remote and mysterious Khanates of the wind

They bear famous names, which in them
selves vouch for their qualities: Mahal, Saruk,
Herati, Kermanshah, Keashan, Bokhara, Say

There is more than one antique rug among
them. When we say this of any rug, we do not
mean that we think it is, or hope it may be- or
wish it were antique, but that we KNOW it IS
strictly and unequivocally ANTIQUE.
For instance, there's wonderful little
Tike Bokhara (sze about 3x6 feet) that we
know is at least 200 years DID, and it may be
much older. Another genuine antique is
Senna Kurd, size 6X11 feet priced S1750
This Rug Sale is an occasion which brings
together the mystical Oriental and the matter
of-fact American on one common ground: an
appreciation Of beauty as expressed IN the
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-09-17

One OF these young business women just
bought little Chinese rug today forher room,
with the remark, 1--WE often owned S25, bat
never thought to own an Oriental rug"
She will again be the owner Of $25 many
times over, we trust but it is not likely that she
will ever again purchase true Oriental rug at
such a price.
In our judgment, one American woman,
working to maintain herself or help her family,
is worth garden full of Hours, and certainly
she is worth an Oriental rug.
Some one who cares for her can find it here
today, at less cost than he supposed possible.
And what a royal Christmas gift or wedding
gift fine rug does make!
Of course, when the Sale ends and the rugs
are scattered among thousands of appreciative
homes the prices their lucky owners paid will
become as legendary as the Hours themselves.
Rugs of this kind cannot be made in this
country We lack the wonderful vegetable
dyes, the clear, brilliant atmosphere which as
ssts their action, and we lack thn endless pains
taking of the Eastern craftsman.
The rug that "a millionaire can buy in
minute sometimes consumes twelve even
eighteen years of the patient life of an Oriental
weaver. Working literally under his own vine
and igtree," at his (or herr crude loom, in his
simple home, and with the conception of per-
lection in accomplishment in his mind, he will
tie about three knots tea minute-and tie for
all time to come. y
And there are 300 to $50 knots to square
inch in one of these rugs.
That the Sale includes so many rugs which
can be bought in minute without ones being
millionaire is unquestionaby its most
interesting feature.

Prices Possible Even

Prices are phenomenal for these times In
many cases they are the same as they were be-
fore the war Though they be fine and famous

rugs which, to speak with the glowing Eastern
imagery, seem fit for the feet of Houris-
they're not all so costly but what the feet of an

The GlOries of Persian
Textile Art

are represented in rugs of all sizes. and of in
Vulnerable patterns, from quaint. archaic fig
ures of heroes, horses and maidens, to the
endless combinations of ornament and concep-
ton and coloring that the subtle Eastern fancy
alone can contrive:
Rugs splendid in somberness rugs in
gorgeous colorings, "shot through with thou
sand hues, with here and there a rug whose
creamy background is picked out in Jewell
like designs in the dantiest, most exquisite
colorings
The Sale, however, is distinguished not
only for its large and fine collection of genuine
pastoral Persian rugs but for it's remarkable
assemblage of rugs of Chinese weave.
These are gathered by themselves in an i'm
posing series of groups on one side of the West
Aisle, which is so brilliantly agow with the gold
and the tans andthe blues peculiarly associated
with Chinese art and decoration that it's not
possible for the most hurried of visitors to pass
that way without a halt and an instructive
salute to beauty.
1t would seem quite incredible that in all
the camps of all the Eastern princelings who
captained the hosts of King Darius there could
have been one-hundredth the number of rugs
as we have here!
Thus the Wanamaker purchaser has really
a wider selection than was at the service of
Alexander, the owner Of the then known world
(who possibly, in weeping for more worlds to
conquer, was weeping for more rugs)!
A wider choice too than had Cleopatra
for the furnishing of all her palaces; and for
aught anybody knows, even handsomer rugs to
choose from.
One important thing is certain; with the
exception of rarities and antiques (and even
these bear prices which connoisseurs recognize
as moderate, in consideration Of their values)
it may be said of the Sale that it contains hun
dreds of rugs at

FAIRBANKSAN PLEASED WITH CONDITIONS AT
 THE KENNECOTT MINE

Among the many Fairbanksans re- gently arriving home over the trail was George M. Mattinson, who left here late last fall in company with several other oldtimers to accept the tempting offer of high wages and other Inducements offered by the Ken necott company to experienced min- CTS. Since leaving here Mattinson has been employed steadily by the com pany.
 Contrary to the general belief in the interior that the big copper company has dearth of miners since the war ceased, the company is hiring all the men they can get, being at the time that MT. Mattinson left there about 100 men short of running their full crews.
 Mattinson states that many Fair banksans were employed at the mines last winter among whom was Martin Harrais, who was shift boss over some of the mine levels. Al McDan- iels, who also left here last fall for the Kennecott, is coming to Fairbanks on the next stage. Chriss Keene is still in the employ of the coast mining company Oscar Kavanaugh, an old timer of Ester creek, went outside. Andy (Shorty) Sorby, who formerly worked on the WhitePass dock here, is reported as being at the present time at Chitina and will be employed with the road crew of the Alaska Road Commission this year, working as far north as Richardson.
 Mr. Mattinson, who has mining in- terests on Fish creek, where he worked last summer, stated that while he was satisfien with conditions at Kenne- colt he is glad to be back home and again meet his old acquaintances.- Fairbanks Citizen.

GERMAN LAB0RERS ARE
 ANXIOUS TO COME HERE

COBLENZ, April 25 (by Associated Press). - Statements published re- ccntly in newspapers in unoccupied Germany that German laborers were being sought for employment in the United States caused such a rush of civilians to Third Army headquarters in Coblenz that American officers caused to be published denials of the truth of these stories. Many men and quite a few women and girls, having heard of the newspapers articles from the other side of the neutral zone, came to Coblenz from towns and dis tricts as far as fifty miles away.
