Rug Styles Change With The .Centuries Style is just as important to rug manufacturing as it is to milady's clothing, and it has been for nearly 30,000 years. Archaeological evidence shows that rugs were used as long as 30,- 000years ago, in the Upper Paleon- tological Period. Of course, such rugs contained no wool, cotton or. Jute, to say nothing of nylon. They were made of bark felt. The oldest nig still on view was made between the third and fourth centuries, 13, C. It is made of black hair felt with a white border of one side and has appliqued split -stitch silhouettes of tits' heads, cut out ai red or .blue Tilt, in an evenly -spaced row, You cart see it any time you happen to be passing the chief museum in Leningrad and care to drop in. Unlike most feminine apparel, modern rug styles don't change with every spring, but over a longer period they show a trend of style as clear and definite as any skirt length graph would indicate. "Ingrain" was the carpet vogue of 38111 -- a thin, dark material usually woven in a narrow width With a small conventional design. To cover a large area, housewives had these narrow strips pieced together end the end result was an all too perfect (hist catcher. Ily 1900, nine feet looms came into use and a new size, 9 x 12, in oriental designs awept the market. But this combination of size and designers demanded wall-to-wall carpeting in neutral and solid colours. Simultaneously, rug con- cerns met the steed for seamless earpets by installing 12, 15, and 18 fent "broad looms," Today new "tone -in -torte" designs air popular, several shades of one Colour woven together to give an impressionof depth. A variety of textured weaves ie also used to re- lieve the flatness of plain carpets and conceal foot prints. Old patterns, too, have re -appear- ed such as coloured florals and bonespuns to give the modern rug a wide variety of brilliant colourings and eye -pleasing designs. Even a new trick or two have been placed on the .market. One company has— gives Its customers a special comb to comb out any pattern they Tltvh or its ruffled surface, House Plants Need Rest Period According to h n titatturd r apt , t, v,intr:r should be at ay a1011 5,1 5,-t for house plant,;.

The temperature of the none must of necessity be maintained at a point favouring the comfort of the human rather than the plant in- mates, It is a conservative state- ment that places. a winter dwelling house temperature at 70 degrees. This is much too high for a great many plants. It is a good growing temperature for warns - loving plants under conditions of spring daylight amid ample humidity. Itut the combined efforts of high tent, perature, comparative darkness and a dry atmosphere are not favourable to general plant health. Perhaps the reasonable attitude to take in this respect is to maintain a day temperature around ,0 de- grees with a drop to about 00 de- grees after retiring. To promote humidity, the usual evapor,disn pans on radiators and metal trays of gravel on window shelves to hold the plants will be helpful. Atomic Polka Dots It's amazing how idle chatter ran lead to fascinating discoveries. Take, for instance, the case of the Atomic Bomb and Polka - dot Dresses, writes Napier Moore. A neighbor of ours is an emnin- ent skin specialist. The other day, watching hint vigorously fork some elegant -looking manure into his vegetable garden, we commented on his energy. This led to a discus- sion of other forms of energy. Fin- ally we got to atomic energy. We said we supposed that by this time reports covering the effects on humans of the atonic bombs dropped on Japan had been cor- related, and that no doubt, profes- sionally, he had received mach in- formation. The doctor said he had. We asked if there was any crumb he could bestow upo.. us. "Well," he said casually, "there was the matter of the polka -not dresses." Our ryes popped at that. He went Olt to explain. Examination of victims of flash burns revealed. that the skins of women wearing 'ka-dot garments were narked according tb the pattern. That is, on the skin there were circles matching the white dots. And those circles were rot burned as were the areas covered by colored cloth. "That was interesting," said the doctor, "but, of course, fundamen- tally there was nothing new about it.

And All Of Them Useful Prevents Car Accidents. Many accidents, caused by fogging of car or truck windshields, might be pre- vented by the uss of a soft, absor- bent cloth treated with a special chemical solution. One wiping keeps the glass clear for hours. The solu- tion used in the cloth consists of a synthetic detergent, tannic acid, glycerine, water and dye. It is claimed that the cloth can be used indefinitely. Glass Heating Wall. .4 new type of radiant glass heat wall panel designed especially for the heating of single rooms is being introduced.
