able. with the result that a customer is
dissatisfied and invariably enters a COM
plant. The plain carpets show every
bit of dust or footprint. which Is not
the case with figured coverings.
The scarcity of Oriental rugs, too. is
big factor in the preference for car
pets to-day. Many old time rug weavers
were killed during the war and their
families have disintegrated. Thus only
few specimens are coming into the
country. Large stores of rare Oriental
rugs are being held in Soviet Russia. It
is said, but no one knows where they
are or when they will be released. AS
a result of that scarcity there IL an
increasing interest in Administer and
Wilton rugs made up In Oriental de-

Chinese patterns are popular and one
new design shows the familiar willow
pattern plate conventionalized on n
gold lacquer background. A feature OF
the carpet situation that will cast n
gloom over prospective buyers this fall
is that. although prices to-day for that
commodity are within 20 per cent. of
normal, they are going up again owing
TO the cost OF cotton and wool.

IN A Far Rockaway train of the
Long Island Railroad group OF
commuters were discussing re-
Gently the home building movement
in the seashore towns of Long Island
during tho last decade. One we'll
informed commuter who talked as
though he might have a professional in
terest In the subject reviewed the de-
velopment of the towns on the Rockaway
division. including Hewlett. Woodmere.
Cedarhurst, Lawrence. Far Rockaway,
Edgemere and Arverne, and in every
case stressed the part played by a
builder or developer.
While the man was reviewing the
changes that had taken place in these
towns an elderly man, who had been sit
ting In another part OF the car. moved
forward and listened attentively. Every
once in while he would eye the speaker
sharply, look around at the others and
thef smile and shake his head. Finally,
turning to his neighbor, he said with a
significant smile: II wonder what that
young fellow would tell his friends IL he
had seen the Rockaways grow up as !
have?" After a moments reflection he
continued: when / moved to Far
Rockaway. twenty-nine years ago, just
three houses had been built there-my
own and two others. occupied by friends.
In those days the Long Island Railroad
took greater interest in building up a
section than the developers themselves,
as several OF its lines were being oper
ated with losses. IL a man decided to
build house the railroad offered to
transport his lumber and other materials
free of charge and when the house was
completed the railroad ISSUED pass to
the home builders family for the first
ride to the town
"In my opinion" concluded the old
timer. looking straight at the man who
had stirred those memories, that early
policy of the Long Island was as impor-
tant a contributing factor in the up
building of the island as was the subse-
quent work of builders and developers"

CONFEREES PLAN
TO REACH BONUS
MEASURE TODAY
Whole of Yesterday Was
Put in on Tariff
Bill.

Unless the opposition of House
members of the joint Finance Com
mittee prevails. the bonus bill will
be taken up by the conferees today
in accordance with the wishes of
Chairman McCumber. At this rate.
the measure should be in President
Harding's hands by the end of the
week.
However. despite the holiday and
McCumber's efforts to. have the
bonus taken up first, the conferees
spent the whole day yesterday in
considering the Fordney-McCumbe
tariff measure.
With the resumption Of business
today, the Senate will continue de-
bate on the coal bills, and the House
may devote some time to discussion
OF the Huddleston multiplication
measure to be introduced today.
But the main concern of Congress
Is how soon the tariff and bonus
measures can be disposed of. to al
low adjournment.
A tacit agreement has been
reached, 1t was said, to eliminate the
McNary reclamation and land set
tlement option, so that the bill is
now less obnoxious politically" to
veto. The Simmons amendment TO
pay the bonus out of the interest
on the allied debt to America Is
believed acceptable to both House
and Senate conferees.

The American commission of

reason is simple-lack OF money
