This day was first called Dec
Grafton Day as when in 1868,
General John A. Logan, Com
mander of the Grand Army, gave
orders that May 80 be set apart
for the purpose of strewing with
flowers and otherwise decorate
the,graves of those who had so
bravely given their lives for the
preservation Of their country's
unity and peace. But with the
years the day has broadened in
its scope and likewise deepened
in its meaning. 1t is no longer,
just the heroes of the sixties, but
1t goes back to the days of l716
ard of 1912. Itincludes not just
those who gave their lives for
the union but also the graves of
those who fought so valiantly
for a lost cause, which was dear
to their hearts and are heroes as
others. Nor does it forget those
latter heros. of our war with
Spain.

And today as we face foe across

er day like this has come, there will
be other graves to decorate and other
deeds of valor to relate as the youth

A Safe Forecast
God.

Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz shows com
mendable discretion in his latest public an
nouncement by sticking strictly to gener-
alities. I'VE can" he says, continue con-
fdently to expect a final triumph over
England so long as we continue TO sink
vessels faster than she constructs them
That is indeed a certainty, provided only
that the war can be sufficiently prolonged.
for in the end England would manifestly
have no vessels left to sink.
Three years ago the Grand Admiral was
less cautious. and when he gave out his
first famous warning the mistakes ne
made were in descending to particulars.
Thus he told the correspondent who was
PRIVILEGED to declare the new German pol
lev to the world that Germany could tor
pedo every English or Allies ship which
uears any harbor in Great Britain" and
even allowed him to add that what ne
actually contemplated was "torpedoing
several merchant ships" in order that
others would not venture to approach that
country"
Tirpitz was not able, as he seemed to
EXPECT. to torpedo every vessel in the
danger zone and the rest of his predic-
ton has gone wrong, though the threat OF
sinking several merchant ships" has un-
doubtedlv been fulfilled. It is better, then,
to make proclamations that no one can con-
tradct and that time can never discredit.
It will disappoint some enthusiasts in
Germany to learn that mo definite time
can he fixed" for the final triumph" and
that all that can be promised is that after
some months" Germany's position will be
quite different Nevertheless, Tirpitz
takes safer ground on this occasion than
some of his colleagues, and, no matter what
happens. he can never Justly be denounced
as q false prophet.

Knitting Of Old and Now

i
In erandmother's day every girl was taught
70 knit. but most of the knitting actually was
done bv the elder women, supposed TO be
possessed of greater leisure. Knitting, with
the four fine steel needles and fine yarn then
used. was slow process. Even stocking
was the work Of weeks, according to the
time Der day devoted. 1t might be added that
when tapered and "toed" 1t was a stocking
recornizable as such and not mistaken for
either a helmet or a INIT. Those were the
davs when knitting was business, not an ad-
venture or a freak Of fashion.
Grandmother sat by the freside, and her
needles clicked through the daylight hours.
She would hardly have felt justified in taking
her knitting to church. Her descendants
seem 70 have gone daft over what she took
CALMLY So we meet the children, with their
shining morning faces, knitting on the way

ing at the opera or the play, or perhaps IN
her motor. and even on the street and in
steam cars. The deyotee OF the movies
watches the unfolding pictures while her
fingers work automatically on in the dark
ness. Young and old of the female persuasion
are knitting sedulously. almost frantically,
lille even males with overmuch leisure are
suspected of yiel,>ng TO the fascination Of the
points and the yarn and the stitches. A
mass Of garments OF one sort or another,

Without. is going to be the result.
And little harm done. TO be sure. Knitting
is "a pursuit of thrift. The knowledge Of how
to fash On useful garments with nothing bu,
needles ard yarn viii not come amiss. The
training Of the mind and the muscles is good
for the nerves properly conducted The
height CT the present wave will doubtless pass,
but IL will leave many with useful knowledge
ard profitable habits while something is
bound to come out OF this that in some man
uer can be utilized for wear. -Four needles Of
our younger days have given way to two.

Judge Hylan's Ignorance

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In every political campaign many
malicious and unfounded remarks are made,
but the recent statement By Mr. Hylan. the
Tammany candidate for Mayor Of New York,
that Mayor Mitchell is responsible for the
1916 epidemic of infantie paralysis is 80 pre-
rosterous that every fair-mnded person must
rise in protest
This false accusation not only reflects on
New York's efficient Health Department, but
also. broadly speaking. on those of every
other municipality in New Jersey and neigh
boring states whore the disease was preva-
lent. Sucn an epidemic was due TO many
uncomfortable factors and some poorly con-
tro!ed ones, including lack Of education
along sanitary lines Of people Of Mr.. Hylans
type. who By their very ignorance assist IN
the spread OF disease. Health departments
should for the safety Of the communities be
kept out of politics. and Mr. Hylan's promise
to upset that in New York is one of the be
arguments against his election.

by bitter hours. continuous hours, what is

that they were practically all properly shod.
The nurses who marched and are now in the
training schools in this vicinity showed an
occasional exception. but they wore. as a rule,
their prescribed school shoes, which are above
reproach.
The heels OF the Red Cross workers and
auxilaries. however. showed every variation

over 80 per cent OF this particular class of
paraders had on what would amount TO Cuban
heels or higher.
As an addendum let me assert that the girls
with the fat heels were under more distress
than those with the French heels from the
Eifel shadow. Tennis shoes are for running.

reproach. and a large proportion Of the others
had properly prepared themselves for their

Wasted Fruit

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to quote from a letter.
dated October 7, received from friend in
Salt Lake City:
at is hard to imagine that it is October.
Fruit and vegetables are still fine and cheap;
fresh string beans are selling at three pounds
for n quarter
Fruit is much cheaper than the vegetables.
but there are no more cans obtainable. so we
had to quit canning. If you have q car you
can get all the peaches, plums and prunes
and apples you want for nothing.
my sister who lives seventeen miles OUT
isn't paying a cent fG her fruit this year.
All they need to do is to 60 and pick Il. In
one orchard they turned forty soldiers loose
and told them to help themselves They
picked four hundred bushels, which were
taken TO the fort
Scarcity Of labor is the cause OF all this.
1t is impossible to hire pickers, so the biggest
fruit crop have seen in this section is to a
great extent going 10 waste"
Think OF it! All the fruit you want for
nothing, while we here are paying orchid
prices for peaches,
Somehow, letter like that makes one think
less Of our boasted system Of distribution.

Hylan, the Shirker

II was a foregone conclusion that Judge
Hylan would refuse to meet Mayor Mitchell
in debate on the issues Of the campaign.
: He doesn't dare do it, any more than he
dares answer the questions the Mayor has
been asking him. But for deliberate i'm
pudence, for sheer mendacity, the form OF
his refusal surpasses any statement put
forth by him or any other Tammany orator
in this campaign.
Almost word for word it could be turned
against him with justice and truth. With
his name substituted for Mayor Mitchels
it would read:
THE time has come when Judge Hylan
must meet the issues of this campaign and
meet them with statements that are truth
full. He can no longer avoid a reckoning.
No mere oratorical contest with this man
who is smarting under deserved and al
most universal condemnation will meet the
situation or satisfy the people This is the
case of the City of New York against
Judge Hylan and his hackers, Hearst and
Murphy, and his answer must be made to
all the people. The case Is presented upon
a record that cannot now be changed, and
il is upon that record that Judge Hylan
must seek to make his justification to the
people. 1t is time for Judge Hyan to make
his defence He has delayed too long al
ready"
Judge Hylan's campaign statements
have been untruthful, but he persists in
them He rehashes that hoary untruth. the
declaration that the Rockefeller interests
have dominated the school system. He re-
iterates the untruth that predatory corpo-
rations dictate the policies Of the Mitchell
administration. He puts forth list of
imported experts" who, he says, fatten on

Profit in the Beef

Sir: Replying TO an article signed by q. V.

people the citizens of New York; are crimi-
nails, | wish to say that If the people Of
Adena. Ohio. his home town, are all like him
they are the real criminals
II is true the darymen are entitled TO a
fair profit. Any sensible person will allow
that, but though the dairymen are doing their
best 20 convince the public that they are
losing money their arguments are weak and
misleading.
For instance. some professor or cost ac-
countan' shows by figures that TO produce a
quart Of milk costs cents, or very near IL;
but admitting that. where. then. does the
COW get all the beef, etc. which is used for
food? Why, from the food they give it to
produce milk.
/ consider that the profit on the beef is
sufficient for the producer, fair profit.
l., any one can convince me to the con-
trsry by sufficient evidence. etc, am willing
TO be convinced, but in the meanwhile in
tend to fight the high price Of milk to the
best OF my ability. +. NJ DICKINSON.

The Wool Market for knitters

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The experiences of your correspond
ont Mary Ellis, as narrated in her letter 70
the editor of The Tribune, are unique. The
demand of one shopkeeper Of $50 pound
Cor gray wool is incomprehensible, and the
act that she can obtain wool anywhere at 81
a pound is still more astonishing.
At the last quotation Ito my knowledge) ,
the price asked then was 81 pound. with
the exceptions Of Mays, where the price
Was 1896. and Bloomngdales, where they
asked 1855.
It is strange coincidence that almost
simultaneously with the widely advertised re-
quest Of the American Red Cross for 800
100000 warm garments for the soldiers The
price raised 20 four times as much as it
used to be-namely, 81 pound instead OF 81.
Why is this? Miss Mrs. Mary Ellis
would greatly oblge many knitters if she
would inform us where to obtain wool az 81
pound, even though it Is double the price
