New Orleans, Dec.s 25.-Thirteen

four trade unionists at Bogalusa, on

to the murders the company locked
out 1000 organized workers in an at

The mob was lead by Loyalty

FASHIONS IN FURS
FOR WINTER
PeItry Of Every Conceivable VAR.
ETY. Is to Be Much in
Evidence.
STRIPE IS VERY DESIRABLE
BSrders and Bands Of Rich Color In
Contrasting Arrangements Are
Used-New Shades for
Fall

A poor excuse is better than none
and SO milady will comfort her con-
science as she digs deep in her peck
etbook and purchases one of the fur
wraps Of the new season with the fact
that cloth suit or coat would cost
In some cases almost as much. writes
a prominent fashion correspondent.
In truth furs are proportionately
about as expensive and the only rea-
son that there is anything within
reach is that every conceivable fur is
in fashion.
Paris has been astonishingly catho-
lie in this respect of late and under
the exigency of the times admitted to
the list IF possible furs such lesser
pelts as Mongolian goat, rabbit, coney,
The Dallas express. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1893-1970, 1919-12-27

supplied with separate elongated
flap like a cape, and the collar, very
strangely, is OF silver fox.
Stripes Are in Evidence.
Stripes, so very well liked in frocks
and suits, find reflection In the furs
In the arrangement Of the markings,
SO any fur that has by nature a dark
stripe is very desirable for the large
wraps that are so frequent.
For this purpose chinchilla and
mink are immensely popular and the
things that the designers do with the
pelts are extraordinary. Where the
coat or wrap is ordinarily trimmed
with collar or cuffs Of contrasting
fur, borders and bands Of the same
fur with the stripes Of rich color in
contrasting arrangement are used In
stead.
On a wrap of mink for evening or
afternoon wear the stripes run up and
down for the major portion, but a
wide band of the fur with the stripes
running in the opposite direction is
crosses the back at the bottom. The
collar on this wrap, which is typically
French, is very large and falls over
the shoulders and half way down the
arms bordered with a horizontal band
of mink, bringing the line straight
across the figure.
The Partisan with her short skirts
wears these all enveloping wraps ex-
ceedingly well. Exactly the length of
the skirt underneath, the wrap still
escapes being cumbersome, particular
ly as the cut is most apt to be straight
and the sleeves rudimentary. Either
Sits in a cape or very short sleeves in
the coats are seen.
Neither American makers nor buy
ers abroad favor the short sleeves in
furs, so the coates and coats on this
side are all offered with regulation
sleeves.
Large Collars and Cuffs.
Large collars and cuffs of the longer
haired pelts are feature of many fall
suits. Skunk, fox and pointed fox are
used and the collars are cut high, CIV
ing luxurious air to the suit. When
the use of bands and large pockets
is noted it is usually in close fur, as
seal, squirrel or beaver. A suit of
French blue velours is fashioned with
fiaring lines from the waist and a
vest and high rolling chin collar of
squirrel fur. The fur is arranged so
that the stripes run horizontally
across the front of the vest. The sim
pie tailored suit without a belt and
trimmed with large collar and cuffs of
fur Is sure to be one of the smartest
features of the fall openings.
Pervenche is one of the new shades
that have been captured for the fall.
1t is named for the little French
flower by that name, which we see
once In while in an old garden in
this country under the name Of myr
tie. 1t is shade of lavender which
just escapes coming under the head
of blue.
Many Browns and Tans.
Duvetyn is not considered as smart
as velvet for the fall or winter hat.
Also one will note when scanning the
collection in the best shops that there
are almost no dark blue hats, but
quantities of all shades of browns and
tans, while feathers are greatly in
the majority as trimming. Velvet
shirred and plated very closely and
very cleverly handled is sufficient to
distinguish some of the very high
priced models.
Two new sport hats of special inter-
est are masterpieces in handwork and

Manchurian dog and even ordinary
house rat. AS the scarcity of furs
continued through last winter old
furs were dragged out of the moth ball
closet and worn until there was not a
fur left that might not be seen on the
streets of Paris.
Fortunately this brought every fur
into play, for just imagine the prices
if only two or three furs had hap
pened to be in fashion, as in some sea-
sons past.
This is not to say that there are not
favorite furs this year, too, but be-
cause some of the less expensive furs
are in better standing than usual is
not an indication that sable, ermine or
any of the furs that are always high
in price are out of it. Indeed, it is not
so much question of the kind of fur
as the manner in which it is made up
and the color. Gray furs. squirrel and
chinchilla are shade more in demand
than those in other tones.
Tails as Decoration.
Again, 1t may be merely matter of
tails, and the wrap or fur piece that
can count the most tails is easily the
winner.
Probably the rage for tails is trace
able to the rage for fringe and any
and everything that bangles with
every motion of the wearer. Seldom
are the tails placed anywhere neaf the
spot nature inte1ded them to be.
Placed close enough together to form
a semblance of fringe is the approved
method, but as this is decidedly expen-
sive the close formation in short
spaces is sometimes seen.
The dclman, more in evidence here
than abroad, is very apt to show a
long fringe of tails that runs from the
wrist straight down under the arms
70 the bottom Of the hem, otherwise
Il may run down the sides and around
the back or around the bottom with
out any at the sleeves.
1t is seen used in two ways about
the bottom, either placed at the top
Of the hem falling on top of the fur or
about the lower edge and hanging
free. An ermine evening wrap by an
American house has a tail fringe all
above the KEN, tho little dark tails
placed very close and showing up well
against the white fur. The sleeves OF
his wrap are wide and fioppy, being

Two Oklahoma Oil Companies Merge;
 Capital 10 Million

Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 2O.-A big merger of oil interests, affecting two of the best known companies in Tul- sa, has been affected and the result is $10,O00,000 corporation, the mer- ger being that of the Texlahoma Oil corporation and the Globe Oil com pany of Tulsa.
 The merger of these companies will make one of the strongest com binations in the middle west. It will have a capital of $10,0O0,000 in pre- ferred stock and 350,000 shares of common stock of no par value. There is ample working capital by reason of the Texlahoma and Globe sale of Louisiana properties netting them $3,500,O00 and the properties owned by them in Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.
 It was decided that the new com- bination will take the name of Texla- homa Oil corporation, the Globe Oil company losing it's identity.

Oil Production
 In Mexico is On
 Stupendous Scale

Mexico, City Sept. 20.-A stupen- deus array of figures greets the ln- yestigator who attempts to ascer- tain how much oil has been conveyed from Mexico during the past few years and what the profits are to those who have ventured to sink fortunes in an effort to tap the petroleum deposits that are known to underlie certain portions of the republic.
 A statement recently furnished to The Associated Press by the Depart ment of Commerce and Industry graphically portrays the growth of this industry which now, as during the war when it's wells furnished much of the motive power that took troops and supplies to France and victory, occupies such prominent place in the relations between Mex leo and the United States.
 From 1901 to 1918, inclusive, the production of crude petroleum in the republic amounted to 285 5,91O,798 barrels, every year showing con- sistent gain over that previous. In 1901 only 10,345 barrels were pro- duced. In 1914 production reached 26,235, ,403 barrels; and in 1918 63,- S28, 1926 barrels.
 During the year of 1918 out of 63, 828,326 barrels of petroleum produced two companies (ElAgulla and Huasteca) produced 37,107,1 ,104, according to the statements figures.
 Export data indicates that Tam pico leads all ports, in 1918 more than 5,271 ,012 tons of petroleum having left that harbor. Approxi- mately half that amount left via Tuxpan.
 According to the statement there are 299 producing well in Mexico.

Oil Mems Dam to
 Impound Water
 Will Aid Farmers

Austin, Texas, Sept. 20-The oil companies doing development work in Stephens county are also devoting their attention to matter which, while of pressing importance to them directly, will also be of very consid- erable benefit to the county in other for impounding the flood waters, and eventually this will be available for the cowman and the farmer, and may, in the opinion of James Hays Quarles, secretary of the water board, lead to very important developments.
 The Gulf Production company has obtained three permits; one to con- struct a four-foot concrete dam on a natural rock dike in Sandy creek, five miles northwest of Breckenridge which will hold about 30,000,000 gal Ions.
 Another to construct a nine-foot concrete dam in Gonzales creek two and one-fourth miles southwest of Breckenridge, to have a reservoir ca pacity of 1O,5OO,OOO gallons.
 The third project is an earthen dam, 37 feet in height across Cotton wood creek, twenty miles southeast of Breckenridge, the reservoir capacity being 42,OOO,OO0 gallons.
 The Sinclair Gulf Company will build a concrete dam ten feet high across Caddo creek, fifteen miles southeast of Breckenridge, having a reservoir of 2,600,000 gallons capacity. A second project is a four foot con- crete dam some distance above the one first mentioned to have capacity of 3,586,000 gallons.

Doherty Plans Sale
 Of Elk City Field

Elk City, Kan., Sept. 13.-Nego- tiations are now pending between the cities Service company, which is a Henry L. Doherty concern, and the Southwestern Gas company, for the City gas field, the greatest in point purchase by the former of the Elk of production in the world.
 The Elk City field is bringing in a huge new gasser about every week and now has forty producing wells. with total production of 1,3O0,00O,- 900 cubic feet of gas daily.
 The Cities Service company owns the Kansas Natural and the Wichita Natural Gas companies, which supply natural gas to Kansas and Missouri towns. Should the deal be completed there would be no danger of the threatened gas shortage for years, experts declare. The Southwestern company is handicapped with small pipeline facilities, but the Kansas and the Wichita have plenty of lines to carry even that huge amount.
