large the Associated Charities reports.hat the funds received this year arethe largest in the eleven years' his-tetry of the opportunity appeal, ex-cept last year, when Edward B. 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.

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
