the first winter of peace than in
any winter of war.
The war continued too far into
the spring for Europe to feed her
self through the coming winter
from her own crops and produce.
There is yet time for some
planting which will help to meet
the needs. 1t is being done and
desperately with men and women
dragging the plows.
But with farmlands still deadly
with mines, with power driven
equipment gone and horses vir-
tually vanished and with eight to
ten million displaced Europeans
still in Germany alone the yield
will be too small.

You may buy up TO 100000
worth of F and/o G bonds in
a single year. And the Cs have
proved the most popular.
The G bond provides regular
income because interest is paid
semi.annuslly.
One feature which makes the G.
bond outstanding for business
men is the fact that in the event
of death the bond is redeemed
at 100 cents on the dollar, plus
accrued interest in cash. The
interest rate i'm this event, incl.
dentslly, in the early years is
the highest of any of the cur.

phor powder or a good artificial

is suggested for those who plan to

for the summer. In the summer

a special preventative preparation
on your scatter rugs and then you
NAV rest assured that damp floors
and other places that are conducive
to moulding won't get to first base.
Every rug. except small scatter
rugs, ought to have an underback-
ing. This padding will prolong the
life of the rug and will tend to
cushion it. While we are discussing
the backs of rugs we might add that
there is a special nonskid backing
available in local stores for small
rugs that are placed on wood or
linoleum floors.
For those planning to purchase
a rug or a carpet always keep in
mind that they will fade and soil
eventually. Buy your rug or carpet

originally planned. Rugs and car

It's not just the tastefully ar
ranged furniture and handsome
draperies that make" a room; the
floor covering also is vitality impor-
tant. For the ediflcation of new
readers and as a "refresher" for
the many others, this article will
deal with some of the questions, an
swers and hints that have come in
of late with respect to rug and car
pet problems.
QUESTION: From Mrs. H. c. B
What do people mean when they
say an Administer rug?"
Answer-Axminster rugs have be-
come quite popular during the last
few years. They have advanced in
styling, coloring and construction,
and are made in various price ranges
and in all sizes from 27-inch carpet
ing to 18-foot broadloom. They give
long service and there are unlimited
color possibilities. Administer is
produced in greater yardage than
any other woven floor covering. You
can distinguish Administer very
easily from any other weave be-
cause it can be rolled lengthwise,
but not crosswise, due to its stiff jute
construction. In the Administer the
wool tufts are inserted mechanically
in rows and bound down in the
weft, not knotted. Each tuft shows
on the surface and forms part OF
the design.
QUESTION: From Mrs. j. N. j
whats the difference between a
rug and a carpet?"
Evening star., 1945-07-20
By EIeni Sakes

AnSWer-There is a technical
difference between rug and carpet.
A rug is complete unit. Standard
rug sizes range from IL feet by 5
feet to "a feet by Sc feet. The edges
of a rug are bound on all four sides.
In carpet the design is an allover
pattern, comparable to that of yard
goods, or wallpaper. Carpeting
comes in rolls ranging from 221s
inches, 81 inches popular sizes for
hall and stairs to Is feet in width.
RUG AND CARPET HINTS:
For Mrs. w. N. In the spring
and in the warmer weather spe-
cial attention should be given to
rugs and carpets to prevent the
dreaded moth from running them.
Moths particularly care for the dark
corners, but often will lay their eggs
in any part of a rug or carpet.
They especially like the spots that
are not used too much. Spraying
with good moth preventive is
recommended at regular intervals
during the warm weather. Airing
and summing rugs and carpets are
also effective combat materials
against moths. If you intend to
put your rugs away for the sum-
mer first have them cleaned apd
then pack them in camphor before
storing them. Where carpets cover
the room entirely. or If your rugs are
not very soiled, give them a thor
ough vacuum cleaning and leave
them on the floor. Then cover
