BUILDS new HOME
HANDSOME AND UP-TO-DATE
PLANT Or POPULAR ICE
CREAM MANUFACTURE
ERs COMPLETE.

One OF the most interesting and
progressive Of Richmond's industries
the l. X Shepherd Ice Cream com
pany--has just completed handsome
new plant. embodying the latest equip
ment known for the preparation and
handling Of their products. The new
plant, which Is located on West Broad
street, embodies the most up-tc date
sanitary features and has been con-
structed on commodious lines. with 4
large lawn surrounding 1t that adds
much 90 the attractlveness
This concern began three years ago
In small way to manufacture Ice
cream and fancy cakes that would
meet the requirements of particu-
la class of customers where quality
ard daintiness are demanded. SO well
did the company meet the exacn3g
tastes of these connoisseurs that the
business grew by leaps and bounds
and within two years the company
had outgrown It's plant, Hence ths
necessity for the new home, which has
just been completed.
The company IS independent of any
other concern and not only enjoys Il
large share Of Richmond's trade, hut
It's products have an extensive patron
age in Virginia and the Caroltna$

gates. This spirit OF resentm ent has
been set in words by several of the
old-line leaders.
Mrs. Fl rper has said: we feel
sure that this alliance of some of our
members with the National Progress
i've party has been the mistake of Inn
pulsive women
Mrs. Lee De Forest. member of
the executive committee of the Wo-
mems Political union. has said: Miss
Adams should have resigned her
position ON the national board before
identifying herself with the Progress
i've movement. She and her follow
ers have endangered and embarrass-
cd the cause of American suffrage by
their actions.
Behind these spokeswomeu Ia a
large contingent who hold strictly to
the tenets of the national party,
which proclaim that organization to
be absolutely nonpartisan. These
women have come to this city deter
mined to bring to book the recaici-
trants..
Celebrate Recent Victory.
An occasion for particular rejoic-
ing will be the celebration OF the
of four new States TO the
little band of territorial divisions now
allied with suffrage. The new States
in which the voters declared for suf-
frage on November 5th are Kansas,
Oregon and Arizona. These.
together with the six States in which
women are already enfranchised.
bring the total number OF suffrage
States up to ten.
With this number OF States in the
suffrage ranks It is not improbable
that some campaign will be adyo-
Gated to bring pressure to bear politi-
caliy during the next two years, de-
spite the nonpartisan clause adopted
as the slogan of the organization.

CARPET EXHIBIT
IS EDUCATIONAL
MILLER a. RHoADs HAVE WON
DERFUL LOOM IN OPERATION
IN STORE.

An educational exhibit of great
value is being shown this week at
Miller & Rhoads. on the third floor.
1t is from the N. j. Whittall factory,
at Worcester, Mass, and shows how
the carpets and rugs of that manufac-
turer are assembled from the back OF
the sheep.
| For several days last week the
great carpet loom, which is the prin-
cipal part of the exhibit, was being
set up, and Saturday it started weav-
ing complicated patterns of carpet
rugs without a hitch. This loom Is
the only one devoted to exhibition
purposes In the world. and 1t cost
$4,000 dollars. Already applications
from schools and colleges are pouring
in on the manufacturers for appoint
ments at which 1t may be explained
to the students. But aside from Its
purely technical value to students of
textile Manufacture, the exhibit has
its popular side, for every one natn-
rally wants to see how carpet is
woven, or at least will be glad that
visit was paid to the exhibit after
seeing the wonderful machinery.
The loom Is one of the most COM
plicated pieces of machinery devised
by man, but 1t works with faultless
precision. Knots are tied, patterns
are woven before ones eyes, the shut
ties fly back and forth, and, presto.
a foot of carpet is woven out of a lot
of spools of wooden thread almost be-
tfore ones back can be turned. There
are LOO threads coming from as
many spools on racks behind the
weaving machine to make the wool,
land S64 threads coming in on the
sides to make the warp. The spools
are of practically every color, but the
threads never go astray.
The method of weaving the threads
into the pattern Is the jacquard pro-
cess, and the guides for the weavin z
machinery look like so many auto
Imatic piano music rolls. Looms OF
1.-THE same design are in actual use in
the Whittall mills, making rugs 9x12
feet in one piece without seams.
Many of the patterns are taken from
expensive Oriental rugs in museums,
and the resultant fabric is an excel
lent copy of the original. 1t Is really
1biai heauAC Ip@ SVulc VI tut HHSy
grades succeed In capturing the elu.
sive sheen of the Persian carpets.
At one side Is shown the wool Just
as 1t comes to Worcester from Pales-
tine, Persia, Arabia and the Himalaya
mountains. Domestic wool, It is ex-
Iplained, Is too fine for carpets and
is more suitable for dress goods. All
of these fieeces are cleaned, washed
three times with olive-oil soap and
water, combed. carded and blended
in the factories at Worcester. The
result is yarn OF great strength and
cleanliness.
All of these. operations are shown
by pictures, and samples OF the wool
at various stages In its preparation
Iare heaped upon stand under the
pictures. SO that even a child could
understand the operation. The sam
piles of dyed yarn and thread are par
|ticularly attractive, for the shades
blend into one another beautifully.
In this concern 90 "a shades are used
as standards, SO that any combination
may be had.
