EVERY ONE KNITTING FOR OUR
BOYS IN FRANCE.
1t is impossible for the country to
overknit Even if every woman
throughout the length and breadth of
the land were to knit night and day
there would still be a shortage of
knitted articles.
A pair of socks last. about three
days in active service; a sweater may
last month. Sometimes the mittens
do not hold out any longer than four
hours.
The rumor that the boys are al
ready oversupplied and that they are
using the scarfs to clean their guns
with or throwing their socks and
sweaters away is without any basis
of truth.
There is another false rumor on its
mad course, and that lis the wholly un.
true report that unless an article is
perfect it is thrown out by the Red
Cross and burned in a heap with 9th
erS of it's kind.
There would be precious few articles
accepted if only the perfect ones were
taken in. What the Red Cross is try
ing to do is to get the women to knit
as we'll and nicely as it is possible for
them to knit, and to measure their
articles up to certain regulations,
which in the end will tend to bring
about the much desired and very i'm
portant state of standardized knit
ting.
1t is only with the socks that there
is any rigid inspection, and even here
not a few are accepted which are far
from reaching the standard.
1t is socks more than all other
things that you can knit which are
needed the most. AS it is now there
are about five times as many scarfs
knitted as socks.
To cast on double FOR sleeveless
jacket, allow about 12O inches off and
cast on with double thread very
loosely.
To bind off double, knit first two
