How Red Cross Workers Are
Now Knitting Two Socks at
Same Time for Army Boys

Knitting two socks at one time is an
achievement every war knitter would
like to be equal to. Some of the Red
Cross shops are passing the news
around that it can be done. The dis
covery was credited to a Sydney, Aus
tralia, workshop. This shop increased
it's output from $4,000 pairs of socks
one month to 10000 pairs the next by
knitting twins" Miss Brown, who
came to this country to impart the di-
rectiOns to our Red Cross, gives the
following instructions on knitting twin
socks:
1.-THE purling for the top of the socks
is knit separate. When one is finished
take it off with darning needle on to
heavy cord. When the other is fin
iShed slip the first one inside the sec
Ond one, from the top, and with the
knitting needle take up from first one
and then the other, alternating, begin
ming with the first stitch from the
needle and ending with the last stitch
from the one on the cord. Hold the
sock toward you, purling the first
stitch which is from the sock that was
on the needle, and knitting the second
stitch from the one that was on the
cord; proceed with the first purl and
then knit, holding the thread over the
first finger for knitting, and soon you
will acquire rhythm.
"When you get to the heels take off
as in any sock AS you turn your heel
always purl the one next to you and
knit the other. To narrow take first
and third stitch. purl them and slip
the needle out, which leaves one stitch
from the opposite sock, which slip onto
your needle and narrow knitting. There
is no slip and bind in this sock. When
finished slip the needles out and take
up your separate socks and bind off.
In purling never put your thread over
always keep it toward you. as il you
are purling back on your heel"
The teacher said that after knitting
three pairs one would become as eff
Gent as in knitting the single sock.

Make Your
Own Sugar
By the US Dept. Of Agriculture

BY the use of ordinary kitchen
equipment many people are in posi-
ton to make up the average OF 81
pounds of sugar. which is the average
each person in the United States used
last year. A few sugar maple trees.
well-kept colonies of bees, hundred
feet of sugar beets raised in the gar
den, or a small patch of sweet sor-
ghum, and surplus apples which might
go TO waste unless made into apple
strip may each be made to contribute
to the sugar supply.
The present limited sugar supply can
be increased if many more families, in
regions where the sugar maple grows,
would each make maple sirup or sugar
from ten or more maple trees. Ten
trees, under ordinary conditions, can
be expected to yield about four gal
Ions of strip or thirty pounds of sugar.
= Maple sugar making is an art the
pioneer settlers of America learned
from the Indians and for years it has
been a home and farm industry. The
process is not so complicated that any
one who has the opportunity need hest
tate TO try it. Find a sugar maple tree
ten or more inches in diameter; bore a
hole three lights of an inch or slightly
more in diameter; insert a metal spout
or one made by punching the pith from
section of elder, set a bucket under
it that the sap may collect; boil this
down in q kettle or shallow pan on a
kitchen stove to the proper density for
maple sirup If sugar is preferred, boil
il down further until it is quite thick
taking care that it does not burn, and
let it crystalline.
.Sugar weather" often starts by the
mi Idle of February in the southern
part of the sugar maple region. The
first sap is sweetest. There is no time
+. be lost in talking: get ready to
take advantage of the first warm
sunny days. "Old timers" say the out
look is good for a good sugar sea-
son.

About the Sun.

"Sun" is among the words contained
in the latest issued sections of the
Oxford English dictionary. Eleven
closely printed columns are devoted to
it. 1t is quite interesting to find that
the kaiser's famous phrase, place in
the sum-" originated with Pascal. who
used it to illustrate the beginnings Of
tyranny. Yet another well-known
phrase. ION which the sun never SETS"
was apparently first used in connection
with the Spanish empire 800 years ago.
It's first application to the British en-
pire was made in the way Of joke
by Thaekeray in the pages of Punch.

rye are the staple crops of Russian ag
riculture, and the annual production in
Ukraine of these grains amounts to
one-third of Russia's output. As 80
other farm products, Ukraine's position
is also conspicuous.
Beet root, for instance, is especially
cultivated in the Ukrainian provinces
Of Podolia, Volhynia, Kieff and Kher-
son; those provinces together yield
five-sixths of the sugar beet produc-
ton of all Russia. Ukraine produces
almost all the tobacco of the old en-
pire and she has the largest and finest
orchards and vineyards of Russia.
The immense natural resources of
Ukraine furnish splendid opportunity
for the development of manufacturing
industries. As matter of fact, 81 per
cent of Russia's annual production Of
pig iron and SO per cent of Russia's
production of steel come from Ukraine.

: GERMANY HELD
UP. FOR time
Imperial Government Wish
ed to Take More Time
For Deliberating.

Washington, Oct. 1s.-Diplomatic
dispatches today based on'Advices
from Berlin through Basel, Switzer-
land, say Germany's response to Pres
ident Wilson's note was held up at
the last moment. after alive hour ses-
sion in the war cabinet ThursdaX
with all the military leaders present,
and after the semi official newspapers
had announced that the reply would
be sent immediately.s
1t was learned, the dispatches de-
clare, that the questions involved were
so serious and the conditions in Ger
many so disquieting, that the imperial
government wished to take further
deliberations before final decision.
The Vorwaerts is quoted as follows:
1.-THE German answer may not, be
ready before several days. The opin-
ion Of the federal councils commission
for foreign affairs will be asked for.
The government is believed to be
contem plating, the conyoking Of the
great commission Of the reichstag to
explain the matter to 1t instead of as
sembling the reichstag as had been
announced"
