ADVANTAGE TO BUY
FURNITURE NOW.
February, Dealers Say, 10 Best
Time, for Various
Reasons.

At present special sales are being
conducted in practically all the furni-
ture stores In Wilmington. The mana
gers OF three OF the lnrest stores.
when spoken to on the subject by n
representative OF Every Evening were
unanimous In considering the present
the best time to buy furniture.
Furniture Is cheaper now than II
has been and prices Will inevitably
rise. as business conditions In most
places are not MS depressed as here,
they agreed. Already certain Grand
Rapids firms are beginning TO make
a small increase In Wholesale prices.
Another reason given for the low cost
here is the keen competition. which
started among wholesalers and now
has spread TO retail merchants In
Wilmington fewer persons have been
buying within the last year, and tho
merchants are willing to sacrifice
profits In order 20 exchange surplus
furniture for money
All agreed also on the advantage OF
buying from local merchants rather
than in Philadelphia or other larger
cities. The stores here buy for the same
price as the stores In larger cities.
and as they have lower overhead ex-
penses, they can afford TO sell more
cheaply, II was pointed out. Will
mington is poted for having so many
reputable furniture stores, which are
known for a fact to sell the same
grade Of furniture cheaper than In
Philadelphia. The variety here ls as
great as could be found anywhere, al
! though there are fewer pieces OF n
kind. Moreover the personal service
and friendly cooperation Of the local
stores work to the advantage Of the
purchaser by assuring him of good
quality and immediate adjustments.
Another reason for taking advantage
OF the February furniture sales Is
the excellent grade OF furniture now
being produced. During the war man
ufacturers produced poor grade. ow-
ing to scarcity of material and laol,
OF expert worlSmen. Now all furni-
ture factories are In condition TO pro-
duce finally finished furniture for the
lowest possible price. Moreover,

are turning over their stock through
the present sales.

Exodus Of Many Swedes To U. s.
 From Aalands

Stockholm, April 15.-The exodus of Swedes from the Aala.nd islands to the United States has begun. Sev- eral groups of about 50 persons each already are on their way to America.
 Sweden appears to be alarmed over this new tide of emigration although it is not large in volume, but no student of the Aaland situation is surprised. The islands, which lie in thet mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia be- tween Sweden and Finland and Rus sia. About a year ago the Council of the League of Nations awarded the islands to Finland
 Sweden accepted the decision, but the Aalanders have never made any secret of their disappointment, the overwhelming majority of them be- ing of Swedish blood. The popula- ton of the islands is only about 25,- 900 and Sweden is anxious to have this stock remain Swedish even un- der Finnish rule.
 The Stockholm press says that the Aalanders are among the best that She Swedish race has to offer. being physically strong, hard-working and intelligent and from the American point of view, ''desirabes.'

French Insanity Bill Opposed
 By Deputies

Paris. April 1.-The bill intro duced in the Chamber of Deputies by Andre Tardieu and Georges Almond making insanity a legal ground for divorce has met with considerable opposition. The bill provided that g. husband or wife should be entitled to bring an action for divorce after the person to whom he or she was married had been detained for three years in a recognized lunatic asylum and if competent medical auth critics declared the patient was mentally de- fcient beyond hope of recovery.
 The measure is opposed on the ground that no physician is sufficient ly infallible to be able to state that a case is hopeless beyond recovery.
 Confirmed opponents of all changes in the French divorce laws are draw ing distressing pictures of the incur able patient recovering and return ing to the bosom of his family to find his wife married again.
 Andre Tardieu. one of the authors of the bill, was a member of the last cabinet of Premier Clemenceau and was French High Commissioner in America during the world war.
 Insanity was a ground for divorce in France 100 years ago. In Germany, Switzerland and other countries it is considered legitimate grounds for di- vorce, although the laws vary in inn portant particulars in each country.

 Belief was freely expressed in Con gressional circles that the toll of life taken in the Roma faAl would have been lessened if the craft had been filled with helium instead of hydro gen, which burst into flame and caus- ed most of the deaths.
 Lanham points out that the Gov ernment has a monopoly on the pro duCtion of helium at the Govern ment-Owned plant at Fort Worth, Tex. This plant, however, is now idle.

 The door to the building was open and no attendants were in sight The proprietor evidently depended on the honesty of his customers, who help ed themselves, to put the proper amount of money in the box.

that good use was being made of a
number of portable poultry houses
These were of good size and were on
runners made of heavy jolsts. The

10 Helpless In the Early
Morning Hours

Chicago.-Twenty thousand motor
men, conductors and guards on surface
and elevated lines went on strike at
o'clock Tuesday morning and the
greater part of the working portion
of Chicago's nearly 100000 persons
were forced to seek improvised trans
portatlon.
As usual, all rolling stock avail
able, including every variety of
wheeled, puIlable pushable or mo-
torized vehicle, was inadequate, and
the brunt of the traffic fell on
"shanks' mare" Thousands started
early afoot, and from we'll before
dawn streets and avenues leading to
the business and manufacturing dis
tricts seethed with pedestrians.
Streets in the down town district
automatically became one way
thoroughfares. But even that action
by the police department. was not
enough to avoid badly tangled jams
of traffic.
Hundreds of jitney buses from sur
rounding towns were in the job with
the break of day, having been sum-
moned days ago by Charles G. Fitz-
morris, chief of police, when a strike
appeared to be inevitable.
The walkout really began at II
O'Clock Monday night, when the sur
face carmen ending runs at that hour
took their cars to the barns. From
then on, as runs were finished, the
motormen and conductors left off
work, and in the early hours of the
morning the number of cars on the f.
streets gradually dwindled to zero.
Negotiations have been under way
between the surface line workers and
he surface line owners for several
lays, after posting of an order for
wage reduction of approximately II
