q. ). Bonnell, clerk of the
school board, assisted by G. X.
Coryell, completed the school
census this week. They enrolled
POI names, which is five more
than last year.
The school board is hopeful of
pleasant and profitable school
year. They expect TO publish
something each week of interest
something helpful to both
parents and children.
The following letter from the
newly elected principal will GER
tainly be of interest to those who
have the success of the school at
heart:

Other Suggestions.

We are not asking for trench caps,
wash-cloths, hot-water bottle covers,
or any of the knitted articles except
sweaters, helmets, wristlets and socks.
We accept, but do not ask for muf-
fers, the helmet with flaps having
taken their place.
The seams in two-piece helmets
should be made as fiat as possible, as
the cap or steel helmet fits snugly
over the knitted one. A large seam
or ridge is very uncomf ortable.
We suggest making wristlets with
two thumb holes, each one beginning
twojnches from the end. This
doubles the wear.
In making wristlets, it is important
to always cast on and bind off loosely.
Sweaters may measure either 23
or "a inches in length, and wristlets
either 10 or II inhces in length.
Socks should measure as nearly as
possible according to the Red Gross
specifications. They may be larger,
but not smaller. We urge that a
smoothe, plain heel and to always be
made, and the end Of the toes be fin
ished according to directions given in
our pamphlet A. R. G. 400, as this
does away with ridges or seams Of
any sort. After finishing, and all the.
stitches are slipped off, the wool
should be woven lengthwise through
the sock for inches. This should
also be done with the end of wool at
The Tupelo journal. (Tupelo, Miss.) 1876-1924, 1918-03-01
KNITTING SUGGESTIONS
Don'ts For the Knitsers of SocIxs

Don'ts For the Knitsers of Socks
Don't cast on tightly. An otherwise
well knitted sock may become useless
by having tight cord at the top.
Don't knot your wool. Join the
ends by splicing, or by knitting the
ends double for two or three inches
or by running the new end into the
old end with a worsted needle, which
may always be, kept on hand for this
purpose.
Don't make a heel with seam on
the sole. Remepber a man may not
have a chance to change his socks for
many days, and lump or knot brings
blister. If the blister breaks, blood
poisoning may set ip and result in
the loss of a foot or even life. We
cannot afford to lose our men through
negligence or ignorance.
Don't use needles too fine for the
wool The knitting should be elastic /;
il too tightly knitted the sock be-
comes hard and boardlike in use.
Don't make foot less than II
inches long.
Don't hand in socks without having
them washed and ironed. This makes
them softer and more comfortable to
the wearer, and insures a certain
amount of shrinkage.

PREDICTS SUFFRAGE
TO PASS INFO DAYS

Passage of the suffrage amend
ment to the Federal Constitution by
the Senate within the next twenty
days was predicted by Senator Cur
tbs of Kansas. Republican whip Of
the Senate, today. With the present
lineup. he said, suffrage advocates
have several votes to spare.
President Wilson is expected to
make an important announcement on
the suffrage situation this afternoon
when he receives a delegation of
Southern and Western Democratic
women voters who came to Washing
ton to protest against further de-
lay in the Senate. The President
has kept very close track of the
Senate situation. II the White
House poll comedies with that of
Senator Curtis, the President is eN-
pected to assure the women in a
public statement that he will use
every agency at his command to Sc
cure a vote in the Senate before the
elections.
When the suffrage amendment last
was scheduled for q vote in the SEN
ate, the suffragists lacked two votes
of the necessary two-thirds majority.
Senator Curtis announced that S'nre
that time they have gained two votes
but he declined to give the names
OF the men who had switched. The
best guess today was that the con-
verts are Senators Shields of Ten

STORES TOLIGHTEN
CHRISTMAS RUSH

Retail merchants today are plan
ming to Tighten the rush Of holiday
shopping and make Christmas a time
for the giving of useful articles.
In a recent conference between deal
ers and the Council of National De-
Tense, rules for the guidance OF re-
tailers were roughly worked out, and
an effort will be made to spread the
period for holiday purchasing over
the months of October, November.
and December. Retailers will not in
crease their working forces during
the holidays; normal working hours
will not be heightened, and deliveries
of articles will be restricted.
