WHY TO KNIT

People who read the article "Why
Not to Knit" in a recent issue of the
Literary Digest will be interested in
reading the reply which has been
made by F.. T. Heffelfinger. division
manager of the Red Cross. MI. Heffel-
fingers letter reads:
TO ALL CHAPTERS:
In a >recent number Of the Literary
Digest was reprinted an article writ
ten by Samuel S. Dale and entitled
why Not to Knit" The writer states
that in his, opinion .hand-khit socks
are made Of yarn that is soft and
fluffy and lacking in durability" and
that machine knit socks made of
Tower priced mixtures Of cheaper
wool, cotton and shoddy" are i'm
measurably superior"
Such a statement hardly deserves an
answer, but we are finding that the
fact that it was reprinted in a period
ical Of the standing of the Digest has
given it a weight that it does not de-
serve, and that the minds Of some of
our good workers are being disturbed
by it.
The facts of the cases are these:
In every cantonment in this country,
and with every army division abroad,
are Representatives Of the Red Cross
whose duty it is to study the needs
Of h men in the army. In Paris is
the French commission, headed. by
Jas. H. Perkins, and having on Its
staf some of the keenest of our Amer
business men. These men are in
constant communication with General
Pershing and the higher army officers.
They report to the Red Cross war
council in Washington. composed of
such men as Harvey P. Dawson.
George 3. Case, John D. Ryan, Har-
ivey D., Gibson and Cornelius N. Bliss,
rJr.e In cooperation with the war and
navy departments and with the war
industries board, these men determine
the policy of the Red Cross and what
its productive activities are to be-.
When they make a statement of
need, it is based on careful ~investiga-
ton, both of the need and of the
available supply of raw material.
They have recently asked American
women to knit for the army and navy
100000 pairs of socks. They know
what they are talking about when
they make this request. There can be
no question hat the higher officials.
responsible for the care Of the Amer
lean army, want the Red Cross to
knit the socks, and to knit them at
once, and'if the women of the Red
Cross allow the irresponsible utteranc-
es Of any individual to influence them
to a their knitting, some Of our
soldiers will be u~nprovided with suf-
fclent socks when the winter comes
on. .
Yours very truly,
F. T. Hefelfnger,
Division Manager.

WHEN IS A CUP
NOT A CUP?

Before the war you knew how to
cock; You knew what should be the
consistency Of a, pancake batter or q
cake dough. In all cases you had
5orr own recipes, good old STAND
bys.' treasured in the family for gen.
erations gathered from cousins, friends
and neighbors, Or made up out Of
your own head under a stress Of cir.
curnstances.
But war conditions have made many
OF your recipes impractical. Wheat
flour no longer figures in the recipes
OF the 10.per. cent patriotic. And your
cailE have gone out for recipes which
the new flours.
These include barley flour, oatmeal,
cat flour, corn flour, cornmeal, rice
flour and buckwheat.
In the experimental Kitchen Of the
United States food administration
certain general, things about these
wheat substitutes have been found to
be true! Seemingly they will not
substitute in a recipe cup for cup"
and give good results. But weight
for weight the results are excellent.
If we were English, or Canadian
women this bit Of news would seem
very practical. In these countries
they do most Of their cooking with q
pan Of scales instead of a measuring
cup. But we American women have
never done that, and SO for the pres
ent at least, we should like a transla-
ton into measuring cups.
Fortunately this has been arranged.
The following table will show you
how much OF each Of the common
substitutes to use in place of. a cup
of wheat flour-both the bread flour
aud the pastry flour:
In place Of a cup Of wheat flour
(bread flour) use: 1 1-2 cups barley
flour. 1 1-8 cups ground rolled oats,
1 cup corn flour, / cup (scant) fine
ccrnmeal, 1 cup ~(scant) oat flour. 7-s
cup generously coarse cornmeal, 7-S
CUP generously rice flour, 7-8 cup
generously buckwheat. 4
In place Of a cup Of wheat flour

MAY THEY COME A G

Fifty-seven years ago when James
johnson enlisted for the Civil war. he
hung his scythe in the crotch of a
Balm-of-Gilead tree on his farm in
New York and told his wife not to
touch it until he returned. johnson
came back and the tree has
grown around the blade Of the scythe
until only a small end protrudes. Now
two new scythes are hanging in an
other crotch of the same tree, and
will not be touched until their owners
return from the war. but the villagers
hope for a happier ending Of the ira
dition.
