MAKE USE OF CHEAPER DYES
AnlIine Preparations, to a Large Ex-
tent, Are Being Employed to
Color Turkish Rugs.

Within the past two years vege-
table dyes, generally of local manu-
facture, have been superseded to a
great extent by the Introduction into
Turkey Of coal tar and aniline prepa-
rations,'' write Consul Masterson of
Harput, Turkey. In the old days the
art of preparing vegetable dyes and
of dyeing was followed by many
people of this country, the secrets of
the trade being handed down for gen.
erations. Those engaged in this trade
occupied an enviable position in the
villages and lived far better than the
mechanics and tradespeople of the
place. In those times every rug weav-
ing establishment had a dyer perma-
nently employed whose, only work was
the preparation of the different col
ored woods. Indigo then formed p.
considerable item of import from IN
dia, for this color was the base of

and nearly every shopkeeper in the
market kept, as staples, some of the
commoner vegetable coloring prepare
lions.
Fortunately, however, the aniline
dyes can be detected with compare
tive ease. The colors are always
bright and very pronounced and gen.
orally, on the application of little
moisture on a rag, will rub off; or,
If a rug be placed in the sunlight for
a few days the colors will fade quite
decidedly. On the contrary, vegetable
coloring is generally not so pro-
nounced in tone, will not fade either
in washing or in sunlight, and will
grow softer, richer and glossier with
the passing years
about the only reason for this
substitution is the cheapness of ami
line colorings in comparison with the
time and labor spent in procuring the
vegetable dyes. Hunting for some of
the roots and herbs, boiling and blend
ing, all take time and labor and add
to the expense of the vegetable dyes"

Horse in Serious Trouble.

An exciting incident occurred at
Tweed Dock, Berwick, Scotland, the
other day. A horse yoked to a cart
was being backed towards the dock
side in order to take load from a
ship lying alongside. The animal
went step too far, with the result
that the horse and cart fell into the
ship. Fortunately the hold was not
large enough to admit the cart, but
considerable difficulty was experienced
in getting the horse ashore. Ropes
were tied around the animals feet. and
il was drawn up to the dock side.

Police Chiefs Meet.

Police Chiefs Meet.
Fifty-sevan police chiefs from all
parts Of Wisconsin attended the fifth
annual convention Of the Wisconsin
Association of Police Chiefs at the
st. Charles hotel, Milwaukee.
The reading of the annual address
Of the president of the association, H.
G. Baker, Racine; the secretary's re-
port by J. B. Weber, La Crosse, and
several papers by other members of
the association, featured the first
days session.
THE police departments of the
cities Of the country" said Mr.. Baker.
in his speech, form the first line OF
defense in internal warfare, contrib
uting as much or more to the protec-
ton of the country as the militia or
army. l admit that the chief of po-
lice of the average city has many
troubles, for he is usually handi-
capped by being short of men and
short of finances.
THE first step in the upbuilding or
an efficient police department is to
see that the men on the force are
neat in dress and Clearly In habits.
There should be no smoking or drink
ing while in uniform. l advocate
short hours for the men on duty, for
believe that better service will re-
suit In this way.
THE pension funds of depart
ments should be carefully watched,
so that the old men on the force will
be taken care of when they are re-
tired.
Great care should be exercised in
are handled. Be careful to search
only where the warrant designates,
and also be careful of the handling
OF property while using a search war
rant.
violence is seldom necessary In
making an arrest--in most cases 1t is
not even necessary to lay hands on
the person arrested. The laws re-
garding killing a man for resisting an
officer apply only to serious criminal
offenses, and do not permit the kill
ing of man on a misdemeanor.
Il think that one of the best ways
to stop auto speeding is to give jail
sentences to auto speeders. We must
also guard against automobile acct
dents which result from careless driv-
Ing, but although many accidents are
due to carelessness of the driver, in
many other cases It Is purely the
fault of the pedestrian who was hurt.
The rights of the automobile on the
street must be guarded as we'll as
those of the pedestrian"

The opinion follows:
"The requirement of section 1941

What the profession needs and
what the world needs and needs sorely
is more newspaper men who print
things because the public needs them
and not because the public wants
them" said G.. ]. Augustin, Glenwood,
who spoke on Prophet or Jester"
Mr.. Augustin took the view that the
newspaper should lead rather than
follow.
The resolution adopted regarding
postage and second-class mail matter
were as follows:
Resolved, That we are opposed to
the adoption of one cent letter post
age until such time as it can be done
without causing a deficit in the postal
revenues or a shifting of the burden
to second-class matter, believing that
rates for the latter are as high as
they ought to be.
Resolved, That In place of any gen
eral increase in second-class postal
rates we recommend an adjustment
on the zone system, to the end that
the larger publications and the heavy
magazines which send much bulk
mail across the continent, may be re-
CURED to pay rate commensurate
with the service they receive.
