.. Pennsylvania Legislature ? Called o Vote Relief BY the Associated Press. HARRISBURG, Pa., April 30— Pennsylvania's Legislature, assem- bling Monday for the 22d special session in its history, will be asked to provide millions for relief, and act on 10 other matters. Gov. Arthur H. James men- tioned his plan of relief financing only generally when he issued his formal call yesterday for what he hoped would be a “harmonious” two-week session. Briefly, he pro- | posed to borrow money from various special State funds and lop off such unspent portions of the 1939 Legis- lature’s appropriations as are not needed immediately. The amount that may be required | to carry relief into next January, | when the 1941 session is ready to pick up the burden, is uncertain. However, officials have estimated at least $70,000,000 would be nec- essary. Other matters listed in the special sessions call include a proposal for extending the Pittsburgh-Harrisburg super highway to Philadelphia, pro- viding the Federal Government will | finance it. The $70,000,000 thorough- | fare now is nearing completion. | Alpha Kappa Psi Initiates 5 George Washington University's, chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi, pro- | fessional commerce fraterni | | | terday announced five members in- | itiated at joint week end ceremonies with the University of Virginia.

Paul Brightenburg Benefit Presented Yesterday afternoon at the Phil- lips Memorial Gallery a group of THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Nature’s Children Pigkerel Weed (Pontederia cordata) By LILLIAN COX ATHEY. In the eastern half of the United States and Canada, the shallow waters of streams and ponds from June until October are made more beautiful by the presence of the pickerel weed. The reason for its name, we are told, is that baby pickerel and even their parents have a deep affinity for this plant. The pickerel mothers lay their eggs upon the glossy green leaves of the weed. But, truth to say, the eggs are also anchored on other aquatic plants, such as the wild rice, sedges and arums, You may see the bright purplish- blue flowers for some distance as they are crowded in a dense spike that reaches high above most of the || reMef for catiouaca, Burn- grows to be as much as 4 feet high, though 2 feet is average height. The filaments, style and anthers are all of the same color and fade soon after the flower is in full bloom, which is for one day only. ‘The upper part withers, leaving the base of the perianth to harden about the seed box and protect the single seed. But there is a daily succes- sion of flowers during good weather, and this shows what a canny mother this plant has proven to be. There will be many seed children matured, though only one to each little safety box, but flowers each day make many flowers by the end of the season. The bees and flies flock to the call of the pickerel weed. There is no fragance to the flowers for us— in fact the very reverse is true as we measure the value of perfume. But the scented invitation that goes forth on the breeze has few if any refusals. It is claimed by many that the pickerel fish are also bene- factors in the numbers of guests| that respond. Some of them may | be captured for dinner by the agile fish, ard many of the insects fly e O S1RCIS Y NEW Clinic Tested Quick Relief!

" ‘The handsome leaf, about midway on the stem, is thick, highly polished and triangular or arrow shaped. 1t is from 4 to 8 inches long and 2 to 6 inches wide at the'base. There are several bractlike leaves sheath- ing the stem at the base. Under these little creatures seek shelter and refuge. Many botanists have found this one of the most interesting flowers to study. Three forms of the flower appear, though not on the same plant. These flowers are absolutely dependent upon the assistance of their insect guests in order to set seed. The schemes and provisions made by the blossoms for using every bit of help possible from the insect sound like a fairy tale and you will enjoy reading about them at first hand.

N.W. friends united in a benefit recilal‘ for Paul Brightenburg, violinist, for- merly active in the musical life of | the city, but now incapacitated for ! public work through illness. The artists were the members of the Washington String Quartet, of which Mr. Brightenburg was the | founder, and whose place was taken | yesterday by Jeno Sevely as second | violinist, assisted by Sylvia Meyer, harpist; Howard Mitchell, cellist; | Kenton Terry, flutist, and Paul Gar- | rett, clarinetist. Besides Mr. Sevely, | the members of the quartet are Mil- ton Schwartz, violinist; George | Wargo, violist, and John Alden | Finckel, cellist. | All of the artists giving the pro- i gram yesterday are members of the | National Symphony, where Mr. ! Brighterburg played for many years in the first violin section until ill- ness compelled him to retire. In a! letter addressed to the group and to the large audience in attendance | and read after the first number, | Mr. Brightenburg expressed his gratitude to the artists and the behalf, concluding with the hope that through their help he may be | able to serve his art again. The program consisted of Haydn's | “Quartet in D Major, Op. 64, No. 5, | Ravel's “Introduction and Allegro” for harp, string quartet, flute andi clarinet, and Schubert’s “Quintet in C Major, Op. 163,” for two violins, | viola and two cellos. The artists gave an inspired performance of the | Haydn and Schubert numbers, the | latter rich in delightful melodies and tonal combinations. The high | light of the afternoon, however, was | undoubtedly Miss Meyer’'s artistic | playing of the Ravel work, where her | beautiful tone could be heard to the best advantage above the ensemble. While the program was in progress a recording was made of the selec- tions by Emerson Meyers, pianist, be presented to him as a momento of the occasion. The use of the Phillips Gallery was through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Phillips and the capacity audience, which enthusiastically applauded the excellent presentation of the performing artists, was a distin- guished one.

Gilroy, 67, a native of Washington, who had been in the paper hanging and interior decor- ating business here for more than 50 years, died April 21 in Georgetown University Hospital.
