DEFENSE AUXILIARY SENDS
APPEAL. TO kNITTERS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-The Wo-
mans Committee of the Council Of
National Defense has sent out a re-
quest to the women of America to
in the conservation of wool. Miss
Hanah ]. Patterson, resident director
of the committe, has given out the
following statement:
With a serious, worldwide need
for economy in wool, and with nurses,
soldiers and sailors writing their
friends and the Red Cross and other
organizations for knit garments to
help them keep warm in the rigorous
winter climate of northern France and
the north Atlantic, thousands of wo-
men in the United States are using
up wool for their personal adorn>
ment Six million garments have
been been requested of the American
Red Cross, and that organization will
exert itself to the utmost to provide
that number.
But sweaters cannot be made with
out yarn The Woman's Committee
is appealing to the women of the coun-
try to stop the practice of needlessly
and wastefully using yarn for them>
selves. 1t is appealing to the spirit
Of loyalty and devotion to country
which will keep any woman from
using yarn for unnecessary sweaters
for herself when our fighting forces
need it.
1T is imperative that We send out
call to our sisters to do their bit
in the war by knitting no more sweat
ers of wool for themselves after they
have one II is unthinkable that our
soldiers and sailors should suffer, or
run the risk of suffering because wo-
men choose to have from three to
thirty sweaters each, to match their
various gowns

LONG SWEETENING MAY
Be USED ONCE AGAIN


SAVANNAH, Ga. Oct. 22.-Before
the end of this week, Savannahians
may be forced to return to the old
time "long-sweetening" plan IN vogue
during the war between the states. The
reason therefor is that there is not
enough sugar in sight now to satisfy
a normal demand for the next three
days. Consumers, in consequence,
must either take their tea and coffee
without" or else use syrup as sub
stitute for sugar. The buying is being
controlled, and it is said, there will be
