Goldfield, Nev.-The American Min

adopting n resolution calling upon the
national government 20 pass laws

out waiting for congressional action.

DR.. COOK READY
TO SHOW PROOF
DENMARK MAY BE ASKED TO
WAIVE RIGHT TO FIRST
EXAMINATION.
SOUTH POLE IS EASY
GREAT CROWDS GREET Elk.
PLoRER ON HIS ARRIVAL IN
WASHINGTON.

Washington.-Frederlck A. Cook
the Arctic explorer. announced Sun
day night shortly after his arrival
from New York to deliver his lee.
ture. that he will acquiesce in the
proposition that the University of Co.
penhagen be asked to waive its claim
to a prior examination of his records,
in order that the American Geo.
grphic societies. and other scientific
societies in this country may be en-.
abled to review his data. He said he
would be satisfied to have the decis.
ions of all these tribunals announced
simultaneously.
Frankness characterized DR.. Cooks
answers to every question, although
the explorer added but little to what
he already has said and published
since he returned to civilization.
When asked II he would In the fu
ture fit up an expedition to go to the
south pole, DR.. Cook said he was not
yet prepared to answer on that point,
but he added that the discovery Of
the south pole would be much easier
than the north pole, and would be at
tended by far less dangerous risks.
He pointed out that a probable route
to the south pole would be along
stretches of land on which stations
might be established and that this
would mean quicker discovery.
DR.. Cook laughingly said he did not
at this time feel any earnest desire to
return to the north pole.
An enthusiastic crowd Of several
thousand people greeted DR.. Cook
upon his arrival and the throngs in
their eagerness to see or get near him
were kept in check with difficulty by
scores Of policemen and detectives.
At the station there was conspicu-
Gus lack of official courtesies to the
explorer. None Of the government or
scientific officials were present to
welcome him. nor were any civic
bodies represented.
DIR. Cook was cheered as he passed
through the streets.
DR.. Cook. in his lecture. deviated
but slightly from his previous utter
ances In describing his dash to the
pole. and sought to confine himself
more to his travels and experiences
than to discussions Of criticisms
aimed at him. He asserted that while
he was glad to nave discovered the
pole and was glad to have returned
to tell the world about II. he had en-.
deavored to make It plain that his
was a private expedition and not
backed by the government or by q
polar trust"

After day and night spent in an

who wanted the latest news from
Peary and DR.. Cook. the secretary of
one of the arctic clubs had retired
for well-earned rest. when the per-
sistent phone bell rang again. A voice
at the other end said:
DO you want the ambulance sent

What ambulance?" roared the irate
secretary.

HOW OLD CARPETS ARE
PREPARED FOR WEAVING
Rags Are Sewed Together and Wound Into Balls
for the Weaver, to Be Made Into Rugs.

While it is generally known that old
carpets can be rewoven into handsome
serviceable rugs, there are q few house
keepers to whom this information may
be of benefit.
Even those who are aware that the
| transformation is possible often lack
knowledge Of detail, such as the kind OF
rags available for the purpose. the guam
titles required for making the various
sizes, the manner of sending and the
correct preparation.
To begin with, any kind of carpet can
be utilized. Those that can be rewoven
into reversible rugs that can be used on
both sides are Brussels and ingram.
Carpets that makeup on one side only
are velvets, moquettes. Administers and
Wiltons.
Smyrna rugs, when not too much worn.
can be used by combining with carpet and
adding chenille. This process, l am told
is done entirely by hand. so an extra
charge of % cents per square yard is
made, but the result Is usually a beauti-
full. rug.
Brussels and ingram cannot be united
| in the same rug. They must be woven
separately.
| To calculate how many square yards
of rug can be produced from an old
carpet one must figure as follows:
Six running yards or eight pounds OF
Brussels carpet will make one square yard
of rug. Allowances must be made for
worn-out and threadbare parts.
When such exist one to three yards more
must be added to the amount as stated
above in order to get rug of the desired
size.
Pieces as small as one inch wide and
twelve inches long can be used. Should
the length of the old carpet fall short of
the amount necessary for reweaving into
a rug of desired size, then the quantity
can be made up by the weaver, who
| charges cents q pound for carpet cut
tings, which are usually in stock.
|. This is a convenience.
Another good idea is to send pieces of
any kind of carpet with the large guam
| tity of the sort desired, because often it
may be woven or possibly exchanged for
| a. weave that would combine to ad-
vantage.
| Carpets may be shipped just as they
come from the floor. without beating OF
other cleaning, as this is done as soon as
| it comes into the factory.
Handsome rag rugs can be woven from

swered plea for leniency for the high

terntties and sororities have no place in
the public school system, and that we
had formed a rule against them, and that
that rule was q law
Il also told him that even il we had
to depopulate the high schools we would
crush out the fraternities and sororities.
I told him furthermore that when an
organization of fifteen or sixteen year old
boys or girls set themselves up as social
censors and were permitted to exist it
was the beginning Of, the sapping of the
foundation of our public school system.
Il can say that we will expeI every one
