THREE WEEKS
UNTIL We HAVE
STYLE WEEK
GREATEST EVENT IN HISTORY OF
THE CITY WILL ATTRACT THOU
SANDS - AUTO SHOW AND
SPLENDID MUSIC.

With the spring style show just
that it will come up to the eXpecta-
tions of the merchants and others in
terested in every detail. The adver-
tising campaign begins tomorrow,
when Secretary Gilbert leaves on a
two weeks tour in the territory to
thoroughly advertise every feature.
Already considerable interest has
been manifested in the neighboring
towns, and there seems to be a gem
eral desire to see Ardmore with its
new appointments.
The merchants are perfecting their
plans for fashion night, the opening
night of the week. That there is
going to be considerable good-natured
competition to see who can put on
the best show for the benefit of the
visitors, goes without saying. Every
concern is concealing its special fea-
lures, and more than one expects to
spring a surprise.
The demonstrations are not going
to be confined to the dry goods stores,
either, as other lines of enterprise are
busy building special displays for the
week, some of which are promised to
be exceptionally unique.
The automobile parade feature has
swept the city, and the parades, both
day and night, will be considerably
out of the ordinary. Practically every
auto owner anticipates being in line,
and some resplendent features are
being arranged.
The stellar attraction for the week
will be Uncle Sans big band, with
the two concerts on Sunday, April 9.
Director Montin has arranged for
these two concerts, the greatest eff
forts ever put forth by his musicians.
The band has played for the president
and at many official functions and
the interest in it here is general. The
tickets are going fast, and on account
of the limited seating capacity of the
High school auditorium, no more tick
cts will be sold than can accommo-
date all comfortably. Up to last
night little more than half the
tickets had been disposed of and the
ticket committee will check up all
sales Tuesday so as not to run any
danger of overselling.

IS
PREPARING To
BARLUXURIES
iMPORTATlONS TO BE LIMITED
TO NECESSITIES IN NEW CoUN-
GIL ORDER - BAN ON AUTOMO-
BlLES FOR PRIVATE USE.

London, March 1S.-A far-reaching
order-in-council which will totally pro-
hibit importation into the United
Kingdom of a large number of arti-
cles which come under the general
heading of Injuries, will be issued by
the British government at an early
date
Among the things which will be
placed under the ban will be automo-
biles for private use, musical instru-
ments, cutlery of all kinds, hardware,
yarns, chinaware, fancy goods and
soaps. The order will apply equally
to all countries, including the British
dominions and colonies.
This forecast of the coming order
in-council was given to the Associated
Press Friday in an interview by Wal
ter Runciman, president of the board
of trade. Mr.. Runciman admitted
that articles in addition to those
of prohibited imports but in advance
of the issuance of the order, he de-
clined to say what they are. He
agreed that the decree would have
considerable effect on exports from
the United States but pointed out
that it applied to all countries alike
and declared it was absolutely neces-
sary to limit the shipment of bulky
luYuries in order to provide room on
ships for necessaries.
Must Get the Necessities.
But please remember" said Mr..
Runciman, that the issuance of this
order is forced on the country, not as
a matter of policy but entirely be-
cause of shortage in tonnage. We
want exports from the United States;
we want your wheat, cotton and meat
and we need other things which we
cannot get if the space aboard vessels
is taken up with luXuries.
Everything possible is being done
to relieve the shortage in ships. Every
ship flying the British flag is now
controlled by the government. I'M
mense numbers of them have been
requisitioned. Others are subject to
direction by way of licenses. Wheth-
er it will be necessary to requisition
more vessels, cannot say, but for
my own part, hope this will be
done"
Mr.. Runciman said the import of
some fresh fruits probably will be
prohibited later but he pointed out
that this would effect the United
States only slightly. Turning from
the matter of imports to the general
industrial situation in the British
Isles. Mr.. Runciman said there never
had been greater activity in the lar
ger industries, that wages were high
er than ever before and that the per
centage of unemployment had never
been so small in the history of the
country.
Activity in Larger Industries.

Count Frederick reversed the wheel.
Little by little, the gurgling and rush

After a detailed discussion Of tho

bone and clay figurines recovered
from early Egyptian graves, together
with a number of skulls, he proceeded
to examine some early ceremonial
slate palettes, which are illustrative
Of the fauna Of the country at that
period, as well as of the artists skill.
These palettes were used for toilet
purposes, the malachite which was
used for face paint being ground upon
them, and 1t is interesting t. note that
traces of paint are still visible On
ONE of them.
They are of further Importance, in
asmuch as they illustrate pictorally
the traditional conquest IT the North
by the South prior to tfe u%nificAtion
of all Egypt under one monarch, tho
legendary Mona, one whose histori-
cal counterparts would appear to have
been Aha-Men.
The early p%redynastic Egyptians
were Neclithic, and the fints Of their
workmanship are the finest wrought
f1ints il the world, but later on copper
came unto use.
The Semitic element in the Egyptian
language proves conclusively that
there was a Semitic element in the
blood Of the dynastic Egyptians, but
this fact does not seem to have much
bearing CT the connection between
tie early Egyptian and Babyloniaa

helpless terror.
And yet now, az the last instant,
it was Count Frederick himself 10
whom it vas given to devise a plan,
desperate In itself, yet, as II CHANGED,
effective.
His eyes fell upon a great wheel,
rusty and long disused, which thrust
out Of n corner Of the room. AS
he saw it his gaze kindled with the
sudden thought which it suggested.
He knew what it was and what it
meant-what hope it offered now.
Keep them talking" he whispered
to Kitty, in a quick aside. Engage
them for just q moment-keep them
busy--wait."
Count Frederick knew that this
wheel and the levers beyond Gen.
trOlled the drainage outlet OF the
great moat which surrounded the
rear PORTION Of the castle. Those low
er gates one opened, there was moth
ing to prevent flooding Of the subter-
ranean passages. The moat waters
had been used for hat very purpose
in the paSt-so ran traditiOn-ani
great had been the slaughter wrought
upon ancient enemies OF Gretzkoffen
through that very means. Here they
were living in the past-here they de-
manded of the past its s~ecrets-here
they were surrounded by all the grim
memorials of the past. Why, then,
thought Count Frederick, why not use
that past and the means that once
had been sufficient to it?
He laid his hand upon the wheel.
It had not yielded to an arm less pow
erful than his, and eve his strength
was necessary to it's limit before he
could force it to yield, long disused as
it had been here. But at length it
Gid turn a little, and then more and
yet more.
The result was beyond all %calcula-
ton. There came the sound Of rip
ping, and then Of rushing waters. It
came in the passages back of the in
vaders. 1t filled the stone floors alcng
the corridors. It Tapped their feet. It
bathed their ankles. It rose swiftly
to their knees. And then consterna-
ticn seized upon all those who but now
had stood triumphant, taunting, men
acing. OF a truth, the trapped crea-
lures had turned and wrought their
own vengeance.
Quick, get to safety" commanded
Frederick now. And even as he and
his companions found a little higher
level in another chamber whence
they could see the work of the wa
ters on their foes, those foes them
selves began to cry out in terror at
the mysterious enemy against which
they could not battle.
