That Gift Problem Solred; Personal Touch Easy Ones;

By sIGRID ARNE

WASHINGTON, Dec. IF. = Th' Christmas gift problem IS slmple- than ever this year.
 For the woman who buys all !ie' nresents the stores are filled witr now and novel things suitable tc give any member of the fanny ar friend. Or for the woman Who wants tc make a few remembrance es fer close friends there are plen- tv of materials that may be pur- chased and made into presents easi1v The gift-makers apparent- 1v have given extra thought this wear to the home made present.
 Petit-point embroidery is engag- ;no many Washington women this wear Most of the embroiderers are giving their friends seat ana foot-stool covers for chairs when they have stolen in to measure at o6t times. These gifts are easy to make since the stores nave hundreds of patterns. some of them with the central figure-the hard est work-done. The background could be finished even in the short time left.
 One Washington woman is cover ina 4S ordinary match boxes wlVh bright paper. All it takes IS the paper, match boxes, a glue-pot and some patience. Measure the box and with a pencil and ruler 1ay out all the pieces of paper that will be needed. Then cut them and paste them on. The boxes aoo an attractive touch to the orloge table of the lucky person who re- ceives such gift.
 The young woman who does good deal of entertaining may pc happy to receive a maline bag to hang on her dressing table, fllleo with tiny powder puffs made oi cotton died with bright ribbons. And her guests will like using
 
 them.
 The fortunate woman who can turn delicious fruit cakes out o1 her oven should be busy right now particularly if she has any hurried apartment house dwellers on her list. It's a simple matter to buy the ingredients and make the cakes which last for months.

500 PAIRS. OF FEET ARE IN XMAS. SHOES

Give the honors to the Christmas season. It has come to be moral force-a civilizing influence of un- measured power. A western busi- ness man gave six hundred urchins of the street a Christmas present of six hundred pairs of shoes.
 Who can measure the effect Of putting six hundred pairs of feet into six hundred pairs of shoes and Christmas joy into the empty lives of six. hundred struggling boys? It made, Christmas the brightest spot in all their years. It brought the vision of hope and gave a nobler conception of the world. It turned six hundred pairs of feet, for a time at least, into the paths that lead toward success Many of them will reach the goal.
 Those shoes, perhaps, will turn a score of boys, poorly born, away from a career of crime and give to the world score of strong and helpful men. The unselfish i'm pulses prompted by. the Christmas spirit have never been the urge to incidence or crime. . William L. Gaston.

CONFAB BROKE DOWN
 BECAUSE DIFFERENCES

LONDON April 8. - Owing to France and England's inability to reconcile their views with those of Germany and Italy, the Four Power conference here broke down.
 The collapse reulted after fail ure to agree on the French plan for Danubian economic union of the central European states. The failure involved defeat for France and partial setback for Italy and Germany, but does not necessarily mean collapse of efforts toward aiding the central European crisis because discussions will be resumed later, probably at Geneva, or in Paris.
 France and Britain claimed that because they had larger invest ments in those countries and be- cause they were putting up the bulk of a loan to be made to those countries, that they should come ahead of Italy and Germany in reference to trading privileges. The latter two, however, stood pat on wanting their share of these privileges.
