So MILES
OF CARPET
Wool from 10000 Sheep Used Daily
By One Carpet Mill

The wool used daily in the weav-
ing OF carpets and rugs by New
York manufacturer is equal to the
shearing from thirty thousand sheep.
The soft, rich coats Of these animals
are turned into the looms at the rate
of 10000 pounds every day.
These and many other interesting
facts were revealed recently through
the publication of statistics concern
ing their mammoth mills at Yonkers,
N. Y, by Alexander Smith q Sons
Carpet Company said to be the larg-
est manufacturers of carpets and rugs
in the world.
If all the wool used in these mills
were reckoned according to number
of animals from which it is sheared
years output at the mills would
represent the clip from 100000 sheep
"a number which would constitute
herds beyond the imagination.
For the manufacturers of all this
wool into Americana made carpets and
rugs, the energy and industry of I,o00
employees is devoted with a spirit OF
cooperation and craftsmanship resem-
bling the loyalty given to his individual
loom by the smaller weaver of bygone
days.
This army of workers operates 1900
looms, with total daily production
of 10000 yards of carpets and rugs.
Place one days tremendous output i'll
a continuous line and it would make
strip of carpet So miles long In
one year of eight-hour working days,
the 1900 looms turn out % millions
of yards making an annual production
of almost 10000 miles, enough to reach
more than half way around the world
Every hour this mill produces 1880
yards, or 1917 yards per minute!
The amount of mechanical energy en-
tering the work may be pictured from
the fact that the company uses 225
tons of coal every day And all this
activity takes place in mills which
occupy 52H acres of floor space, ample
area to accommodate the parking of
about 10000 motor cars.
1t is interesting to note that the
founder of these giant mills was also
the inventor of the famous Administer
loom The institution which has car
ried on since 1860 has specialized, it
is said, in the making of four basic
weaves known as Administers Velvet,
Tapestry, Brussels and Wilton Velvets,

Search Your Attic
For Fortunes in Old
Confederate Envelope

Among the old letters of many Southern
families are hundreds of very rare stamps
and envelopes. Many have been found
and sold for small fortunes. Single en-
velopes have been sold for as high as
$4,000. Many have brought upwards of
$4,000 each. 1t sounds "fshy," but it's
true. They are valuable because they are
rare. They are rare, not because there are
only few, for there are many of them,
but simply because most of them are for
gotten, being stored away in old trunks
and closets.
Make a thorough search through your
attic for these old war letters. Fortunes
in rare stamps have been found in old
safes which no one ever dreamed con-
tanned anything of value. Many an old
trunk or chest contains letters that may
bring the finder profitable reward. Send
these to Mr.. Harold C. Brooks, Box 220,
Marshall, Michigan, and he will imme-
diately write you, stating whether they
are of value and, if so, will offer you full
value for them. He is private collector
! of rare stamps and envelopes and will pay
more for those he is seeking than dealer.
Besides the Confederate issues, certain
United States and foreign stamps are
wanted provided they are on the original
envelopes and mailed between l845 and
| 1870. Although the rare issues are espe-
| cially desired he also buys many of the
commoner kinds, and many people are in
this way getting Christmas money with
but very little trouble and no expense. 9
The Advertising Manager of this
paper has known of Mr.. Brooks
for many years and you may place fullest
confidence in his integrity. He will advise
| you frankly, offering what he regards the
envelopes as worth to him and in case the
envelopes are not satisfactory they will
be returned to the sender.
As so many stamps are similar in APP
pearance, Mr.. Brooks cannot quote values
from written descriptions, but must see
| the envelopes Furthermore, the condi.
ton of stamp or envelope has an impor-
tant bearing on its value. Confederate
money, old documents or coins he does
not collect.
If envelopes are sent in a bunch they
should be very carefully wrapped-f pos
sible between cardboard to protect them
from becoming wrinkled or creased. Do
rot cut the stamps from the envelopes.
but send the complete envelopes. Also
take care not to tear the stamps or put
pins through them. Such damage greatly
reduces the value of any stamp. If you
have reason to believe your envelopes
contain any of great value send them
by Registered Mail.
This notice will not be printed again.
so make a thorough search now before
the address is lost or forgotten. Tell
your friends or askpermission to look over
their old war letters. Many elderly people
have kept hundreds of such letters. Mr..
Brooks address is as follows:
HAROLD C. BROOKS,
Box go, Marshall, Michigan.

NEW FIRE HAZARD

sThere is nothing new under the
sun"
The fire presentionist must serious
1y question this saying, in view of
the many new fire hazards invented
and sold to an unsuspecting public.
The hazard of the electric pad used
sas a bed warmer is well recognized;
now comes it's twin brother, chemi-
cal bed warmer, which is being sold.
Last month a Wisconsin fire chief re-
ported a fire caused by one of these.
This device consists of a canvas
bag inside of rubberized bag. Fine
.Iy divided iron, ferric chloride and
ammonium chloride are placed in the
inside bag. When it is desired to
produce heat, about two tablespoons
full of water are poured on these IN
gradients. The iron and chemicals
will do the rest. A chemical reaction
takes place between the iron and fer
ric chloride when wet, and heat is
produced and liberated. In time the
temperature rises high enough to ig-
mite ordinary combustible materials,
such as bedding or clothing.
In the recent case reported, the in
side or canvas bag was removed from
the rubberized cover and thrown on
zEhe floor in contact with clothing,
which was ignited and in turn set
fire to the home.
The fire chief reporting this case,
aater conducted some experiments
with this device. Ninety minutes aft
er applying water to the iron and
chemical contents he removed the
canvas bag and placed it in contact
with cotton. In about fifteen minutes
the cotton was ignited.
The outer covering adds but little
protection, and we can only view this
latest bed warming device as seri-
our fire hazard and a dangerous sub
stitute for the time-honored hot wat
er bottle.

FACTS CONCERNING MOTOR
VEHICLE REGISTRATION

The new motor vehicle registration
law which went into effect this year
is so complicated in many respects
that it has caused and still is causing
much confusion and trouble to both
the owners of vehicles and the State
Department. Under the old law, the
fee for a pleasure car was $1,000 and
for a truck it was graduated, accord
ing OF weight, from $1,000 to $500.
Under the present law, the fees for
pleasure cars are graduated from $40
to $26, while the fees for trucks and
buses range all the way from $40 to
$3.50.
Notwithstanding this apparent in
crease in the amount of individual
fees, the income is much less than
the causual reader would expect.
Owing to that provision of the law
which allows a discount of 25%o on
pleasure cars not less than five years
old, the average fee for all classes OF
pleasure cars is only $11.86.
The total number of pleasure cars
registered to date is 100000, and the
number of trucks is over 10000. The
total fees received up to the close OF
business on May %, was little over
six million dollars. This is nearly
one and a half million dollars more
than was received in 1923.
The cost of administering the law
during the past five years was 1870
although the actual work of admins
tering the law is several times what
it was formerly under the old law,
when comparatively little bookkeep-
ing was required.
The principal criticism that comes
to the department is to the effect
that a nominal registration fee, to-
gether with tax on gasoline, would
yield a greater income to the state at
a smaller expense, practically do
away with the inconvenience and de-
lays which this complicated law has
caused, and Distribute the cost more
In proportion to the mileage travel

able tourists to contribute their share
to our highway fund.

275 OFF TONIGHT
 TO GROTTO MEET
Fifteeen Special Coaches To Carry Delegates
 To Indianapolis

r. A delegation of 275 officers and mem bers of Kamran Grotto, Mystic Order of the Yelled Prophets, will leave the Louisville and Nashville station Satur- day night at 10 o'clock for Indianapolis, Ind, to attend the annual meeting of the supreme council of Grottos, which convenes there June g and continues three days.
 The delegation will include the off cers of Kamram, it's uniformed bodies, chairman of committees and members of the rank and file. Fro mthe fact that Kamam is the second largest Grot- to in the world, it has been assigned prominent place in the program of the three days session, and, it is said, will put Birmingham on the map.
 F. B. Keiser, chairman of the trans portation committee, states that all res ervations for the special train of 16 coaches have been taken. He states that the train will start promptly, and urged all the members of the uniformed bodies to be at the depot at least one hour before leaving time in order to secure their transportation tickets.
 Monarch J. l.. Hagy also urges the delegation to be on hand promptly, and states that the band will give concert at the depot, while the transportation is being arranged. The delegation will return Thursday morning, June 26.
