fire THIS MORNING
Flames Broke Out in Billion Real Es-
tate Office, Consuming Several
Buildings-$8,5OO Insurance

Fire, supposed to be of incendiary
origin, broke out this morning in the
real estate office Of J.. H. Billion and
before the progress of the flames could
be checked nearly an entire block
on one of the principal streets Of the
city had been consumed. The city has
excellent fre-fghting apparatus, be-
ing supplied with an immense cistern
and gas engine for pumping purposes.
The firemen worked valiantly but a
strong wind from the northwest fan
ned the flames and had it not been for
the excavation for the new First Ma
tional bank building it is believed the
whole town"would have gone up in
smoke. The loss on the johnson block
will exceed $4,000, with no insurance.
Kelley Brothers pool hall, loss $4,000,
with no insurance. The loss on the J.
H. Billion building is $400 and no in
surance was carried. The loss on the
contents of this building is given in
excess of $40O. The Dave Larin build
ing which was consumed was valued
at $1,80O, insured for $1,000. J. F.
Colonial, who occupied the Larin build
ing with his pool hall, places his loss
at $500 and no insurance. Emil Poppi,
who had complete set of carpenter s
tools stored in the basement of this
building, estimates his loss at fully
$1O0. Plate glass windows in the
stores of George Kruger and the Sweet
Hardware on the opposite side of the
street were broken, entailing loss of
several hundred dollars. These losses
however, were fully covered by plate
glass insurance. The total losses ag-
gregate fully fifteen thousand dollars,
with but $500 insurance.

Little Miss Rhett Milljgan

A SO PER CENT BABY
Not Only Beautiful But Ac-

Idol OF Parents.
(By W. X. CUMBERSOME

These are pictures of little Rhett
Nlillgan of 91S South Main street. Mr..
and Mrs. j. A. Millgan, the proud par
ents of this little miss, have recently
been made "A tempting offer from one
of the largest film companies. TO
place this little girl in the movies"
"Rhett,' as she is affectionatc)y
called by those who know her, is a
natural-born performer. Her beauty
is little short of marvellous. Both, her
oral and facial expression have been
pronounced little short of phcnome-
nal for a child of her age. She has
been pronounced by experts, a SO per

years and eight months of age.

'Rhett" was born in Louisiana but
has spent the greater part Of her
young life in Oklahoma. Her parents
moved to Tulsa about a year ago,
from FL Reno. Little Rhett insists
that she was born in FL Reno. and
while she has not visited there since
coming TO Tulsa, she talks of her
friends there. as though she had seen
them but yesterday.
'Rhett' is a movie fiend. and one
of the most startling things she pulls
foff is impersonating the different
movie characters. and especially Char
ley Chaplin. She sings many of the
latest songs and dances the latest
steps.
The most important of all and the

Some Interesting Figures on the
Future Worlds Supply of Petroleum
New Methods VIII Prevent Exhaustion and Proong the Life of
the American Oil Fields for Many Many Years Come

Each day for a week there has
been an advance in the quotations for
'crude oil in some of the fields, com
mencing with Kansas oklahoma on
saturday, continuing with the north
Texas fields on Monday; Kansas again
on Tuesday; Caddo and north Texas
on Wednesday: central west oils on
Thursday. and the Pennsylvania ad-
vance on Friday. These advances
amount to from > to 10 cents "a bar
rel. The PENNSYLVANIA advance an
nounced by the Joseph Seep Pur-
chasing Agency on Friday was 10
cents for all grades except Ragland,
which moved up > cents. The new
quotations are as follows: Pennsyl-
vania $3.50; Cabell s2.l2: Mercer
black. Corning and New Castle $2.10;
Somerset s1.95, and Ragland 90 cents.
This is the highest quotation for
Pennsylvania crude since April Il,
1895.
Expect Higher Prices.
Inquiries among the producers
show that a large majority of them
are anticipating still higher prices,
and very few are selling their credit
balances. The field situation is so
favorable, and the demand so large;
one indicating smaller production,
ana the other larger consumption,
that a feeling of optimism prevails
which has not existed for many years.
operators in the eastern fields are
probably more sanguine of higher
prices than those in the west. The
very small wells east of the Missis-
sippi and the expressed certainty that
no more large fields will be opened
IN this region cause the belief that
nigh prices have come TO stay. The
producers also had lesson from the
Gushing field, which has developed
stronger feeling of optimism. They
saw that enormous production de-
cline two-thirds in few months,
and they argue that such pools only
come once in several years. The fact
remains that more territory will be
tested i'll the next twelvemCrth il
present conditions continue than ever
before in so short period. and it is
to be expected that some new fields
Will be discovered. 1t would be un-
usual If they did not. These may
have no other effect than to check
the decline of the total. or they may
add something to the output. Also
the producers will give more attention
to their old wells, and thereby make
some gain in the production. This
was noticeable during the good mar
ket of 1913, when there was a small
increase in the total output of the old
fields of the east solely from the care
given to obtain more oil
In this Connection the estimates of
probable future production given out

the fathers face when he told the
writer of this article that his little

When seen at her home Mrs. Mil
ligan did not appear to be overelated
with the prospects OF her little girl
becoming a movie star, and would
maze little comment on the subject,
other than to say. YES. Rhett is a
sweet little girl. but what about this

well feel proud of little Miss Milli-

much credit is due the parents espe-

which cost under five dollars.
The Zenana robes of pastel colored
zenana cloth, lined with soft silk are
ideal morning negligees. Some Of
these robes are beautifully hand en-
broidered and trimmed with swans

twenty dollars. Much less expensive
and very dainty and attractive are
breakfast gowns of albatross, lined
with china silk in some delicate tint.
A charming model of blue albatross

little pointed coatee lined with blue
silk and embroidered in darker blue.

Lace Coats For The Morning.
Lace is particularly lovely on the
negligee and is lavishly used in com
bination with chiffon, Georgette crepe
and net this season. A favorite method
Of making the negligee just now Is
with a coquettish lace Jacket, or state
ly lace coat, or even draped lace man
tie, over a skirt OF great width with
trimming Of ruffies and roses, Under
such an airy negligee goes a simple
slip of thin silk or satin, or Of accor-
dion pleated chiffon. For a December
bride was built the enchanting lace
and tucked net negligee pictured. The
foundation Is flesh pink satin, sup
ported by pink ribbon straps over the
shoulders. To this foundation the full
petticoat Of tucked net Is attached un-
der wide pink satin girdle which
draws in the garment slightly 70 the
figure above tho waistline. Net sleeves,
edged with pink ribbon are attached
to the shoulder straps, and over all
goes the ooquettish Jacket Of pleated
lace with Its collar OF pleated flesh
pink satin.
