opened the session of Federal court
for the eastern district of Oklahoma
this morning and promptly adjourned
it until Nov. 10. Judge Woodruff of
Lincoln, Neb., was scheduled to pre-
side at this term of court, but when
it was decided a few days ago to
postpone he session until Nov. 19,
he did not make the trip to Chicka-
sha. In his absence, G. w. Barefoot,
custodian Of the federal building,
took the bench while the legal open
ing and adjourning Of the court was
in progress. 1t is thought probable
at this time tina Judge Ralph Camp

from stratton D. Brooks state mana

stating that the time had been ex-

the fabrics that will clothe the woman

Style Keynote.
1.-THE style keynote of the most pop
ular spring coats will be fullness-
which means comfort-as has been
the case for the last two or three
seasons. While there will be novel
arrangements as to collars and sleeves
and a variance from last seasons use
OF belts and pockets. il is difficult to
point out in detail just what these
changes will be, especially so since
the designers are still struggling to
produce the motorists trinity in gar
ments-style, comfort, and utility.
This much can be said OF the popular
lengths, however--they will not differ
greatly from those of the coats de-
signed for street year"
Raccoon Coats.
The feature of the mems end Of the
automobile apparel business is said by
all odds to be the great demand that
has developed for raccoon coats, in
spite of the sharp increase in price
that has come about, thing that had
been thought would hamper their
sale. AS a result OF this demand there
is a marked scarcity of raccoon coats,
not only In the shops. but in the
hands Of the manufacturers as we'll
A further result is that coats OF this
kind, which two years ago could be
had for SIS to S6s, now cost $9s and
upward. A really good one would re-
tail in the neighborhood OF $3.50.
In the cheaper goods some OF the
big shops are offering long khaki
coats that are lined with sheepskin
from shoulder to waist and set off by
wombat or raccoon collars One OF
the little features OF these coats is Che
knitted wristlet that is set in the bot
tom Of the sleeve to keep the wrist
and lower arm warm. Not only are
these coats used by certain class OF
chauffeurs to q considerable extent,
but they have taken well with per
sons who want something warm for
outdoor sports wear, where great &C
tivity is not required, at reasonable
price.
To their sorrow, some Of the buyers
for the leading apparel shops are ind
ing that colored liveries for chauf-
feurs are more or less rapidly becom-
ing things of the past Plain fur coats
are replacing the dark colored outer
garments that used to be trimmed
with fancy frogs and things. The
chauffeur suits are for the most part
made OF Oxford gray whipcord or
serge, both of which are materials
that stand the wear when chauffeur
has to tinker with the internal me
chanism Of car or wrestle with a
refractory tire. The old idea that a \
paid driver Of car must be adorned

BARNEY OLDFIELD
WANTS MORE SPEED
Daredevil of Autodom Thinks
Three Miles a Minute is
Possible.
BUILDING A SPECIAL CAR

The versatile Barney Oldheld has
broken out again. This time with the
most sensational prediction Of his SEN
sational career. Barney is going to
cut into the long talked Of three-miles-
a-minute class, to be made possible
only by the use OF a newly designed
body, fitted to chassis equipped
with huge twin-sm motor being

Designers Of Women's Wear
Have Delved Into Forests
to Secure Shades.
COMFORT GIVEN THOUGHT

Fashion has annexed a new king
dom since motoring became so wide
spread 1t is a kingdom bounded by
the question, What is the proper
apparel to wear in the automobile?
But it is a limited monarchy, for
fashions dictates may not be founded
on mere caprice. Comfort must be
considered in the DEGREES, and this is
especially true of winter styles,
This season, taking up motor styles
for women first, coats OF natural rae
coon, beaver and wombat have taken
unusually well this year, not only for
the warmth and protection they at
ford, but because OF the fine lines on
which they are cut, Among the best
sellers OF all, however, have been
coats made of The fur Of the little
animal called nutria. To the good
qualities of the other furs, this one
brings the added virtue of warmth
without weight. And the cost of nu-
tria coats though not small, is less
than that OF some Of the others.
The best-styled motor coats OF fur
are noted at once. by the comfortable
fullness OF their cut They hang free
from the shoulder i'll graceful lines;
that are often broken at the waist by
being gathered in with a belt either
full or half. Some of the half-belt
arrangements are decidedly novel, be-
ing so made that the belt can be worn
either in the front or back, as suits
the vagaries of the wearer. Nearly
all OF the best coats have pockets,
some of which are edged with a con-
trasting fur or decorated with single
large fur button.
Long Coats.
To insure full protection, long coats
have been designed and have found
favor with the public. While these
lengths vary with the heights and
tastes OF the purchasers, leading re-
tail shops report forty-hve and hfty-
inch coats have sold freely so far, and
that there is every reason to look for
a continuance Of their sale until the
season closes.
Another point that is mentioned
favorably is the way the designers
have treated the collars OF the coats
meant for use in car. Most of them
are cut deep and full. which allows
them not only to be worn fiat when
desired, but permits them to be turned
up high in the back to protect the
neck and ears. A number Of novel
fastenings have been evolved, not the
least attractive OF which is a short
cross-over or surplice effect.
Novel Colors.
Designers OF women's wear have
gone far aheld in their search for
novel colors with which to enhance
the charms of the feminine motorist
this SPRING said a dealer. From
the restless sea they have taken its
green; they have invaded /the wine
marts and brought forth chartreuse.
In the mountains they have brought
