sorry that he had been
afflicted.
The next time she saw him
she gave him dime, not, as
she told herself, to be on the
safe side, but because there
was not so much in her purse
and the prospects weren't
good. Again he said, God
bless you, Miss" and tapped
on past her.
This went on for months.
She would not see him every
day. Sometimes she'd see him
twice or three times a week.
Other times she wouldn't see
him for two or three weeks.
1t all depended upon when
she got up and where she was
going or coming from.
She didn't give him a quar-
ter again until she got her
job in the chorus. Up to then
she dropped nickels or dimes
or pennies in his cup. And al
ways he said:
God bless you, Miss"
TRIES TEST
It began to obsess her. Did
he really know that she was
a Miss" or did he say that
to every woman If he knew,
how did he know? Was he
really blind or was he a
faker? One day she and Irene
Taub, a chorus girl and her
good friend, met Shawn on
Forty-fifth street.
This beggar always calls
me Miss" Doreen said. ~

l even wonder If he's blind.
I'm going to find out"
She fumbled in her purse
and found a nickel. 1t was
easy. There was only a nickel
and dime and three pennies
and a quarter there. As
Shawn tapped his way abreast
of them. Doreen dropped it
in his cup.
God bless you, Miss" said
Shawn.
How do you know I'm a
Miss ." Doreen asked him
quickly.
SHE is YOUNG
He stopped and turned
slowly so that he faced her,
and his sightless eyes were
steady just over Doreen's
head. He began slowly to
smile.
81 don't know" he con-
fessed, but 1 think you are
because you're young. You're
hardly more than a child"
How do you know that"
Doreen persisted.
81 know 1t by your walk"
he told her and his smile
grew. 81 know more than
that about you"
Tell me-" Doreen pressed
eagerly.

hind his tapping cane with a
lineup held suggestively be-
fore him. He made no attempt
to draw attention to himself.
He did not beg for aims.
He just walked along.
He was a big man, just
turning gray. His sightless
eyes were blue. but his face
was red and jolly. There were
crinkles at the corner of the
eyes.
The first time Doreen saw
him, she had a lot of money
in her purse and she reached
for a quarter and dropped it
into the cup. 1t went home
with a jingling thud and
Shawn murmured:

Afterward, Doreen Won

knew that she was, first a

she hadn't given him the
money because he was blind,
but because he was a beggar.

SHE is AN EYEFUL

You might say. looking at
Doreen, that if her father was
one, he was a lucky beggar.
You've seen her, of course,
in the three years she has
been before the public. The
blonde with the blue eyes, the
full mouth and the form that
has made her the American
coiiegian's sweetheart and the
average mans idea of how a
lady should look.
Doreen is partly to blame
for the persistence of the
ridiculous story that her
father is Shawn Devlin, a
blind beggar still plying his
trade in the midtown district
of New York. She has never
troubled to deny it. She has
always greeted it with a
laugh.

Uhrecorded Capital
Entering u. 5. Set al
$1,SO0,0O0,000
Concealed Axis Funds
Included in Figure
For 16-Month Influx
By OLIVER MCKEE.

During the first 16 months OF the
war, the movement of foreign cap
ital to the United States exceeded by
approximately $1,000, 100000 the
amount reported by banks and other
agencies to the Treasury. the Com
merce Department estimated today.
This estimate was contained In q
report on the 1910 balance of inter-
national payments of the United
States, prepared under the direction
Of Hal B. Larry and Paul D. Dickens.
The flight Of private capital under
conditions that, by accident, or de-
sign. excluded the funds from
foreign-owned balances as reported
by American banks to the Treasury"
was a major factor In the vast un-
reported inflow of foreign capital IN
the United States, according to the
report.
Much in Axis Funds.
In addition to the unrecorded flow
of private capital. there has also
been a large concealed moveemnt OF
funds to this country by the Axis
since the beginning of the war, the
report disclosed.
"Such funds have doubtless been
remitted, possibly via some neutral
country. to domestic agents OF the
governments concerned" 1t was ex-
planned.
"Old accounts previously estao-
ished here could also have been
shifted to domestic parties, and held
in cash for purposes Of conceament.
Such transfers probably have been
made on a substantial scale BY the
Axis powers because Of this coun-
try's increasing opposition to AXIS
policies"
No estimate was given Of the vol
ume of the undercover transfer OF
Axis funds to the United States.
In recent years, many OF the
European refugees coming to this
country had taken steps. previous
To their arrival, to build up bank
balances in the United States. the
report pointed out. Upon the ar
rival of the owners, these accounts
were changed from foreign to do
mestic addresses" 1t said.
MANY other individuals who have
not taken personal refuge IN this
country have nevertheless attempted
to find a safe haven here for their
fortunes, both large and small. For
nurposes Of concealment from ex-
change control authorities. or for
other reasons, these holdings have
heen nlaced under domestic names
in many instances, or have other
wise lost their foreign identity"
Continental Europe accounted for
about half the unreported capital
inflow of 81, 300 900. 900, and the Far
East and Latin America, most OF
the other half, according to Com
merce Department estimates.
