2121 2d Ave

Guadalajara, Mexico, March 2.-Gen- eral Carranza remained closeted with the members of his official family yesterday and today and denied himself to those seeking information concerning the note of pr. Alfred Zimmerman, the German foreign secretary, to Minister von Eek hardt, the German representative here, in the attempt to form an alliance be- tween Germany, Mexico and Japan against the United States. General Agui- lar, the Mexican foreign minister, also declined to discuss the Zimmerman note.
 Officials of the Mexican government here were loath to express their opin- ions for publication, but the news seemed to come as a surprise and a majority of them seemed to believe that the German project had not been presented to the Mexican government or that if it had, it was rejected. Newspapers giving de- tails of the German intrigue were re. ceived here today and aroused great in- terest, the story having been made known here only few hours before

 If you want to reach the eyes of the discriminating women buyers of Birming- ham, you will have to use this page, for already they are beginning to watch out for it every Saturday morn ing.
 A bright woman pulled a good one on me. Said she: "Mr. Barnett, I like the stuff you write in your Tips to Housewives bet ter than I do the matter you print over your signature on the editorial page"
 1 hope a lot of other house keepers will find interesting  news in this column, for in getting up the page and in writing my little talks, I'm really trying to do the busy housewives a service and at the same time give them a little pleasure.
 I hope the bright women of Birmingham will read what I write on both pages, for I'm truly anxious in hav- ing their good will and ap- preciation. Just because a man is an editor is no reason why he shouldn't be inter- ested in home economics and family affairs.
 I'm trying to get only the highest class meat, grocery and produce men to use this page. I only want those who will deal justly and live up to their advertisements. Any one caught advertising things they won't sell at the prices advertised will be cut out. This page is going to run for merchants who be- lieve in a square deal and for housekeepers who want their moneys worth.
 I'm interested in the papers getting the adver- tisements for this page, but I'm also interested in get ting only reliable advertisers to use it. I want to make it of real service to every eco nomical housewife in the dis trict.
 I want to help the retailers get acquainted with their customers, and l want their customers to take enough in terest in them to pay them a personal visit at their places of business.
 
 I'm a great believer in bringing people together. There ought to be a bond of interest between seller and buyer. The confidence of his customers is the best as ~<A = L,l 1~e.
