Mc.Lean, several days before Christmas,made up the balances needed at thattime by subscribing A7.000 to closethe 1919 list.One reason for the large balances
still required in some of this year'sopportunities Is the fact that thebudgets of the fourteen families were
larger by $2.000 than in 1919. Thismeans that the resources within thefamilies are smaller and that thecosts for rent, fuel, and clothing hadnot decreased, but rather increased,while food is still nearly twice ashigh as in prewar-times.
It is hoped that tomorrow morning'smail at the Social Service House. 923 Hstr%et northwest will bring in sub-Ltantial sums from belated contribu-tions, and that by the New Year sev-eral more of the opportunities willbe closed.

Oklahoma, which has never takenrofficial part in an inauguration, willplay a large part in the ceremoniesattendant upoq the inauguration ofPresident-elect Warren G. Harding,according to a statement today byEugene Lorton, of Tulsa, Okla.
TENDKR, His afrVICIPs.Lorton. who is proprietor of the
Tulsa Worl.l, which was largely re-r sponsiblo for changing a 60-000 Demu-(cratir majority in Oklahoma to a
30,000 Republican majority in the lastr campaign, called on Chairman M3Lean yesterday and offered the ser -
ices of his State in any way necessrtyto help make the inauguration a rue-cess.
"tklahom:L. IAs not many rancicsleft," said 1,orton today, "but we creprepared to furnish Pomp real cow-boyz, and some real Indians for ths,4inaugural parade. Tulsa oil men andothers from the State will also 1
largely in evidence at the inaugura-tion."The Mardi Gran plan proposed by
the inauguration committee is a sple.a-did idea, and I venturp to say thatrOklahoma will have one of the bestexhibits at the Mardi Gras in its etion, and that Tulsa will have a .1s-play that will challenge comparisp,n4ith any at the carnival."
Oil MN TO IiWLP.l.orton leaves tomorrow for a ten
days' stay in his home State, duringwhich he will discuss with, State lead-.ers plans for Oklahoma's a.rticiwa-tion in the March 4 cereinonies.Tulsa is known as the richest city
of its size In the world, and the oilmagnates are expected to make an im-pressive display.At a recent State event the Tulsa
oil men were asked to please carrytheir "rolls" in their coat pockets, asthe size of said rolls, carried on !hehip, made them look an if their hipswere dislocated.
