ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVI CATHOLICS TO SEEK CHANGES MS, LEADERS ANNOUNCE Petition Will Be Presented to the Mexican Congress Which Will Be in Ses sion Soon. GRANGE NOT TO BE EASILY MADE In Addition to Congress, the Action Must Be Ap proved by the State Leg islatures. Mexico City, Aug. 21 —(/P)—lt is the intention of the Catholic episco pate to petition the Mexican Congress] to amend the religious clauses of t’ue j Constitution. This announcement was] made .today by Bishop Dina, secre- j tary of the episcopate. To change the constitution will re quire a two-thirds vote by Congress and after this approval by a majority of the state legislatures. The new Congress before which the proposal of the episcopate will be placed, is due to begin its session September 16th. The campaign will be handled by Cath olic laymen, as participation in poli tics by churchmen is forbidden by law. The regulations for enforcement of the religious clauses recently caused the cpiscopnte to withdraw priests from the churches throughout the re public thereby bringing about' n ces sation of masses and other ceremonies which require the functioning of reg ularly ordained ministers. I'resident Calles in his reply to a request from Archbishop Morn del Rio, for a suspension of the religious regulations, suggested that the prelate might ask Congress tv amend the con stitution in its provisions regurding religion or appeal to the supreme court for relief. He said he could riot, because of his "political and philos ophical convictions" request Congress to change the fundamental law. DENVER BOVS BOAT OPERATED BY RADIO Boat Built and Operated by a 17-Year-' oM Denver “Electrical Wizard." (By .International,News Service) J •ffWr lattEa-ifo the “Rif Imke” in Denver's beautiful city park are enjoying a thrill viewing the | antics of a radio-eontrolled boat, built and operated by Burt E. Moritz, Jr., 17-year-old Denver “electrical wiz waril.” Constructed of wood along the lines of one of Uncle Sam’s destroyers, the boat is five feet eight inches long and weighs 110 pounds. With a “key” control on the lake dock, young Mortiz transmita impulses to the little craft through miniature copper aeriaiß strung from its mast head. The motive power that causes the boat to travel over the water at a speed of three knots per hour is furnished h.v a one-eigbth horsepower electric motor, fed by a storage bat tery. From tlie dock young Moritz can start and stop his craft, or turn it in any direction he chooses. The controls, Moritz said, are in two systems —the radio control which is composed of two parts, amplifier and radio control itself; a selector and timer. Tlie Rending apparatus ii an ordi nary radio transmitter on a suitable wave length, and can be operated from a portable battery. The boat is grounded to its brass rudder and pro pellor shaft. On shore a plate im mersed in water is used ns a ground, and the family automobile is utilized as an antenna, its rubber tires acting as insulators. ' Young Moritz has visions of revo lutionizing naval warfare and the whole field of navigation ns a result of the perfection of his “radio control boat." With Our Advertlsera.

Davidson. N\ C-. Aug. 21.*-It' in an absolute certainty, unless unex liccted events happen, that the new Richardson Stadium, to be erected at Davidson College, will be completed by the middle of October, as evi denced by the fact that in less than 40 hours after the contract was let, men were working, grading the ground, and clearing away a few necessary trees. Materials have already made their appearance, and it is stated by C. F. Foard, in charge of the work for Tucker and Laxton, Charlotte, that actual construction work on the con crete stadium will begin Monday.

Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel 1 Raleigh, Aug. 21.—50 far as the , state's cotton crop is concerned, the . present dry weather is probably bet ter for a good crop yield than a rainy ' August would be, according to the ' State department of agrieti’.ture men ' just back from a survey of crop condi- j, tions. During the past two weeks the j days have been excessively hot with extremely hot winds blowing constant ly. These have undoubtedly held j back the development of the plants I and considerable shedding of squares j and bolts has occurred. Light rains | are seriously needed, 'however, to pre vent iheavy shedding, but heavy or! prolonged rains would be calamitous. j The acreage of the crop this year for harvest will probably be about the same as Inst year, and if condi tions continue favorable it is quite I likely that this year's production may not fall much below last year's -crop, which was T.EXMKh) ‘bales. Early cotton plants are heavily fruited especially in eastern and south ern counties and Pile cultivation is very good and has been throughout the season. The poorest conditions are to be found in the northern Pied- j mont and northern coastal counties, and where late germination occurred. I The season as a whole lias been fav orable to the cotton crop. Them were good general rains during the latter part of July following ,i prolonged dry spell. These rains ‘have an im petus to the plants just at a time when most needed. During (he past two weeks, however, very little rain has fallen and cotton plants have about stopped their plant growth with the consequent speedy development of the bolls, and shedding of squares and young bolls. This may have a ten dency to counteract, to some extent, the effects of I'he lateness which is ex treme this year. Should a protracted rainy spell oc cur at this time, it would probably start some additional plant growth wlitcli would tend to delay the develop ment of the plants and carry them over into the frost season with a prob ability of a reduction in, the yield. 801 l weevils, which have not been se riously dnmnging this season, would likely become more numerous with the rains.
