lying, surrounded by many pillows,
on an old French sofa upholstered
in turquoise.
Marcia drew his head down
kissed him and patted his cheek
with one small hand All the miser-
able morning-all her mornings
were miserable now-she had tried
to think only of his happiness and
to forget her fears
But no matter how she tried she
could not manage it, Marcie knew
that, if Elinor should find out about
Gerald, Barrett would explain And
if he explained, Elinor would be sure
to tell her mother. Or some friend.
What girl would not?
After that the whisper would
travel, and Dick would find out.
And il Dick found out he would
never, never forgive her She was
growing more certain of that fact
every day. She had tested him.
She had lain wakeful the whole
night, trying to be decent about it,
to be happy for Barrett; but fail

no intention of telling Geralds

father was stamped today as a
"strict coincidence" by the hand
some young actor. He added:

Young Fairbanks arrived by

been in England for the past few

Young Fairbanks declined to

Agreements for Stahilization

BY International News Service
Agreements for stabilization
and control Of the oil industry in
the United States have been signed
by "a Of the major oil companies
and submitted to Secretary Of the
Interior Ickes, oil administrator,
for his approval.
The agreements provide for
fixed marketing rules, limitation
Of crude oil and gasoline produc-
tion, fixing Of profit margins for
jobbers and dealers. and Stabili-
Zation of prices through regulated
purchases.
They also provide for eStab-
lishment Of a national petroleum
agency to rule the industry.
To Prevent Squeezing
The agreements were submitted
to Ickes shortly after he h d
lodged q reqqutest with the At
torney General for immediate
prosecution Of IL additional alleged
violators of the oil code.
The agreements are in two parts,
the first providing for creation OF
the national petroleum agency to
regulate the industry and the sec
ond providing for fixed marketing
rules.
Under the first agreement, the
n tional agency would be en-
powered to allocate crude supplies
to take care Of any refiners with
out adequate supplies to meet re-
quirementS. This is designed to
prevent the squeezing out OF small
refiners.
Limit Set On Oil Stocks
The marketing agreement pro-
videS that in case Of violation OF
any Of it's provisions. the Offend
ing distributor, jobber, wholesaler
or retail dealer would be deprived
Of his supply of gasoline
It also provided that the total
crude oil stocks in the United
States on July l, 1884, shall not
exceed those on hand December /,
1888, and the decrease, If any,
shall not exceed 10000, 600 barrels.
Total gasoline stocks in the
country on July /, 1884, would be
limited to 46,000,000 barrels,
which is somewhat less than the
estimated supply at present.
Retail dealers would be allowed
q minimum margin Of .31a cents
q gallon on gasoline for the class
of accounts known as divided re-.
sale accounts and cents q gallon
for the class Of accounts known
as undivided resale accounts on
gasoline Of so octane rating or
above. On gasoline below that
rating, the margin would be 272
cents and 3 cents, respectively.
Price Wars Hit
The agreement also provides Tor
minimum margins Of profit for
distributors, jobbers and whole
salers. This margin in each case
is fixed at ia times the margin
allowed the retailers.
These provisions in effect,
guarantee q fixed margin OF
profit to all retailers and distribu-
tors, They may exceed this mar.
gin if they desire, but they must
not go below it.
Under this arrangement, the
cost of any gasoline war would
fall upn the producer and not

perings with silence, and close
friends repeatedly asserted up to
the present that there is no
change in Miss Pickford's plans"
plans, which. she said at the
time Of her separation from Fair
banks, did not include divorce
unless Fairbanks wanted it.
Plans Stage Return
On Thursday Of this week, how
ever, came a brief announcement
from her office which Hollywood
now sees as the prelude to the
end. It was to the effect that
Miss Pickford would leave Holly
wood for New York, where there
is a strong possibility" that she
will appear on the Broadway
stage. The announcement said:
''Miss PickfOrd will not an
nOunce the name or the pro-
ducer of the play until it has
been definitely scheduled for
production"
Should the stage appearance
be successful, Miss Pickford was
expected to make a screen pres
entation Of the play.
Miss Pickford isolated herself
after the suit was filed and
refused to discuss further her
action against Fairbanks.
Regrets the Action
Her brief announcement said:
"FOr several years my mar
ried life has become increaS-
ingIy unhappy. Being con-
vinced that under existing cir
cumstances the future offers no
solution, it Is with the deepest
regret that 1 have filed a suit
for divorce"
Miss Pickford's divorce suit was
bereft of sensational charges. she
merely accused Fairbanks, in the
formal phraseology Of such &C
tions, of causing her "embarrasS-
ment and humiliation" by his &C
tions-"mental cruelty" as the
charge is known in California.
That Miss Pickford is deeply
affected by the course Of her mar
ital life is well known to her in
Inmates.
Fairbanks Abroad
At the time their separation
became known she made her feel
| ings clear. She said then:
81 love my husband. I don't
want to say there will be a d.
vOrce. Divorce from someone
you love as dearly and tenderly
rs have loved Douglas for 16
years il almost an unbearable
| thought. Our separations, aS
you know, have become more
and more frequent"
Ever since the separation was
revealed Fairbanks has remained
in Europe, and although Holly.
wood little expected that a d.
vorce would be filed so soon, II
was generally accepted some time
ago that a reconciliation was out
Of the question.
