NEW PATTERN FOR SWEATER

The Massachusetts Division of the
Woman's Committee of the Council of
National Defense showed samples of
"workless sweaters ambulance caps,
and crutch pads at the monthly con-
ference.
These articles, instead of being
knitted, were made of heavy, double
faced eider-down flannel. This mater
ial comes in Khaki and gray, is thick,
warm, and so closely woven that it
keeps out wind better than knitted
garments.
The advantage of these garments Is
not the saving of expense attached,
but the saving of time in construction.
Twelve women in Wollaston, Mass,
working 20 days, recently made 100
sweaters, II ambulance pads, and 70
crutch pads from the odd pieces left
from the other articles.
The sweater is cut in one piece,
joined on the shoulder and under one
arm. The slit for the neck is rounded
out in front and slightly slashed at
two points to give extra room in put
ting on, and allowing it to fit closely
round the neck. The bottom of the
sweater is shaped like mans shirt,
only shorter. Instead of taking in a
seam the edges are brought together
fiat and sewn closely back and forth,
over and over The outside edges are
finished with coarse button hole
stitch. For extra strength around the
neck, a row of single crochet is made
in button-holed edge.
The ambulance camp consists of a
circular top with straight strip fit
ted around and joined behind, after
the fashion of the silk skull caps
sometimes worn by baldheaded men,
to which is attached a circular cape.
Seams are joined in the manner of
the sweater and the edges button
holed Strings of tape to match are
securely attached to the cape, so that
the cap may be tied under the chin.
Anyone desiring further informa-
tion or a pattern may apply to Mrs.
William E. Rowe, Winthrop avenue,

KENTUCKY GETS INTO WAR GAR.
DEN CAMPAIGN FOR 1918
WITH BIG RUSH

Washington-Kentucky Is getting
into the war garden campaign with q
rush reports to the National War Gar
den Commission show. p. S. Rids,
dale, the secretary, is getting many
letters from banks, chambers Of COM
merce and boards of trade which show
the state is alive to the value of food
+. o. b. the Kitchen Door.
A letter was received today, which
is typical Of these that are coming in.
This letter is from Givan Bapnes Of
the Owensboro-Daviess County In
dustrial Club. The club wants 1000
war garden primers for distribution.
Secretary Ridsdale says that judging
by the letter there will be no Stacker
land in or around Owensboro this
year.
"The various wOmen's clubs are in
the campaign too this year" said Sec
retary Risdale. Last year the Ma
tional League for Women's Service
were particularly active in Kentucky
at the direction of Helen Fitz Ran
dolph of Glasgow Junction. The Wo-
mems Association of Commerce of the
United States of which Florence King,
the widely known lawyer of Chicago
is the head, is another organization
that plans to help plant and win the
war.
Banks, boards of trade and similar
organizations realize as never before
the value Of home food production
and there should not be a foot of
Stacker land any where. Secretary
Baker has just urged that no food be
wasted by the boys "over there. We
must not waste any over here and we
must break all records this year. 1t

civic organization see that he gets the

EPIDEMIC USUALLY FOLLOWED
WAR

The present is the first great war in
history which has not been followed
by its attendant disease. During the
previous invasion of France 74,205
men in the German field contracted
typhoid and gastric fevers, and 5,904
succumbed to them. Moreover, after
the seven months of the war of 1870
were over the returning soldiers
brought with them an epidemic of
smallpox, from which upward of 170,-
900 died throughout the German en-
pire.
