streams from the refuse of oil tanks
and refineries is to be conducted by
G. A. Smith, state game warden. Smith
is considering calling a meeting at
Tulsa soon of oil operators to discuss
measures that may be taken against

The citizens of Shawnee proved
their faith in the value of good public
schools by voting an extra levy of
8% mills for school purposes. This
will raise about 888,000 extra over
the regular levy of 6 mills. This in-
sures an increase of 26 per cent in
teachers’ salaries. The levy carried
by 85 per cent of the votes cast.
Funeral services of Patrick J.

A war on Choctaw beer has been
started by the state food administra-
tion on account of the large amount
of sugar and grain used in the manu-
facture of the illegal beverage. An
estimate furnished the food admin-
istration by a secret aervice officer
on the east side of the state revealed
that 1,700,000 opunda of sugar was
used in the manufacture of “Choc”
beer in that section last year. By
putting a ban on the aale ef malt and
restricting the sale of sugar the food
administration hopes to accomplish
what tho enforcers of the liquor laws
have failed to do.

New York.—The millions who are
employed In the making of women’s ap-
parel In this country are disturbed by
; an Important discussion that Is going
on among themselves.
It has to do with the Importation of
French clothes, with the prices asked
for nil kinds of apparel, with the
threatened abolition of the famous
French semiannual exhibitions, and
with the tendency of the public to
ask for Americnn clothes.
No woman should be Ignorant of this
situation, nsserts a proidfaent fashion
writer. On her shoulders, ns an Indi-
vidual, which is part of a mass, restF
much of the responsibility of the fu-
ture. In France women are the de-
cisive factors in fashion; in this coun-
try they have not assumed that role,
With the exception of n few, they are
willing to be led. They are guided by
those In authority, and those In au-
thority are guided by Paris.
This Is not true to the extent that
the reformers and the critics preach.
No one Is any the worse for It. Our
country has not been In a position to
assume the leadership in fashions, any
more than In art, architecture or Uter-
nture. We have had to be led In all

these things; yet the very man who
goes to PariB and Italy for art Is the
first one to ask his wife why she Is
foolish enough to adopt the French
fashions i
If, therefore, the American women
were not free thinkers regarding
clothes, and were merely led Into each
fashion b> a comfortable oooee that
was pulled along by the merchants
and dressmakers, It was because they
placidly felt that this was the best
path In which they should tread.
Since the war, however, there has
been a growing feeling here of Indepen-
dence of Paris. All of us who firmly
believed that no country could get
along without the deciding vote of
France as to what should be done In
clothes, realized, during the first years
of the war, that our opinion was cor-
rect.
Changes of Importance.
But the situation has changed, and
our beliefs have changed with it. As
far as one can see, there Is no chanco
of our losing the comfort of getting
from Paris our inspiration as to the
silhouette, and we shall also get from
that country of consummate art in ap-
parel, the various movements of cloth,
the details of ornamentation, and the
production of new tissues, which stim-
ulate and enliven our work. But—and
I say that with full conviction, after
talking with people In power and with
dressmakers, designers and merchants
who have had their hand on the pulse
of things for three years—a decided
change Is coming over our method of
launching fashions.
The reasons are important, not only
to the merchant, but to each woman.
She is a thinking Individual these days,
if she never was before, and she will
decide what Is best to be done and
will either coincide with the new meth
od of work or go against it. There-
fore, she ought to be informed of the
conditions.
The American buyers were not en-
thusiastic, It Is true, over the purchas-
ing of hundreds of French gowns, nl
though they spent nn immense amount
of money out of pure good will and tak-
ing n gamble. The prices were beyond
all limitations set for clothes. France
said she was compelled to ask such
prices, and the American buyers
thought they were compelled to give
them; but they assert themselves as
determined never to do It again.
Two hundred and fifty dollars was
a simple price for any gown. Two
hundred dollars was asked for a mus-
lin without lace or embroidery. Callot
asked from five to six hundred dollars
apiece for her evening frocks. Now
add to that the 60 per cent duty which
every merchant must pay to our cus-
toms. There were some gowns that
cost a thousand dollars to land. What
would be the return on quch clothes?
No American woman would buy them.
America’s Narrow 8klrt.
It may be remembered that last sea-
son America invented the skirt with
the slight bustle and the bias folds g»
ing upward from the knee to the back.
It is claimed that a French designer
sent to this country for twelve of these
sketches, and adopted the bustle in def-
erence to American wishes. Good evi-
dence for the truth of this statement
is shown In the bustle which a certain
French house has sent to this country.
Another piece of alteration that Is
given away by good dressmakers Is
adding to a frock a narrow plain under-
skirt and cutting the gown itself 10 to
12 Inches shorter, and letting it fall as
a tunic with a girdle over the new ad-
dition. This eliminates the flares in
the chemise robe of yesterday and
gives one the proper silhouette.
As long as it is fashionable to wear
two or three materials in combination
one is not called upon to match the
one-time chemise gown in cloth or
color when adding a separate under-
skirt over which to drop it. Black
satin goes with blue serge, beige cloth
or brown gaberdine. It also goes with
plaids and checks; and on the other
hand Scotch designs In woolen and
other fabrics are used for skirts.
Tunics of plain material are combined
with these skirts by the best dress-
makers, and therefore the amateur
sewing woman need not be timid ti)
making the same combination.

Paris 8hops Are Showing Many 8mall
Models That Are Attractive for
Spring Headgear.
In the Paris shops are shown many
satin hats, extremely small models that
are excellent for spring wear, writes a
correspondent They have satin trim-
ming, if they have any—for tho lines
of the hats are what make them smart
Two exceptionally pretty chapeaux
were seen recently. One was of black
mllan straw with a satin brim In mili-
tary bine; the only embellishment was
supplied by grosgraln ribbon and black
ostrich. The ribbon bow was made In
tiny loops and ends, and was placed at
the back of the hat a Uttle to the side.
The ostrich was at the extreme left
edge of the brim, In front
The other model had a black llsere
brim and a very high black taffeta
crown. The crown band which ended
In a bow in the back—at the center of
the back—was of French bine ribbon.
i finished in front with a knot of French
flowers.
There are many quaint twists in the
brim of hats. The designers seem to
feel that the more peculiar the brim
the smarter the hat Ribbon is used
extensively and oh, so many flowers.
We have rose toques, violet toques an(
many other kinds, and this revival of
French flower hats has helped to revive
onr flower Industry and for this we are
dully grateful.
When the Hair Is Dry.

It Is usually much healthier and thicker
than dry, harsh hair. If your glory

Immediate reform. Twenty-four hours
before the shampoo rub pure oUve oil
