Direct Negotiations Preferred.

AS matter of general principle the Washington government already has favored mediation of any dispute suit able for such procedure. There is every indication, however, that in the present instance it will be deemed de sirable to conduct forthcoming nego- tiations directly with the Carranza government.
 Members of the Latin-American di- plomatic corps here are expected to make inquiry soon as to the attitude of the Washington government, in view of the statement of the Mexi can foreign office that it awaits only a decision here as to whether mediation or direct negotiations would be pre- ferable. Indications were that the. in quiries would be met with assurances that the two governments had reached it necessary to call upon the friendly services of their neighbor states.
 It is not known whether formal reply to Gen. Carranzas note is con templated Diplomatic usage does not call for one, any more officials fec that more can be accomplished through informal discussion between MT. AT redondo and Counsellor Polk, who will acts as secretary in MT. Lansing's ab sence, than could be hoped for in any other way. It is understood MT. Ar redondon plans to call at the depart ment to say good-by to Secretary Lan sing before the latter's departure fol his vacation Probably the prelimi nary steps necessary TOT the inaugura tion of the informal discussion will be taken then.

 While the object of the negotiations is thus clearly outlined and appears acceptable to the State Department, the subjects to be considered specifi. cally will have to be arranged later. President Wilson has made it clear time and again that gradual withdraw al of the expeditionary force would be ordered once he was assured that Car ranza forces would be employed ac- lively in breaking up bandit prepara- tions for new raids. It has been noted already that the Mexican troops have occupied and policed the territory re- linquished by Gen. Pershing as he drew his men northward. Army off cers believe that this, taken in con nection with the new assurances given in the note, may lead to complete withdrawal of the force as rapidly as possible without endangering the border.

TO GET SERVICE FROM LAMP
Certain Rules for Its Care Must Be Observed-Always Fill in
 Daytime.

A housewife who has to use lamps a great deal, desires to know what will keep the wicks from smoking. If the wick is soaked in vinegar be- fore it is put in the lamp, and thor oughly dried, it will not smoke. The bowl of the lamp should be kept full of oil but when the lamp is. not in use, the wick should be turned down low, to keep the oil from ooZing out upon the burner.
 The common kerosene lamp which is used in almost every household will give bright, clear light, and it will be a source of comfort to the family if properly kept. Never use inferior burners. They are cheaper at first, but they soon get out of fix, so the wicks cannot be turned up or down, and do not give a good light. A clean lamp gives no disa- greeable odor when burning.
 Lamp chimneys are not liable to break upon exposure to changes of temperature if they are put in a pan of cold water and allowed to heat gradually until the water is boiling hot. When you wish to clean the flues, wash them in suds made by dis solving cleansing powder in hot water, rinse in clean, warm water, and wipe dry with old newspaper. See that the tlues all fit closely. Lamps should always be filled by daylight; and al- ways put in new wick before the old one is burned out.

MEXICAN CRISIS
 EVIDENTLY IS
 ENDED BY NOTE
OFFICIALS AT WASHINGTON BE. liEVE THAT TT HAS INVERTED
 THE DANGER OF WAR.
MEXICAN NOTE IS FRIENDLY
Expected the President Will Meet First Chief More Than Half Way If Trying to Avoid War-Amer.
 ican Troops May Leave Mexico.

Washington.-Early resumption of friendly diplomatic conversations with the de facto government of Mexico to the end that peace and order may be restored in northern Mexico and along the border is expected here to be the next step of the United States in it's relations with it's southern neighbor.
 The crisis precipitated by Villas raid on Columbus, N. M, and culmi- hating in the fight at Carrizal be- tween American and Mexican troops i appeared to have been dissipated by an amicable note from Gen Carranza presented by his ambassador designate here, Eliseo Arredondo.
 The note proposes that the differ ences between the governments be settled by mediation or by direct ne gotiations. It is remarkable for its brevity it's restrained and friendly tone and for the absolute lack of any of the strong. even insolent language which characterized the last two com. munications from the de facto govern ment. It treats as a closed incident the exchange of unfriendly communf- cations which brought war almost within sight.
 No formal comment on the note was obtainable from State Department of ficia1s. A copy was forwarded to the White House immediately upon it's re- ceipt and President Wilson will deter mine the course to be pursued. The fact that Secretary Lansing complet- ed preparations for a months vaca- tion is regarded as significant, how ever, of feeling on his part that the crises is over.

Two Problems Are Presented.
The text of the note follows:


 Washington, D. c.
 MT. Secretary-I have the honor to transmit in continuation the text of a note I have just received from my government with instructions to pre- sent it to your excellency:
 MT. Secretary-Referring to the notes of June 20 and 25, last, have the honor to say to your excellency that the immediate release of the Carrizal prisoners was further proof of the sincerity of the desires of this government to reach pacific and sat isfactory arrangement of present diff fculties. This government is anxious to solve the present conflict and it would be unjust if it's attitude were misinterpreted.
 "It was also the Mexican govern ment that earnestly suggested a plan for cantonments alongs the boundary line during the conferences of Ciudad Juarez and El Paso. This government is disposed now, as it has always been to seek an immediate solution to the two points which constitute the true causes of the conflict between the two countries, to wit: The American gov ernment believes reasonably that the insecurity of it's frontier is source ot difficulty and the Mexican government on it's part believes that the stay of American troops on Mexican territory aside from being a trespass on the sovereignty of Mexico, is the imme- diate cause of the conflicts. There fore, the withdrawal of American troops, on the one hand, and the pro lection of the frontier, on the other are the two essential problems, the solution of which must be the direct ing object of the efforts of both gov ernments.

HOW TO FREEZE DESSERTS
With Proper Supply of Ice and Coarse Rock Salt the Process Is Com
 paratively Simple.

With ice-cream freezer, burlap bag. sufficient ice and coarse rock salt, the process neither takes much time nor patience. Crush the ice finely by plac- ing in bag and giving a few blows with mallet or broadside of ax If there are coarse pieces, remove them. Place can containing mixture to be frozen in wooden tub, cover and ad- just top. Turn crank to make sure can fits in socket. Allow three level meas ureS of ice to one of salt, and re- peat until ice and salt come to top of can, packing solidly, using handle of mallet to force it down. If only small quantity is frozen the ice and salt need come only little higher in the tub than mixture to be frozen. These are found the best proportions of ice and salt to insure fine grained cream. sherbet, or water ice, while equal parts of salt and ice are used for freezing frappe.
 The mixture increases in bulk dur ing freezing so the can should never Dc llOIe llldu luEeG-lOuTIllS uIled, DY overcrowding the can cream will be made coarse grained. Turn the crank slowly and steadily to expose as large q surface of mixture as possible to ice and salt. After frozen to a mush, the crank may be turned more rapidly, adding more ice and salt if needed. Never draw off salt water until mix ture is frozen. Unless there is possi- hlitv of it's getting into the can, for salt water is what effects the freezing i; until ice melts, no change will take place. After freezing is accomplished draw off water, remove daSher, and with spoon pack solidly. Put cork in opening of cover, then put on cover. Repack freezer, using four measures of ice to one of salt. Place over top newspapers or piece of carpet; when serving time comes remove can, wipe carefully and place in vessel of cool water; let stand one minute, remove cover, and run knife around edge of cream, invert can on serving dish, and frozen mixture will slip out. Should there be any difficulty, cloth wrung out in hot water, passed over can, will aid in removing mixture.

 Several Latin-American countries have offered their friendly mediation to the Mexican government, and the latter has accepted it in principle. Therefore, the Mexican government only awaits information that the gov e-nment of the United States would be disposed to accept this mediation for the purpose mentioned above, or whether it is still of the belief that the same results may be attained by means of direct negotiations between both governments.

WiiIinn to Withdraw Troops.

State Department officials appeared entirely satisfied with the definition Of the matters to be settled outlined in the new Mexican note. It is present ed in this language, as translated at the embassy.
 "The American government be- lieves, reasonably, that the insecurity of it's frontier is a source of difficulty, and the Mexican government on it's part believes that the stay of Ameri- can troops on Mexican territory, aside from being a trespass on the sover- eighty of Mexico, is the immediate cause of the conflicts. Therefore, the withdrawal of American troops, on the one hand, and the protection of the frontier, on the other, are the two essential problems, the solution of which must be the directing object of the efforts of both governments"
 Coupled with this definition is an outline of a sort of military status quo beyond the border which the de facto government suggests as sub stitute for it's previous demands for immediate withdrawal of the Amerl can troops. It is stated as follows:
