dark eyes Siapping. II don't mind
working if she has a chance"
Desc is a violinist of no mean
ability himself. Visitors at his shop
often hear him playing the plaintive
tunes of his native Italy, on some
rare old violin. Sometimes he drifts
into the songs of Hungary, his
mothers homeland, or dreamy Aus
TRAN waltzes, or a jazzy Magyr
"Chardosh."
Among the instruments which he
displays with pride is what may
be a Stradivarius bearing the date
1923 and another dated 1921. One,
whose faded glory he keeps wrapped
in cotton batting, bears the almost
unbelievable date of 1879. Kiss de-
clares it has been the property of
his family for hundreds of years.
The grizzled little man was born
in Rome in 1877 and began learn
ing the art Of violin making when
he was years old. That, he says,
was customary in his family, which
has been manufacturing the instru-
ments since the fifteenth century.
He, too, is teaching his children the
trade ito make them happy" he
says.
Little Helen, 4, makes playable m
struments from cigar boxes and
wheedles simple tunes from them,
too. Joe, 10; John. IS; Eddie, 8,
and Ernie, 6, all have musical talent,
But Mary-DezSo's eyes grow
dreamy as he rests his hand, twisted
and SCARED now from his everlast-
ing shoe repairing, on the dark curls
of his most brilliant pupil.

lonesomeness in this strange land,

buy. Maybe your America may not
be so hard on my Mary"

U, S. FINISHES
BREAD PROBE
Pound Loaf Costs Average
of 8 IL Cents.

BU United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. PA pound
loaf of bread costs the American
family an average of more than
eight and one half cents, the Federal
Trade Commission said today in an
nouncing results Of its investigation
of the bread and -four industries.
Agencies Of production and dis
tribution from wheat field to the
consumer divided the cost of the loaf
in about the following proportions.
Farmer, lis cents; miller, CAL
cents; baker, Sill cents; grocer, 1923
cents; railroads and other handlers,
0.60 cents, making a total of 8.55
cents.
Three companies, the Ward, Gen
eral and Continental, with $50 bak-
ing establishments, produce almost
20 per cent of the total commercial
bread production of the country, the
commission reported.
Fifty-seven other companies man
ufacture 80 per cent. Despite these
large companies, which dominate the
baking industry, the commission
found that competition among
bakers Is keen.
Profits among wholesale bakers
were comparatively high in the six
year period, 1920 to 1925, and the
rate Of return on the total baking
investment was 1870 per cent, but
simultaneously there has been a
pronounced decline in bread prices
from the 1920 peak, the commission
added.

BY JOSEPH w. SULLIVAN
Art doesn't pay in this modern
world, according to Desc Kiss, de-
scendant of twenty generations of
italian violin makers, and himself
a master Of that craft.
In his little shop at 1926 w.
Washington ST., the walls Of which
are hung with unSold violinS, Desc
makes his living as a shoemaker,
and tries to forget the dreams he
brought to America as an immi-
grant boy.
1.-THE monograph and the radio
are running the violin business" ex-
plains Kiss, a swarthy little man
of perhaps so. IT came to America
to make the beautiful violin, but
nobody wants the fiddle any more.
So I fix Shoes" and he waves his
hand toward the rows and rows of
dilapidated footwear which await
his attention.
Adopts Shoe Repair Profession
Kiss came to America as a steer
age passenger thirty years ago-a
young man full of dreams OF great
accomplishment. But the new world
was cold and disinterested. For a
while he worked at his trade in New
York, but the large musical instru-
ment companies soon squeezed out
the independent artisans, and Kiss
was forced to seek other employ
ment. Gradually, he drifted west,
until he reached Indianapolis.
L was broke and I got job in a
shoe shop" he said. Nov when
am not busy I make violinS for
fun"
Kiss is doing we'll at his adopted
profession, he says. Living with his
wife and six children in a two-room
apartment above his place of bust
ness he is able to economic enough
to send his oldest daughter. Mary,
IA, to the best violin instructor in
Indianapolis.
Perhaps she may become a great
violinist like Kreisler," he says, his

CITY CONSIDERS
BRIDGE REPAIRS
North Side Improvements
Studied by Moore.

City Civil Engineer A. H. Moore
today was under orders of the board
of works to prepare for two major
north side improvement proposals:
l. To ascertain whether the city
will have money enough to resurface
and widen Meridian st. between Fall
Greek and Maple Rd. at approximate
cost of $1S6,OOO.
2. To prepare plans to keep Thir-
tieth ST. and Central Ave. bridges
from toppling into Fall Greek as did
the College Ave. bridge last spring
and to survey all other city bridges
and the Fall Greek retaining walls
for dangerous defects.
The board approved Moore's plans
for widening Meridian st. from
thirty-six to fifty feet Wednesday
afternoon, but postponed definite or
dering Of the project until it deter
mines whether there will be funds
enough tbs year to pay the citys
$4,000 share of the cost. Bene-
fitted property owners pay one
fourth and the city three-fourths.
Moore reported that the Thirtieth
st. and Central Ave. bridges already
have been undermined to the extent
that there is danger Of partial col
lapse within few years.
ITO act now might save many
thousands Of dollars later" re-
marked President Oren S. Hack.
The board was reminded that
parts of the Fall Creek retaining
walls have fallen into the water, per-
erosion which eventually will
eat away the banks and boulevard
roadways.
