Provide Christmas Candles “And Christmas candles! South- ern areas which have never seen snow contribute to the multitudes o multi-colored candles for our loliday decorations. Every hostess who lights her table and church that illumines its altar with the candle’s soft gleam is in debt to Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Honduras, Chile or some other Latin American country. “Vegetable waxes are obtained from the leaves and branches of certain species of palm trees and desert bushes. In 1926 Brazil ex- ported more than 12,000,000 pounds of Carnauba vegetable wax, of which the United States took 40 per cent. Cousins to carnauba that also g0 northward to the candle shop are the ceroxylon palm wax ot Colombia and the candelilla wax of Mexico. All three of them lend a hand to modern industry, help- ing the candlemaker and popping up in other guises few persons could Buess: phonograph records, insula- tion for electric wires, tailor's chalk, carbon copy paper, floor pol- ixh, shoe polish, sealing wax and dental molds. Probably these vege- table waxes do not enter into the making of the shorter candles, but they do brace the tall ones, keeping them straight and unbending. ‘ountain Pens from Pampas “South and Central American trade fllustrates many surprises of nodern trade.
