q depth Of 1884 feet It is located in
South Cut Bank and Is known as
TexacO- Government b No. 3, IN Lot 4,
Sec. 1S-32-5W. Drilled on the floor Of
the canyon formed by Cut Bank creek,
this yell Is about 800 feet shallower
than the average well In the field.
The presence of considerable gas
with the oil suggests the possibility Of
some good wells in this comparatively
new area. Fluid came up 1900 feet

Fall Fashions for Busy Lives
 Says American Designer

homespuns, and mesh and boucle knits; and the tailored fabrics like twills, gabardines, and coverts.
 "Flashes in the color panorama lead off with black, while brown and green bring up a close second. Springs beige to brown theme continues, but adds soft rusts and deeper cinnamon shades. Kelly green looks on the brighter side, while spruce green leans toward the blues. Red, patriotic in the gayer shades, extends it's roper toire to softer russets and wines. Blues go completely American with navy, marine, and soldier blue.
 "Colors, like fabrics, present dual personalities. On one hand-those bright, gay football colors to wear later under dark coats. On the other-the neutrals, grey and beige, that furnish background for color ful accents"
 Nelly Don points out such out standing details as nailhead trim, knitted cuffs and buttons Bundles for Britain influence), embroidered corduroy pockets, simulated mono grams, and Indian jewelry access sories.
 Buttons and belts are more in- teresting than ever before. Lead ing button varieties are huge plas- tic interpretations, jeweled studs, gold, silver, and pearl types. Belts vary from narrow self-color and self-fabric ties and buckled types to Western-inspired feathers and wide, colorful ties and sashes." :.
 "With so many women engaged in outside activities" says Nelly Don, "young career fashions gather added precedence. The all-American casual classic with it's many varia- tions heads the list of contenders for prominence. This ever-popular style will appear in gay and neutral solids, as well as varied British plaids and shepherds checks. They're the answer to what to wear for college career, business career, and home career.
 "And with women's defense classes becoming reality, we'll be seeing more and more suits and slack ensembles sturdy, prac- tical outfits to mix and match. h. valuable separates for a variety of l active duties shirts, skirts, slacks, reefers, windbreakers, vests, and tailored jackets in homespun, twill, gabardine, tweed, and cor duroy."
 "For dressier occasions after g." Nelly Don says, feminine America will turn more and more to street. length fashions =. just as simple in line, but gayer in accent and detail"
 "This Fall," she concludes, "1t's chin up and dress up.'" ~

JUVENILE FUN
 AB0UNDS IN
 CAPIT0I'5 INT
Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland Work with
 Strong Cast

When clever youngsters get to- gether everybody has great time. They all do, including the audi ence, when Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland and other talented juven- lies, many of whom appeared in Babes in Arms" flash on the screen in Strike Up the Band showing for the last times tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 The youngsters stage travesty on an old-time melodrama, with buzz saw, heroine tied to the rail- road tracks, and other thrills em- bellished by such ancient ditties as She's More to be Pitied Than Censured" and Father, Dear Father" that sets a new high in hilarity.

"Soft feminine, natural shoulders with just enough build-up to bal ance simmer waist and hiplines- are fast replacing the masculine, martinet effects of past years. Many raglan and dolman types headline this new trend, while the larger armhole offers extra desir- able freedom and comfort.
 Natural waistlines appear more slender with fullness and attention catching accents concentrated ed above. Skirts, slim over the hips, almost invariably feature pleats and ingeniously-placed fullness. An interesting new note are the pleated tiers - artfully designed into skirt fronts."
 "Sleeve lengths" says Nelly Don, "show little preference. The brace let-length' or 'five-eighth'' sleeve still ranks high in popularity while the bishop type offers in- numerable variations. Necklines are just as versatile-with added emphasis on the deep-throated nockllne, Vafled Dy CoItIdSIiiiS dickeys and colorful ascot scarves. Also to be seen is the ever-favored iewelry neckline :. foil for ac- cessory tricks. The classic shirt waists and coat styles with their tailored necklines will depart occa- sionally from the traditional turn back collar to sport the collarless cardigan neckline.
 "The fabric family" says Nelly Don, lis unusually talented. Bid ding for honors are the easy-to- drape alpacas, and rayon and wool jerseys. Equally important are the surface-interest fabrics - pebbly crepes, English-looking tweeds rich corduroys, peasant-inspirec
