Silk Stocking Tendency Re-

The day when It was necessary
only to have enough bright-colored
sweets to look pretty on the Christ

stomach ache is gone, they say.
Hard candy, long favorite with
Christmas buyers, continues to hold
the lead, but there is a trend to-

candy.
"One peculiar fact about Christ

hard times more candy is sold than

probably being that when people
can't afford IN elaborate Christmas,
they more or less fake one by hav-
ing plenty Of candy for the chill

Millions of pounds of Christmas
candy are sold each year in Indi-
annapolis. Huge factories, with
candy making machines that. do al
most everything but sing "How
Good I Am" as they turn out a

A big candy factory is more like

Machines do not do all the work.
They are assisted by nimble, skilled
fingers. The candy-maker's hook,

process, in which the candy is drawn
out and rolled into sticks by hand,
stick candy with uniform stripes is
evolved. BY placing in strips Of
various widths before it is rolled,
stripes of varying width result.

PEACE IN THE BALANCE
BY HENRY WOOD
United Press star CorrespOndenA

GENEVA, Nov. 29.-The League
Of Nations, with the United States
and Russia represented partially,
will begin tomorrow vital two
weeks discussion Of disarmament
and high politics, on which peace
Of Europe may depend.
The leagues preparatory disarma-
ment commission meets tomorrow,
with Minister Hugh Wilson, at
Berne, representing the United
States and a big delegation repre-
senting Russia.
It's business is to discuss the next
negotiatory step-and the first real
one-toward bringing Europe's arm
an1entS down from war level.
The league council, or governing
body, will meet next week, while
the disarmament commission is sit
ting.
Seek Agreement
The councils business will be pri-
marily to take up appeal of Lithu-
ania against aggression by Poland,
which she fears.
Effort will be made to effect an
agreement between Poland and
Lithuania, ending grave threat of
trouble, ever present since Poland's
seizure of the Wilma district several
years ago. 1t seemed so near a few
days ago to precipitating a war in
which Russia, France and perhaps
most of the world would have been
involved.
Russia is deeply and openly in
terested, on Lithuania'S side.
France is Poland'S ally, pledged to
support her if attacked.
Russia was present, like the
United States, to attend the dis
armament conference, but was ex-
pected to be busy on the side.
AS in previous league conferences,
it was expected Russia would try
to play leading role. 1t was re-
ported her delegates planned to de-
mand that the league effect nom
aggression agreement binding ell
''xs%epe and that every one agree to
jettison half Of present ornaments.
Prospect Not Bought
Prospect for disarmament is not
bright. League experts say 1t will
takey ears, perhaps fifty, really to
disarm Europe. They will be con-
tent If they can remove the threat
Of war and thereby calm Europe's
fears and hats to a point where
gradual disarmament can be begun
some years hence.
Immediate work Of the commits
sion is expected to be creation of
a special body to work out q Sc
curity plan by which nations can
be guaranteed against attack.
That will involve almost certainly
an agreement by which nations
would pledge themselves Jointly to
make war on any nation that at
tackled another.
Great Britain is no more friendly
to the idea than was the United
States when it refused, for fear of
being involved in such wars, to join
the League.
