Conference on Mexican Situation
Kept Secret — Ambassador
Denies Interviews.
WASHINGTON, Jut" 26.—Anihas-
f=ador Henry Lane Wilson reached the
office of Secretary of State Bryan
to-day and expressed his views on
the Mexican situation. The Interview
with Bryan wai preliminary to the
one which the envoy will hold with
President Wilson.
The Ambassador's first, act on his
arrival here t-day was t repudiate
almost entirely the Interviews sent
out from New York last night.
“Most of the statements attributed
to me this morning are absolutely
false.” he said. “1 did not call Gen
eral Carranza a bandit or refer to
the revolutionary movement as a
campaign of bandits, nor did I say
that all talk of mediation was rot.
“1 did say that a board of media
tors going into Mexico at the present
time would have as much chance as
a board of arbitrators in the midst
of strike conditions that prevailed in
West Virginia some months ago. 1
am not to be placed in the attitude
of being a mere press agent for
Huerta.”
The conference between Secretary
Bryan and Ambassador Wilson last
ed about 45 minutes. It will be re
sumed at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Mr.
Bryan was forced to suspend the in
terview at 11 o’clock to keep an en
gagement with the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate to discuss
the proposed Nicaraguan treaty and
the Mexican situation.
Bryan stated that Ambassador Wil
son would not see President Wilson
before Monday. He declined to dis
cuss the interview with the Ambas
sador.

Fine Opportunity for Winning an
Automobile by Work Among
Business Men Uptown.
The American and Georgian’s Want
Ad Contest is opening up in great
style. Contestants brought in a bunch
of want ads yesterday afternoon, and
they were just getting their hand in
at that.
But the field is still Open. There’s
a great opportunity for live, hustling
young men and women.
Don’t think this is just a “kids’
game.” It isn’t every day that an
automobile or a piano or a trip to
California is given for a bit of light
work. A young man or young wom
an with some business ability and
some spare time can win a prize
worth while by working uptown
among the business men. Real es
tate firms, retail stores, every kind
of business offers opportunity for
want ads, and they count Just the
same as house-to-house business.
Some of you people with lots of ac
quaintances uptown can get in now
and win.
Contestants should let their
friends know they are in the con
test. If they will give the Want
Ad Man a list of all their friends
he will help them spread the news
and assist them in rounding'up the
business and the votes. Some of the
contestants have brought In these
lists and others should do it at once.
The Want Ad Man is planning a
campaign to help the contestants.
One young man, in his teens, won
big success on his first day out, reap
ing a harvest of want ads in one
street. It’s easy to get them if you'll
Just suggest want ad possibilities.
Mrs. Jones may not think of needing
something an ad would bring her, but
a hint that she could rent that va
cant room or hire a new cook or sell
an old piece of furniture will always
bring an idea and the idea brings
the ad.
The coupon published on another
will count 1,000 votes for a start -
page will count 1,000 votes for
a starter. Clip it out, take it to the
Want Ad Man or your district man
ager nearest your home and start in
to win. You may be driving your
own motor car this autumn.

Only Reason Vacation Romances
Do Not Last Is Because Peo
ple Laugh, She Says.
If Miss Gladys Watkins, one of At
lanta’s prettiest society girls, had her
way, the good old summer time would
no longer be nn open season for flir
tations; friendships formed under the
spell of the full moon and the moun
tain breezes would be as lasting and
as firm as friendships formed before
an open fire, and sure-enough, honest-
to-goodness romance would feel as
much at home In a rowboat as it Is In
a sleigh.
“Is there any good reason,” asked
Miss Watkins, "why every romanco
that begins during summer should bo
greeted with skepticism and labeled a
’summer flirtation'.” Why should not
summer, the most beautiful season of
the year, be as good a time as winter
for forming everlasting friendships? 1
think it’s a shame that every time
a girl meets a man at a summer re
sort and speaks to him kifndly once
or twice, it is set down as a flirta
tion—when in reality they may like
j each other very much.
“A girl meets many nice men at the
seashore, in the mountains or where-
I ever people go to escape the heat. Yet
if she likes one particular man and
they go together much, people laugh
and say, ‘Oh, it’s just another sum
mer flirtation.’ And that luugh hfu»
I destroyed many a romance. Knowing
that no one will take them seriously
the man and maid are not apt to take
themselves very seriously.
“Summer has simply gotten a bad
name and can not get rid of it. A
girl is not nearly so apt to believe
the things a young man tells her in
summer as she la to be lieve the same
things In winter. And it is because
she has heard all her life that summer
friendships were Just flirtations.”
