LOYALTY

This is no time to Quibble or to
 foolj To argue over who was wrong' who right; To measure realty with g worn foot
 rule;
 To ask: Shall We keep still or shall we fight?" The Clock of Fate has struck; the
 hour is here; War is upon us now, not far
 awayJ One question only rises, clarion clear:
 How may I serve my country
 day by day?" Not all of us may join the khakied throng
 Of those who answer and go forth
 to stem The tide Of war. But We can all
 be strong And steady in our loyalty to theml Not with unfettered thought, or tongue let loose In bitterness and hate-a child ish game!- But with faith, untroubled by abuse,
 That honors those who put the rest to shame! There is no middle ground on which 70 stand; We've done with useless pro-and- con debates; The ore-time friend, so welcome III this land, Has turned upon us at our very gates. There Is no way, with honor, to stand back Real patriotism isn't cool-then hot; You cannot trim the flag to fit your lack; You are American--or else you re not!
 Jack Appleton, in Paragrafs'

SeV- eral don'ts are required in knitting; Do not knit too tight; do not knit one side of the heel of a SOCK tighter than the other, this refers to the slipped stitches; do not let the yarn slack at the corners thereby making railroads" the whole length of the garment; do not skimp on measurements; do not set the stitches too tight, cast on loosely, and above all things get needles of the same size and with perfectly smooth points or you will have uneven work and partly dropped stitches.
