of 80 beds for children In Evian. These
are reserved for the children who are
too Ill TO take farther. Then our Red
Cross has a convalescent hospital out
side the town and yet another In a
nearby village 1t also keeps six am

that for eight long months one Ameri-

beds.
We, through our American Red

ROMANCE GONE
Efficiency Kills Sentiment as
Machine Makes Socks
in Is Minutes.
BY RUTH DUNBAR.

SHOW snowy white your fingers look
against the scarlet wool !" was the
favorite speech of grandfather when
he was paying suit to grandmother,
who, If history is correct, never al
lowed little things like love and court
ship to distract her mind one minute
from her knitting.
The modern young man is robbed of
any opportunity to make these pretty
speeches, for the wool is no longer
scarlet but khaki. Worse yet, the
maiden sits before a cold, steel ma,
chine and grinds off socks in as many
minutes as it takes hours to knit them
This is what efficiency does to 70
nance.
of the New York County Chapter there
are nearly seventy-five sock machines
Eight of these are in the model work
room at 20 East Thirty eighth street and
others that have been ordered are held
I'D by traffic conditions. Here instruc
tors teach the use of the machine tc
Red Cross workers.
A complete pair OF SOCKS can DC
made ON the machine in 25 minutes
The machine looks like cross between
fishing tackle and pile driver. The
worker threads it through the arm ant
carrier on to the threader. The body
of the machine is a circle Of needles
bent at the ends like crochet hooks.
Sweaters also are made on the socl
machine, the strips sewed together ant
the ribbing at top and bottom knitted
on by hand.

MEMORIAL SERVICE,

Memorial services for Walter Squirting,
whose death in action in France Is re-
ported elsew here in this issue, were held
at the Methodist church Sunday after
noon. The church was decorated with
flags OF the United States and its allies,
and with beautiful flowers, tokens of love
from relatives.
While the occasion was q sad one to all
who knew this estimable young man, the
service itself psrtook OF an inspiring and
patriotic nature in keeping With the heroic
death OF Private Squirting. In connection
with the service, service flag VAS un-
yelled Tor the Gouids boro boys in the
service, including two, Walter Squirting
and Ralph Robertson, who have already
given their lives.
Rev. Mr.. Gray OF Bangor, the newly
appointed district superintendent, spoke
i>eloquently, paying tribute to all these
boys. The choir sang three hymns now
popular with the boys in France. A help
full touch also was given the service, in a
contribution for the Red Cross, sl2.75 be-
ing taken.
Edwin Squirting OF Lisbon Falls and
Earle Squirting OF South Portland came to
attend the service for their brother and
many friends were present from neig h bor-

If II were not for the American Red

workers are at the receiving station at
Evian. They first separate those
showing signs of tuberculosis from
those who are only starving or have

WHAT HOME SERVICE
HAS DONE FOR ME"

My husband enlisted over year
ago. Shortly after he went away our
twelve-year-Old boy had the measles.
After his recovery his school teacher
complained about his conduct. At
home he was nervous and irritable.
When called at the Red Cross to find
out how could secure an increase in
allowance because of our newly born
babe ! told them Of my trouble with
Harry. On their advice took him to
an oculist, who said glasses were need.
ed Immediately because of the weak
ened condition of the eyes following
measles. He no longer causes trouble

and very much on the job, Ferry
continues:
We'll, old pal, this is sure the

In case the results obtained in ex-
ploring the Atlanta vein on the
~19OO-foot level come up to expecta-
tions the Goldfield district will ex-
%perience a revival in mining that is
likely to bring another boom in
local stocks. Mining men and geo.
logists cannot, of course, see any
farther into the ground than a ten
derfoot, but they recognize condi-
tions that point with force to the
presence of ore in quantity and no
development in the Goldfield dis
trict has ever claimed the same
degree of unanimity of favorable
opinion as the present deep work
IN the Atlanta. 1t may still require
some time to prove the value of the
vein at this depth, but there is a
strong probability, in the opinion
of experts, that important discov-
cries will follow closely upon the
opening of the great lode at this
depth.
