Fine Rugs From Old Rags.

Beautiful and serviceable rugs can
be made from old rags. They are
not the old-fashioned rag carpet kind,
but when the colors are artistically
combined they produce soft Persian
effects. For the foundation of the
rug burlap is used. Upon this. when
cut in the size desired, outline your
design with a soft blue pencil. Then
with a steel buttonhook or large GRO
chet needle pull a piece of cloth a
quarter of an inch. wide and an inch
in length through the loosely woven
burlap and draw 1t out again as II
you we're taking an ordinary stitch in
sewing. After the whole surface of
the rug has been covered in this way
trim the uneven ends with large
shears, and the rug is finished. These
rugs may be made from wooden or
silk rags.

CONGRESS TO SIT ALL YEAR7
That the Pressure of Business
Demands II.

Senator Bourne of Oregon, predicted
the other day that the day is almost
here when congress will have to meet
all the year around.
1T looks to me-" said Senator
Bourne, that the pressure Of public
business and the needs Of the country
will require that the national legisla-
ture sit almost continuously in Wash
ington. This year congress was in
session about nine months and l look
for the same condition to prevail next
year, and all succeeding years. The
people demand that We give their in
terests earnest consideration.
When we have worked out the
problem of campaigning and popular
nominations it will not be necessary
for congressman to leave their desks
in Washington to present reasons to
their constituents why they should be
returned to Office"
Mr.. Bourne remained In Washington
during the recent campaign. practic
ing what he is preaching, and was de
feated for the nomination. His con-
stituents, he thinks, will finally appre-
ciate the fact that he remained here
to look after their interests while his
opponent was tearing down his polit-
ical fences

"GYM" FOR WOMEN is URGED
Supervisor Of Capital City Fairgrounds
Strongly In Favor Of tho
Movement.

The movement for the establish
ment of a gymnasium and swimming
pool in the central portion of Wash
ington for the use of women is receiv-
ing the approval Of persons of promi-
nence on every side.
Edgar S. Martin, supervisor of play
grounds, expressed himself as heartily
in favor of the project. He agrees
with the commissioners, however,
that the proposition cannot be made
q reality until congress becomes far
more generous than 1t is at present.
"The plan is an excellent one," said
Mr.. Martin. THE need for such
gymnasium and swimming pool is OBJ
vious At present but few women have
the advantage OF physical training. If
we had more gSmnasiums we would
in all probability have stronger race

Along with the excess verbiage the

means of lengthy letters detailing

ADDS A RICH COLLECTION
United States National Museum Re-
ceiVes Valuable Gansevoort Do
nation of War Relics,

The United States National museum
has lately added rich collection of
souvenirs through donation of val
liable series of uniforms, swards, rel
les and other objects relating to Brig.
Gen. Peter Gansevoort. Jr.. his son
and grandson. The objects of primary
interest are the ones pertaining to
General Gansevoort himself. who
served in the revolutionary war. He
was born in Albany. N. Y. July II,
1749, and died there on July 2, 1912,
at the age Of sixty-three years.
The two uniforms-one of the revo-
luton and one of the 1S10-1S12 period
attract more attention than any
thing else. The revolutionary one is
the only uniform of the time in the
museum collection except that of Gen.
eral Washington.
In the collection is sword of this
period, belonging to General Ganse-
WORT, decorated with the arms OF
Great Britain, and is undoubtedly of an
old design. There is also a folding
mahogany camp cot used by the gen
eral.
The other uniform, which represents
the period of 1s1O-1S12. is quite COM
plete and in excellent condition. 1t is
made of dark blue cloth, lined with
buff flannel, having deep cuffs and a
high collar, with broad lapels button
ing back to the coat, trimmed with
gold braid and brass buttons inscribed
with an eagle surrounded by seven
teen stars. Accompanying this uni
form is chapeau de bras of dark blue
cloth, cut in half-moon shape, a de-
sign of military hat adopted from the
French, decorated with black ros-
cite, displaying the arms of the United
States in gold and trimmed with gold
braid.

Feet Must Be Studied by Officers in the Army

Of the infantry will receive like atten
ton.
Company commanders will person
ally inspect the bare feet of their
men before a march is undertaken"
reads the order. while on the march
they will personally see each day that
their men wash their feet as soon as
possible after reaching camp, prick
and evacuate blisters, dust the feet
with foot powder supplied by the
medical department, and put on clean
socks"
By way of emphasizing the neces-
sity for obeying this order, another
clause says: Hereafter an undue
amount of foot injury and disability
from shoes will be regarded as evil
dence of inefficiency on the part of
the officers concerned as cause for
Investigation"
Then there is thus further instruc-
tion:
Company commanders will cause
the proper trimming of nails, removal
or pairing of corns and callouses, re-
lief of painful bunions, treatment OF
ingrowing nails, and other defects,
sending serious cases to the surgeon"
There is one phase of the order that
will be appreciated by the bachelor
infantrymen. 1t Is that "darned sox
