The explanation is alm
e ple. The fact is that pasturing gives
t a good seed crop for the reason that
it delays the heading of the plant until
ar- a time when the seed-midges and
e seed chalcids are no longer on the
he wing and laying eggs. When precau
tions are not taken against these
pests, they can be counted upon every
id. year to destroy most of the clover
seed. In some localities these two in

red clover seed every year without

L hindrance. The farmer gets only what
the insects leave. If he gets two
ii bushels of seed to the acre, the insects
have, perhaps, already eaten from two
to six bushels of the same acre.
g CARE FOR THE LITTLE CHICKS

New hatched chicks require special
food and care, especially during the

days old the following mixture should

t can ran to it at all times. Thirty
parts cornmeal, 20 parts wheat mid

finely eat gree hod.
As the chicks i.crease in size the
mixed chick food ean be replaced by
coarser grains. At this stage it may
be advisable to tbed a wet mash once
a day, about 4 p. m. The chicks

Hundreds of churches throughout
the country are now equipped with
all the machinery used for giving mov

which has aptly been called the si

cess in attracting large congregations.
A great variety of special films
have been prepared suitable for such

abject to his taste finds a surprising
variety to choose from. There are
fins suitable for sermons on all the
conmandments, as well as many of
the most familiar texts in the Ilible.
Steveral of the firms making a special
ty of such films issue regular cata
logqes to assist clergymen in select

The Polymuriel Garment.
Some ladies in New York are at
work just now hunting for the philoso
pher's stone. They claim to believe
that a "polymuriel" garment in femi
nine dress can be designed that will
suitably clothe every type of figure,
every age, for every occasion, every
day, from getting up to going to bed.
from the period when the girl first
comes out of the nursery till she goes
to her grave.
The philosopher never found the
mythical stone that could turn every
thing to gold. Clothes problems, like
the poor, will be with us always. There
are ways and means of eliminating
some of the problems, and it is pos
sible to reduce all fractions except the
"vulgar fractions" of mathematics to
their lowest terms.
But it is a foolish waste of time
and energy to hunt for the impossible.
And it is impossible to find one style
of dress suitable for everybody.
Nobody who is fastidious wishes to
wear one costume from early morning
till late at night. There is a positive
psychological benefit in the bath and
change of toilet that separate the
working hours of the day from the
hours of relaxation. Not even two (or
a collection of) "polymurtels" that
could be worn alternately would solve
our clothes needs. Suitable clothes

At Least Colored Man Was Sure of

An old negro man was standing by
a grassy yard in front of a Chinaman's
washhouse when a woman walked to
the street corner near by to board a

lifting his hat, politely said: "Lady.
can you tell me where I can obtain a

Hie held in his hand a loosely wrap

the edge of what was apparently a five

The lady replied that he might ask
the Chinaman for the Job of cutting
the grass. So the colored man bar- t
gaihed with the Chinaman to cut the
grass, for which he was to receive 25
cents.
Then it turns out that the Chinaman
'as no tools, and the colored man's
Iln mower is a long way off at his

it, forhe way is weary, the flesh tired.
Thdady finally suggested in a mat- t
