NEW YORK. Jan. 2S. - More
women have fallen in love with Leo
Ditrichstein-on the stage Of course
than with any other man recorded
in Journalistic annals.
And they are always falling In love
with him for such different reasons.
In his recent production OF Face
Value he shows how a clever ugly
man can oUtclass a manly beauty in
the love game. In his approaching
revival OF 'sIhe Great Lover h
shows the devastating effect upon the
female heart of the glamor OF geniu.
and personality.
DESTROYS Of getting a little useful

what the poets insist is the most inn

on what most attracts women TO men.
Here are the 10 expert opinions Of
the man who never fails Con the
stage, of course) Leo Ditrichstein.
]. Personality is the greatest power
In winning a woman.
?. Physical beauty hasn't a chance

women. Brainless women no doubt
are won by superficial lures or cave
man stuff.

II was announced IN last weeks
Index that the Mammoth oil COM
pnny had ordered 20 SO,000-barrel
tanks TO be placed on Teapot struc-
ture and this week II has been given
out that the SIuclalr-Wyoming oil
company has ordered six S0,00O-bar-
rel steel tanks 10 be placed on the
cOmpanys property for the storage
OF It's own salt Creek crude. 1t is
also announced that the Sinclair in
terests will not sell any more oil at
the present low prices.
with the Texas company putting
up an initial storage capacity of
500 900 barrels and the Central Pipe
Line company one-half of that guam
tity, It would indicate that no more
oil from the h. T. Williams COM
pany leases Is to be sold at present
prices.
with these major companies all
building vast storage capacity 1t is
only reasonable to suppose that such
important companies as the Ohio,
Carter, Fensland, Kasoming and
others will also engage In stupen-
dous campaigns OF building big stor-
age tanks.
This can mean but one thing, the
big producing interests see a need
of Salt Creek crude by another year
aud are going to try to get all OF II
they can while the price Is cheap.
This will result in building millions
| OF barrels Of storage, throwing wells
wide open and probably drilling
many more.
The field will soon present a sim
liar situation to a number OF boys
sitting around a big glass from which
they are drinking lemonade through
straws and each one pulling as hard
as he can for fear the other will
get more than his share. IL this pro-
gram Is carried out 1t will probably
mean from 10000 to 100000 bar
rels a day being taken from the
( field before the close of another
year.
This will also probably lead to de-
velopmeuts in other directions as
Isuring additional pipeline outlets
/ from the salt Creek field. Indeed, II
would not be surprising II the
! Prairie Pipe Line company does not
| iay either 12 or two S-inch lines

McFaddcn starting the Marland oil
company which has become such a
bulwark In the country, and McCas-
.kcy. weaver and Wcutz taking over
the Southwestern. The story has
been told that Weaver brought from
Pittsburgh 10 Pouca city the first
real oil money this portion Of the
state had ever snen. Since that time,
however, he h1s taken n lot out of
here, for the MCCasKcy-W -WentZ pro-
.ducing flcld in northwestern Kay
county, 90 miles northeast OF ponca
city, Is one OF the most valuable oil
properties in the Mid-ContInont.
A Jolly Good Fellow,
Wherever Joo Weaver goes he IL
always remembered because OF him
being a jolly good fellow. In some
places. In fact, he has been referred
to frequently az the Fatty Ar
buckle" OF the oil world Cthat was
before Fatty got into his Virginia
scrape, OF coursc). Wcayer's ply
siquo would also match up fairly
well with the famous film ftar.
The McCaskcy- Wentz interests, so
far as their Oklahoma properties are
concerned, will refrain from any
drilling campaign outside OF what Is
absolutely necessary, and II Is un-
derstood that so far as possible this
same program will be followed in
Texas, whore the states and Duques-
ne companies are the operatives.
| Locally this program wns adhered
| to. two years ago, when there was a
! decline In price, and Wentz Is n
strong advocate OF this policy.
The acreage. which IL now paying
such big dividend in northwestern
Kay county. was leased personally
| by Wentz, a number OF years ago, at
a rental of 10 cents an acre. II was
considered generally by oil men to
| be too far south and that tho real
/ field was in the vicinity OF Dilworth.
| Wents held to his acreage, however,
and II proved to be the cream of the
entire district.
In the McCaskey-We syndicate.
| at the present time, there are just
tho three men-these two and
| Weaver-and the original shares are
| now worth s5,GoG each. After g
Iperlod OF time in oklahoma, It was
decided that Wcntz should stay at
! Ponca City and the other two so 90
Texas, whore large acreage was
assembled Mt 81 per acre. Now
much OF this acreage Is choice,
proven stuff. and only recently too
thcse,men brought in wells In a vir-
gin field in the Ecastland locality.
While Weaver is in the city. nu-
merous social events are being ar
ranged In his honor, including n din
ner last night at Lake supreme, the
country club" on the McCaskey-
Wcntz oil properties, northwest OF
this city. The dinner party included
n number of local business and pro-
tesslonal men, and also Harry Tay-
lor, one OF the McCaskey-Wen

field, and John G. Butler, n gasoline
engineer OF Philadelphia. Pa.
