Home. Feb. q tP'-"zio D'Amor- ica" which means American un- cle," has become a farorite phrase in Italy.
 It is the equivalent of the Amer ican phrase rich uncle" or rich aunt" and means that someone here has just come into money because of the death Of a relative in Amer ica.
 Whenever an Italian hitherto of modest means suddenly blossoms out with new clothes and perhaps a little automobile, the Italians, in stead of saying that he has taken to bootlegGing, shrug their shoul-

 BLOSSER ID DRAW
Creator Of "FreCkleS" SketChed
 Teddy in White House

A group of youngsters who were winners in q cartoon prize contest, some years ago, were taken to Washington and through the White House, as a reward to shake the hand of Teddy Roosevelt, then presi- dent.
 While the other boys passed on, one little younGstcr Jagged behind. Finally he grabbed a pad of paper rom the presidents desk and made a sketch Of the great man, then there.

 And he kept the youngster with him half the day chatting with him and encouraging him to keep on with his drawing.
 This was the experience that real Ky convinced Merrill C. Blosscr, the

MERRILL BLOSSER

artist who has drawn the famous kid comic, ''FreCkles and His Friends for years, that he should be an artist.
 Tor Blosscr it was who brought forth the boistorous, Bully" from Roosevelt.
 Blosser really is a chap who never grew up. When a kid, Merrill was q real kid. And when he grew older, he still remained a kid.
 All the boyish whimsicality of his nature finds expression in his comic strip.
 Blosser was born at Nappanee. Ind, in 1892. In his carly school days he developed a fondness for drawing. His parents encouraged him and had him take lessons: but unfortunately the first public exhibi- lion of his talents took the form Of 3 series Of caricatures of the high school faculty, and Blosscr was ex- pcllcd from school.
 This, as may be imagined. failed so depresS him very much. He kept on drawing and shortly won the con- test that brought him the Washing ton trip.
 Following that thrilling visit, he Kept at the drawing board and finally landed a job drawing illus 1rations for a motorcycle magazine in Chicago. But the task of draw ing all 2 motorcycles many and varied ContraptiOns correctly was 100 much for him. and he soon fled fled as far as Wheeling, W. Va. where he landed in the art depart ment Of The Register.
 There followed a year or SO of routine work. Then Blosser moved 10 Cleveland and got job as sports cartoonist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He kept this job a year: then migrated to Chicago again and won a position with the Newspaper Enterprise Association. leading newspaper feature syndicate. which .hen had it's headquarters there.
 He hadn't been with NEA long before it was discovered that he liked to sketch kids. He was put to work drawing q onc-column kid feature, and in a week was told 10 expand it 10 full comic strip size.
 That was the birth of "Frcckles and his friends.' And, ever since, Blosser has been drawing the fa- nous band of little characters who S"om 10 actually liye-in comic strip.

iers and murmur, "Zio. D'America. :
 Emigration Decreases

The American uncle." however, has in actuality not been so active recently as in former years. Musso- lini's stoppage of emigration to for eign lands and the United States immigration laws have combined to limit the flow of Italians to Amer ica.
 Those who have been in the United States for some years grad ually feel their attachment to their fatherland lessened, and their wills are more concerned with their rela- tives in their new country than those they left behind them. It is usually the emigrant Of a few years
 in the United States who is most regular in sending money back to his native land.
 "Zio D'America," moreover. is in many cases deceptive. Tho American consulatos in Italy. as well as the police departments Of both Italian and American cities. are constantly being asked by some family or other 10 trace relatives in America who are supposed to nave died and left large sums of money. In most cases. the records on which the requests are based arc so imperfect, or so unfounded. that the relatives are never found.
 But America continues 10 be a land of hope for Italian relatives of emigrants who have gone to try their luck. They look toward the west and dream of the time when "Zio D'America' will mean some thing enormous in their lives. We got what we wantcd-thanks to the Herald Classified Ads.

WOMAN ROUTS
TWO k|DNAPERS
Screams Bring Assistance,
Men Escape on Foot.

While one woman routed two at
tempted kidnapers by screaming on
Wednesday night, police failed to
find any trace of a screaming wom-
an in a car speeding on Illinois
street, near st. Clair street.
No report had been made to po-
lice today by any woman victim OF
assailants, although witnesses told
police Wednesday night two men
grabbed a woman at Ohio and ILL
nois streets and sped north while
she screamed and waved her arms
from the windows of the car.
Mrs. Carl Reeves, Al, of 2111 East
St. Clair street, reported to police
that two men leaped from an auto
mobile which drew up to the curb
beside her and that the two at
tempted to drag her into the car.
She screamed as one attempted to
cover her mouth.
A. L. Seal, $50 Gray street, ran to
her aid and shouted for a revolver.
When residents of nearby houses
ran out, the men dropped Mrs.
Reeves and attempted to start their
car. The motor stalled and they
fed on foot. The car had been
stolen from Twenty eighth street
and Central avenue and was owned
by Mrs. G. E. Chatf1eld, 425 West
Forty-fourth street.

TREASURY STATEMENT
CHICAGO STATEMEr
In the Stock Market
(Bv Thomson q McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-One CT
the most encouraging things in the
present upward movement In Sc
curity prices Is the absence of other
than actual trade improvement as
a reason for the revival of conf
dence. Sound basic business funda-
mentals alone have changed the
entire financial picture Neither re-
duced rediScount rates nor other
stimulation has been necessary to
bring home to investors the attrac-
tive opportunities available. OF
course the amazing improvement in
the steel industry is the outStand-
ing trade development, and a fairly
reliable indication of what We may
expect from other industries as We
approach spring. Judging by steel
orders placed by the motor COM
panies, We should also be favored
with decided improvement in the
automobile industry. Thus far these
shares have been tagging in spite
OF the low ratio of selling price to
indicated earnings. We are inclined
to look for the motor shares to be
the next to attract both Specula-
tive and investment purchases. and
I recommend this group as merit
ing careful consideration. We feel
that the markets technical position
has not been materially impaired
by the recent advance, and that
such reactions as may develop from
time to time will be both moderate
and short lived.

PLANS FOR new

ARE SUBMITTED
Sketches for Construction
Call fer Expenditure of
$1,5O0,000.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Prelim-
mary sketches for the proposed ST.
100000 addition to the Indianapolis
poStoffice and Federal building were
submitted to Representative Louis
Ludlow today by the supervising ar
chitect of the treasury department.
Previous estimates had placed the
cost of the project at 100000.
The proposed addition would be of
Indiana limestone to match the
existing structure and would cor
respond in architectural detail. APP
proximately $4,000 feet of floor
space would be provided in upper
floors for federal courts and other
Offices, and $1,000 square feet would
be added to the floor space for
postoffice purposes.
The addition will have a 340-foot
frontage on New York street and
depth of about 100 feet. The plans
provide for retention of the present
sunken driveway as the service ap-
proach for vehicles of all kinds and
the addition would be constructed
over the driveway so the building
will be continuous and symmetrical
from Ohio to New York streets.
Two long corridors, one parallel
to Meridian street and the other to
Pennsylvania street, connecting with
the present main corridor in the
building at right ANGLES, are pro-
vided. Between 10000 and $4,000
cubic feet of Indiana limestone will
be required for erection of the ad
dition.

And if you don't believe Daddy
Shipman can hear you, just step
up to him and say, Give me
New York World"
Quickly, and without hesitation
his wind worn hand lifts out the
paper asked for and passes it to
you. Try him on any paper, any
magazine, and the result will be
the same. He didn't hear you
but he saw you and what he saw
were your lips framing the words,
"Give me a New York World
THEN drop around to Nc
l. Graw's stand. They're friends
and Shipman won't mind your
patronizing his buddy. Ask him
for a paper and no matter the
money you offer him or the paper
you ask for he finds the paper
and change without an effort. He
can tell you intuitively how tall
you are, whether you're young or
old, and still he can't see.
But the feat is to get the two
of them together. McGraw who
never has seen his buddy at
"newsyending, says Sell me ten
Times, Shipman."
Shipman's reply is to hand him
the papers. McGraw could ask
for the "Tanktown Bazoo" or any
other of the varied dailies and
as quick as his lips could form
the words the papers would be in
his hands.
At his post on Pennsylvania
street, Shipman is a constant in
formation bureau for strangers in
the city Who, unaware of his deaf
ness. ask him every question from,
Where is the World War me-
morial?" to whether "the Coffin
golf course has eighteen holes"
Without resort to pencil or pad,
Shipman answers the questions
as they are asked.
1T isn't hard to read lips" says
Daddy Shipman. Mems are
harder than women. Women pro-
nounce their words more easily
arid simply. Men say things way
down in their threats or out of
the corner Of their mouth"
DOTH McGraw and Shipman
ID are quick to disabuse you of
the idea that their Affections aid
them in their sales.
cts what you've got to holler-
whether you sell out or not" ex-
plains McGraw who never has
read the "Extry! piper, all about
the double murder" which he
"hollers."
Shipman agrees with him. but
YoucheS that his twenty-five years
of "hollering' at the Pennsylvania
street corner has thinned down
his voice.
1T sounds like a nutmeg crater,

losing a voice he's not heard in
twenty-five years yelling the daily

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-Wheat op-
ened about steady on the Board of
Trade today, due to improved for
cngn cables and reaction from
Wednesdays weakness. Liverpool
and Buenos Aires were considerably
stronger and Winnipeg was being
closely watched for signs Of a
change. Corn and oats were still
slightly off.
At the opening wheat was 4 cent
lower to % cent higher, corn was
unchanged to g cent off, and oats
was unchanged to 4 cent down.
Provisions were firm.
Liverpool was y cent to y cent
higher in the day, due to reports
that an Argentine government eSti-
mate had lowered the December
estimate on the crop, Buenos Aires
showed strength and was / cent to
is cents higher around mid-ses-
sion. Winnipeg was being closely
watched by local operators for a
trend. Sales by Russia Wednesday
were smaller than believed and I'M
less further offerings appear the ef-
feet will be negligible.
Corn was somewhat unsettled by
the weakness in wheat, but buying
by the east continued favorable.
Country movement was light, al
though favorable weather prevails
over the corn belt. Farmers con-
tinued to hold better grades for i'm
proved market.
Fairly heavy liquidation by tired
longs on the decline carried oats to
new low for the season Wednes-
day. Depression in wheat was the
large influence, however, as there
was no individual feature in oats.
