ures and tan and blue border attest the ingenuity of our manufa cturers.
 An allover Persian rug with tan ground with tan, blue and rose de- sign bordered with rose, green and blue, needs close inspection for one to realize that 1t did not come from the Orient.
 To meet the demand for Adams de- signs in furnishing, rug has been es- pecially produced with a solid cen ter and an Adam design border.
 Reversible rugs from Japan are probably the heaviest quality of grass rugs ever shown. Both sides are stem ciled with figures in a characteristi- cally Japanese fashion. Novelty is added to the appearance by the par tially round corners.
 Grandmother's "Turkey-mat," or the round and oval rag rugs are pleasant "reminiscences of bygone days.
 Chintz rugs of plain colors with floral borders may be just what you are looking for for the nursery or bed room. The oilcloth rug, woven of strips of oilcloth like rag rugs, most likely will find its way to the kitchen or bathroom without much delay.
 Washable bathroom rugs in the nat ural color of the wool with one7inch borders, are not much more expensivei than the cotton rugs and will be foun ! to he wise choice. "
Arizona republican., 1916-10-04

A good Oriental may be called the most economical of luxuries and is a constant source of pleasure. The worlds finest rugs for centuries have come from Persia, for the best wool for that purpose grows there. The designs in Persian rug usually have conventionalized flowers or trees. A Turkish rug is distinguished by its geometric designs.
 Chinese rugs are of a distinct char acter; with few exceptions the designs are of Chinese origin. The same which may be found also in Chinese silks, porcelains, and other art works. These rugs have peculiarly silk lus- ter and by comparison are high pile. Chinese rugs are distinguished just as much by their omission of rich reds as the Bokara rugs possess them.
 Rugs should not be purchased only for their individual beauty, but also for their adaptability to their future placement so that they will unite with the walls and blend in with the color scheme so that there will be a common unit with the rest of the room.
 The best rug for use is "one that Is keyed by one color, while all the others subordinate themselves to this one color"
 Rugs are to the floor what greer moss or grass is to the earth. and ir the same way make the path mora

comfortable under foot. Small all- over designs and two-toned patterns are always a safe purchase. Often a rug lays in the wrong light and If 1t IS turned around will show to better advantage.
 Entire floor carpet-yes, and those even tackled down-are used nowa- days, even the floral patterns dis carded long ago, are again revived. Soft putties greys, blues, and null berry, to say nothing of black, may now be had in nearly all the domestic rugs.
 The excellence of domestic rugs is nowhere better portrayed than in the Wilton rugs, which are surely speci- mems of real worth and sound merit The Oriental or Chinese designs, or solid colors are shown in such va riety in all shades to tone with all color schemes, that choosing one is really pleasurable task. Seamless Chenille rugs come in all sizes, or may be made to order in any size and any tone.

By Adele Mendel

Students of Mexican antiquities lgree that the art of weaving rugs IS older than the Egyptian civilization. There is mention in history of a small rug 1lxo inches which was discov- cred in Thebes dating from 666 to S58 B. C. Pliny tells of rug exhib- tied at the banquet of Ptolemy Phila- delphus which cost what would equal Sl50,0OO today, and the rug which Cleopatra enveloped her form with when she visited Caesar cost no small sum.
 When one considers that fine Per sian prayer rug contains sometimes 1000 knots or more to the square foot, and that the weavers are so poorly paid that the cheapest laborer of our nation would not even be satisfied, you must marvel at the patience with which their souls are possessed. An expert weaver can always find a hus- band. Up to her tenth marriage there is always an advancing scale which the husband pays for her, as her skill as weaveress and of housewife i0 supposed to increase with her growth of years.
 An Oriental carpet today is worth three times as much as 1t was five years ago. There is tremendous vogue for Chinese carpets.

of the eXOrbitant earnings from

that went to Massachusetts should
be" income taxpayers; but they get
it by bringing pressure on the very
rich and making them disgOrge,
while the more numerous class with

Why was this great difference be-

The mystery is solved when we
find that Maine, Vermont and New
Hampshire are al! in one district,
under the charge of a collector who
instituted a vigorous campaign to
stop taxdodging, and did not permit
his attention to be diverted from the
little fellows while he was making
the big fellows come across. This,
was the only district which showed
an increase of more than 10 per cent
IN the number OF taxpayers.
Now let us move farther west and
compare the adjoining states of Min
nesOta and Wisconsin. Minnesota
showed a decrease OF SO per cent in
the number of taxpayers reporting
less than $4,000, while Wisconsin
showed a gain of 4 per cent.
Or compare Virginia, with a de-
crease Of q per cent, and Tennessee,
with an increase of 8 per cent.
The point of these comparisons is
that in adjoining states, where there
can be no great difference of pros
perity, there are great differences in
the returns, so great that they can
be accounted for only on the as
sumption of widespread taxdodging.

In some cases the number of tax
payers reporting incomes less than

It is the few exceptional states
