Everything Muriel Gamble had ever done

celebrated by giving every employee of the
vast Gamble Company free dental attention;
her first party, from which a very nice little

it was spring. Lots of people, matter OF
- fact, were thinking about marriages which
were none of their personal business. And
Denny Potter was one of these. For week,
he had been all excited about the marriage of
Muriel Gamble. He hadn't slept at night for
worrying about it; he had gulped down his
breakfasts and forgotten his lunches; and all
because Muriel Gamble was marrying.

his orders but he wasn't so sure about them.
Poppas word was law to a thousand employees
of the Gamble Kitchens - those romantic

was law. but in the newspaper world Poppa's
word was like anybody else's word - the stuff
news is made of.
Very humbly. Poppa himself, trusting no
emissary, had driven around to the newspaper
offices. Grimm Gamble had bought every at

wanted neglect, large clouds of neglect, to cover
Muriel's newest whim. Not knowing the pride
of newspaper, he had offered to pay for being

a k e Opening Tourney Game from Skagway, 27-
 25, in Story Book Finish

Juneau Highs Crimson Bears are in their den today, worrying about that second game tonight against the visiting Skagway High basket ball team. Last night the local five beat the visitors 27 to 25, in as thrilling a finish as they've had in many year, and tonight's battle may be even better
 It's the championship fight be- tween the two schools for the north ern half title And from the way in which the Lynn Canal boys over came their stage fright and settled down, it's going to be a great tour nament.
 Last night the Bears opened the game with a brilliant passing and scoring attack, and the huge crowd leaned back to watch a runaway. The Skagway lads opened awk- wardly, and cautiously. unfamiliar with the floor and the officiating On field goals by big Ken Web ster, Dalter Scott, and Tom Hall, the locals were well out in front at the half, IT to 10.
 Last Quarter Best
 Coach Ruble's men, larger and stronger than previous Skagway squads, wore off the nervousness of the early quarters in the last half, and on clever basket sniping by Oscar Selmer and Arnold Hestness, guards, brought the score up, notch by notch.
 The crowd was hanging on the ropes in the last frame, when the deadly eyes of Hestness and Selmer continued to find the range The losers overlook the visitors, with one minute to go, 25 to 25 Sturrock, burly Bear guard, found the basket from the middle of the floor, put ting story-book finish to the va liant efforts of the visitors. Final score, Juneau 27, Skagway 25.
 For the winners, all players turn ed in sparkling performances, and by their clever early period play ing, richly deserved the game. The losers were paced by Hestness and Selmer, the latter being one of a long line of Skagway athletes. The second game tonight should indi- cate just how accustomed the vis- itors are to the local gym, after 'ast nights tilt, and a few practice sessions.

NEW YORK. March l6.-Buying in

First Call of Present Year.

Controller O'Connor's call today was
the first one of the present year. 1t
asked for the condition of all banks
in Washington and Of all national
banks in the United States at the
close of business on Wednesday,
March 4.
The controller is required by the
national banking act to issue at least
three such calls year. The practice
Of the present controller has been to
issue four calls yearly-two OF which
have been dated as of the end Of the
financial year and the calendar year.
1t has been known for weeks that
bank deposits in this city were climb
ing steadily higher and higher. but
the amount of the gain over the De-
cember call will cause general sur
prise.
Riggs National Bank reported over
S94,000,000 in deposits, the highest
figure the bank has ever reported on
any call. Several other banks also
reported the highest, or close to the
highest figures, they have ever had.
Two main reasons were given today
as the cause for the new all-time high
mark in deposits. One was the very
large amount of money which still
awaits opportunities for investment.
although the sum is said to be steadily
growing smaller and smaller.
The other reason given by bankers
Is the money which has recently been
brought out of hiding. Both bankers
and internal revenue experts who
have been working in the banks for
the past two weeks state that large
amount of money has recently been
withdrawn from safe deposit boxes and
placed on bank accounts. Rapidly
growing confidence is assigned as the
chief cause for this move.
Business in the Capital has ad-
Vanced materially since the last call,
while the huge Government pay roll
has remained at high figure. 1t is
Z also said that savings accounts are
being steadily enlarged.
English Joins d. c. Exchange.
Merton A. English, who is associated
with George M. Ferris & Co., in the
Washington Building, was elected
member Of the Washington Stock Ex-
change today. Mr.. English has been
engaged in the investment business
here for some time. He is the second
new member admitted to the ex-
change during the present year.

at 1857.
The March meeting of the Women's
Insurance Club of Washington will
be held this evening, with Miss Mabel
T. Royce presiding. Several timely
topics are on the program for dis
cussion.
Today's bank call proved a surprise
to many of the banks. The call came
before the blanks had been received
by several of the banks here, some
thing that very rarely happens.
