Suits for Shinwrecks

Since the tragedy of the Titanic hun dreds of ideas and inventions have been brought before shipping companies and the Board of Trade authorities, with the object of minimizing the risk of life at sea, says it-Bits. Perhaps the most in genious of these ideas is a device which takes the form of a combination of life belt and suit made of watertight canvas. which enveops the whole person. The suit has sleeves ending in gloves, and there is a port-hole in the head. which can be closed when the weather Is rough. When this port-hole is closed air enters through a tube above the head this tube being so constructed that no water can enter.
 ed that a passenger might be thrown into md-Atlantie and live in comfort for many days, while waiting to be picked up, for the suit can be equipped with sufficient food and drink to keep a shpwrecked passenger alive for a week or more.
 A man woman using this device stands with feet in a sort of bueke which forms the base. This bucket takes in a certain quantity of water, which acts as ballast and keeps the life-saver and it's occupant upright.
 Furthermore, the apparatus Is provided with a revoler and signal lights with which the shipwrecked passenger can signal for help by day or night. Att tached to the apparatus are ropes by which two or three people can keep themselves afloat if they have not the good fortune to have one of these life saving suits.
 The suit is the invention of a German named Gustave Heinrich, and he declares that it will deprive shipwreck of all it's terrors in all circumstances.

ALABAMA CORN CROP IS BELOW HE YIELD
 OF PRECEDING YEARS
Estimated Yield for Season Will Be IS Per Cent-LOng
 and Unusual DrOuth Responsible

Montgomery July I-(Special.) flowing to the long and unusual drought in certain sections of the state. Alahama's corn crop this year will be considerably below the yield of preceding years the estimated yield for the season, us indicated by the condition of the crop on July i and final yields in preceding years being IS per cent. This low percentage will give Ala hama the third lowest average of all the corn growing states.
 The above estimate of the corn crop for the year 1914 is taken from the latest report of the department of agriculture and industries During the past week de partment officials have been carefully collecting statistics relative to crop con dtions, and the departments latest re- port was compiled from figures sent in by correspondents and demonstrators Tn all parts of the state.
 The oat crop is reported to be fairly good. though below that of some other years.
 According to the latest report of the de- partment, the farmers of the state are showing a growing tendency to keep abreast of the times in the adoption or modern methods. Bur and crimson clover are growing in popular favor. and there is stronger tendency towards stock raising.
 Tho department reports good cotton crop. and calls upon the farmers of the state to unite in a determined effort to kill the boil weevil.

LAW COURSE AT . THE UNIVERSITY MAY BE EXTENDED Committee on Admission to Bar Suggests Course Be Extended to Three
 Years

Montgomery, July 11.--(Special )-Grad- dates of the law department of the Uni versity of Alabama will continue to be admitted to the bar upon presentation of their diplomas The fight to require holders of law diplomas to. stand the state bar examination was begun before the members of the bar association early Saturday morning, when Lawrence Lee read the report of the committee on legal education and admission to the bar, of which he is the chairman. The re- ort. however, embodied the views of a very few members. and it was promptly filed
 Chairman Lee suggested that if admis- sion to the bar on diplomas from the university is to be continued that three years course in legal training be required.
 Without intending to indulge in any criticism of the university law school. ' said the report '1t is recommended that If admission to the bar on diploma from the school is continued in force the au- thorities institute as early as prac- ticable three-year course in instruction and that more attention be given to the practical application of our system of pleading and practice"
 The committee further recommends that the board of examiners of law applicants be composed of members of the univer- sity faculty and one able attorney to be appointed by the chief justice of the supreme court that examinations be con ducted at midterms and final examina- tions of the school and that admissions to the bar be based on certificates from the board, whether or not the applicants be students of the university.
 Chairman Lee in his report made other recommendations to the effect that all applicants be required to present certifi- cates of good character; that they present satisfactory evidence of having obtained a high school education, or it's equiva- lent, and that the law be modified so as to require them to study law A months instead of IS.
 The committee further recommended that if an applicant is found cheating or has falsified the certificate that he be debarred from standing the examina- tions, or if he has stood such examina- tions successfully that he be denied li- censes and not permitted to again take the examination

For the second crop of potatoes the whole totato should be used for seed. The rows for potatoes should be three feet apart and the seed should be dropped F inches apart in the row.
 Turnips
 Early turnips can be sown this month tJuly). The rows should be three feet wide and the seed planted in the drill and covered not more than one-half inch deep
 If turnips are grown for salads. the plants need not be thinned but may be allowed to grow thiekly in the row: if grown for their roots. they should be thinned to three or four inches apart in the row as soon as the plants are large enough to remove.
 One ounce of seed will plant 17S feet Of drill
 Tomatoes
 Plants for a late crop may be set out the latter part of this month tJuly) and during the first of August. In planting. the plants may be checked three feet apart each way. Where the plants are pruned and trained to stakes, they may be planted 10 to IS inches apart in rows three feet apart If the plants are long and "lasgy' they should be planted deep- ly. The plants should be watered if the soil Is dry.

The Fireflv

From the Indianapolis News
 Through the last week above the green grass of the lawn, the night has been filled with twinkling lights as though there was a search being made with Ian terms for some insect felon by the little gardians of the lives and properties of bugdom. These flashing lanterns are carried by a strange little beetle, the lightning bug, or firely, which emits from the underside of the body an inter mittent phosphorescent light. This beetle is little more than half an inch long. The arIstocratic member of the family are the large tropical species, two inches long-the firefiies of the West Indies and of Central and South America. These have two elliptical eye-liSe spots on the underside of the body that are phospho- rescent and emit, 1t is said, light enough to enable one to read thereby. This is the illuminant which Cuban ladies sew into gauge and use as ornaments for their dresses and for their hair.

Lettuce

Lettuce
 Sow the seed In rich moist soil. being careful not to cover them more than about one-fourth of an inch deep. The rows should be IS inches apart, and the plants should be thinned to to 12 inches apart in the row. When the plants are about three inches high, they may be transplanted to the permanent rows in the garden. Transplanted lettuce usually heads better than that which Is produced without transplanting. For late lettuce, the thinning may be transplanted and the remaining plants to be allowed to grow, at the proper distance in the row.
 Irish Potatoes
 In the south. a second crop of potatoes can be grown For best results this should be planted immediately after the first crop is harvested. The seed from the first crop should be used.
 It is well to use early varieties for the second crop rather than late ones. as the season for maturing is rather short. because of dry weather in the late sum mer, it is often advisable to cover the second crop of potatoes with a layer of leaves or straw, known as mulch. in order to prevent the moisture from eyap- orating from the soil too rapidly.
