on Production
Is Now Declining

OF production in the Appalachian
teg1pn or eastern United States. is de-
clinins. The production for 1911. was
approximately 100000 barrels short of
the 1910 production according to figures
Of David T. Day. of the Geological
Survey.
The most sensational development of
the year in the Appalachian region was
the discovery Of oil by F. B. Ranger
and the Surpass Oil and Gas Company
on the Maria Smith and Peter Murphy
farms near Carlyle, III. This district
had been pointed out by the State geo.
logic survey of Illinois, as promising
for an oil field. Great excitement at
tended the discovery, and unreasonable
prices were paid for leases several miles
away from the producing wells.
Mr.. Day estimates that at least
S6, 900 900 barrels of oil were produced In
the Kansas-Oklahoma oil field in 1911.
in Usage county, wells Of LOCO to 1900
barrels daily were brought In with suf-
ficient frequency to keep the daily
yield Of the field up to 10000 barrels.

Julia Murdock Says Elsie Janis Wears
Whatever Suits Her Fancy on Stage

Elsie Janis wears what she feels
like wearing upon the stage when the
impulse comes. Some actresses make
use of the same gowns throughout
the entire season, or at least until
they lose their freshness, but Elsie
Janis. whose dressing room Is huns
with more than a score Of dainty con-
fections, chooses at each appearance,
what seems best to express her mood
Earlier during the present season
the writer saw Miss Janis In the role
Of "The Slim Princess" in another
city, and the gowns this charming 3
young actress wore on the stage at
that time were entirely different as
to color and material from those in
which she has appeared this week In
the National Theater.
Elsie Janis always wears pretty
clothes. and while her gowns in her
present role are suitable for a slender
figure the woman who has inclina-
tions toward plumpness may learn
much about long lines and poster-ltke
silhouettes from q close study of
them.
One of her most charming little
frocks was of soft white supple satin,
with an ,overdress of black chiffon,
coming over the hips in slight pan
nier effect 1t was cut square In
front, and pointed in the back. whic
seems to be a favorite style with Miss
Janis. The tunic was bordered with
silver, and the skirt had q wide sill
yer band about the foot. and a panel
of deep pleats down the front As
hers is an Oriental play. she wore
beneath this white satin bloomers.
Butt these bloomers are no longer
strictly Oriental. They are the rage

embroidered roses at the meeting of
