Of OIL
PRODUCT|ONI IS SEEN
East Texas Field Has Now
Become Center of Interest
in Industry.
snecial nisnatch to The Star.

TULSA. June 13.-The transference
of oil activity to the East Texas field
Is becoming more emphatic as the major
companies increase operations in the
new area.
A decision by the Shell Union Oil
Co. to build a pipe line from the field
to it's refinery at Houston, more than
200 miles distant, brings unanimity to
the ranks Of the dozen integrated COM
panies which are curtailing their OPP
erations in improbable fields so they
may enjoy the competitive advantages
that the new oil territory offers.
The Shell interests are considered the
third largest in this new Golconda.
They are followed closely by the Sim
clair and Standard Of INDIANA COM
panies. Many of the estimates which
place the possible productive area above
100000 acres may go awry when eX-
ploitation is completed, but at this time
we'll informed oil men estimate that
nearly 10000 acres will produce oil II
the entire distance from the southern
most well to the northern limit is found
oil-bearing. 1t would be more than
ten times as long as it is wide.
In these estimates the Humble Oil &
Refining Co. STANDARD Oil Co. of New
Jersey, is said to have the largest in
terest in the field with $4,000 acres; the
Gulf Production Co. Gulf OH Corpora
tion), second with 10000; the Shell
third with 5000: Sinclair fourth with
5000 and such companies as Standard
of Indiana, Standard of New York.
Texas Co. and other large units ranking
closely behind.
While there is but little indication in
current data on crude oil production OF
the leaning of oil men toward shutting
in wells operated at large losses since
the 81 to 81 cent price was posted for
crude more than 10 days ago, gradually
suspensions will become noticeable. The
plan also involves the further pinching
in of wells in some Of the larger pools.
In the Hobbs pool in New Mexico, a
comparatively recent find which is pro-
ducing about 10000 barrels day, one
Of the largest operators has produced
but Is per cent of the allowable output
during the past week. The oil in this
field sells for IS cents barrel.

NEW YORK, June Experiment to
the present agitation in various quar-
tiers In favor of large trusts and COM
bines Is a review issued today by Domi-

Exchange. The review shows that 200
corporations, or less than Lie Of per

per cent Of all corporate net income.
The 200 companies, which include As

cent of the gross assets Of all non
financial corporations.
From these figures Dominick & D01ni-

of both the manufacturer and the pub

flcial. Indignation has made it possible
to coordinate more eficiently the many

GOVERN MENT DEFICIT
TO REMAIN AT BILLION
By the Associated Press.

More than $1,500,000, 900 will flow
into and out of the Treasury next Mon
day. But the Government deficit still
will be approximately $1,000, 100000.
For its quarterly financing program
the Treasury will sell 1921 200, 900 in
3h per cent bonds. At the same time.
it will pay off $3.50 900 900 in maturing
certificates of indebtedness receive
$90,000,000 in interest payments and
sec, 900, 900 principal on war debts from
foreign nations.
In addition, 1t will receive the Sec
ond installment of tax on 1880 incomes.
which should run between 100000, 900
and $300,000,000. It also must pay
se0,000,000 in interest on the public
debt.
The Government has spent much more
in the fiscal year ending June 80 than 1t
has collected. Rapidly declining In
come taxes and customs duties, together
with increasing expenses, sent the total
expenditure of the Government on
June 10 to $3,948, 209, 025, while collec-
tions from all sources totaled only
s., 1856, 145,3 1886, leaving the Government
with deficit of 1902 ,063, 800 on that
date.
There appears to be little chance that
the deficit will be changed materially
by the end of the month. So far this
month income taxes have totaled $l5,-
851 1877, compared with $27,208,09l In
the same number OF days last June.

NEW YORK, April 3.-Suppose
L it's cold on next Sunday
Easter! What's the fashionable
woman going to do then to make
herself look as new and springlike
as she wants to look on that day?
Even if you do find it's too cold
to wear your new spring coat on
Easter, you can still look new and
different. Some of fashions very
best spring ideas seem to have been
designed for just such an emer-
gency.
Take that extremely important
part Of the Easter costune-the hat.
A new hat for Easter is traditional
And there are plenty of new spring
hats that can be worn with a win
ter coat and look springlike just the
same.
Brimless Ones Suitable
Not one of the newest, wide, fIared-
brimmed ones, of course. The brim
wouldn't fit well in the big COLLAR
that winter coats had. But one of
the new brimless ones will. Or one
with brim turned I'D like a cuff.
They're so different from the
hats of winter that anybody'd know
they were new.
There's the little Agnes turban.
for example. Close fitting, brin-
less, with a roll-or two or three
along the edge like a frame. Or a
band of flowers that gives the same
frame effect.
We've had one sketched on the
left-hand figure. And it shows a
way to get spring color into the cos
tune, too. The puff across the front
Is in a different color from the
rest of the hat.
Has Narrow Brim
Another spring hat that can be
worn with the winter coat is shown.
too-one Of those with the narrow
brim that fits the back of the neck
closely and lifts up in front.
Either of these, made in straw or
combination of straw and fabric,
is now looking and wearable on the
stormiest day.
The fashionable bright colored or
two-colored dress is something else
that goes we'll with the dark winter
coat and keeps the spring atrnos-
phere at the same time.
Wear something of the type of |
the dress sketched at the right even
under your fur coat, and you can't |
help feeling Easter-y. Sleeves and
upper part of the bodice are light. !
The skirt is dark.
Or if you feel there's too much |
light color in this, there are scores |
Of other two-color dresses, quite as |
much in fashion, with just contrast
ing yokes and cuffs, or with con-
trasting scarfs and girdles.
A bright-colored dress-all one |
color-will do wonders toward put
ting you in spring mood on q cold |
Easter. Provided. of course, it has
new spring details.
The one sketched at the left has /
in the three-quarter sleeves, dag
onal lines and soft scarf draping.
No-certainly nobody need feel !
she has to stay home on Easter if
her new spring coat is too light to
wear. Not when there are hats and
dresses like these that are fashion,
