Although the furni-

have expressed their re-
gret at having been un-
able to embrace the op-
portunities of the Feb
ruary Furniture Sale.
THE story of the Sale
Il is most interesting,
because tn e arrange
ment for the Sale itself
sprang from most unus-
ual and interesting cir
cumstances, of which we
are going to tell you. It
is q case where bad
weather in all quarters
and even bad luck in
some quarters worked
out for the best luck in
other quarters.
But first we will tell
you what the Sale is not.
It is not a clearaway
or "follow-up" sale of
such furniture as was
not bought up in the
February Sale. That
furniture has been re-
ticketed at re gular
prices and placed in our
regular stock on the
Fifth, Sixth and part of
the Seventh Floors.
Nor is it in any way
or form a continuation
Of the February Sale.
Now for what it is;
1t is an entirely new
sale of entirely new fur
niture (as we write
these words, more than
half of it is as yet un-
packed) of exceptional
value.
It represents our de-
termination to k e e p
faith with the public, to
whom we promised par
ticipation in the savings
resulting from the gi-
gantic scale Of our pur-
chases for last months

IN other words, one Of
L our big purchases of
high-grade period fur
niture reached us too
late for inclusion in the
February Sale, for
which it had been or
dered. Transportation
tie-ups delayed it after
it started, and it was
late in starting, for a
reason we are proud to
tell of:
The manufacturers
from JCH01l 10 DdS
ordered found that
through scarcity of
skilled labor and other
hiHdrGHces in their
business, then could
not deLiUer the goods at
the date for IUhich they
Icere scheduled and yet
make them mp to the
WGHamGker standard
of quality.
For our sake, your
sake and their OLDH rep
UtGtiOH's sake they re-
fused to do a hands
turn of inferior ICOrk,
and LCe honor them for
it. So the furniture
came in better tate
than ReUer, and better
ReUer than poor.

feet On the second leg of the trip between Memphis, Tennessee, and Payne Field, West Point, Mississippi, wishing to stop for lunch, he des- cended and was close to the ground over an abandoned race track when he suddenly found the air so thin he knew he could not get off this ground once he landed. He had diff ficulty in getting back to the upper currents again but by following a flock of birds which flew in ascend ing circle, he secured enough altitude to continue. Approaching West Point fine air was again encountered but over this town he ran into an cleo trical storm and was forced to des- cend
 With clear weather the next day he made 20 miles between West Point and Lonoke, Arkansas, without a stop though his gasoline gave out just as he arrived over Eberts Field, near this point, and Little Rock, Ar kansas Here bad weather held him up four days.
 Four hundred and fifty miles of the next leg between Ebert Field and Post Field, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, which had not been covered before in an airplane up to this time, proved the hardest task in his whole trip. He made the distance in nine hours of difficult flying over the Ozark Mountains and came down at Hugo, Oklahoma, for gasoline.
 He had made his course straight from Little Rock over the Czarks in an air line for Fort Sill but with nothing but rough carpet of high hills and thick timber under him as far as he could see, and on account of bad weather making, he aban- doned the air line to the west and veered to the south. Sixty miles in this direction from Hugo he en- countered gale of such force as to fell trees below him He attempted to rise over it, but was caught in a wedge of black clouds, held in the  grip of storm and for 35 minutes hung over Philadelphia, Arkansas. His plane settled from an altitude of coco to 5000 feet, and drifted about two miles side-wise when he finally broke through the storm and came oua miles off his course, but into dry weather. By compas calculations he picked up his direction again and landed at Fort Sill without further incident.
 Between Fort Sill and Wichita Falls, Texas, he again met bad weather and had to be satisfied with short mileage. From the Falls Captain Bartlett again failed to make Fort Worth on the day following

running into a stiff gale which held his ground speed down to 20 miles an hour and he landed in the dust at Bridgeport, just short of his de- tination.
 The next day he made Fort Worth without trouble but, leaving this post at 6:30 am, he encountered heavy storm and was again forced to land at Waco. Waiting here for the storm to pass he took off again under black clouds which hung as low as 600 feet and with a strong south wind along the ground He climbed to 5000 feet and there found clear aii and a brisk north wind. Corn husks blown from the ground followed him and birds carried by this wind flew above him at 5000 feet, an unusual altitude for them. He finished his 1,700-mile flight at 3:30 in the after noon, it having taken him since 6:3O in the morning to fly from Fort Worth, distance of some 295 miles.
