Is your carpet alive and
breathing? Have you taken its
pulse lately? More than your
other furnishings, carpet leads
a 'life" of its own, reacting in
life-1ike fashion to the treatment
it receives.
Carpet of wool or cotton fbers
actually has tiny pores through
which it breathes. But whether
rugs and carpets are woven of
natural or MANN ade fibeHs,
they cannot present happy face
to the world when c1ogged with
dirt and soil.
Servic eMas ter, the nations
largest home care company, re-
ports that carpet talks" about
its various stages Of well-being
in several ways. For example:

warm glow of ele-
gance. The secret
of this bright look
IS a routine e of

Injured Look-This is the re-
suit of spots and spills that have
been allowed to settle in and mar
the carpet surface. Fast first-aid,
using kit with a complete set of
remedies, is the best precaution.
according to ServiceMaster.
That Depressed State-Constant
traffic and use can fatten the f.
bers of your carpet until it looks
and probably feels downtrodden.
A damp cleaning using a magic
carpet brush every six months
or so will pep up its spirits.

happy creases that appear on the
carpets countenance masG cer-

A Suffering Expression-n your
carpet has lost its bounce, per-
haps it is feeling neglected. In
stead of fretting over it, advises
ServiceMaster, take its pulse
examine the fibers with a fash
light. If soil has penetrated more
than one-third down, your carpet
is asking for professional care.

CostIy-but Necessary

financing of the costly plan for ridding
the Potomac River Of recurrent raw
sewage pollution. We are glad to learn.
however, that they agree that the prob
cable, however great the cost. Remain
ing to be decided, of course, is the
extent to which Federal funds should be
invested.
Secretary Flemming of the Depart
ment of Health, Education and Welfare
has informed House Rivers and Har-
bors subcommittee that the adminis-
tration strongly favors" the purpose
of pending legislation to eliminate the
combined storm sanitary sewer system
in WashingtonS older sections. This
outmoded system brings an overflow Of
raw sewage into the river every time
there is heavy rain. The contamina-
ton comes from many sewer outlets
along Washington'S waterfront. A start
already has been made on setting up
separate storm and sanitary systems as
part of the Southwest redevelopment
program.
Bills before the House subcommit-
tee call for Federal grant of $75 mil
lion to complete the big job by 1865. The
Budget Bureau has baked at putting
the burden Of cost on the Federal Gov
ernment. There has been talk of "rea-
sonable" Federal grant, plus a loan to
the District to be repaid out of sewer
assessments. District officials have said
that even if all available District re-
sources for the project are counted,
there will still be deficit of about $27
million to be met. It is possible that
nearby Maryland and Virginia commu-
mites might contribute to the program,
since they will receive benefits from the
river cleanup. In any event, substantial
Federal aid, through either grant or
loan, will be essential. And, as major
beneficiary of the program, the Federal
Government ought to contribute its fair
share toward an undertaking so vital to
the health and welfare of the Nations
Capital

Silver Lininq

Smog, it seems, can be good for you.
At any rate, two medical researchers in
Los Angeles have experimental with it
and produced evidence that it greatly
debilitates viruSes that like to infect
humanity with influenza. Thus, by
Subjecting these strange creatures to
whiffS of municipal atmosphere full of
such poisons as industrial smoke and the
exhaust fumes of automotive traffic, the
researchers-witht the help of a lot of
laboratory mice, of course-have dem
onstrated, quite dramatically and some
what convincingly, that every cloud has
a silver lining. This is a reassuring
thing to know in an age of too much
doubt and too many respiratory all
mentS.
