To Prevent Rugs slipping.

There are many devices to prevent
rugs from slipping on highly-polished
floors. One Of the best and also the
cheapest is to cut pieces of rough
sheathlng paper the exact size of the
rugs and lay IT under them. They win
not move them. Another way Is to
sew triangles of corrugated rubber
sheeting to the corners of the rugs.

FLAG May
BE IDENTICAL
WITH BELGIAN
INTENSE INDIGNATION Is MAN.
TESTED, AND SOCIETIES ARE
FORMING TO PREVENT THE
ACTION.

Brussels, Aug. 5.-Belgian patriotic
societies are forming to take action to
prevent the German republic from
adopting the Belgian national colors
black. yellow and red-for it's flag
Intense indignation is manifested, and
this is bit heightened by the plea
that the colors in the new German
emblem will be disposed of horizontal
ly instead OF vertically.
1t is generally supposed that the
Belgian colors of today were chosen
by the patriots of 1880. but the revo-
lutionists OF that year merely took
for themselves the black. yellow and
red which had been legendary In
Flanders and the Brahant since the
middle ages.
their arms a black lion on a field OF
gold. and those of Brabant golden
lion on a field OF black. The trappings
Of both were red. From the thirteen IN
century, therefore. the Belgian colors
have been black, yellow and red.
An argument against the use of the
COIOTS by the N16Tu1dHS Is tndl the BEL
gians have actually employed the
black, yellow and red horizontally In
their Fundamentally in their mer-
camille flags-so they consider they
still have a priority on that DISPOSE
ton of the colors as the vertical use.
The horizontal bars were adopted by
the patriots who overthrow the Aus
TRANS In 1889. In 1880. the first flag
to fly from the Hotel de Vile In
brussels was the Northumberland
black. yellow and red.
The Belgians scorn the Piled Of the
Germans that they have the right TO
MSS, the coiof1 H1EAuse OF their use by
the ancient Germanic empire. Of which
Austria was the center. They assert
that the confusion resulting from the
employment by Germany as well as
Belgium Of the black. yellow and red
would be embarrassing to the nation
which had fought four years to keep
its colors unsullied.

FOOD RIOTS IN
ITALY MAY End
IN VAR CONTROL

London. Aug. 1.-THE food riots in
Italy and agitations elsewhere on the
continent are focusing attention on
the continued Increase In the prices
of food and clothing in this country.
Public feeling, judged by protesting
letters to the press and the talk one
hears in restaurants and private
houses. is mounting to the point Ut
extreme indignation.
Newspapers are devottng much
space to this subject and warning the
government that unless 1t takes action
to curb profiteering, trouble may be
expected this winter. The government
recent announcement that It's present
modified food control would be con-
tinued at least through the winter
does not appear to have appeased the
for a return to the strict wartime reg
ulations.
There Is great discomfort among
small householders. One writes to a
London paper complaining OF high
prices demanded for eggs. milk and
fruit and declaring: Those who buy
their .get-rich-quick' craze, and their
public is something gross"
The same writer, discussing the
"extortion on clothing" quotes the an
nouncement made in the house of
commons the other day that the high
price of wcolen garments is not due
to short supplies or government
charges, and that the stocks of wool
in this country are the greatest ever
known.
IF that is so.' the writer comments,
why are all wooden goods famine
prices. and why does a mans suit of
clothes cost anything from eight to
eighteen guineas ($40 to 500? Why
Is the profiteering allowed?''
The ministry of munitions officials
who made the announcement regard
ing wool, said the bulk of RESPONSE
bility for the high prices of wooden
goods lay between the man who
makes the cloth and the dealer. He
said the government was considering
action to prevent profiteering."
