“REAL" URGES NECESSTY OFLANDIG FELDS Will Determine Supremacy of . Cities, Speaker Says, at ® Convention. DETROIT, June 27.—The city which has not arranged for a_suffi- cient nymber of proper landing felds is going to lose out in the race for Industrial supremacy, was the proph- ecy made by Walter S. Darden, Detroft, when he addressed the in: dustrial property division of the Na- tional Association of Real Estate Boards in convention here. In the very near future, the speaker told his audience, commercial aviation is going to be on a par with waterways and steam. ‘“Less than 60 days ago,” he sald, “a company with several million dollars of patd-up capital, known as the National Alr Transport, Inc., was formed in Chi. cago. It will start this Fall to con- duct an aerial express service be- tween Chicago and New York, mak- ing the trip at night over the airways established by the United States Gov- ernment for the carrying of the air mails. As soon as this line is success- ful other eities will be equipped with a similar service. . Line in Operation. “The Ford Motor Co. estab- lished the first frelght carrying line in the country a few months ago and carried 1,000-pound cargoes from Detroit to Chicago and return daily with two airplanes, the Maiden Dear- born I, and the Maiden Dearborn II, in operation. The trial was so suc- cessful that similar transportation will soon be established by this com- pany between its Chicago plant and those in Minneapolis, St. Paul and 6t. Louls. ““Other companies are being formed to engage in commercial aviation largely for carrying frelght and ex- press. It is of the greatest impor- tance to all realtors concerned in the upbuilding of industries in their re- spective communities to see to it that || suitable airplane fields are established in their citfes at once, if this has not alreadybeen done.

Rugs and carpets in rooms in con- stant use need to be brushed'clean with the carpet sweeper every day or two; and once a week thoroughly swept or gone over with a vacuum cleanger, or in the case of small rugs, beaten out of doors. In sweeping, the broom should be held nearly upright and the strokes should be short, in one direction, and with the nap of the carpet. Oriental rugs especially should be swept with the nap, not against it, and care should be taken not to Sweep any kind of a pile rug or carpet with a digging motion of the broom. The so-called “sprouting” of Brussels car- pet, by which is meant the appearance of broken ends of yarn on the sur- face, Is often caused by wrong methods of sweeping. The broken ends of yarn should be clipped off with scissors as soon as they appear and should in no case be pulled out. 'The lint that comes from Axminsters is composed of ‘the short clippings that settle into the nap as the carpet is being woven and is not a defect. Sweeping should be made as dust- less as possible by dampening the broom or scattering crumpled, damp- ened bits of newspaper, moist tea leaves, or one of the commercial sweeping preparations on the surface of the carpet. These methods must be used with care, however, for deli- cately colored carpetings are espe- cially. likely to be streaked by mols- ture. If a carpet or rug still seems very dusty after cleaning, the surface may be wiped with a cloth wrung as dry as possible from clear water. over carpets is that they can be taken out of doors more easily and often to be cleaned, thus removing the dirt from the house with them and lessen- Ing nolse and confusion within. They should be turned face down on dry snow or grass, beaten with a flat car- pet beater, and swept thoroughly on both sides. In some houses an elec- tric plug is so placed that the vacuum cleaner can be used on the-porch and the rugs cleaned there in the open alr and sunshine. Beating or brush- ing rugs or carpets hung over a line or shaking them is likely to strain or break the threads and loosen bind- ings. Pile rugs and carpets, whether made by hand or machine, should be rolled rather than folded while they are being carried from place to place. Rag and light-welght cetton rugs may be washed in the tub like any other heavy colored materfal, but must be rinsed thoroughly in order to pre- vent them from looking grimy. Turn- ing the hose on a rug or dashing palls of water over it is sometimes the easiest and most effective way of rinsing. Other textile rugs and carpets when badly sofled may be placed on a table or other flat surface of conven- ient height and scrubbed with a heavy lather of mild soap and water, using either a brush or a sponge. As soon as a section is scrubbed clean it water changed as often as it bscomes discolored. - This 45 a thorough method of cleaning, but may cause the rugs to shrink or._change color, and there- fore should-be used with caution. It should not be tried for very thick-[K: plled rugs unless one is sure the rug can be thoroughly and quickly dried; molsture left at the bottom “of the pile may rot the threads. If possible, it is better to send vsluable rugs to a good professional cleaner who has special apparatus for this work. Fiber and grass rugs and mattings should be swept with a soft brush and may occasionally - be wi| with a slightly damp cloth, or they may be cleaned with a vacuum machine. Water is likely to discolor floor cover- ings of this kind and must be used very sparingly, if at all. When taken out of doors for more thorough clean- ing they should be laid flat and swept on both sides, but not beaten nor shaken. Greasé and other stains may be removed In much the same way as from carpets. 3 HEADS NURSERY MEN. ROCHESTER, N. Y., June 27 (®).— Geprge A.
