ONLY CHANGE IN MACHINERY
Hand Knitting Now Done In Exactly
the Same Manner as 1t Mas Many
Centuries Ago.

There are a few touches of humor
In the countryside revival of knitting,
such as the over-large and the envious
feminine group about the lady who,
with practiced skill, deftly turns the
heel of a sock, but behind it all is a
fine display of service, says q writer in
the Detroit Free Press. When you
see a sweater or muller in process of
evolution it may interest you to know
that the work is being done just about
as it was when the art was in its in
fancy. There have been great improve
ments in knitting machinery, however,
and the first of them was directly due
to a somewhat common m~alady-un-
r~eciprocated love.
The Rev. William Lee of Cambridge
university, as the story goes, was deep
ly smitten with a maiden of his native
town, marlborough, Nottinghamshire,
but in spite of his ardent wooing could
make no impression. The fair one
calmly kept on with her knitting, then
the common occupation of English
women.
In revenge Reverend William swore
he'd invent a machine which would de-
stroy the market for hand work. He
kept his word, but Queen Elizabeth re-
fused to grant a patent and to give her
financial support because too many Of
her subjects would be deprived of their
means of livelihood. So the inventor
took his machine to France. This
story may be entirely fanciful, but in
1889 William Lee did r~evolutionize
hosiery making by producing the knit
ting frame or stocking frame. Ameri-
can names in the list of those who
have labored to perfect knitting ma
chinery are W. G. Gist, Almet Reid and
Griswpld.

SIMPLY PLACE OF DES0LATIoN
Little for the Traveller to Enthuse over
When He Visits the Old City
Of Jerusalem.

The allies advance in Palestine has
taken them through Jerusalem and the
little village of Jericho. The plain of
Jericho, the scene of so many historic
incidents in the past, is once again
caught in the old glare of the spot
light. Such a light reveals too plainly
the hopeless poverty of the people, the
cracks and holes in the rough walls of
the novels, the fields and gardens, fall
len by neglect into a riot of weeds and
wild flowers growing rank.
1t is better to look at Jericho at sun
set, and not too critically even then. In
a soft light the wretchedness of the
matched huts is less insistent, the jas
mine and oleanders seem sweeter and
the ragged Bedouins acquire pictur-
e~squeness in spite of dirt and squalor.
1t is only a short walk through the
plain from this Jericho of the present
to the two other sites which have
borne the same name. One, the Jericho
of Old Testament, destroyed by Joshua,
is only a memory, its reality proved by
bits of unearthed walls and pottery.
The third Jericho of the triangle is the
Jericho of the New Testament, the city
of palm trees which Antony bestowed
upon Cleopatra and which she later
sold to Herod the Great. Made gor-
geouS in the reign of Herod as a city
of palaces, it is now only a wreck of
stones and battered towers. The palms
for which it was famous are gone, with
the palaces and circus which they
shaded. The plain of Jericho is a will
derness, bound to civilization by its
many highways and it's tiny village. A
few miles to the southwest lies Jeru-
salem, connected with the village by
the robber-infested road along which
the good Samaritan travelled. All about
the plain rise the cliffs, mounted by
steep and winding trails. 1t is not an
attractive region, but even if it were
more wild and desolate than it is it
would still be much visited, for at
every step are landmarks of history.

GLADLY TOOK "WAR" BREAD

"But 1 don't like wal bread. It's so
dark and different. And the rules
aren't for children, are they?"
"No, but you know we were asked
to send one million bushels Of wheat
to the allies by May first. We have
given our word, and our baker is try
ing to help by making this special
bread, which has almost no white -four
in it whatever. But, of course, if you
don't feel you can help in this way.
you may buy a lighter loaf"
"Little Daughter started off. In a
few moments she returned. Mother
unwrapped the package. There was
the small, dark loaf, indeed different,
but really most palatable and nour-
ishing. Little Daughters eyes were
glowing.
Mother, the baker asked me if I
liked war bread, and I said 1 did"
Mother looked up in establishment.

big rivers I could swim. OF course. I
got soaked to the skin every time I
did it, but I was becoming hardened
to that.
These little bitches, however, were
too narrow to swim and too wide to
jump. They had perhaps two feet Of
water in them and three feet of mud,
and it was almost invariably a case of
wading through. Some Of them, no
doubt, I could have jumped If 1 had
been in decent shape, but with a bad
ankle and in the weakened condition
in which 1 was, it was almost out of
the question.
One night I came to a ditch about
eight or nine feet wide. / thought /
was strong enough to jump it and it
was worth trying al the discomfort 1
suffered after wading these bitches
was considerable. Taking a long run,
I jumped as hard as I could, but 1
missed it by four or five inches and
landed in about two feet of water and
three of mud. Getting out of that
mess was quite a job. The water was
too dirty and too scanty to enable me
to wash off the mud with which 1 was
covered and it was too wet to scrape
of. I just had to wait until it dried
and scrape it off then.
In many sections of Belgium through
which / had to pass l encountered
large areas of swamp and marshy
ground and rather than waste the
time involved in looking for better
underfooting-which 1 might not have
found anyway-I used to pole right
through the mud. Apart from the
discomfort of this method of travel
ing and the slow time l made, there
was an added danger to mi in the fact
that the squash, squash" noise which
1 made might easily be overheard by
Belgians and Germans and give my
position away. Nobody would cross
a swamp or marsh in that part of the
country unless he was trying to get
away from somebody, and I realized
my danger but could not get around 1t.
1t was a common sight in Belgium
to see a small donkey and 6 common
ordinary mich COW hitched together,
pulling a wagon. When l first OBJ
served the unusual combination, I
thought it was a donkey and OK or
bull, but closer inspection revealed to
me that cows were being used for the
purpose.
From that ] was able to observe
there must be very few horses left in
Belgium except those owned by the
Germans. Cows and donkeys are now
horses and mules. Altogether I spent
nearly eight weeks wandering through
Belgium, and in all that time I don't
believe I saw more than half a dozen

more frequently. The canals and the

After my meal was finished, I told
him in as simple language as I could
command Of some of the experiences
I had gone through and I outlined my
future plans.
"You will never be able to get to
Holland" he declared, without a
passport. The nearer you get to the
frontier the more German soldiers
you will encounter, and without a
passport you will be a marked man."
I asked him to suggest a way by
which 1 could overcome the difficulty.
He thought for several moments
and studied me closely all the time
perhaps endeavoring to make abso-
lutely sure that I was not a German
spy-and then apparently deciding In
my favor, told me what he thought 1t
was best for me to do.
eff you will call on this man"
(m%entioning the name of a Belgian In
-, a city through which 1 had to
pass), he advised, you will be able to
make arrangements with him to Sc
cure a passport, and he will do every
thing he can to get you out of Bel
GUM"
He told me where the man in ques-
ton could be found and gave me some
useful directions to continue my jour-
ney, and then he led ma to the door.
I thanked him a thousand times and
wanted to pay him for his kindness
and help but he would accept nothing.
He did give me his name and you may
be sure I shall never forget it, but to
mention it here might of course. re-
