Commissioners Approve PrecRutiOR
Against Collision with Trucks.

At the request of the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association. and on the recon-
mendation of William r. Belt, chief engi-
neer. fire department OF the District, Cor
poration Counsel +. II. Thomas has pre-
pared an amendment to the police regula-

cans, which the Commissioners have ap-
proved
The amendment provides for the con-
stitutiHS' of Fourteenth street and Park
road as car stop, I'm addition 10 those
already designated by the regulations on
the subject, namely, Fourteenth and

The reasons assigned by the citizens
association is that the fire truck housed

thereby inviting collisions such as those
which have happened in the last few
days between street cars and fire trucks.

citrate its warp and weft, which
once affected, will sooner or later re
suit in the decay OF the textile fab.
rlc. Thus the life of the rug Is en-
dangered for the sake OF bringing II
into a strlcter harmony with the re-
quirements Of modern decorative
scheme.
Another ingenious practice often In.
dulged in by certain dealers is that
Of dyelng them with paint and brush.
introducing desirable hues and sub.
stituting certain common tints with
colors more sought after. such as
green, rose, etc. These practices are
too recent 10 furnish sufficient data
for form an opinion as TO their ulti-
mate effect on rugs so treated. But
they emphasize the need OF extreme
care on the part OF purchasers In the
selection OF their rugs. The wisest
as well as the safest course would
be. especially when costly pieces are
under consideration, to secure the
services of a disinterested party
whose knowledge can be relied upon
There is no doubt that with due
care both In buying AMI in using
them Oriental rugs will still be found
worthy Of the high reputation which
they have uniformly enjoyed as the
standard Of excellence and worth.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1907-12-17

Is indicative OF the advanced state
OF our peoples taste no less than
their prosperity that there are more
Oriental rugs in the United States
to-day and OF far better STANDARD
of grade than in the entire Continent
OF Europe.
Some OF the best-lSnown Persian
rugs in this country are Herman,
Goeravan, Tabriz and Syutanabad.
Kermans-The principal features
Of these rugs. which distinguish
them from others. are their soft,
neutral dainty colors, the prevalence
Of floral designs in their pattern, a
glossy .,sheen, and a shortcut pile.
These ruga represent the highest
standard OF the art OF rug weaving
ever achieved.
Goeravan-Next in popularity in
Persian rugs come Goeravan or Sc
type. A bold medallion, bright col.
ors. and lack of detail work In the
pattern are their characteristic
marks.
Tabrlz-In point OF texture and
durability Tabriz are probably the
best rugs made, but from a decora-
tive, point OF view they lack all the
desired features OF Kermans Col.
ore are crude, designs too exact, and
outlines too sharp; the very irm-
ness OF the weave and formation OF
the pile preclude the wool from talk
ing on gloss.
Suntanabad-This rug is called af-
ter the city bXJhat name, one of the
principal rug centers or Persia Rugs
woven here are known in our coun-
try under the names Of Sultanabad,
Mushkabad. ad Savalan. There is
no apreciable difference between
them.
The, present practice OF washing
rugs with preparations of lime, etc,
TO reduce the bright colors OF the
modern rugs has done much TO shake
the faith Of the informed public in
these goods, OF once undoubted merit.
II is argued that II an application
OF such chemical solutions is strong
enough to affect the surface of the
pile, IL may be strong enough TO pen.
