DR.. Charles Fama Asks Fol-
lowers Not to Embarrass :
Administration.


NEW YORK. November l7.-Dr.
Charles Fama. anti-Fascist leader, last
night issued a statement saying re-
Sponsible elements of the anti-Fascist
groups in New York were opposed to
any demonstration against Dino Grandt,
the Italian foreign minister, while be
visits the city 10
He said he had urged anti-FascistS
here to recognize that Signor Grand
is a guest of the American Government
and, irrespective of their disagreement
with the Italian foreign minister. that
they do nothing to embarrass the ad
ministration.
Earlier in the day directors of the
sent a telegram to President Hoover
deploring threats of demonstrations
against Signor Grand. They said, I'VE
believe the mission of Dino Grand Is
of common interest to the Italian and
American people," and that protests
against the foreign ministers visit do
not reflect the views and wishes of
Americans and Italians who. though
nom Fascists, are patriotic in the senti-
ments toward their own country and
believe in law and order and due respect
for duly constituted authority"
DR.. Fama's statement said "the on
position to Fascism among Americans
of Italian descent rested mainly on
anti-hyphenated principles: they resent
the Fascist position that Americans of
Italian ancestry still owe tribute and
adherence to the present Italian gov
eminent. though they have attained
American citizenship
The statement of DR.. Fama was is
sued after he conferred with Col. H.
Murray Jacoby, who was chairman of

the Hoover campaign and who repre-
sented the President at the recent coro-
nation in Abyssinia. Col Jacoby helped
to settle amicably differences between
Fascist and anti-Fascisti groups during
the 1928 presidential campaign.

For the Common Good"
Grand Defines Visit Effort to Make Italian Confri
button for Consolidation of Peace and
Restoration of Prosperity.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The necessity for cooperation
among all nations was stressed last
night by Dino Grandi. foreign min
lister of Italy. in his first public
statement after reaching Washing
ton.
Defining his visit as an effort to
make the italian contribution to
the common work for the common
good" he said the misfortune Of one
nation can never be the fortune of
the other
His statement, issued by q member
of his delegation after his tardy ar
rival, which prevented a proposed
conference with newspaper men,
follows:
Grateful for Kindness.
1T have come from the White
House where Signora Grand and /
have had the honor to be introduced
to President and Mrs. Hoover We
are OF course. most grateful for the
kindness shown to us by this cordial
reception on our very first arrival
In Washington.
Il hardly need to say all the in
terest I attach to the conversations
I am going to have with your Chief
Executive and with the Secretary Of
State. Mr.. Stimson.
President Hoover's initiative of
last June has marked the opening
Of o period Of intensified diplomatic
activity. The Presidents proposal
for one year poStponement Of inter-
governmental debts sounded through
out the world as a call to action.

facing the situation with a united
effort of cooperation. The timely
call Of your President was duly
answered and from that time the
responsible men Of every country
have been putting their heads to-
gether to find the best way out of
the difficulties of the moment.
StIms0n's Visit Welcome.
Secretary Stimson's visit to
Rome at the beginning Of July was
most welcome To be in personal
touch with him at that very mo-
ment was for us a most fortunate
circumstance We considered 1t
also a great good fortune that Mr..
Stimson was able to. be present at
the meetings which took place i'm
mediately afterward in Paris and
London between the representatives
of the countries chiefly concerned
in the application of the Hoover
plan.
There is no doubt that personal
contacts between the men who are
in charge of the foreign policies Of
their countries are most useful
contribution to better understand
ing among the nations.
Cooperation for Peace.
CAS- I had the opportunity to say
before, we have followed the visit of
M Laval to Washington with the
heartiest sympathy. In this visit
italy has seen, indeed, a very en-
couraging sign of the work for gen.
eral cooperation which is essential
to the consolidation of peace and
the restoration of prosperity.
I'm moment like the present one
feels strongly that the good of each
is the coed of all and that the mis-
fortune of one can never be the
fortune of the other. The interests
of the nations are linked together

have q powerful army and navy, italy
is the only one which sincerely desires
a drastic reduction of ornaments.
Whether her reasons are purely IDEALS
tic or whether they are dictated by
economic considerations is immaterial
The fact remains that she does want
disarmament as much as this country
does.
Italy Can Take Decisive Role.
While America can speak only from
o purely tdea1iStic angle not being di-
rectly interested in Europe's affairs.
Italy can take a decisive role at the
coming general disarmament confer
ence next February She is in the
midst Of Europe's turmoil and is sig
natory OF the pacts the United States
has signed. plus the Locarno pact. and
is q prominent member Of the League
Of Nations. As such she can be very
effective at the general disarmament
conference
Signor Grandi will undoubtedly touch
here upon certain problems which are
directly interesting to Italy; he expects
to have the sympathy of the admins
tration regarding the revision of the
Versailles treaty; he expects to find an
when he will tell him about the diff
culties Italy has in reaching a naval
agreement with France and become a
partner Of the London naval treaty
But he expects to discuss at length and
find an intensely interested partner in
the President when he begins dis
eussina the question of disarmament
and the best ways of approaching that
question at Geneva in order to achieve
results.
Has Influence Over Germany.
The Anslo-Saxon nations and the
Germanic nations are anxious to have
disarmament Italy is too. From the
conversations between the Chief MagiS-
trate Of this country and Italy's repre-
sentative Is expected to come out a
definite plan of action wherein Italy
might become together with Germany
and possibly Great Britain the main
protaeonfst Of the disarmament ques-
ton. ItaIy's role is so much more I'm
portant because she can exercise q
moderating influence on Germany. The
German thesis is that If France and
her allies do not disarnl-and they will
refuse to do so because they say that in
the light of what Is happening In the
Far East the solemnly signed treaties
are nothing but scrap of paper she
must be allowed to increase her military
forces, too.
This point Of view was expressed by
the Germans repeatedly and more es-
pecially during Grandis last visit to
Berlin The Italians, however. have
been able to convince the Germans that
such q thesis Is bound to be Ill received
by the rest of the world. Grand has
succeeded IN convincing the Germans
hat k1nx {rl1 OF Ia
ton that disarmament is vital and in
stead of adopting q threatening atti-
tdde, they should continue to demand
disarmament and nothing else. In this
policy Grandi has the full support of
the American Government

New YOrk.-It was at a little gathering the other afternoon cele- brating the dual fact that the Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, one of the last surviving Romanovs, had com- pleted her first year as an "Ameri- can working girP' and had had her autobiography, "rhe Education of a Princess" accepted as the book of the month.
 About the hotel salon moved a scattering of royalty and ex-royalty. There were literary figures such as the huge and towering Henrik Van Loon and the quietly ingratiating Andre Maurois; and, of course, there was the grand duchess herself, quick in aut reparee; even quicker in the American idiom.
 "A funny thing happened to-day" she began. "As I was leaving the store where I have been employed, an elderly man, who seemed to have something to do with the janitor's s staff came up and bowed low. had become d bit unaccustomed to this sort of thing in New York and was almost embarrassed for q moment. He explained that he had not ex- pected me to remember him-for he had been merely one of the court gardeners when 1 was a child. He remembered me playing about the garden paths-and did l mind him paying his respects?
 Tt seemed so far away here in the busy Fifth Avenue store, with shoppers scurrying about and that old fellow out of a life that now seems like some strange dream"
 
 And if you're interested in the re- actions of a grand duchess who has been mingling with the working folk of Manhattan, then take her word for it that she wouldn't have missed it for anything and she's trying to make good. She admits she has a lot yet to learn about Americans and American business, but she's picked up a great deaf.
 She finds the working girls worthy Of three rousing cheers; and she's disappointed at the self-conscious- of rich society women.
 "I wonder if you properly appfe- ciate your American working girls?" asks the granddaughter of Alexan- der II. What one has to admire is her perfect self-confidence and sense of se1f-reliance. In New York, every working girl I have met has made up her mind to be an executive some day-and she's going right after her goal. There is none of the feeling of servitude to be found among the European workers. As result, your working class hasn't the slightest trace of an inferiority complex"
 
 Alas, this isn't so true of the up- per classes l have met here. They have achieved their money and their independence, and yet they seem to me to suffer much from inferiority.

"In my year as a worker, it has been great part of my task to as- sist women of wealth and station in the selection of their attire. These women, with rare exceptions, are deadly afraid of originality. The slightest prospect of being different, or slightly conspicuous, sends them into flight.
 That's why you have so much uniformity in dress and, if you'll pardon me, so little individuality among women who should be the first to dress individually"
 Had the Grand Duchess had much of an opportunity of attending to individual selections or suggestions among the society women? Had she created any original vogue?
 "No," she admitted with a trace of disappointment. That has been my most difficult task. And yet it has made my job the easiest. For when everyone tries to dress much the same way, it makes it easier. One has merely to think in terms of mass ideas.
 Ut is, in way, one of the very surprising things one finds out. The women-they have so much money and they are so good-looking, and yet they are, for some reason, so, afraid that they will be the least bit original"

Glimpse modern candle factory.
 Within recent times Scotch shale has been distilled and made to pro- duce great amounts of parafIn wax. Shale is found in scores of lands be- sides Scotland, but Scotch shale is very well suited to producing wax Tn a space of five years it has given the world more than 100000 tons.
 When cord or "wisk" is placed inside such wax. it will burn slowly and produce a light which may be used for reading-if your eyes are good enough.
 Candles made from pure parann wax are soft, and are likely to bend in warm weather.
 Before the day of wax candles, tallOW was in wide use for the same purpose. Tallow is taken from fat in the bodies of sheep, cattle and other animals. A cotton wick dipped time and again into melted taliow produced candle.
 TafloW candles are rather dim. and they give off too much smoke when they are blown out
 In modern times we have better lights than candles can give. A single electric bulb may supply more light than 100 candles. Candle making is still an industry, however. Candles are burned in many churches, and we have them in our homes. Many persons like the soft glow of candles. and at holiday times candles are often burned.
 Best of all. when electric power Is cut off candle may give us a little light until repairs are made.
 Modern candles are often made Il.ytt 1T the substance known as "stcarine" Stearine is taken from tallow.
 On some of the South Sea islands small trees produce "candle-n |" Candle-nuts are burned by the na- tives. and take the place of candles.
