A check on the number of re- quests for furniture moving on or about the first of the month made at the offices of several of the larger moving companies this morning indicates that far more than the usual amount of transfers to new residences will be made this spring. E.
 officials of two of the companies questioned said that business has already shown an enormous in- crease over figures for this time last year. They were at a loss to explain the reason for the increase but attributed 1t partly to the bet- torment of business conditions generally.

First Lady's Secret Visit
To Mrs. Dali Is Ended

Mrs. William Dana, who own the
Arrowhead D Ranch.
Secrecy was thrown about the
visit of Mrs. Roosevelt. Every ef-
fort is being made to shield Mrs.
Dali from publicity.
Mother and daughter were al
most constantly in each others
company during Mrs. Roosevelt's
visit. Mrs. Roosevelt enjoyed
again seeing her grand children,
Eleanor Ann Dali, Z, and Curtis
Dali, 4, who lived at the White
House with Mrs. Dali during the
past year.
Mrs. Roosevelt on several morn
ings arose early and went horse
back riding in the Desert Canyon
back roads with Mrs. Dana.
After her five-day visit Mrs.
Roosevelt left as quietly as she
came. Even the local newspapers
had no information that she had
been in the vicinity.

his reputation.
"T'll tell you what I'll do"
he finally asserts, "I'll make the
coat for you for 500. But it's
a great sacrifice I'm making
and you must promise me on
your word of honor that you'll
tell nobody about this. I don't
want people to know what a
fool I've been."
Deal Is Set
Mrs. Banks quickly makes her
promise. The deal is set. Then,
bidding Mr.. Schlingbaum a
joyous good-by, she rushes
home to tell her husband the
news. She is getting new coat
for the new year. And what a
bargain. It was number 40; q
$500 value for only 500!
Mr.. Banks-in spite of his
name, or perhaps because OF it
doesn't quite see the idea of
spending even $50 at this time.
But my DEAR" he begins,
"that much money is"
He gets no further. Mrs.
Banks repeats her story. Mr..
Banks squirms uneasily. The

Does Mr.. Schlingbaum remem-

Indeed he does, replies MIR.
Schlingbaum. And does Mr..
Schlingbaurn have something
exceptionally nice for Mrs. Banks
at the established price of 500?
MIR. Schlingbaum smiles soft"
1y. Gently, very gently, he
strokes his 1875 samples of the
''finest muskrat that money can
buy" 2-
Lady" he states, IT have
here my samples, and they are
all the same price. Look them
over carefully and pick the one
you want. Never again, I prom
ise you, will you ever find such
a bargain"
So Sally Banks looks at this
sample and that one. Then she
looks at that sample and this
one. Then she looks at them
over again. Mr.. Schlingbaum
stands by and says nothing.
Sally mods suddenly.
"All right" she says. "1'u take
number forty-nine."
Mr.. Schlingbaum starts. He
clears his throat. He vets his
lips. He is obviously i'll at ease.
"You see," he explains after
reviving himself, mine is a Pc
culiar business. Here you see
125 samples. Out Of 124 Of
these, at 500, I make a profit.
Not much profit, I assure you.

IF you take number forty
nine, 1t will cost me $4O0 on the

amazed. But she quickly returns
to normal. After all, she does

I could have my pick at 500.
That was your boast as a mer-

Well. Mr.. Schlingbaum hens

A Coat For the New
Year

One Of the first stories
about a coat, l suppose, con-
Germs Joseph and his breth-
rem. Our little tale for today
takes in Joseph and a coat,
too. The only difference oc-
ours in the fact that we have
jumped some thousands Of
years-and our Joseph is
just plain Joe Banks.
Now Joe Banks, unfortunate
creature, is afflicted with a
common disease. He has a wife.
A sort of Joseph and his both
erern, as it were. His wife, too,
suffers from a malady that is
peculiar to her kind. She has
decided that she needs new
coat for the New Year.
Now, as you know-or as you
will probably discover If you
don't know-the first thing a
wife does when she wants a new
coat for New Year is to consult
her friends. The subsequent
talk with hubby doesn't come
until later. And that is rarely
o talk; it's a demand.
So we find Sally Banks, her
mind set on a coat. chatting
easily with one of her pals, Lizzie
King. And Lizzie King, quite
naturally, knows just the place
for genuine bargain. Indeed,
not only does Lizzie King know
just the place, but she herself
has already purchased a fine
muskrat in that very place.
And what a bargain! Dearie,
you never saw such a bargain.
She selected it from 125 samples,
and all it cost was 500. Imagine
that. Only 500! That's the price
of all the muskrats there; just
$50.
Whereupon Sally Banks,
thanking Lizzie King but stat
ing that she wants something
Just a little more expensive,
leaves her friend. She rushes
over Immediately to the address
Lizzie has given her. There she
meets Mr.. Schlingbaum, the
muskrat man-and that's where
we meet the real start of our
alleged story.
