'STOCK MARKET IS
 FIRM AND STEADY
Occasional SetbackS Do Not
 Influence Issues

New York, Nov. 1s P)-Despite occasional set backs, the stock mar ket continued to display a firm tone today, responding to expressions of confidence in the business outlook implied by the more liberal dividend policies of important industrial com panies and the Standard Oil com pany's projection of a 200,000,000 financing program.
 A five per cent rate for call money probably accounted for the more cautious attitude regarding specula- tive operations, although the tight ening was attributed solely to the mid-month shifting of funds for div idend and interest payments. Its ef- fects were tempered by substan- tial reduction in brokerage loans for the week ended November 10.
 Wall streets belief that some of the more prosperous steel companies would join the growing number of corporations paying larger dividends led to renewed bidding for these is sues. |. S. Steel sold above 153, 6 new high on the current movement, although Chairman Gary was quoted as saying that no dividend changes had been considered or discussed. Sloss Sheffield rallied six points. Reports Of steady trade promised a demand for General Motors, Amer. ican Can and various food shares, including the ,OoSe NVileS Riscuit and Beechnut Packing issues.

MONUMENTS FOR THE |MM0RTALS
Chicago Man Left Fortune for
 This Purpose

Chicago, Nov. 16. tP-The answer of twenty leading patrons of art, in cluding several captains of industry, to the question what persons and events in American life deserve the immortality of stone or bronze is be- ing written, deliberately, in the B. r. Ferguson monuments.
 Benjamin Franklin Ferguson in 1905 left million dollars. virtually his entire estate, to be administered by the trustees of the Art Institute for the erection in Chicago of "en- during" monuments "commemorat- ing worthy men or women of Ameri- ca or important events of American history"
 Taft's "Fountain Of Time,
 An example of the trustees idea Of an important event is Lorado Taft's Fountain of Times, 'celebrat- ing the hundred years and. more of peace following ratification of the Treaty of Ghent in 1915. The subject was proposed by MT. Taft and by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
 Figures resembling the mailed swashbucklers of the Dark Ages, in retreat" said c. E. Kaitenbach, registrar of the museum of the In stitute, in explaining the conception, signify the years of the war, marching definitely out Of human to niN A era of peace. The form of the group suggests a wave in the sea of time, a pillow which has spent it's force.
 For the treaty of Ghent signal ized the magnificent experiment of the great unfortified. ungarrisoned Canadian boundary"
 Six Already Chosen
 Art knows no geographical bound aries. as shown when the trustees asked a Jugoslav. Ivan Mestrovic, a noted sculptor in the public eye today. to undertake for probable erection on Michigan Boulevard a colossal bronze memorial to the American Indian. It is being cast in Mestrovic's workshop at Vagleb.
 Monuments to individuals. thus far. commemorate a statesman, musician. missionary explorer, a poet, and a business man, Ferguson himself.
 "The trustees are making haste slowly in their decisions as to what persons are worthy and what events important" pr. kaltenbach said. There is a building in Paris called the mausoleum Of monuments. There are deposited the heroes of yesterday who have been taken from their pedestals. We do not want to supply another mausoleum."

AMERICAN NEWS IN
 ITALY IS STALE
Generally Gets There Second
 or Third Hand

Rome, Nov. 16. P-Political edi- torials and editorial-news stories are the chief item of newspaper diet in Italy.
 American news usually comes sec ond or third hand. through London Or Paris. in the form of clippings from old American newspapers. No regular telegraphic correspondents are maintained in the United States, and notifications of American poli- tics and the details of American federal and state government ap- parently mostly are a mystery. When Charles E. Hughes visited Rome he was greeted by the news papers as the iliustrious vise-p presi- dent of the United States"
 Like Freak Stories
 Preference Is given to freak and other events putting the United States in the position Of the hearth of stupendous occurrences are good for paragraph or two.
 Italian newspapers rely for well over half of their pictures on clip pings from American newspapers. In some cases the original captions are freakishly changed. In others, they are dropped altogether and re- placed by odd substitutes.
 A picture of Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford showing them visiting a children's asylum and hold ing two infants in their arms was captioned: Movie stars with their two lovely children" After q re- cent disaster, a picture read: Show ing the damage in the flourishing town of Loo King West"
 Display Ads Unknown
 The newspapers generally are six pages in size. Foreign news finds little space in thcm, almost all of it being of political nature, mostly referring to matters in which Italy is interested or concerned.
 . The typical makeup devotes all of the first and most of the second page to lengthy editorial articles and GultOIldlS-DtWS SlOTltS 0tNOltl to domestic politics. Similar articles about the particular foreign politi- cal situation which happens to be are sandwiched among these. From one-half to full page each are devoted to local and do- nestle news. Advertising seldom eX- ceeds one full page. Display adVer- Using is wholly unknown.
 On the average, the activities Of Premier Mussolini monopolize from on-fourth to one-third of all the type used. Events referring to the Fascist Party and Fascist Govern ment run the total of domestic (and FascisD politics to between onC-half and two-thirds of all the news. This, however, varies greatly particularly when the premier is doing something when he may take mp two or three entire pages all to himself.
