COURTEOUS ATTENTION FROM SALES PEOPLE This conversation was overheard in a department store the other day: Customer, pointing to some rolls of cretonne —"I want to cover a window seat. Is that what I ought to have?” Salesman —"Yes, Madam, cre tonne is used a great deal for win dow seats.” Customer —"My room is blue. Which pattern do you think would be best?" Salesman—“ Any one of these three would be all right.” Customer —"How much ought 1 to buy?” Salesman—"l would have to know how long the window seat is •to tell you that.” Customer—" Well, three peo|Ge can Just squeeze into it.” listener moved away at this point with a feeling of disgust for the stupidity of the customer and admiration for the courtesy and pa tience of the salesman.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD ‘NO TRUCE’ CLOSES DOOR Temporary Suspension of Con ferences at Niaqara Falls. Carranza Tells Mediators That He Has “Duly Consid ered” Proposal and Won’t Agree Washing tan.—Temporary suspension of formal conferences at Niagara Falls among the mediators and the Amer ican and Huerta delegates during the absence of the Argentine minister, gave President Wilson and Secretary Bryan today additional time for con sideration of men to be suggested for the provisional presidency of Mexico. Government officials were said to have experienced some difficulty in getting names of eligibles through constitu tionalist agents in Washington. Dur ing the three days' absence of, Ml°- ister Naon the president and his ad visers hoped to make headway over the problem of personnel of the new government that would materially re lieve immediate tension in the negoti ations. Chances Dissipated. Chances that Carranza might l»e --come a party to the present proceed ings apparently were dissipated by the dispatch of the envoys’ latest tele gram to the constitutionalist chief. They told Carranza they feared he "had not duly considered” their com munication containing a request for an armistice with Huerta. Men in tile confidence of Carranza declared he had “duly considered” the proposal, that he would not agree to a truce and that apparently the door for any fur ther correspondence between the medi ators and the revolutionist leader was closed. * Little Change, That development, not entirely un expected, caused little change In the diplomatic situation so far as the United States was concerned. How ever, in some quarters it was sug gested that it might hinder the Wash ington government’s chances of ob taining Carranza's consent to the drafting of a peace plan in which he would have had no part. On the other hand insistence of American delegates that a man with constitutionalist sympathies be named for provisional president was pointed to as showing that the Interests of the northern fac tion were receiving full consideration. With Keen Intereet. Press dispatches from Mexico City stating an extraordinary session of the house probably would be called by Huerta were received here with keen interest. The speaker of the house was said to have announced that a "matter of great Interest for the Mexican republic,” which would re quire the highest patriotism of the deputies would be discusaed. It gene rally was supposed the subject of the extra session would relate to Huerta's attitude as recently outlined by the delegates at Niagara Falls. Funtton Against It.
