PAGE TWO bwm. ran ' SELLS TWILLS Ibid Khan, of Amarillo, lex., May Some Day Become Ruler of Asian Nation AMAHILLO, Tex., July 22 Table waiting Russian lobles and princesses may be common enough in New York, but it remained for Amarillo, Texas, to furnish the hot female vendor of royal extraction. For five years, on the same corner, in summer and winter alike, Ibid Khan bas sold hot tamales to those of Amarillo’s populace that care for the husk-wrapped concoc tion. Ibid maneuvers his sales in a manner befitting the Afghan prince that he is. Formal and aloof, this former British Army lieutenant, by virtue of the excel lence of his tamales, has built up a “land-office” business. On Sundays, he drives to one of the churches here in a shiny auto mobile, acquired through the sale of countless thousands of tamales. Though he is a Mohammedan, Ibid never fails to attend services. But hifc opinion of the Christian religion is not a flattering one. Christians indulge in drinking, gambling, dancing in couples and other evils, opines Ibid dasapprov ingly. His reason for not marrying is not one- to cheer the heart of the American girl, either. Ibid samply and modestly states he can’t find a woman to match his high family. But, he adds, byway of taking some of the sting out of it, that he must have a woman, not only his equal, but of the same race. Ibid’s brother, he says, is Kabler Klan, ruler of Afghan. Being next in line for throne, Ibid was sent to Oxford when he was 14. Preferring his personal freedom, Ibid ran away and joined the British Army. Eventually lie became an officer in British India. After his “stretch” in his majes ty’s service, Ibid came to Alaska and Canada, where he spent seven years selling silks at 100 per cent profit and tamales at $1 a tamale. Next year Ibid plans to return to Afghan and, if things are to his liking, a former tamale vendor may some day rule that country.
