As the size of hisbook increased, he used a push cart. His mission soon brought him tb America, where^he traveled over the 48 states of the tftiion gather- ing signatures of business, political and professional leaders, becoming a citizen of this country December 29, 1910. , " ' Afterward he took passage for Aus- tralia, visited China, Japan , India, Egypt and the Holy Land, South Africa and New Zealand, and re- turned by way of Europe ^to^ Canada and so to his home in Philadelphia. In opening his immense volume and requesting the signature of President H. H. Rice of the Cadillac company, Mikulec exhibited the signatures of five United States presidentsâ€"Theo- dore Roosevelt, William H. Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. He showed the autographs ofl Lloyd George, Lord Curzon, the Prince of Wales, Count Lubomirski, Polish ambassador W. Wroblewski, the president of China, Admiral Togo of Japan, J. Pierpont Morgan and other financial leaders, presidents of many insurance com- panies, a long list of United States senators, American ambassadors to foreign countries, foreign ambassa- on dors to this CoWtry, and many noted Throughout the years, Josepn mik- uleo lectures wherever he happens to for a few weeks and using his earnings for an ^theHourney^ He-dr^s-nv* *H»gf- but spotless uniform of blue denim, wears a round blue and white soft hat and cultivates a soft brown beard., ^fti'i .?«w .?? •vxr,.--^ ^ .. .

Obtaining sig- natures seems to him apparently more a matter of "making the rounds than one of diplomacy and effort. J. Pierpont Morgan's signature, he said, was easily obtained, because he had previously met Mr. Morgans repre- sentatives in Paris, and had letters vouching for his own reliability.

The fertile fields of Iowa beckon and the rich experiences of his life of travel clamor for the telling. He has brothers and other relatives back m Croatia whom he hopes to bring to America, and between tilling the soil, cultivating orchards and writing of his wanderings among the leaders of all lands, he looks forward to many years of activity growing directly from his faithful pursuit of autograph collection. 1924 FORD TO HAVE A HIGHER RADIATOR Introduction of a higher radiator, bringing new and improved body lines to all types of Ford cars is announced today by local dealers. The changes have already gone into effect and the various types are * now in production. While the larger radiator has been made standard on all types and while it has made possible other betterments in body design, there is no radical de- parture in construction but rather a gen- eral improvement, which has resulted in more graceful lines. Most conspicuous among the new types is the Ford coupe which is of entirely new body design and construction, resulting in a more trim appearance, more comfortable seating arrangement and a greater luggage carrying capacity. Marked, too, is the improventerit^m the four door sedan. Highly popular since its production a year ago because of its low, graceful lines, the car now presents even much better lines and a sturdier appearance. This has been brought about by the installation of an entirely new cowl with a graceful sweep from the dash blending into the larger hood and radiator. The change also affords an increase iu_JejL occupantsof the ^ffont seat In the open types, the touring car and runabout, the cowl has-been en- larged and flows in a graceful curve to the higher hood. These~new Ford types and the gen- erally recognized performanceâ€"abthty- of the Ford under all motoring con- ditions, promise to bring a greater de- mand than' ever before as the public be- comes fully acquainted with the higher standards and greater values which have been incorporated. No changes are con- templated in prices.
