NEW STATE DEFENSE
COUNCIL Is INSTALLED

Oklahoma City, Aug. 2.-The Okla
homa State Council of Defense, as con
stituted under the Williams administra'
ton. went out of existence yesterday
and was succeeded by the new,y-appoint'
ed council of which John a. Whitehurst
Is chairman. The council Is now made
up of state officers, who are able TO
attend meetings without the sacrifice Of
time and expense in travelling to Okla
homa city.
Chester *. Westfall, who was secre'
tary of the state council during the pc
riod of the war, turned over the rec.
ords of the council to II. II. Christopher,
secretary TO Governor Robertson, yes
terday. The files and documents OF
the council will be deposited in the
State Historical Society and from these
records a history of Oklahoma's partic-
ipation in the war will be compiled.
Among the valuable records is a com
plete list of Oklahoma soldiers who died
during the war. In most instances the
council was able to show the time, place
and cause of death, but n good many
cases lacked detailed information. 1t
is probable that this list will be fur
nished for publication in the near fu'
ture. in order that the complete rec
ord can be secured.

ARDM0RE HAS LUSTY
infant INDUSTRY
MAKING ITSELF HEARD

Ardmore has an infant industry
which is making considerable noise in
the manufacturing activities OF the
city. Reference IN made to the Brooks
Stove Burner Company which operates
a factory on Third avenue northeast,
between Washington and Caddo streets.
This little industry has been in ex.
istence about six years, but owing to
various reasons has never been eN.
plotted. Whether from lack of capital
or from other causes, this manufactur-
ing concern has been running along
in a meager way until at last II seems
to have come into its own, and the
quality Of goods put out seems to have
advertised IL 10 such an extent that

The Brooks burner was patented
about six years ago by w. l.. Brooks,
plumber in the employ of local con
Germ at the time. II proved success
from the start. but there were so many
other makes OF gas stoves on the
market that II had struggle for rec
ognition.

factured by Wilson Newman, sheet
metal worker in the employ of the
same company with Mr.. Brooks

made and sold just eight stoves.

ARDMORE- KLAHOMA
CITY HIGHWAY SOON
OPEN FOR AUTO|STS

II is beginning to look as if the
Arbucltle road to Turner Falls, will
he in condition for autoists to negotiate
its entire distance ON high, in the very
near future according to statements
made by y. =. Payne, assistant county
engineer.
If things work out as Mr.. Payne am
ticipates, this will be done before peo-
pie realize such a highway is even Il
possibility much less a reality.
one day last week the engineer, to-
Eether with County Commissioner
Young. made an inspection of the road
with view to locating places where
work is most needed.
The county will be in position within
a few days now to spend from $500 TO
81 600 per mile ON this road and the
commissioners want to determine just
where this will do the most good.
AIr. Payne says that the road is in
fairly good shape as it is, but with what
additional work the county proposes to
do, it will soon be as good as any in
the county.
The Murray county officials are doing
their share toward making this an
open highway from Ardmore, through
Davis, to Oklahoma City. 1t will not
be long before their part is done.
The board of county commissioners,
according to the agreement with Ard
more citizens and members of the
Chamber OF Commerce, will begin work |
on this road the moment the necessary |
funds are available, and rush it
through to completion.

CURZON TELLS POLICY
IN SEIZED COLONIES
Says System, Will Eliminate
International JedlolSsies.

LONDON, FEB. 12.-Earl Curzon, for
merry Viceroy of India and Government
leader In the House of Lords. discussed
1T the House last night the mandatory
system Of ruling former German and
Turkish possessions as adopted in prln-
ciple by the Peace Conference.
In substance. he said. the adoption OF
the principle was merely recognition by
the world OF the principles Of colonial
administration which had been consist
emily acted on by Great Britain for the
best part OF half a century and by the
most advanced of the other great ma
lions Of the world. The difference
would be that. whereas in the past there
had been no body with authority TO in
sist upon proper observation OF condi-
tons other than the self-interest, self
respect or conscience OF the great Power
concerned. there would now be In the
Society OF Nations an organization
whose duty II would be to supervise the
arrangements and to see that they were
faithfully carried out.
1T must be apparent" Lord Curzon
continued. that the conditions of the
maTdate would vary in different cases.
One of the first results OF the manda-
tory system would be a distinct raisin z
of the standard of colonial administra-
ton throughout the world"
1t was by the acceptance of the man
datory system. he declared, that the
conference found Itself moving much
more quickly than II anticipated In the
direction of a Society OF Nations. which
had become essential II there was no
society behind the mandatory solution
there would be falling back into old
international jealousies, rivalfles and
competitions. All these dangers might
not be avoided, Lord Curzon admitted.
but the world would have. mt any rate,
guarantee OF peace infinitely greater
than any which had previously existed.
