WASHINGTON July 1S.-Apparent
elimination of General Felix Diaz
from Mexican politics was the feature
in the Mexican news Of most interest
here today to officials. Ills departure

officials here have always considered
a source of danger in Mexican affairs.
That Diaz should apparently remove
himself from politics by accepting
the Japanese mission requiring his
absence during the prediction period
was received with surprise here. 1t

4 himself ask reelection In October
and this foreshadows his selection, 1t
was believed here. Such a conting-
ency would again put the United
States in a dilemma over recognition.
Huerta can barely conceal his emnity

Coming Out
Into the Open

1t was not SO many years ago
that advertising was considered
unethical from business
standpoint.
Many of the finest old houses
held aloof, saying that they did
MT have to advertise. Then to-
day there are some business
and professional men SO bound
by custom and tradition that
they have not yet availed them
selves of the advantages of ad
vertising.
BY SO much as these customs
still hold, by Just SO much IS
the public deprived of knowing
all about those professions ano
businesses.
The most successful way and
the only honest way to deal
with the public is to play the
game out in the open"
If there are true and interest
ing reasons why the public
should buy something from So
& So, then So & So should be
glad of chance to say SO over
and over again through the
medium of reliable newspapers.

"Mr. Bryan says he is selling his
