America Has More Than England. $250,000 One in Museum. LONDON, August 7 (P).—Although there are a great number of good car- pets in England, there are not many of great value, and in this latter re- spect America is far better off thag England, says Cecil Tottershall, an expert of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Mr. Tottershall asserts few people understand the value of an old carpet, and the person who was reported to have spurned a Persian carpet 100 vears old did no more than the ma- Jjority of people in England would have done. He added that there is a for- tune in carpets for people who know how and when to buy, and there must be hidden away in old houses many carpets and rugs of great value. The most famous carpet in the world is the Arabadil. now in the museum. It meas- | ures 17x34 feet and is valued at more than $250,000. S You never can tell.
