By Associated Press

Washington, August 2.--Weather conditions generally favored cotton during the week ending today. the department of agriculture announced in it's weekly weather and crop re- view today. A few central and east ern sections and the more western part of the belt, however. experienced excessive moisture. Moderate rainfall prevailed from the Mississippi valley eastward but little or no rain fell to the westward, while sunshine was generally ample except in north eastern sections. Temperatures were above normal in the central and eastern parts of the belt and un- usually high in the northwestern di- vision.
 "The crop" the report said, made favorable progress in North Caro- lima, except where it was too wet in parts of the coastal plain, while the weather was generally favorable in South Carolina. although there was too much moisture in some ceu- tral counties and the plants were re- ported as sappy with some shedding but fruiting fairly well generally. Tho week was very favorable for cotton in Georgia where very good to excellent progress was reported, and generally fair advance was ip- dicated from Alabama.

tional. National, Liberal and Sam down Turf clubs. and for the Royal Automobile club being extended through the brighter London so- ciety.
 The opening of these exclusive clubs to visiting Americans upsets another ingrained tradition in the effort to make London more attrac- tive to strangers. Americans tour ing England and the continent in their own cars are particularly for tunate in having the facilities of the Royal Automobile club open to them as the clubs information bureau Is the most complete of its kind in the world.
 These are bargain days in Lon- don's big department stores. where the energy and judgment displayed by American women are the cause of much comment by London news paper writers The Americans have complained of no such incident as price extortion operating against them, as was printed In some lead ing journals. Edward A. Filene. the Boston marchant, after a study of London's stores. said: Any Ameri- can entering your big department stores here must feel perfectly at home. Articles are displayed the same way and the price tag is on them.'
 "The Royal Horticultural society's show is attracting many American visitors and buyers. among them Gould who has nuroha sed great variety of rose plants for his home In Los Angeles.
 "visitors continue to flock to Chesterfield house. the residence of Princess Mary and Viscount Lacel- les. the incident of her marriage to a commoner apparently having deeply touched the American imagi- nation.
 "The gala days at Buckingham palace also attract their thousands. while the racing at Goodwood and Alexander park. and even the big cricket matches have their appeal with the tea dances and supper dances at the Savey, Berkeley and Claridges hotels very we'll attended during the month.
 "Englishmen are developing 6 taste for frogs and snails, and 1t Is now said that more snails ana frogs are now eaten in the Cafe Parisien ef the Savoy hotel here than In c'l the restaurants of Paris. Chef M. Granjon of the Savoy re- ceives every day 250 frogs and 200 snails from France. where they are caught in the vineyards and live on insects and grape leaves. The daily supply, which comes by airplane express, is about to be doubled. ac- cording to M. Jean Sovrani. man ager of the Cafe Parisien in the hotel, who says that the demand Is growing and only day or so ago Sir Hall Caine. who has taste for frogs, was disappointed to learn that the days supply was long be- fore exhausted. A delicacy as fasci- hating as young quail-frogs and little chabiis-there Is nothing bet ter, was Sir Halls description ot Escargots Bouguignonne, as the dish is designated on the menu"

"CROW DOG SAY HE GOMEZ
WAS READY TO DIE
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

NXHEN Spotted Tail, backed by
W the military whom he had aid
! ed, usufped the head chieftainship of
/ the Brule Sioux, his high-handed act
was bitterly resented. Chief Crow Dog
| (kangi Sunka) took vow to kill the
head chief if ever he disgraced the
name of the Sichangu (Brules).
Years passed. Spotted Tail, drunk
with power misused his high office for
personal ends. His people murmured
but were powerless. Then he coveted
the wife of Medicine Bear and, cOvet-
ing, took her. Crow Dog, a relative
Of Medicine Bear, remembered his
vow. On August 5, 1881, he met Spot
ted Tail and shot him dead, after
which he gave himself up.
He was tried at DeadwOOd, S. D.,
convicted of murder and sentenced to
be hanged. Crow Dog asked permits
sion to say farewell to his family,
promising to return on the day set
for the execution.
When Crow Dog did not show up the
next day, Indian police were dispatched
to get him. He WAS not at home and
his wife told them that the chief had
wished to return to prison alone and
would surely keep his promise. The
next day the chief walked into the
Jail at Rapid City. ''Crow Dog say
he come" was his laconfc reply to
the surprised greeting Of his jailer.
Meanwhile efforts were being made
to save his life by stay Of execution
His case was carried to the Supreme
court of the United States which ruled
that the federal courts had no jurisdic-
ton over crime committed by one
Indian against another on a reserva-
ton. So Grow Dog walked out Of
prison free man.
Ten years later Crow Dog was in
the limelight again, as one of the
Brule leaders who fled from the Rose
bud agency during the Ghost Dance
craze to join the Ogallalas in the Bad
Lands. The Brule chief was soon con-
WINGED that their cause was hopeless
and he counselled surrender.
But the irreconcilables were still
eager for war. They caught up their
rifles and threatened to shoot those
who wavered. Seeing this Grow Dog
drew his blanket over his head. II
do not wish to know who would be
guilty Of Staying brother Dakota"
he said. His words SO impressed the
warriors that civil war was averted
and the hostiles sullenly fled into the
agency to surrender.
It was Crow Dogs last war trail.
From that day he lived in peace on
the Rosebud reservation until his
death August II, 1912.

ASSYRIANS NOT so ROUGH
Were More Humane Than Peculiarly
Fabled, Says Professor Who Has
Studied Their Laws.

The Assyrian is popularity recalled
as coming down like a wolf on the
fold" But one provision Of the AS
syrian code of laws indicates that the
Assyrians are more humane than they
are popularity tabled. This requires
that the destitute widow be supported
by her sons las the bride whom one
loves"
Instead Of the Assyrians being Who'll
~ abject, their letters, says Prof. A.
F. Olmstead. Of the University of ILL.,
nois, show high officials speaking their
minds with the greatest plainness, the
kings making pathetic appeals to those
whose support they would win. Their
imperial free cities were as free as
those in western Europe in the Middle
ages, with charters of freedom from
corners Of the earth and to all
tongues.

GETS CLOCK, BUT NOT "TlME'
Court Robbed Of Imposing Timepiece
Under Its Very Eyes and With
Its Permission.

Thousands Of law-breakers have
been given time" at Berlin's central
criminal court in MOabit, but recently
an ingenious crook posing as a repair
man actually was given the courts
official clock and that while a case
was being tried.
The sitting was well under way
when a man in working clothes entered
the courtroom with long ladder
which he calmly placed under the
huge, imposing timepiece on the wall.
The judge, counsel, accused and spec
tators were astonished as such an I'M
precedented interruption. The presi-
dent stopped the workman's ascent of
his ladder long enough to inquire the
meaning of his conduct. The visitor
explained that he merely wanted to get
the clock for repair and that it would
take only a moment. The president
objected, but consented when the man
said he already had called six times
and always found the court in session.
The vacant space on the wall sur
prised the janitOr later in the da-, and
his investigations revealed that the
court had been robbed under it's very
eyes, in fact, with its permission.
