MEX|CANS HAVE
PLANS FOR
PEACE
TO.DAY'S DEVELOPMENT IS THAT
The UNITED STATES WILL Do
NOTHING, AS USUAL, WHILE
CERTAIN PERSONS TRY TO PUT

PLANS TO INVESTIGATE

! Washington, d. c.. July 29.-Am
his conferences today with Secretary
Bryan on the Mexico situation. Mr.
Wilson had expected to quit Washing
ton today, but remained at the request
Of the secretary to continue his eX
tended report of conditions in the
southern republic.
President Wilson had no announce
ment to make today about the policy
the United States would pursue to-
wards Mexico, but there is every rea-
son to believe no steps will be taken
by this country pending the outcome
of the plans being laid by leading
Mexicans for peace.
The fact that some of the mediators
interested in adjusting the difference
between the followers of Huerta and
Carranza were instrumental in per
suading Portirio Diaz to abdicate, is
encouraging officials in touch with
Mexican affairs to believe that their
efforts may bring about the resignation
of President Huerta.
While the Mexicans who are taking
an active part in the plans decline to
permit the use of their names at this
time. they have proceeded to the point
of informing Secretary Bryan what
they have in mind. No developments
are expected for at least fortnight,
during which the administration here
will keep in close touch with the ne
gotiations.
The argument the Mexicans are said
tc be planning to place before Huerta
is that the United States under no cir
would recognize his re-
gime and that to eXtricate Mexico
from its financial straits it is neces-
sary to establish a new administra-
ton.
Wants investigating COMMITTEES.
If President Huerta was willing to
abdicate, men acceptable to him as
well as the constitutionalists have
been tentatively selected from whom
4 successor would be named. Ambas
,ador Henry Lane Wilson had nothing
% say today about the developments
IN the situation generally. He had not
decided when he would leave for his
1acation.
Although the senate foreign rela-
ions committee met today, Ambassa-
lor Wilson was not invited to appear.
Investigation of conditions in Mex
co by a joint congressional commit
ee was proposed in a resolution today
)y Representative Stevens of Texas.
five senators and five representative
would examine all diplomatic cores

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS

Bx BLANCHE BEACON

The girl who is inclined to be plump has more dangers placed in her path than almost any other kind of beauty seeker.
 She is generally possessed of a des- peration born of folly, and in this des- peration does things that she would not think of doing otherwise. She invests in fake cures and anti-fats with an eagerness that would be funny if it were not so serious -za4s55A
 Have you ever heard of Thyroid :? Ihyrold is a drug made from the thy roid gland of a goat It is prescribed for certain diseases by physicians, but no reputable physician would think of giving it to a patient without a thor ough examination and without rigor- ous supervision. Taken without any other aid, thyroid will reduce one some six pounds a week. BUT
 The chances are that 1t will keep right on reducing even after you have ceased to take it. Then the result is a wrecked constitution. It acts up- on the heart. also. In fact, it is, in unpracttced hands, the most diaboli- cal drug that Fate ever put within the reach of a credu1ous public. It has it's victims by the hundreds and thousands-new ones each year. I know of one young woman who, after taking thyroid in the form of a per fect1y harmless anti-fat medicene'sN dis covered that a goiter, brought about by this stuff, was pushing up in her throat and forcing her eyes from the sockets. Her life was despaired of, and now, although recovered, her eyes still have the appearance of being about to start from the head.

 How would we split it?'
 Three ways would be right Gr1ggs answered. 'One to me, one to you and one to be divided up among the others"
 Carson brought his fist down on the table with a force that made the glass es jingle.
 You're on,'' he said, strongly.
 'sFine!' Griggs declared, and the two men shook hands. @'Now, I'll get''-
 "Get nothingr' Carson interrupted. 'tI'l1 get my own men, Chicago Red is in town. So is Dacey, with perhaps couple of others of the right sort. I'll get them and we'll turn the trick to- morrow night"
 That's the stuff," Griggs agreed, greatly pleased.
 But sudden shadow fell on the face of Carson. He bent closer to his com panion and spoke with a fierce inten- stty that brooked no denial.
 'fshe must never know"
 Griggs nodded understandingly.
 Mary had gone to her bedroom for nap. She was not in the least sur prfsed that Dick had not yet returned, though he had mentioned half an hour. At the best there were many things that might detai2 hiEa-his fathers absence from the office, difficulties in making arrangements for his project ed honeymoon trip abroad = which would never occur-or the like. At the worst there was a chance of find ing his father promptly, and of that father as promptly taking steps to prevent the son from ever again see ing the woman who had so indiscrset- ly married him.
 Yet somehow Mary could not believe that her husband would yield to such paterna1 coercion. Rather, she was sure that he would prove loyal to her whom he loved through every trouble. At the thought a certain wistfu1ness peryaded her and poignant regret that this particular man should have been the one chosen of fate to be en- tangled within her mesh of revenge. There throbhed in her heart torment ing realization that there were in life possibilities infinitely more splendid than the joy of vengeance. She would not confess the truth even to her dn- most soul, but the truth was there and set her atremble with vague fears.
 She had slept, perhaps, a half hour when Fannie awakened her.
 Its a man named Burke she ex- pla4ned as her mistress lay blinking. 'tAnd there's another man with him. They said they must see you"
 By this time Mary was wide awake, for the name of Burke, the police i'm spector, was enough to start1e her out of drowsiness.
 She got up, slipped into a teagown, bathed her eyes in cologne dressed her hair a little and went into the drawing room, where the two men had been waiting for something more than quarter of an hour-to the vfo- lent indignation of both

Garson's Noiseless Gun. OMETHING of what was in his
 mind was revealed in Garson's first speech after Griggs' going.
 That's a mighty big stake he's playing for.'
 And a big chance he's taking!" Mary retorted. 'sNo, Joe, we don't want any of that. We'll play a game that's safe and sure.'
 The words recalled to the forger weird forebodings that had been troubling him throughout the day. ''It's sure enough" he stated, 'fbut Is it safe?''
 aWhat do you mean?'' Carson walked to and fro nervously as he answered
 tS'pose the bulls get tired of you putting it over on 'em and try some rough work7''

 ''Where did you get ft?'' Mary asked
 ''In Boston, last week. And between you and me, Mary, it's the only model, and it sure is 8 corker.''
 That night in the back room of Blin- keys English Eddie and Carson sat with their heads close together over table.
