There is no means of knowing ac
Curately the possible extent of the
midcontinent field, but taking into
account all the available data, includ
ing the stratigraphy and structure OF
the rocks, and the known occurrence
of oil and gas under existing condi-
tions, il may safely be estimated that
at the present time, not to exceed
one fourth of the future available
territory in Oklahoma and Kansas has
yet been drilled. New fields are
constantly coming to light and the
limits of old ones are being extended
Many of the wells now in opera =
ton have been producing oil for fiji
teen years, and are by no means eX-
hausted. At the present rate Of de-
velopment, it will be many years be
fore the productive area OF the fields
has been demarked. 1t will be many
more years before it all will be drill
ed. There need be no surprise il
the midcontinent field is producing
both oil and gas one hundred years
from this date"

Fashion Leaders Say Novelty of Form Is Less Important Than Beauty of Materials
CBy Florence Fairbanks.)

NEW YORK, Sept 2O.-As usual, at the beginning Of the autumn sea son, the fashion authorities are kept busy making predictions for the i'm portant season to come. A great deal has been said and written upon the subject but, condensed in a nutshell there are only few points UpoE which the fashion authorities seem to agree. They generally concede, however, that costume. suit and wrap fashions for the coming season will be char acterized not so much by novelty of form as by novelty and beauty of ma- terials and colorings. The Oriental form is still maintained. but the East ern influence is lessening consider ably and Is already on the decline from a novelty standpoint Women of good taste are demanding hbefa- ton from too much uniformity in drass and there will he more indivtd uality than heretofore from the Paris dressmakers. Each big maker will stand for what is his or her conceP tion of the proper dress for the fash tonabIe women, but in spite of all var fstv there will be certain accord ance. Thus, while some makers snow long coats and others short Jeekets. the two seemingly opposite forms are brought into harmony through me fact that in the long coats there IS nearly always break at the waist line. brought about by a sirdle, lno cut of the vest or some other means;

VIRGINIA HAS
HEALTH CAMPAIGN

Hampton, Va, March 2l.-The
Race Organization Society of Vir-
girfia issues statewide call for
Cleanup Day" on April IA.
People of the race are asked to
give thorough cleaning inside
and outside, to their dwellings,
barns and outhouses; clean their
yards, whitewash or paint their
houses and fences; guard against
an impure water supply, and do ev-
erything they can to make their
houses and bodies thoroughly clean
and proof against disease.
The State Board of Health has
agreed to publish and distribute
free of charge a special bulletin
Health and Handbook for Colored
People"-which will be mailed to
leading teachers and ministers with
a personal request that the printed
instructions be carried into effect.
White people having servants
about them are asked to cooperate
in this health campaign.
Consumption, typhoid fever,
hook-worm and intestinal diseases
of children are destroying many
lives. This loss is needless. In
telligent, self.reliant, and self
sacrificing members of the race of
Virginia will cooperate with the
Organization Society to check the
present ravages of disease.
Cleanup Day" is the begin
ming of an organized movement
for fighting filth, disease and
death.
Preachers and teachers will
bring together the people of their
several communities not later than
the first week of April to create
interest in this practical health
campaign and arrange plans SO that
on April IA everything will be in
readiness for Cleanup Day." AT
the preliminary meetings the
state handbook will be discussed.

be called more sound and sure in
substance than the colored man.
The progress has become SO mark
ed as to win the recognition of all
sections. And its record is writ
ten nowhere more clearly than in
the returns of the United States
census. This is not in totals of
citizens, but of homes, property,
business interests, agricultural
holdings and manufactures in the
hands of people of this race.
1t has come about with certainty
so soon as the race was led to
give up the idea that alone through
political prominence could they rise
to position and weight. As DIR.
Washington puts it in his analysis
of the accomplishments of his peo.
pie since the end of the war:
They have been learning to
distinguish between the mere
shadow of civilization and the
progress and influential things
of civilization and progress.
In securing education, in
growth in the possession of
property, and the morsl and re-
ligious directions, as we'll as
in establishing rational rela-
tions between the two races,
the Negro people have made
genuine-I believe enduring
progress.
To Booker Washington belongs
the honor of having given the col.
ored race the inspiration of the idea
on which they have made this long
stride forward. He proved him.
self possessor of the unwearying
patience to teach it and the cour-
age to face the abuse and assault

LEAVES $2,0OO,00O.

Memphis, Tenn, March a.
Bringing the value of the estate of
Robert X. bob" Church, late cap
italist, up to approximately $1,000
600, investigation is said by con-
tending heirs to have revealed the
existence of many valuable possess
ions of which nothing was known
in Memphis until some time after
Cburch's death.
Considerable of this property is
said to be situated in other cities,
and includes several handsome res
licences in Washington, d. Z. A
complete inventory of the estate
probably will be introduced in
court when a contest of the will is
tried.
Action for contest was taken by
Mrs. Laura O. Napier, a daughter
of Mr.. Church under first marriage
and charging that the will probat-
ed in Memphis was procured
through undue means and when
the testator was mentally incapable
of executing will The contest
ant is the wife of Andrew j Nap

"IIM CROW"
MEASURES
MANY Bills introduced the Illinois Legislature The
Jack Incident is Said to be Blamed for the
Introduction of Such Bills,

Springfield, ILL.,, March 2O.-To
date seven bills have been intro
duced in the Illinois Legislature,
all of them antagonistic to the Ne
gro. They are known as the Shaw
Bill, the Campbell Bill, the Foster
Bill. the Poorman Bill. the Hollen-
beck Bill. the Karch Bill and Full
Grew Bill With the exception of
the latter, the sponsors for these
measures place the blame for their
action upon the Jack johnson Incl
dent.
The Campbell Bill seeks to es-
tablish the "Jim Grow" car on
the transportation lines in Illinois,
especially on the street cars of Chi
cago and the other large cities.
The Full Crew Bill will eliminate
the railroad porter, and is believed
to be the first step in the thorough
elimination of Negroes in railroad
service. The other five measures
aim at the prevention OF marriage
between Negroes and whites, thus
permitting illicit intercourse and
wholesale miscegenation.
1t is significant that these bills
have been introduced by Democrat
ic, Republican and Progressive
members of the Legislature. The
Full Crew Bill has been made a
party measure by the Progressive
party What is still more signifi-
cant is the attitude of the so-called
friends of the Negro. They are
not anxious to assert themselves
at Springfield. The opposition is
thoroughly active and gaining
force. The Negro having no men,
bership in the Legislature and no
leader in either of the two parties,
with whom is anxious to voice his
position, is in dangerous position.
The whole atmosphere at Spring
field is anti-Negro. Race pIeju-
dice is more rampant, more vulgar
and more arrogant in the State
Capital of Illinois than in the City
of Louisville, KY, and many other
of the metropolitan cities south of
Mason and Dixon's line. Unfor-
tunately, the colored people quiet
ly accept these conditions. - Your
correspondent is speaking as a
whole. There may be, and there
are many individuals who chafe
under the state of things, but up
to the present, there has been no
organized effort to protest against
this backward civic attitude.

streets and hears the ,'barkel" for
