 3 Red Cross mittens are satisfac- ory.

 "The attempt to standardize the ed Cross knitting needles and so void confusion which has previously J risen because of the difference III 1mmercial sizes has not been under .ood. This is purely due to the fact lat the Red Cross needles are not op and in the various chapters, and peo- le are trying to use commercial sizes os. 1, 2 and with disastrous results.
 was thought that the giving of the rcular to show the sizes would obvl- te this difficulty, but apparently 1t as not done so. Number One, Red ross, is about Number Ten, steel; umber Two, Red Cross, is about Mum er Four amber; Number Three, Red ross, is about Number Six amber in le average commercial sizes. People in general are using yarn lat is not heavy enough, as the direc- ons are based on a heavy grade. The ,ck seems to be giving the most ouble, because women are observing lly the directions as to stitches ana re not using the heavy yarn and rger needles.
