Tor Better Roads.

Many Americans who live in or
ear large cities would be surprised
70 hear 1t stated that the United
ftates has the poorest roads of any
civilized country in the world New
9rthaess, the statement is de-
3clared by all who have had an op-
1portunity to learn by experience to be
professionally true, when the roads
of the whole country are considered.
Lately there has been much criticism
of the automobile as being de-
Structive OF good roads. The damage
rs so great that In France the Gov
iernment has been forced to take I'D
fhe matter, and Is even now studying
preventive plans. In the United
states, however, 1t may be that the
automobile will yet prove a powerful
anhuence in better roads. The Amer

New Rugs From Old CarDets.

Our upper hall is q passage hall In
antique oak with green and brown
burlap. The carpet on the stairs
leading to it is brown, old yellow and
green. In recarpeting the hall it was
our wish to use the same carpet as
on the stairs, but when we wanted to
order it We found that the design
was no longer on the loom and that
1t was impossible to get any more of
1t. Nothing else seemed to match in
color or design and we were sadly
perp.exed.
At last thought came to us. We
gathered together the Wilton and vel
vet carpets that were SO worn and
faded from their latest service in the
laundry tnat the storage attic
wouldn't take them IN. Even the
rag man wouldn't pay his customary
cents for them. These we sent to a
rug company to have two new rugs
made of them in sizes Of two and
one-half feet by fourteen feet and
two and one-half feet by five feet.
These firms weave any old Garnet,
you may have into durable rugs and
are highly to be commended. When
our old. faded, worn out, dirty rugs
were returned to us we found them
transformed into two beautiful rugs
OF softest color. They were woven
as filler and contained grays, yell
lows. light browns and an old French
blue. They cost Just Sc.
For weaving old carpets into new
rugs am told the ingrains and Brus-
sells are preferable. II you have any
old carpets about the house do not
be ashamed Of them and throw them
away. Keep them until you need a
new rug. 1t Is also we'll to tell the
weaver that you want a blended color
efrect and what the predominating
tone should be. Then, If your car
pets do not have the requisite colors
the weaver can add the color in new
materials at cost of eigh. cents a
yard.-Good Housekeeping.
