evils PenWeIl, Wool Administrator,
Says No Hand Knitting
Wool Will Be Made

San Francisco, Aug. 20.-The army,
navy and Red Cross require 900,O00,OO0
pounds of wool and this country
production this year will be 2S0,O0O,-
600, consequently no wool will go
into clothing for civilians this year,
stated Lewis Penwell, United States
wool administrator, who arrived mere
yesterday from Oregon.
Penwell addressed a gathering of
wool men and declared that owing to
the demand of ships for war purposes,
no tonnage could be spared to bring
to this country wool for civilian cloth
ing. The only wool not being releas-
ed for other than war use is for paper
makers felt, for fume bags for smelt-
ers and for gaskets for steam engines.
These in reality are war uses.
No hand knitting yarn is to be made,
said Mr. Penwell, and orders undoubt-
eddy will be issued stopping the manu-
facture of fancy Indian blankets and
Navajo rugs.
