studying his part in ''Kismet" he
asked an Arabian gentleman called
M. Bitar to come to see him. NJ.
Bitar found him draped in a white
burnous, his feet in sandals, and
having just apparently emerged from
Turkish bath. Guitry said that he
wanted M. Bitar to teach him straight
off the necessary words of Arabic
for "Kismet."
what does an Arab say when in
great brief?" he asked. "An Arab
says 'Aouah, Qua, hasratah.'" M.
Guitry repeated the words straight
off with pure Arabian accent.
M. Bitar says that the Arabian
letter "h" is the most difficult for
any European to pronounce. 1t gen.
orally takes years to learn, and
many never succeed in learning it at
all. NJ. Guitry spoke it like an
Arab straight off. He has also
learned to sign his name in Arabic.
Moreover, in subsequent meetings,
NJ. Bitar talked over the Koran with
him and discovered him to be a
Mussulman at heart. For instance,
NJ. Bitar remarked, "Mohammedans
hold that a woman is not a person
but only a thing" How right they
are." fervent!y Answered NJ. Guitry.

ENGINEER REEpER HERE.

&. w. Reeder, chief engineer with

One week ago Mr.. Reeder and his

territory. He is ready now to make
his report to the railway people and
upon that report it depends what
route the road will take. Mr.. Reeder
will report on two lines, one will run
to Cornish and from there by way of
Duncan or Comanche and the other
report will be made on a proposed
line running northwest of Ardmore
ten to twelve miles and from that
point due west. The estimate on the
vest line will be on the Frisco dump.

At THE MERCY
Of A BLIZZARD
NATURE WAGES WAR ON ICE
TRUST-PlPES BURSTED ALL
OVER CITY.

Running regardless of orders the
cold wave special, the first section
ri which passed through this state
Saturday, continued all day yesterday
and through the hours of the nights
darkness. The snow which visited
otler sections of Oklahoma, fell in
the form of a sleet on the southern
slope of the Arbuckle mountains and
coated everything with a glistening
sparkling layer of ice. In Ardmore
where the asphalt streets are the
finest, the ice seemed to be the slick
est. Even the waves of lurid profan-
!ty which floated out of the numerous
supply was consigned to a place where
aid would be given it in heating the
family stoves and cooking the family
meals proved inadequate to the tasS
cf removing the coating of the slick
est of all the slick ice which Ard
more streets have ever seen.
With the mercury only reading eleY-
c1 degrees below the freezing point
and the gas meters clicking merrily
onward and roundward, coffee pots and
but froze on the kitchen ranges while
he ads of families, together with their
wives and babies, clustered about
their dining tables, and, wrapped in
furs and blankets, breakfasted on
canned goods this morning.
And after the morning repast, when
the head of the house-in numberless
instances-fired his parting shot at

esQue silence against the walls, them
selves blue and cold, and started
downtown, it was found that tru'y
the worst was yet to come If the
situation indoors was deplorable it
was little better outside. True the
exercise one got served to warm the
blood after the nights refrigeration,
but then that exercise proved a dan
gerous pastime.
Like the ancient mariner" with
water, water everywhere, and not
a drop to drink" Ardmore pedestri-
ans found hemselves, when once they
started out upon the streets, adrift
on an endless waste of ice without
a spot on which to sit-that is, a
soft spot.
The streets of this little city pre-
sented a busy scene for several hours
this morning. 1t would have kept
thorough mathematician reasonably
busy to calculate whether the great.
er number of our citizens were stand,
ing up or sitting down-or just in

an unusual sight to see man start
grandiloquently forth for some given
point only to meet himself coming
back before he had taken the third
step on his journey.

City Manager Plan of
City Government
Proves a Big Success

W HEN the city of Galveston,
WEWH Tex. was nearly wiped Off
the face Of the map by
Il great flood the city au-
thorities felt their inability to deal
with SO great Il catastrophe. So in
1901 Il commission was named to take
owe the affairs of the city. replacing
the mayor and councilmen. When first
chosen it was the intention of the city
to retain the commission only until the
city should assume its normal state.
But so successful was this unique eX-
pertinent, so we'll did the men do their
work and so rapid was the task of re-
storing the city to it's former state
that the citizens were loath to go back
to the aldermanic system of municipal
government. They never did.
The Des Moines commission plan
followed soon after. This was a much
larger city for the commission plan Of
government and it's success or failure
was eagerly anticipated by other mu-
inequalities. Many other towns and
cities in all sections of the country
have since adopted city charters model
ed after that Of Galveston and of Des
Moines with light changes adopted to
fit local conditions. The recall and
referendum are embodied in many Of
the charters. The plan has long since
passed the experimental stage and has
proved it's worth wherever given a
trial.
But Staunton. Va, was the first city
to take another step in the same direc-
ton. This is a city Of $4,000 inhabit-
ants, and until three years ago its
affairs were administered by a city
council and a mayor. It is forbidden
by law to abolish these institutions,
but decided to hire a general manager,
an expert in municipal affairs to direct
its business. Staunton's city council
acts as a safety valve for this expert
and the mayor works in conjunction
with him. The manager is under bond,
directs the city's affairs. purchases
supplies and has charge Of all city
improvements.
The town Of Sumter, S. c., likewise
has employed a municipal expert tc
direct the affairs Of the city. The city
