Pure Rug Law

If the U. 5. Congress should pass such law,
more than two-thirds of the Oriental Rugs coming
to the United States would be sent back to where
they came from. but as this is impossible at pres
ent we just had to pass our own laws and make
our store PURE-RUG STORE. Now, this word
pure, as applied to Oriental Rugs, has a meaning
that concerns your dollars. 1t has nothing to do
with the weavers, importers buyers, or your
cleanliness or morals. Any rug, to be pure, must
haveits yarn prepared of the well-seected wool of
the young sheep, goat, or camel, as it may be,
with no cheap constituents such as hemp, jutte,
hair, &C., mixed in, to lower the cost Pure yarn,
when dyed In wellcooked vegetable dyes, and
then woven into rug, is what your dollars ought
to buy for, after all, it is the material that wears
and not the numbers Of stitches. Mixed yarn
dyed IN the aniine dyes, no matter how finely
woven, soon begins to shed until the hemp, jutte,
and hair are all lint and the rug has that bald
headed look

Greater Navy Forces

Washington. October s.Frends of a
big navy programme in the administra-

pect of three batteships being proposed
in the new naval appropriation bill as an
administration policy.
Semi official announcement that such a
building programme might have the sup
port of the White House to put the
United States back In the place it occu-

A democratic house in the last Con-
gress reduced the current appropriation
to provide for one ship only the
ground of economy. The understanding
among those close to administration
leaders was that adequate navy pol
icy as endorsed by President Wilson
would provide for two battleships each
year hereafter and less expenditures for
the navy ashore and on smaller craft.
