rings bar pins In platinum and gold
and as for thA men Gruen watches
is what they want."
Jf. W. CLEMENS New State Hard
ware: "The veritable Christmas Gift
Shop. We have such a wide variety
of Christmas suggestions it would be
difficult indeed to designate nny one
thing they arc here though for every
member of the family."
TOM FRAME Frame Drug Com
pany: "Perfumes that solves one of
tho big problems. "What woman does
not love the scent of perfume and
whether her tasto Is for the elusive
dainty perfume or for the exotic her
wants can be found here. Candles
ivory sets stationery and many other
acceptable gifts can bo found here.' '
Bl'DD HOARD ot Budd Hoard
Clothing Shop: "This is the man's
real shop. We have bath robes for
him smoking Jnckets handsome leath-
er bags ties wool hose handkerchiefs
Just everything father brother son
or husband would like for a real gift."
"Tho practical gift is the accept-
able gift this year" Is the slogan
adopted by Christmas shoppers accord-
ing to Ardmore merchants all of
whom stnte that for the most par
sales have been ' confined to those
things which romblno usefulness with
beauty.
Shoppers are buying real gifts. They
seem to make more careful selections
than ever before merchants say and
probably the most gratifying part of
tho buying Is that no one seems to
want anything but the very best goods
the merchant can offer.
' "Only the best nothing cheap" is
the demand.
Tho gradual but certain upward
wing of the business cycle is clearly
evidenced in the constant increase in
the number of dally purchases also
an evidence that both men and women
are profiting by the merchants' ad-
vise to do the Christmas shopping
osrly.
If there is anything in the hearts of
tho Ardmore merchants but optimism
over the Chrlsunas sales they give no
Indication of it. Some merchants state
that in anticipation of less Christmas
buy tit; they gauged their buying ac-
cordingly. The stock rooms of those
merchants are fust becoming depleted
and ru."h orders have been sent to
plants.

ence plcketer appeared today at

asked for a warrant for the ar-
rest of the 'four signers" of the'

ports and villages" in Siberia
Manchuria Korea China India
Jndo-dilna Syria Mesopotamia
and the Philippine Islands "taken
forcibly without any rights hu-
man or divine and In contraven-
tion of all laws" by Japan Great

common law."
He was Informed by the police
that he would have to apply to
the district attorney for the war-
rant and he left to resume his
picketing across the street from
the pan-American buildings where
meetings of the arms delegates
were being held. He announced
however that he would apply
luter to the district attorney for
the warrant and If unsuccessful
would seek a grand Jury hearing.
When he appeared at the ipollce
station Ledoux carried his now
familiar heart-covered umbrella
his Bible and lighted candle.

THE GOLDEN GIRL
(Continued from page 1)
possessed those manly attributes so
essential to a leader of men. Dark
hair eyes of brown and the mouth and
chin of a doer. He was careless in his
dress but clean mid held his followers
In the hollow of his huge and capable
hand. Dun MHtuel they called him
and those of the older gypsies wel'
remembered when first Miguel's father
Joined their ranks and eventually be-
came their chief even as his son after
him. They remembered the day now
long ago when In a far-off Spanish
town a wild-eyed young man had come
to their ranks for food and assistance
and had thrown in his lot with them
from that hour on. About himself or
his past he had said nothing at no
time nor to anyone as far as they
could remember but rumor had It that
the dark yvung man who had ap-
peared so mysteriously In their midst
was part Spanish part American ex-
traction and that at an earlier period
of his life he had llted In America
and not as a gypsy either. To all
questions on tho subject however
Don Manuel as he called himself had
kept silent. And if beforo his death
he ronfld.nl anything to his son no one
but his n ever knew and certain
It was that whatever his antecedents
or his former manner of life had
been Don Manuel quickly adapted
himself to gypsy life and ways.
At the end of his second year with
them he had been made rihlef of the
band. Shortly afterward he married
n beautiful gypsy girl of sixteen who
adored her husband to the duy of her
death. Don Manuel In turn brought
to her all the love of his strong and
romantic nature. And out of their
great love Don Mijucl was born.

IRISH TO DECIDE
PEACEDEC. 21ST
English Parliament Awaits
Action of Dail Which
Meets Monday.
(By The Auorltlrd Tnu)
DUBLIN. Dec. 17. Final decision
on the Irish peace by the Dail Eireann
can be expected on Wednesday but
not before according to information
obtained from authoritative Sinn Fein
circles.
A statement signed by F.amonn de
Yalera and Arthur Griffith was Is-
sued today announcing a public ses-
sion of the Dail for 11 o'clock Mon-
day morning at which a motion for
ratification of the treaty will be made.
Debate on the motion to allow full
publicity to avoid conflicting opinion
in the Dail will It is thought occupy
the sessions Monday and Tuesday with
final action on 'Wednesday.
LONDON Dee. 17. With ratification
of the Irish peace treaty completed in
the imperial parliament all eyes were
turned today on Dublin where the
Dail Eireann continued Its delibera-
tions. The concensus of opinion of
the Irish correspondents of the morn-
ing newspapers Is that yesterday's dis-
cussions In the Dail added strength to
the supporters of the treaty although
it is recognized that the opposition
continues to be formidable.
AUXILIARY WANTS
MONUMENT FOR BOYS
WHO SERVED COUNTRY
A bronze or stone monument of "The
American Doughboy" to perpetui'ttt
the memory of Carter county boys who
served America during the war will
he erected In Central Park If plans
of the Women's Auxiliary of the
George R. Anderson Post of the Ame
rlcan Legion are carried out.
Mrs. R. L. Davidson president of
the auxiliary made this announcement
at Saturday's noon luncheon meeting
of the Legion at Hotel Ardmore when
wives of Legionnaires and other mem
bers of the auxiliary were special
guests.
Mrs. Davidson eulogizing the hero-
Ism of the American doughboy said
that she did not believe a more fitting
memorial could be erected than the
monument. Central Park is the only
logical place for Its erection.
Other plans of the auxiliary Includ-
ing the furnishing of the Legion head-
quarters at Convention Hall the mem-
bership drive to be conducted in con-
Junction with the Legion annual drive
were discussed.
The Legion memliership drive Is to
be launched within a short time with
Adjutant McNamara in personal
charge of the work.
Regular weekly lunrheon session of
tho Legion will be discontinued until
Saturday January 7.
Commander Ewlng Iondnn presided
at Saturday's meeting.
We S. M. Says:
"Alibis never were in
my line. IselltheWil-
lard Battery. I'm dead
sure it will give you
more miles of constant
service for every dollar
you pay me when you
buy it. It's the Thread-
ed Rubber Insulation
that does the trick. It
lasts as long as the
plates."
Make this service station
your home when your bat
tery needs attention.

Garrett Says Sims Shot
At Carroll Home
(Continued from Page One)
Hodge who filed the Information
against the men following his inves-
tigation at Wilson Friday.
Relative of Rev. Julius have made
attempts to secure the minister's re-
lease on bond but this was denied
by officers who say nothing can be
done until after the preliminary hear-
ing. lTUonrrs Won't Talk
Repeated questioning of the pris-
oner by county officials hits fulled
to reveal the motive of tho c ime At-
torney Hodge said tonight. The men
have stindfustly refused to talk.
'Third degree' has not been resorted
to as yet and officers refuse to say
whether it-will be used..
Wilsonluna Believe Klan Work
A citizen of Wilson who was In the
city yesterday . expressed the opin-
ion that the men who went after
Curroll at Wilson Thursday night
were members of tho Ku Klux Klan.
His theory of the matter I that the
Klan told Carroll to quit the liquor
business or leave tho country he did
neither ono and members of the
Klan went to his house to get him.
They had stationed In a pasture a
number of members of the Klan and
had deputized six men to go after
Carroll. Their Intention probably was'
to flog him and to -vara him In a
more decisive manner to leave the
country or to quit his business of sell-
ing liquor.
When Carroll wns called to the
dor he came with gun in hand and
the men who went after him had to
fire or lose their own lives. It Is the
theory of this man that tho Klan had
no Intention of tuki.ig Carroll's lift
but circumstances arose V.iat forced
the men to engage in the shooting.
Murder Won't Stop Work
The speaker was also positive In his
opinion thnt the killing of Carroll and
others would In no way deter the
Wilson people from going ahead with
their campaign against bootleggers.
He said the killing was deplorable and
that more or less trouble would like-
ly result from it but he was positive
in his assertions that the good peo-
ple of Wilson and of the oil fields
are determined to put down whisky
peddlers and they Intend to keep UP
their efforts until there Is not a
bootlegger left In tho country.
"The bootleggers had as well take
warning" Raid this man "and either
quit the business or leave the coun
try."
Cause of Arrest Secret
The warrant of ' Rev. Leon Jullui
was Issued upon Information receivea
by members of the sheriff's nnd coun-
ty attorney's forces In their Investi-
gation of the shooting affray at Wil-
son the nature of the Information

the officers refuse to divulge at this
time for tho reason that It might In-
terfere with other investigations now
being made by the sheriff and the
county attorney.
Assistant County Attorney John L.
Hodge stated Saturday afternoon that
he had received n message from rel-
atives ot Rev. Leon who reside at
Ranger Texas asking how much
would be required as a cash bond in
his case. Mr. Hodge Informed them
that no bond could be fixed until
after a hearing was had this will
probably be on Monday.
In all five arrests have been made
In which charges of murder have
been filed In connection with the
Wilson shooting and others are ex-
pected to be announced by the sher-
iff's department before the investiga-
tion comes to a close. '

whole heartedly and would be sat
isfied with 175000 tons If France
accepted that figure.
The position of the Italian delegation
'as It Is understood to have been devel
oped during the ciBnmlttee sessions Is
that tho Italian government had two
principles to maintain In the naval
ratio discussion one that the Itullni
navy should be on an equality with
that of any other power In the Medit-
erranean nnil two that the Italian ra
tio should be as low as possible for
Italy's ' purely defensive purposes
Italy's agreement to tho American
1 75.000 ton rnllo conditioned only on
acceptance of thnt ratio by France
followed.
