CERTAIN SIZE
COAL ONLY FOR
Use IN HOMES
Commission Not to Permit
Domestic Grades for
Business Places
HOPE FOR ADEQUATE
SUPPLY NEXT MONTH

with a view OF conserving the
stocks Of egg, stove. chestnut and
pea coal now on hand in the yards
Of the local dealers, the Delaware
Coal Commission announced today
Il has restricted the use OF these
sizes for domestic purposes only.
Until further notice. therefore. no
deliveries Of egg. stove. chestnut or
pea coal will be permitted TO stores,
garages, Office buildings. etc.
The growing scarcity OF anthra-
cite coal is due 10 the fact that
heavy shipments are now being
made TO the lakes and other sec
tions of the country dependent on
water transportation, in order TO
provide the tonnage required before
the close OF navigation. which nor
mally takes plac, from November 25
20 December !. IL is expected that
after this date there will be a re-
sulting increase in shipments to this
territory, but in the meantime every
effort must be made 10 distribute
the available stocks to the greatest
mum ber.
During the existing shortage the
Commission urges the necessity OF
IN increased use OF bBuminous or
buckwheat coal for steam purposes.
and that all domestic consumers
who are obliged 70 get coal at this
time he willing to take any size OF
coal the dealer may be able TO fur
nish, as It will he impossible dur
ing the present emergency to sup
ply the demands for stove and chest
nut Goals alone. Househnlders~ ac-
customed TO use these two sizes may
when necessary substitute egg and
pea coal with satisfactory results.

ASIA MINORS RUG INDUSTRY.
No Longer Possible to Find Antique
Ones There. Says, Dr. Blaciler.

w. Il. Griffith Blackler, who has Just
arrived in this country from Boudjah.
Smyrna, declared that 1t Is no longer
possible to find antique rugs in that
country. Mr.. BIackler has spent sew
eral years in the Near East, and consid-
ers the present conditions there some
what depressing.
The rug business in Asia Minor has
had a tremendous setback, said Mr..
Blackler. "Many of the districts which
were rug weaving districts before the
war are either in no mans land or be
hind the Turkish lines. and in them we
are no longer able to exercise any control
over the manufacture of rugs. even if
the work has not entirely stopped.
ANY one who thinks he is buying an
antique rug in the Near East is badly
fooled. There are almost no rugs in
Smyrna that are more than 20 years old
at the most. OF course. this fact is very
cleverly disguised for the edifcation Of
the uninitiated. The rugs are washed,
the colors toned down AID a very hand
some. soft cOlored. ancient looking fabric
Is produced. 1t looks very well but it Is
only Il camouhage.
People are simply sentimental about
an antique rug. The modern rugs are
quite as handsome and are far more
practical. because they can be made to
exact measurements. Under normal
conditions in Asia Minor the rugs are
woven TO our patterns and sizes. while
Persian rugs. which are in such favor.
must be bought in certain stock sizes and
cannot be made in any special weave.
The finest weaves are not being made
now. owing to the fact that the weavers
have been driven out of the country or
drafted into service. The best weavers
are the Armenians
Although one hears so much about
Turkish rugs, next to the Armenians.
the Greeks do the finest work, and the
Turkish weavers are the poorest work
ers that we have and only operate on the
coarsest weaves. 1t was the Armen-
ians who did the exquisite work with l.
threads each way to the inch, which
cbaracterizes the finest rugs
Most of the rugs are woven by young
girls who are specially trained for their
work. They become weavers sometimes
MS young as eight years, and weave until
they marry. Although marriages i'm the
Near East are early. they often work
until they are IS or 20. This is in con
trast to India, where the rug weaving is
almost entirely done by boys"

Owing to an error in compiling the
copy for the vegetable department, Il
part of the premiums offered on squashes.
turnips and tomatoes Is missing from the
premium list. Prospective exhibitors
can make out their entries for these veg
etables just the same. and they will be
awarded prizes in accord with their
winnings. The same prizes viii be paid
on these vegetables as last year.
1t is hoped all exhibitors will make
out their entries and send TO the secre-
tary or superintendent early. 50 that
places can be assigned, cards made out,
and the judges set to work early. This
does not mean If one cannot do this that
he cannot bring his exhibits, but it will
help lessen the work Of the people who
have the hard work to do. and it also
gives the fair a good reputation by max
ing everything run smoothly.
Superintendents of departments must
make this a three-day fair by insisting
that the exhibits be brought early and
put in place Monday, the 25th. The
entry books are all written and prepared,
aud everything made as labor-saving as
