Simplicity is the keynote of Fall fashions for mems suits. All traces of the novelty garments have been effaced by the designers who have replaced them with a vastly more graceful. practical vogue.

 more adapted to the well-dressed business man, providing more dig nified bearing conducive to true poise. The sporty suit has been suc- ceeded by one that is more refined and correct
 Quality Mark of Distinction
 Relaxing from their efforts to pro- duce the so-called smart" effects, designers have decreed that suits rely solely on their quality for distinc- ton. Discriminating dressers have always been aware that it is impos- sible to initiate the elegant simplicity of high grade clothes with cheaper substitutes, so perhaps it was their almost prohibitive price in the past few years that begot the vogue of extreme suits.
 The fact that the clothes purchas- ing power of a dollar has increased nearly 50 per cent is probably, like wise, accountable for its abolition.
 Suits for Fall Graceful
 Suits are built along the natural lines of the figure. rendering them easy-fitting and graceful. Don't be misled in believing that the fashion has not it's own basic style features they are of an inbred nature consti- kuted by the lines and tailoring. Thi: permits more latitude in selection and encourages that desired individ- uality.

ing maximum wear. Some new and attractive materials are used and the colors include shades of brown, green. blue and grey, also novelty mixtures.
 Fore more dressy occasions or mild days, top coats of lighter weight. Most obvious are the distinctive cuts and careful tailoring of these gar ments. They are quite short, barely past the knee, permitting greater freedom for the legs.
 Blue and Brown Chosen Colors
 These models follow more closely the dictates for the suit coats. Belts and patch pockets rarely being seen straight semi-fitted backs invari- ably appear. Blue and black seem to be the chosen colors for these coats.
 Remembering the price requisites of the fall vogues, quality and sim plicity, one may expect to see fewer incongruities and more dignified and gracefully suited men this season. If some of the sportiness has been sacrificed, this Is more than com pensated by the acquired distinction.

mature businessman this fashion may be adapted with equal success.
 Military Suggestions Gone
 Perhaps they lose something by sacrificing the military suggestion that was in evidence, reminiscent of the doughboy's uniform, but on the whole the change in style is dis tinctly for the better, and the yarla- tion is an added charm.
 Coats are semi fitted with gener- ally lower lines. Slightly waisted. several inches lower than in the spring and summer suits. and the pockets and lapels have likewise dropped. The lapels are medium notched, long and rolling. A medium vent is used, about eight inches, the shorter vent having proved ungrace- full and not suited to the ordinary physique
 As to the number of buttons, 1t is wholly a matter of choice. usually governed by the type of figure and individual preference. Two, three and four-button models seeming to share equal favor.
 Double -Breasteds Stronger There is always a certain quantity of double breasted coats worn, espe- cially in fall. and although they are not featured, they have also received their share of attention. Noticeable in them are the same proclivities as in the single breasted models, and they lend themselves so well and readily to this treatment that there | is a strong probability of increased I popularity as the season advances.
 The trousers seem to have strucl | a happy medium. Neither the tigh-
 bottom nor bell shaped trouser legs are to be used, but straight and ful l from the hips down. This is also al
 evidence of the conservatiyeness O.
 the prevailing style. They are to b.
 worn quite long, breaking over the
 shoes, without cuffs on the bottom.
 Vests Are Gut Lower
 Five buttons have been relegatet
Arizona republican., 1921-10-04

to vests. They are cut trifle lower With longer points, conforming to the general droopy lines of the suit.
 Patch pockets were one of the in- novations that showed the direct mil itary influence and have been com pletely eliminated. Succeeding are the plain flapped inserted pockets. It will be noticed also that they have been dropped several inches to a more natural position.
 There is practically no partiality shown as to colors-if any at all is evinced, perhaps it is to browr1 which is always attractive and serviceable and has been somewhat neglected recently. However, green, grey, blue and mixed materials are amply rep resented.
 Checks and Plaids Liked
 An overdose of stripes has directed the choice to herring bones, checks and plaids for fall fashions.
 Overcoats, of course, show the same designing as suits but are more liberal in their interpretation. Belts are often employed either fully cir cling or confined to the back of the
Arizona republican., 1921-10-04

coats. This produces a trim and tapnty effect, relieving that obJec- tionable bundled-up feeling.
 Roomy pockets are also noted, and successfully further the effect of sturdy outdoor smartness that is correct and permissible in an overcoat.
 Variety In Overcoats
 Double breasted models appear to be most favored, but the best manu- lecturers are also showing some very dapper single breasted ones, espe- cially in the lighter weight top coats.
 Very few trimmed models are shown, and these confine themselves to a small, detachable collar of seal, only displayed for motoring. The fact that the prices of furs has ma >terially reduced might lead one to expect a more general use. but the reaction to that all- prevailing sim p1icity has predominated, banishing their application.

Mexican Production Failing
Off, Says Standard Oil

The Standard oil company OF
| New Jersey, in the current issue or
It's official organ, The Lamp, states
| that unless the present policy Of
OF the Mexican government toward
oil producers changes. Mexico In the
future will become an unimpOrtant
factor In the petroleum industry.
II Is also admitted that some OF
the fields now producing as much
as 500. 900 barrels of oil day, will
become exhausted by the latter
part OF 1922.
The question of the potential life
of the Mexican oil fields has been
a subject OF controversy between
so-callod experts for many months
past. one side has asserted that the
fields now producing will soon be-
come exhausted as "a result or salt
water encroachment. while the
other side declares that the oil pos
slbilities of the country have thus
far only been scratched. The OPP
position. however. stresses the point
that these potential fields can only
become fact as a result ot eX-
pensive operations and the actual
drilling OF proved wells.

The actual work of welding is now
under way and will be pushed

sible speed. In order to accomplish
this. the Prairie people have pur-
chased eight. 10O-pound carbide
capacity OXweld portable genera
tors; 46 welding stations which in
clude 5000 feet OF oxygen and

The crews with two of these
generators are starting at the MeNia
end, and working northwest: two at

Unquestionably the laying of this

Fight OH Tariff

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19,-New
England indusi rial Representatives
will appear before the senate finance
committee December 20 In opposi-
tion to tariff on crude and fuel
oils, as part of the Fordncy tariff
bill. The committee is to hear the
FREQ list December 2S. 20 and so.
and appearances also have boon
entered for representatives OF the
oil producing industry. who are cN-
pocted to urge that the tariff bill
carry rates that will give protection
against importations OF Mexican oil.
W n Davis of Rartlewillo and
Harry Smith OF Tulsa, president and
secretary Of the Mid Continent OIL
and Gas association, ana w. H.
Gray OF Tulsa, representing inde-
pendent producers are listed TO ap-
near for the tariff.
Tho decisive defeat OF the tariff
on oil when the bill was before the
house OF representatives has caused
the impression that It has less
chance before the senate committee
or on the floor OF tho senate. In
the house. whilc the price OF oil In
tho Mid-Contincnt and Texas fields
was ranging around 81, the producer
asked that n rate OF
Si.25 n barrel on oil importations.
The house committee reported a
rate OF 25c n barrel on crude ana
35c barrel on fuel oil.
. 1t has not been indicated what
rate OF duty will be asked of the
senate committee. BY vote OF the
house oil was placed on the free
list
New England consumers OF fuei
oil object to tho duty on the ground
that II would drive them to the use
of coal and thereby create a heavy
burden upon manufacturing.
