These are the dog days in the De-

department scattered in a dozen build
ings on the mill in the Mall, is in a
state of August somnoence. This does
not mean that the department is in
active, not by any means. But 1t does
mean, that many of the bureau Offices

on field work. This is in fact the
busiest time of the year, but the Of
fee work is purely routine.
Secretary Wilson, as is Invariably the
case, is on the job and keeping the de-
partment machinery geared to high
speed. The Weather Bureau and kim
dred institutions of the department are
moving in their regular routine and DR..

Particular attention is being paid by
the department to corn raising in the
States. DR.. Hartley, in charge of corn
Investigations, has his entire staff out
in the corn belt, promoting corn grow
ing contests and the country corn clubs.
1t is the opinion Of Secretary Wilson
that this work Is invaluable. DR.. Hart
ley's activities have been a great help
to the farmers, and have practically
doubled the corn crop, increased the
acreage productiveness, and improved
the quality Of the srnin. Boys corn
clubs. with State prlzes for the best
ears and the best yield per acre have
been organized In nearly every county
of the corn belt. Great attention is
being paid this year to seed selection,
and improved methods of cultivation.

Mayor Gaynor Courts
Presidential Boom

Highly interesting Presidential gossip
is afioat here in New York Democratic
circles. It Is to the effect that while
Governor Dix doubtless will seek the
delegation from New York State he will
not get the delegation without measur-
ing strength with Mayor Gaynor.
Gossip here is that Mayor Gaynor, has
told his friends they may try out the
Gaynor sentiment IL they want to and
see what can be done toward booming
him for the Presidency.
The word also comes to Washington
that Speaker Champ Clark Is develop

Socialists Address
Headed Off by Police

Interference on the part Of police Of
the Tenth precinct yesterday prevented
Archibald Crawford, the labor leader
of South Africa, from addressing the
socialistic meeting and picnic which was
held in Bryant street northeast.
Those who had charge of the arrange
ments for the meeting, overlooked the
fact that there is a police regulation
which forbids public speaking within
1000 feet of a residence unless pernis-
sion has been granted by the owner
of the house.
Crawford was about to begin his ad-
dress when a policeman called his at
tention to the regulation. Despite their
great disappointment, the directors of
the picnic obeyed the mandate of the
law so far as Crawford's address was
concerned, but continued the rest Of
their program. Crawford delivered his

A strange custom prevails among a
certain tribe In the Caucasus. When a
single young man dies some one calls
upon a bereaved parent who has car
ried to the grave manageable
daughter in the course Of a year and
says: Your son Is sure to want a
wife. I'll give you my daughter. and
you shall deliver to ms the marriage
portion In return" A friendly offer of
this description Is never rejected. and
the two parties soon come to terms as
to the amount Of the dowry. which
varies according to the advantages
possessed by the girl In her lifetime.
Cases have been known where the
young mans father has given as much
as thirty cows to secure a dead wife
