Interest Of the veterans already
is being manifested in the election

Gen. Alfred b. Beers. Among the
names prominently mentioned In
this connection are: Private Or

SPECIAL AMBASSADOR
DENIES HE AND WILSON
HAD ANY FRICTION

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug 5.-R. T. r. del
Vale, whom President Wilson sent to
Mexico as a special representative of
this government to investigate conditions
there, returned to his homo heme today
after having made his full report to the
government.
Special Commissioner del Valle denies
some reports coming out of the East as
to his mission in Mexico. He declared
he was not sent to Mexico to investigate
''spotter'' on the movements of any per-
son. Mr.. del Vale declares his relations
with Ambassador H. L. Wilson were
cordial and friendly.
Mr.. del Valle stated his mission con-
sisted Of reaching the people direct and
receiving from them direct tales Of their
suffering and troubles and information
as to the real status Of conditions in
Mexico. He declares he personally in
terviewed over 1,500 persons in Mexico.
Asked concerning the reports that for
eign governments had uttered an ulti-
matum to this government demanding
that steps be taken to bring about peace
in that country, and that Japan has on
foot an extensive colonization scheme in
Mexico, Special Ambassador del Vale
decided such reports were chimercal.
Foreigners in Mexico are like the
Americans there" he declared. They
realize they must have patience, and they
have faith that President Wilson will
finally find a proper solution for Mexico's
troubles. AS to any extensive Japanese
colonization there is no such thing in
Mexico"

COLLECTS SLOW DEBTS
BY PARCEL POST COD,
Wichita Merchant Calls Uncle Sam in
to Aid in Getting Money
Long Due,

Wichita. Kan. Aug. IA Wichita mer-
chant has found a new use for the par
Gel post. This merchant is in a line of
business where he carries a large num-
Der of small accounts. which the debtors
frequently overlook. This has caused the
merchant considerable loss in the course
Of a few years.
When the c. o. d. feature of the par
Gel post went into effect July /. the mer-
chant hit up the idea of using it to coll
lect his small debts. A large number of
small boxes were obtained. These were
filled with waste paper and on top was
placed a receipted bill. Each box was
neatly wrapped and tied and addressed.
scent stamp was required to carry
each box and the c. o. d. fee was 10
cents on each package. The next day the
returns began to come in and in nearly
every case the debtor paid the amount,
supposing that somebody had sent some
thing of value.
There being no chance for the con-
signee to see what was in the package
OF who 1t was from, most of them pa i'd
without asking any questions.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

Lady" and gentleman are not cas-
lily defined. We know them when we
meet them, no matter what they wear,
no matter where they live, no matter
what their occupation may be. Gentle
woman is often defined "a lady" Yet
there was a distinction between the terms
in the seventeenth century. as may be
seen from Rules of Civility." In visit

use Of the word lady is the one told
by Mr. G. W. E. Russell. 1t Is probably
familiar to some. A house surgeon was
attending to the injuries of a woman who
had been severely bitten in the arm. He
said to her: Il cannot make out what
