PRICES GO UP WITH SKIRTS
NEXT YEAR.

The Style Committee of the Ma
tiona1 Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manu-
facturers' Association recommended
skirts from three to four inches
shorter than at present for the 1920
season in its report at the closing
session Of the annual convention in
Cleveland, Ohio.
The committee decreed that skirts
next season will be from seven to
nine inches from the floor for wo-
men and about ten inches for misses
as compared with four to six inches
for women and six to eight inches
for misses at present.
Skirts, the style makers say, will
be frankly short" but without alb
breviation. One thing to be avoided
if one wishes to be stylish, is the
extreme. Tunic and plated skirts
will be worn.
Fullness at the hips will be a fea-
ture Of many of the smart spring
suits.
Sleeves will fit snug and close to
the tailored suits. The three-quar-
ter length sleeve will be favored on
the etons and short, jaunty models
Sport suits for spring and summer
wear are recommended. Novel belts
of leather and metal, and a new
type Of collar-long, slender and roll
ing-will be a detail of the suits.
The Lord Byron and Peter Pan de-
signs will be popular.
The newest wrap FOR women is
not unlike the old Roman toga, a
grecful, enveloping garment that can
be tucked up and pulled together.
Prices Of coats, suits and skirts
will stay up" said Michael Printz,
of Cleveland, Chairman Of the Style
Committee.

TEN CENT OIL INVESTMENT
BRINGS $25;

One dime invested in oil has
brought an Oklahoma man $4,000.
The joy of watching an investment
of ten cents climb to $4,000 seldom
comes to many persons. The lucky
man is Edward Gait, of Ardmore.
When Edward Gait was blocking
acreage for the discovery well at
Healdton he approached Chas. Won
Weise, who held lease on the Wal
ton Davis farm, in section 6, 4s-3w
Won Weise had leased the farm from
H. w. McGill and paid Is cents an
acre, which was a fair price at that
time. Gait asked for the acreage in
exchange for the drilling of the
we'll. Won Weise agreed to give him
the acreage which called for a IL
per cent. royalty, provided Gait
would allow him to retain a royalty
of 21s per cent. This was agreed to
and Gait returned to Won Wiese the
rental fee of Is cents an acre ariG
started to refund rs cents, which
had been paid for notary fees ant
had only. Is cents in his pocket
which left Won Weise 10 cents shor
and which constituted his only in
vestment in the property.
More fortunes are being made il
the Burk-Burnett field than tn
Alaskan gold fields ever yielded il
the greatest rushes. There are NOR
persons in Wichita Falls now thar
the gold rushes in the Klondyke AM
other big strikes in the froZel
North. This is the opinion of Capt
w. T. Jones, globe trotter and ex
plorer, who is in Texas in the inter
est of Philadelphia capitalists.
