ST|MSON MAY VISIT
EUROPE'S CAPITALS
Good Will Tour on Continent
Suggested After London
Conference.
BY c. r. WILLIAMS.
Associated prasa stan vvr,tar


LONDON, February g.. with the
naval conference work Undertaking. as
the Americans had hoped. Secretary of
state Stimson tonight turned his at
tenClon 20 various informal suggestions
tnat ne visit number of European
CAPITALS before returning to the United
States. Among these are Brussels,
Paris, Rome and Berlin.
Inc American delegation feels that
though neither the Belgians nor the
Germans are participating in the con-
terence, 1t would be most helpful If Mr..
Stlmson visited Brussels and Berlin to
discuss American Belgian. and Ameri-
cAn-German problems while the OPP
portunlty is at hand. Well informed
quarters remarked that President Hoover

progress In studying and determining

on American policies.
Wants Better Touch.
Close friends Of Mr.. Stimson assert
That he is anxious to combine the
Knowledge gained during his service in
the philippines on Far Eastern prob
lens with more intimate acquaintance
with the affairs of Europe.
They point out that a visit to these
TOUR capitals, with trip to Madrid, If
time allowed, would be of great service
IN establishing effective cooperation
between President Hoover and Secre-
larry Stlmson on the problems of both
hemiSpheres.
1t was said on high authority, how
ever, that the plans of the Secretary
after the conference depend largely
upon the date on which it ends.
Many Of the Americans hope that It
will not last beyond March /, and in
this case Secretary Stimson would have
an adequate opportunity to visit the
European capitals in which America
has close and constant interest.
Would Pay Own Way.
AS the 5000, 900 appropriation for the
delegations expenses does not provide
for such a visit, he would pay his own
expenses If the interested nations should
extend invitations or otherwise indicate
a desire to talk over their problems with
him. So far no such indications have
been received.
When he was first mentioned for the
leadership OF the American delegation
to the London Conference there were
many comments that he would be in a
position to repay Prime Minister Mac
donalds visit to the United States last
Autumn. Throughout Europe the
American Secretary of State is re-
garded as occupying a position analo-
gous to that Of European foreign minis
ter or premier. In case Mr.. Stimson
should make the trip. he probably would
be accorded the honors custon1arily
given to prime minister in the coun-
tries to be visited.

Patience Is Needed.
Both British and American delesa-
tons realize, however, that tWo-poWer
agreement is not five-power concord.
Mr.. Macdonald in discussing the con-
ference has always been particularly
careful TO emphasize the complicated
nature of the problem. He points out
that while 1t is difficult enough with
only two powers involved, negotiations
become so highly complex with five ma
lions trying to reach q satisfactory
agreement that great patience is needed
along with craftsmanship.

Fire Lighters From Candle Ends
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

I for themselves what festive atmo-

cidedly mundane change, but every
| homemaker who employs candles for
| the lighting of her dinner table, or for
antique sconces, etc, will appreciate
that it is a practical turn of the sub
| iect. There are always candle-ends,
longer or shorter according to the way
| the candles are burned, and it Is thrifty
| to make good use of them.
A type Of fire-lighter can be made
Of these old candle-ends that is remi-
niscent Of the Cape Cod flre-lighters
that cost considerable to buy. The
candle-end lighters are equally effective
if not exactly ornamental, unless the
homemaker makes use of an attractive
brass, iron or copper tankard, or con-
tainer to keep them in by an open fire.

scrape off all but thin coating on the
outside of the paper Put the prepared
rod into the copper or other container,
and it is ready to be used as Cape Cod

The way it is used is as follows: When
fire is laid in the fireplace do not put
any paper beneath the kindling, but
light it by placing the candle-end light
Ell beneath the wood, and setting fire to
it with a match. The waxed paper will
slowly burn itself away as the flame
from it ignites the wood. Then remove
the rod, and replace in the container
until prepared as described for another
time.
A convenient way to have re-fills for
these candle-end lighters is to pre-
pare as many coils OF paper as you can
with the supply of candle-ends on
hand. Remove each coil of paper when
soaked in the wax, scraped, and cold,
except the final one which is left on the
rod. Put these coils away in a cold
place until the rod needs replenishing,
and then slip another on its tip. tie in
position, and replace in its tall and

A great many mistakes occur in the

the most serious and common mistakes
is to forget to pay the doctor when he
