PENNSYLVANIA FIRM LEASES THE

kingsville and kleberg county are in the

states that Guifey x Gillespie, a Pittsburg

Speaking of the oil situation in that dis
trict, Mr.. bennett sand today:
"Guifey & Gillespie Of Pittsburg have
contracted with Mr.. III. VI. King To drill
not fewer than three wells in the kingsville
section. and it j. said this will require the
expenditure of about $4,000. They have
located their first well about five miles
east of kingsville, near the Gallo del

"Previous To the drilling operations this

Charles III. Flato, Jr., vice-president of

INTER-SCHOOL

ATHLETIC STRUGGLES BETWEEN IN
STITUTI0NS FAST DYING AN
INSTRUCTOR SAYS.

Austin, Texas, March l7.-"Intercol-
! leglafe sport II cutting off It's own head
1 and is being superseded by intramural
FORMS" says DIR. ID. c. Hall, director OF
| physical training at the University of
Washington. DR.. Hall has tried since 1905
o build up interclass activities, and now
at last he feels that everyone must see the
handwriting on the wall-sign of the com
ing death of athletic struggles between in
btitutions, where only a chosen few com-
sete.
DR.. Hall thinks this old form of rivalry
SHOULD pass. at should, he says, be
classed with vaudeville, for "only a few
men, specialized in their particular work,
perform for the amusement OF the masses
nder the guise of athletics.
Commenting upon the above statement.
Theo Bellmon. athletic director OF the
University of Texas, says:
"Every now and then opposition develops
Igainst the promotion Of the so-"alled m

lcational institutions of the country. DIR.

that athletic struggles between institutions

FIND CHILDREN A PROBLEM
Education of Youngsters of the Mo-
hammedan Moros Engaging Earn
est Attention of Americans.

The industrial training of the chill
dren of the Mohammedan Moros IN
the Philippines is a matter of vital i'm.
portance as regards their prospects for
the future. The ignorance of the peo-
pie is SO dense, their customs SO
uncouth and their ideas of life so untu.
tored that a child has but a poor
chance at best. Up to the present the
government has done little to educate
the Moro, but what has been accom-
plished among the savage mountain
tribes elsewhere in the Philippines en-
courages the belief that equal effort
will meet with equal success among
the Moros. Bishop Brent writes: "A
wave Of hpoelessness sweeps over one
when confronted by a mass of Moro or
pagan adults. But it is not so with
their children. They are as impress
sionable, as appealing, as lovable as
any children of any color in the whole
world. You can see the latent intelli-
genec in their eyes; the skill resident
in their slender, sensitive fingers; the
power in their comedy, half-clad or
wholly naked bodies. Only oppor-
tunity is lacking, and that we must
supply or be guilty in the sight OF
heaven"

hall and the two large rooms may or
may not be closed, or partly closed
with draperies, according to the
wishes of the housekeeper or the gen.
eral style of furnishing the house.
By this arrangement of rooms it is
possible to place the big chimney be-
tween the dining room so that the one
chimney can be used for the dining
room fireplace and the kitchen
range. A third fue in the same Chin
ney is built for the furnace in the base
ment.
Besides the living room, dining
room and kitchen, this floor contains
two bedrooms and a bathroom and a
very pleasant sun parlor.
At the end of the house is side

old-fashioned New England stocp,

possible to turn the sun parlor into an

clan without in any way interfering
with the main part of the house.

bedrooms and bathroom upstairs make
guest rooms, or, in case of necessity
they are rightly arranged for renting
purposes.
AS the average American family
consists of but four members this plan
will be appreciated by thrifty persons
who are skimping to pay for their
home.
The manner in which the stairway
is built is worthy of special considera-
ton. A space of four and half feet
in width by thirteen and a half feet in
length is sufficient to contain both the
cellar stair and the stairway to the
second floor.
The same principle of economy of
space applies to the arrangement Of
both the lower and upper Railways.
In fact, it would be difficult to point
to any waste floor space on either
floor except where the low roof inter-
feres on the upper floor.
The kitchen in this interesting bun
galow will meet with special favor
from all good housekeepers. The
kitchen proper is only nine feet by

the water demi-evening toilets are the
only thing demanded. But these demi-
evening dresses are real works of art,
writes Idalia de Villiers, Paris CORE
spondent of the Boston Globe.
They are, in fact, very much the
same Style Of dress that the lovely
women OF past centuries wore at great
dinner parties and even balls. 1t is
only of late years, comparatively, that
decOllete gowns, with no sleeves, have
been worn at dinner parties.
Our grandmothers would have said
that such gowns we're only suitable
for court balls. We have had great
many sartorial changes in the last fifty
years. Nowadays decollete gowns are
worn even at ordinary theaters. The
picturesque gowns shown in Matters

dressmakers.
These gowns nearly always show a

have sets of narrow, gathered flounces
at the hem of the full skirt. These
founces are hended by set rosettes
made of silver ribbon, or by little gar
lands of chiffon or satin roses.
On some of DGucet's new models
have seen borders of fine feather trim
ming. This is a revival of an old and
very popular fashion. The feathers
are only slightly curled and the trim
ming is about three inches wide. One
model which specially pleased me was
made of pale shell-pink crepe de chine
and the >ovefdress, in fourreau form,
was bordered with pearl gray feather
trimming.
There were pearl gray silk embroid-
cries on the border of the overdress
and also on the corsage and at the
hem of the skirt there was deep
fringe of gray crystal beads. Another
model of the same order was made of
fame-red Grape, with q border of fine
black feathers and delicate embroid-
cries in jet and dull gold on the front
of the skirt.
