New York, Nov. %, 1915.

The wealth of artistic and smart
ideas in afternoon and street frocks
this season, while fascinating, is
somewhat bewildering, too.
Of course the chief features are the
same, this is out of respect to Fash
ion's dictates, but there are any num-
Der of ways that one may vary these
details effectively to meet the de-
mands of ones own personality. Fash
ion shows are becoming as popular
with women in general as any smart
social event. The dainty mannequins
wear the clothes as if to "The Manor
Born" and perhaps bit more grace
fully.
Since the first showing of fall and
winter fashions there has been much
discussion as to whether the regula-
ton tailored suit with normal waist
line, snugly fitted, would dominate;
at first it seemed as if it would, but
since then there has been a decided
change toward the looser, belted mod
els, unbelted coats with half sugges-
ton of waistline, or stranger still, no
waist at all, return in short to the
box coat.
These box models are now very
smart indeed; they appear in tailor
made suits, separate coats and fur
coats. Most of the fur coats, in fact,
show the box back, even if the front
of the coat is belted.
The effect of these untitled coats
is bit more youthful than the fitted
lines, which demand beauty and
grace of figure. The French woman
appreciates the line that is most be-
coming to her figure, and in most in
stances this is the straight line.
Among the new frocks and suits
there are, too, boleros and Etons that
are really quite charming. These al
so are becoming to the average figure.
One seen at a recent fashion show
was of gold lace, combined with black
.charmeuse; it was on an afternoon
frock, and was simple to a degree but
unusually attractive. Another of dark
blue serge was made with square cut
yoke, back and front to which the low
er portion of the Elton was gathered,
forming a soft line across the bust
being drawn snugly in at the waist,
where it was stitched to a two-inch
belt of the serge. The skirt also
showed the yoke and was embroidered
with chain-stitch design worked out
in silver threads at the joining of
yoke and lower portion of the skirt.
The same embroidery was carried out
on the jacket, on collar, fronts and
belt.
One in talking of fashions must
speak again and again of fur-it is so

FORAGE POISONING KILLS

Minnesota's farmers, every fall and
winter, lose valuable horses from for
age poisoning; usually from eating
moldy fodder or grain, says DR.. H.
Preston Hoskins of the Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.
The illness, continues DIR. Hoskins,
is almost always fatal, but it is not
contagious, and when several horses
on farm are stricken at the same
time, the cause is usually the eating
of moldy ensilage, moldy corn-fodder,
oats or hay. For some reason cattle
do not seem to suffer by eating the
same mouldy feeds.
The Iowa Experiment Station re-
ports that from 80 to 80 per cent of
the cases, of which information is re-
seived, come from mouldy ensilage.
The black, blue and green moulds
commonly found on feeds are known
to cause the trouble. Cases have fire.
quently been traced to hay from low,
marshy lands
An affected animal will show loss
of appetite, depression, weakness and
unsteadiness of gait; and paralysis of
the hind quarters usually follows. In
ability to swallow is also Characters
tic, though this might be overlooked,
unless the animal is being watered
from a pail. SOLDERING is evidence
of the inability to swallow. An animal
will lie down, and in a day or two will
be unable to rise, while the breathing
will be slow and jerky. At intervals
he may attempt to rise and, in his
struggle will bruise and abraise the
skin, unless he is kept well bedded.
Medicinal treatment is rarely success
full. The trouble may be prevented
by carefully examining feed for the
presence of mould. Under no circum-
stances should mouldy feed be given
to horses or kept where they can get
at it themselves.

There is a wide choice in style of

a Oil Washed Away

The rain which fell in the field Sat
urday, Saturday night and Sunday, was
the heaviest donwnpour that has fallen
in this section since the weather bu-
reau was established here The field
was fairly flooded with water. Bayou
creek is reported to be two miles
wide and much of the low land is
flooded. Several wells that were on
the gauge, had to be disconnected.
Work in the field is practically at a
standstill. So much mud and water
stood in the field over Sunday that no
teams were out and the day was a
very quiet one. A large quantity of oil
which was in earthen storage, was
washed away. L. c. Hivick who came
in from the field yesterday, stated that
the rainfall was heavier in the field,
and the field was in a worse condition
than he had ever seen it before.

Well Over-es stimated

The Ardmoreite report of the gas
production in the Crystal well in the
north part of section 1913 was some
what exaggerated. The flow was re
duced to a small pipe and the esti
mate was made from the force with
which it was coming from the we'll
When the test was made it showed a
production of 100000 feet, with much
of the gas wasting, and the owners
are of the opinion that it was max
ing something like 100000 feet. The
sand was found at 1929 and the drill
at 1156 was still in the gas sand. The
well will be drilled deeper for oil. 1t
is regarded as freak well, as the
other wells in that neighborhood did
not have nearly so much gas.

lioht Runs Last Week.

Pipe line runs the past week have
been very light. The line was shut
down Monday and remained idle until
Friday when at II o'clock in the morn
ing the pumps were started. A tele-
phone message from the company's Of
fees in Dallas brought the informa-
tion that some new storage tanks had
been completed and they will be filled
now. The company states that if tank
building is not Interrupted that it will
be prepared to make regular runs from

all the Healdton oil, or approximately
all of it, is going into storage, and the
refinery is being operated on Cushing
