Oriental Rugs

From Harper's Weekly
 Oriental rugs, so-called, are classified ill five divisions: Turkish, Caucasian, Per sian. Turcoman and Indian. The best authorities seem to be agreed that thai style wherein the unit of ornament seems to be of paramount importance is found in the Turkish division. Geometric de- sign marks the second or Caucasian, ana distinctly floral ornament the Persian d. vision, while the octagon and medallion are laborately worked out in the fourth or Turcoman. The fifth or Indian di- vision lends itself most lavishly to tiny details in the elaboration of even the large structural patterns of even great spaces with minute traeery.
 There is simple means of determining whether a given rug is really of the great age that helps to make 1t Valu- able. Draw out a wool thread from the rug and try to straighten it: the 'kink will remain in 1t even after weeks cf soaking in water.
 The Turkish rug patterns show cer- tain peculiarites of talismanic form, woven in as charms against the evil eve. The Mecca" rug. which is occasionally seen in the Occident, is often an heir loom of great value, a thing of beauty made for the use of a pilgrim on his way to tho sacred city. Experts sometimes carelessly give the impression, in speak ing of a genuine Mecca that these rugs are made in that city. There is a tradition to the effect that the Gore van rug of Persia, a popular weave with western buyers, found it's wonderfully beautiful background in the effort or a certain weaver to initiate the sky and it's drifting clouds.
 Certain of the most exquisite rugs of Persia are decorated with Arabic charac- ters forming sentences from the Koran or poetieal quotatioins.
 The dyes employed in the colorins of materials that go to make up Oriental rugs have always been the despair of westerners. We are told of one strange method of making the dyes of ancient days. It seems that in some places the custom prevailed of making holes in the beds of brooks during the dry season, in which, when the rain fell, all sorts of vegetable and mineral substance were deposited and left to act upon one an other until the dry season arrived when the contents of the holes were removed by the dyers, who. grinding all together indiscrimnately. made shades that Vied with the pigeons breast in beauty and with the clouds or sunset in variety.

COGDELL FOOTBALL FAMILY TO INVADE
 1: AUBURN CAMPUS
COGDELL FOOTBALL FAMILY
 TO INVADE THE AUBURN CAMPUS
TWO BROTHERS AND THREE COUSINS ARE TO TRY FOR THE ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE TEAM NEXT FALL

There will be a family invasion al Auburn next season and every member of the quintet will try for places on the football eleven, according to dope dropped by Cogdell. the famous Auburn end and tackle of 1909-10-11, who played in the ail-star game at chatta- nooga on Christmas.
 Vive Cogdells two brothers of the tackle, and threescousins, will enter Au- burn next season and try for places on the team. None of the five weighs less than 190 pounds. Probably one of them will try for the backtield and the other four for the line. Strange to relate, each and every one of the five is con- fident of making the Auburn team.
 Should the five, individually, prove to be as strong as their relative who pre- ceded them the other southern colleges might as well resign and let Auburn have the championship next season. Cogdell attracted notice by--his play in the Sewanee and Vanderbilt games in 1909, just as did Hardage and he con- tinued to scntillate for two years. He came through Chattanooga as a travel ing salesman, and, quite by accident got in touch with the ai-star game promoters. The committee undoubtedly made ten strike" when he was land ed for the line.

DEATH CLAIMS MANY MEN PROMINENT IN
 WORLD OF SPORTS
MIGHTY JOHN MGRAW IS A MEEK LITTLE LAMB WHEN ON THE STAGE

One night in Boston two O. three years ago the boys got to ssylarlking around the Coply Square hotel. Their rooms opened on a court and they certainly made the night hideous. I remember that Fletcher squealed like a pig, meowed like cat crowed like chicken and Whinned like a horse that Snodgrass parked like a dog and mooed like COW. tfen Rube stuck his head out of the wln- dow and when he started there was q shower of brushes. soap and other mis- siles. The next morning the proprietor came to me.
 T don't mind the fellow who grunted like d pig and l can put Up with the chap who crowed like a rooster; yes, can even stand for the party who parked like q dog, but I'm after that guy who woke up all my guests at midnight by roaring like q bull.'
 That gives you an idea of Rube's vocal powers He has quantity, but not quality of voice. l suppose he attaches a Maxim silencer to it in the theatres.
 As a singer. your Uncle John Me Graw is fair manager of ball team And as a dancer I'm a good third base coacher. Good singers seldom make good ball players. One time a young fellow was recommended to me.
 Can he hit?' I asked
 Well, just fair; but
 What can he do?'
 Well you just ought to hear him play the piano.

 Tommy Long, the Gadsden, Ala, boy who played right field for Mobile last season. will be a Cracker. That is a certainty. Only the actual transfer has to be made.
 Pitchers Musser, a big right lander, and Boehling promising left lander are two men that Manager Smith Is hot after and whom he expects to land. He is pretty keen for Musser, but will take Roehling too, if he is offered to him.
 Musser is over six feet tall weighs close to 200 pounds, has plenty of speed and control and possesses all the earmarks of big league timber, being lacking alone in ex1Nrienee Griffith believes that with year under smith he will be just ripe for major league company.
 If Musser and Boehling are landed Smith will stand pat on his pitching staff, and if Jay KirlIe is eventually landed from Boston, he will stand pat on his team.
 From Washington Mana ger Smith will go to Macon for a visit to Presi- dent Etheridge of the Macon club and from there to George Stallings' farm at Haddocks, Ga, for a few days hunt.

Don't Get Injured

From the Weekly Telegraph
 I've been thinking of it ever since I started on my present journey said the commercial traveller thoughtfully, and I'm bothered if l can make up my mind just what she was aiming at You see. some time ago I realized that travelling about the country as I am ] was taking a good many chances. decided, therefore. to insure myself.
 "So I said to my wife, after l had acted upon the thought I have done some thing today that l should have done when l first started on the road I have taken out an accident insurance policy on my life. If l am killed the pay s5000. If I am injured, then I get s5 a week

New Women of Persia
rom the Moslem World.

From the Mosem World.
 Persian women are essentially feminine. They want our education, our dress, our freedom our happiness. Dress, 1t will be observed, comes first in the catalog of feminine wants but a change of dress or coiffure seems essential to all revolution ary movements.
 In Teheran. in glace of the face veil of white cloth the Persian new woman now wears a small square of black net or woven horse haia; her shoes have high heels; d European skirt has taken the plt ce of the short skirt and narrow trou- sers; the head kerchief is being aban- doi.ed. One lady tried to introduce an outfit to take the place of the ''chuddar" leaving the face heavily yelled; but it was too revolutionary even for Teheran. and after being taken for the eX-Shah in dis guise,, the wearer reverted in disgust to more orthodox clothes. In her home the new woman offees cigarettes instead of the waaer pipe.

BOLD RObbER|ES
 STIR NEW YORK

New York. December 29.-.An epidemic of bold robberies and safe erackings in Bronx borough, apparently the work of an organized band of criminals who are estimated to have realized something like S1100Co in loot from their operations, has been ended, the police believe, by the ar rest today of five men and two women.
 The safe blowers worked with such clev- erness that many business men slept in their stores to guard their property. A chance pickup by a policeman today of d suspected character who gave his name as Harry Gilar and upon whom were found skeleton keys, safe drills and other paraphernalia used by cracksman, led to a raid on an apartment and the other arrests. In the raided apartment the po- lice found complete outfit of cracksmen's $ tools and quantity of explosives.

The Cabaret Must Go

From the Chicago Journal.
 A well-Snown author and traveller, re- turning to this land of the free and easy after trip to the other side of the world. declares that the cabaret shows of New York would not be tolerated in the South Sea islands. They were too rough"
 Whether New York Is proud or peeved at this tribute to her supreme naughti- ness no outsider can tell. For years past New York has seemed to take pride in being the home of things that no other city would tolerate. But of late there are signs of q change.
 Crime waves are no longer treated as jokes in Gotham. New Workers do not laugh now when speaking of the system" that scheme to plunder the public. The latest group of prominent murderers has been sentenced to the electric chair in record time. arter q trial which was fair to the city as well as to the accused.
 New York is changing; and sooner or later the change will reach cabaret shows. Whether the distinguished au- thor quoted above lives long enough to observe progress Is another question.

Acid Scar Made By Hazers Removed

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Hammond Smith, the Dickinson col ege freshman, who was branded a across the forehead with acid by hazers few weeks ago. has recovered entirely from the effects of his experience.
 Smith was taken to the hospital with the word. Fresh burned into his skin. It was believed impossible to remove the stains of the caustic without soaring his face permanently.
 He was treated by process called by the physicians ''desiccation."
 This process is made possible by the use of an electric needle attached to a high frequency coil. So great is the heat derived from the needle that the old and scared skin is burned entirely off and in it's place the new and healthy cuticle or underskin Is driven into a new growth which comes to the sur face under the powerful violet rays of the static machine and heals as though there had never been scar there.
