TO TAKE
FLYER IN OIL

A recent issue of the Index con-
tanned a speculative editorial on the
probability of Henry Ford entering
the oil business. Now m the
Tulsa World with a column story to
the effect that the Ford interests were
seriously considering the a~dvisability
of such an undertaking with an initial
expenditure of $4,000, 900 for secur-
ing properties, pipe lines and equip
ping service stations. Thru his auto
mobile agencies it is stated that Ford
already has d nucleus of more than
1000 filling stations. Tulsa promoter
is credited with being the first to put
the oil bug in his ear. Be that as it
may, it is also reported that his son
is interested in the drilling of a wild
cat well now under way near Lingle,

the absence of a trail would be a
great handicap.
There is no correct map and no
exact information obtainable as to the
names of the creeks which flow into
Crandall at its head.
They found a few blazes on trees
along the ridges but so old that the
bark had grown over them and must
have been made 40 or so years and
evidence of an old trail along a stretch
of slide rock, but no other sign that
white or red man had ever been there.
They had to leave their horses and
go on foot over al old game trail. The
creek in places flowed between per-
pendicular cliffs of solid rock some
six or sever hundred feet high. The
country was so rough that
it was not found possible to make a
trail for saddle horses. The trip was
most interesting to the forestry man,
however, and will result in the re-
mapping and remaining of some of
the creeks which flow into Crandall
creek.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct. 6. - Foura
pouches of watersoaked mail salvaged
from the Cole creek wreck were

The terms OF the 1922 beet contract provided that final settle
ment for all beets delivered hereunder should be paid not later than

WHY GLOVES!

Has ever woman's dress been as practical, sensible, coed

No more long skirts to wipe up dirt and microbes with
every step. No more full skirts requiring hours of labor and
yards and yards of material to make.
No more hooks and eyes to sew on and hook and unlock.
Not even clips to unfasten. No waist and skirt parting com
pany at the belt. Just a slp-on to pull on. Neat, comfortable,
time and larbor saving.
The most stylish the most simple. The quality of the mate
rial and the lines of the gown giving the style rather than
any elaborate trimming.
Hats, too, are sensible. Generally light in weight, simple
in style and comfortable in size and shape. Not fastened to
the head with long, ~stabbing hat pins like former days, but
shaped to fit without a pin.

SECOND FiddIe KIsmets
By LQRA KELLY

avn
With the present rage for sheiks
and other turbaned gentry comes a
consideration of the Persian word
"kismet."
In this country we earnest movie
fans believe It TO mean fate" OF
destiny" Sometimes it is, engraved
on our wedding rings. and then II
seems to mean abandon hope all ye
who enter here"
But on. its native. strand the word
'kismetH means anything that is IN
known about the human soul, and
The Ntohammedan outlook is summed
up thus:
'"Woman's kismet is slave girl to
mans kismet.H
Apparently they haven't heard
about the woman suffrage amend
ment, which has made the world safe
for kismets as well as for DEMOCRACY.
when you were a king in Babylon
and 1 was your Christian slave" is a
picturesque thought WREN you see il
on the screen.
But a king in Babylon who gets
peevish when the hot water faucet
runs cold, who cannot. match a yard
of crepe and who continually forgets
to mail that letter you wrote to Aunt
Sue asking her to postpone her visit,
is a trife tough on even the meekest
Christian slave.
Some women call this alteration
love; some call 1t long suffering and
others downright foolishness.

Wrinkles are a serious matter in
a woman's life, apart from personal
vanity.
To the business woman. whose
alertness of mind is often mistaken
ly judged by the face, wrinkles are
a decided drawback. To the actress
whose career is built on beauty they
are almost fatal. but they are cruel
est of all to the average married
oma whose husband fell in love
with her while she possessed the
charm OF youthfulness.
Wrinkles are deterioration. They
come from different and combined
causes. There are large loose
wrinkles and tight wrinkles; there
are wrinkles that seem to make the
skin gather in tight little punches
and there are light wrinkles that
seem to be traced on the surface of
the skin. The same basic princl-
pies of treatment apply TO all.
