PAGE SIX WiKSOF UM OH / One Cay pet Mill Uses the Wool From 3C,C00 Sheep Every Working; Day The wool used daily in t'.? wear ing or carpets and rugs by a New ..York manufacturer is equal to th' shearing from thirty thou, and she; p. The soft, rich coats of these ani mals are turned into the looms at the rate of 120,000 pounds every day. These and many other interesting facts were revealed recently tltroug'h ,the publication of statistics con corning their mammoth mills at Yonkers, N. Y., by Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet Company. If all the wool used in these mills . were reckoned according to the number of animals from which it is sheared, a year’s output at the mil’s would represent the clip from 9,- 000,000 sheep —a number which would constitute herds beyond the imagination. For the manufacturing of all this wool into American-made carpets and rugs, the energy and industry of 7,600 employees is devoted with a spirit of co-operation and crafts-1 manship resembling the loyalty giv-i en to his individual loom by the smaller weaver of bygone days. This army of workers operates 1,- 500 looms, With a total daily pro duction of 90,000 yards of carpets and rugs. Place one day’s tremen dous output in a continuous line and it would make a strfp of carpet 53 miles long. In one year of eight hour working days, the 1,500 loons turn out 28 millions of yards, mat ing an annual production of almos: •16,000 miles, enough to teach more than half way around the world ” Every hour this mill produces 11. 250 yards, or 187 and one half yards * per minute! The amount of me -7 ‘chanical energy entering the work may be pictured from the fact that 7- > the company uses 225 tons of coal every day. And all this activity '■ takes place in mills which occupv ~ t 52 and one half acres of floor space ample area to accommodate the parking of about 40,000 motor j ’ cars! It is interesting to note that the r founder of these giant mills was „ also the inventor of the famous Ax -7 minster loom. The institution whic:; has carried on since 1860 has special -> ized, it is said, in the' of j, four basic weaves known as ( „ Ax- L minsters, Velvets. Tapestry,, orus 'sels and Wilton Velvets.

Fur by druggisUeverywhere, r * THE aXrICUS TIMES-RECORDER ’ IJILIMILBiifttSi HAS iniD OUT® Being Whispered “Inside” That President Blames Secretary for Not Stopping Talk BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 23—The I semi-official story is that Secretary | of tfie Navy Vviluur was called packj from his Pacific coast vacation to I stop nstval officers’ complaints of the predicted ruin of the navy, duel to cuts by the budget bureau in their estimate of the, money need ed to keep it going during the coming fiscal year. On the “inside” it's whispered that President Coolidge blames Wil bur himself for not stopping t his kind of talk sooner. They say the president called him on.the carpet on account of it. It must have been a strong call too, for the secretary came a run ning. Wilbur didn’t out-and-out criti ■ t'". If -t cuts. But he did I ine-.e . ■ mu- speeches emphasizing i the country's need for a strong , e:.v\. Ano he did it just at a nio ini 'ie wl.cii his subordinates were i J .- plenty of critizing. The in:- ; prt ssio nit gave was that he sym pathized with them. ♦ » ♦ If tthere's one thing, more than any other, that the president counts on to help him at the coming ela tion, it’s his reputation as a money saver. The but’ et cuts, coming just now. if given iiie right kind of publicity, ought to strengthen him immensely, his campaign managers ihink. But ' it isn’t the right kind of publicity I to have them-held up to the people as ruinouus to such things as the navy. All the more irritating, this isn’t being done by the presdent’s po litical opponents. The talk conus out of a department which an ap pointee of his own is head of and is supposed to be able to manage. He hasn’t done it, so far as all this navy budget gossip is concern ed, and there’s good reason to be lieve reports that he let himself in for a severe reprimand. • » c Even though the fmesident is an gry enough, .maybe, to let his secre tary out of the cabinet, naturally he I 1 WHITINGI- COOK STATIONERY Style and Quality.

He came to New York, smiled at the cameraman’s birdie and had his picture took, new nose and everything. i won’t do it at present. It wouldn’t look well in cam paign time. In fact ,it never looks well. It's all right for a cabinet member to resign on account of ill health, be cause he has personal interests' which demand his attention, to ac cept another appointment, as to the Supreme Court, or to run for the Senate, fqr instance. But a cabinet dismissal, or what amounts to one, 666 is a prescription for Malaria, Chills and Fever, Dengue or Bil -1 ious Fever. It kills the geirms. TUESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 23, 1924 is no favorable advertisement fori any administration. But a president who is re-elegted may reorganize his cabinet without m the least embarrassing himself politically. And that, politicians are betting, is what Coolidge will dq. and do drastically, if he gets in again. * » * The presindent, aS all know, took over the official family Harding left to him. He couldn’t verv well make changes in it and carry out his an nounced intention of continuing his predecessor’s good policies, which it seemed to be good politics for him to profess to stick to. However, it’s no secret that Cool idge has ideas quite different form Harding’s. That was proved con clusively by the thoroughness wita which the Republicans’ old mana ging group was cleaned out, direct ly after Coolidge’s nomination at Cleveland, in favor of the present new managing group.
