Skirts promise to be as interesting this fall as they have been this summer, and that is savin a Kreat deal. Plaid and checks are to continue popular with a few loud stnpes to keeV them company. Or course the importance of the separate skiri has made the blouse take on a new importance and we find even the overblous has a new and interesting development. It is the tailored or semi-tailored models designed for wear with these plaid skirts and with business suits. Here is a very smart outfit which features one of these tailored overblouses and a larjre velour check akirt made with accordion cleats.

The United States Government fias spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to make the oil-shale industry possible. Plants are now in operation producing oil and by-products on a commercial basis. The largest oil companies in the country are interested in oil-shale, and millions of dollars are being spent in the erection f more plants and refineries. The United States Government has reserved Urge tract of oil-shale land in Colorado and Utah, as a source of oil supply for the American Navy for all time to come. Dr. David T. Day. Chief Engineer of the United States Gelogical Survey, says: "There is more than ten times the oil in shale beds- than there is in the fields." Professor Russell D. George, State Geologist of Celorado. says : "Possibilities in shale oil are greater than any of us now' imagine n almost unlimited tonnage of shale which will produce fully 50 gallons 'of crude oil to the ton." Oil-shale is a rock on top of the ground which, at slight cost, produces from 40 to 100 gallons of the highest grade oil to the ton; no drilling, no wild-catting, but oil production as a certainty day by day for all time to come, the daily production being limited only by the capacity of the plant. No dusters or dry holes. Scotland, France and many ohter countries have been producing oil from shales for over 70 years, at enormous profits. Tests made for the U. S. Government show the lubricating oils a'nd gasoline from shale to be of superior quality. The facts and figures concerning oil-shale would be almost unbelievable coming from any ether source than Government and authentic official literature. -This is the big year for oil-shale, after years of preparation. There will be just as big a stampede to Colorado as there was to Texas a few years ago. - The ilshale industry shows a! the big profits from oil. with the gamble absolutely removed. We have interested more than 200 people in the Calumet district men who know the oil business thoroughly. Everybody in Whiting is talking about Colorado shale. We can show you four ways by which even the smallest investor can quickly and it tainly obtain some of the big profits now being made in the oil-shale industry. Fill out and mail coupon today and get all the facts. To MIDWEST SERVICE BUREAU. 25 N. Dearborn St.. Chicago. 111. : Without cost or obligation, send me information on oil shale.
