The note discioses that the state de-

from the de facto government, stating
hat the Carrizal hgnL was the direct
result of orders to attack American
soldiers moving otherwise than to-
ward the border, personally issued by
Gen. Carranza to Gen. TreVino and by
the latter communicated to Gen. Per

In reply secretary Lansing requires
hat the de tacto government Grams
nit a definite statement "as to the
course of action it has determined uD-
on," through the usual diplomatic
channels, "and not through subordi-
nate military officers"

strued, Secretary Lansing states, "as

A Ball on tn. Window Shade.

A Ball on the Window Shade.
1t frequently occurs in adjusting
spring roller blinds that the cord slips
through the hand and the blind not
only winds up to the top. but continues
until the spring has spent its force and
the blind and cord are rolled up out of
reach. 1t is then necessary to use q
chair or stepladder to readjust it. All
this trouble and annoyance can be
avoided If small hollow rubber ball
is obtained and holes punched through
so it may be threaded on the curtain
string and tied close to the stick.
Should the blind slip away with this
attachment the ball will jam up against
the window frame, preventing further
winding Unpopular Mechanics.
