NEEDLE KNOWLEDGE

To make use of old sweaters that
cannot be darned for further wear,
take the good part and cut the re-
quired size for children's leggins, cro-
chet all around them, picking up every
stitch so they will not rasel, lap one
side over the other and sew together.
Busy needle workers who like to do
little embroidery in spare minutes
will find this quick way of working
stem stitch. Sew on the machine
along stamped lines. being careful to
follow them accurately and using a
rather short stitch.
Thread your needle with embroidery
floss. and pass the needle under each
stitch. eye first, keeping on the upper
surface of the material. that is, you
simply overcast or whip with your
embroidery thread the fine machine
stitching. A perfect raised cord or
stem is the result, and it takes much
less time than to embroider it in the
usual way.

BIG PRODUCTION
OF NAVY FUEL

Records for coal production in the
Pocahontas and New River districts
of West Virginia during the month of
October show a remarkable increase
over previous 30-day periods
The figures for October were 2,O34,-
242 tons. OF this amount 1850
tons were shipped and the remainder,
1929 tons, was consumed locally.
Coal cooked amounted to 100000 tons.
The monthly total. exceeding by 40.-
600 tons the figures for all other
months during the calendar year, was
reached despite the inroads made upon
the labor strength by the influenza
epidemic. 1t was estimated that not
less than 2,100 men were incapaci-
tated. For several months, 5000 men
by loyal service and overtime work,
have been doing as much as twice that
number performed before the miners
ranks began to be thinned out by the
draft and other causes.

emies is less of a philanthropy than
a business transaction. We are asked
to continue the avoidance of food
waste. in order 10 leave as much food
as possible for export. We are not
asked to take necessary food out of
our own mouths or the mouths of our
children in order TO feed the Huns.
Moreover, we are going to feed them
neither because We pity them very
much. nor because We expect to make
money out Of them, but because if they

GERMAN FIRE INSURANCE
COMPANIES TO BE SOLD

Persons who have in former years
held fire insurance policies with such
names as The Nor Deutsche, Prussian
National, Aachen and Munich, ETC.,
will be interested to learn that all
such companies have been taken over
by the United States Government Off
Gals and that a business which was,
before the war, very large and
profitable one, will soon be now ter
profitable one, will soon be terminated.
The German interest in the insur-
ance business i'm the United States is
to be dissipated, according to A.
Mitchell Palmer, AlienProperty Gus
todian, who announced yesterday that
he would sell the German-owned
American companies within few
days Mr.. Palmer named 16 COM
panies, with annual premium accounts
in 1917 of $16.761.4 24.
In statement announcing the taxi
ing over of the insurance companies,
which hitherto have been allowed to
attempt liquidation under their own
management, Mr.. Palmer charged that
not only had investigation disclosed
that the Germans had used devious
methods to maintain their hold on
American business, but that their
American representatives had aided
them even to the extent of conceal
ment and evasion of law" No intima-
ton as to whether there would be
prosecutions was given.

TO THE SPORTING PUBLIC

The Sports committee of the United
War Work Campaign, is anxious to
ascertain the exact amount of revenue
the sporting world raises in the pres
ent campaign.
II has sent out word to every person
and organization promoting sporting
activities in behalf of the drive that
the money should be turned over to
local campaign authorities, and that
report of the amount thus raised,
should be forwarded to the Sports
committee.
In order that the sporting worlds
response to this call may be definitely
put down in dollars and cents, the
committee now urges that statement

GERMANY PAYS FOR 1T

There seems 10 have been a general
misconception in the minds of most
Americans regarding the shipment of
food from this country TO help feed
our late enemies. That food is not to
be sent as a gift, like the food we sent
Belgium early in the war
The Belgians themselves, since that
first emergency campaign of philan-
thropy. have been paying for all the
provisions we sent them. The Ger
mans who imposed such cruel hard
ship on the Belgians will certainly not
be treated any more generously.
There is said TO be enough gold re-
manning in the German treasury to
pay for all the grain and meat the
Germans need to keep them alive I'M
til next harvest. If gold fails, credits
can be arranged, as we have arranged
them with other nations. unless Ger

REDUCTION IN
SLEEPING CAR FARE

Railroad administration officials are
considering a reduction in fares on
sleeping cars
Adjustment of the extra fare of half
a cent mile for sleeping car transpor-
tation was said to be before Director
General McAdoo. The sleeping car rate
since the June increase, is 315 cents a
mile, with the charge for accommoda-
tions additional.
The Annapolis distric. of which
mile is yielding revenue at the rate of
$57,000,000 annually. Elimination of
the extra fare must be Offset with rev.
enue from some other source, officials
believe. Upon the finding of another
means of revenue production was said
to depend McAdoo's decision to re-
store the three-cent rate.

PLEA FOR EARLY
XMAS SHOPPING
Railway Express officials Suggest De-
cember 10 As Final Ship
ping Date

vice-Presidenf d. s. Elliott. in
charge OF traffic for the American
Railway Express Company, has in
formed all operating officials and
agents of the express organizations
throughout the United States. that it
is the purpose of the company to up
hold in every way the request of the
Council of Defense that Christmas ex-
press shipments be started on their
way by December 5.
A concerted effort will be made in
every city and town of the country by
the $4,000 express employees, TO en-
phasize the Importance of preventing
any possible congestion of transporta-
ton facilities during these critica!
times Although the express facili-
ties are very elastic, so much of the
equipment is now used for strictly war
purposes, that all gift shipments for
long distance travel should be deliv-
cred to the express company not later
than December 5, and for short hauls
not later than December 10. This will
allow ample time for sorting and de-
livering before Christmas Day.
I'VE wish to emphasize strongly"
said Mr.. Elliott" the point raised by
the Council of National Defense, that
nothing should be forwarded. which
will interfere with essential war bust
ness. Just now the movements Of
equipment and supplies for the over
seas forces is heavy and exacting; and
there should be no domestic burden
placed upon transportation, which
would tend to lessen the delivery of
war shipments"
ALSO during the winter months
there is a tremendous movement of
foodstuffs to call of the larger cities.
These foodstuffs are perishable and
next to war shipments must be given
first consideration"
I'VE are asking our men everywhere
to bring these points before our pa
irons, and to emphasize more strongly
than ever the vital importance of prop
er packing and legible marking. We
are asking them to refuse all ship
ments which are not packed strongly
enough to reach their destination with
ordinary handling, and to insist that
the address of the sender and of the
consignee be placed on a card and en-
closed inside the package"

SCHOOLS AND COLDS

The Flu has come and gone through
the country, leaving in its wake
trail OF deaths and serious illnesses.
In some cases the experience has
taught lessons TO city and school au-
thorities. In others the lesson seems
TO have been wasted.
Where the school authorities were
alive TO the situation a rule has been
made that any child appearing in
school with any appearance OF cold III
the head, cough or sore throat, shall
promptly be sent home until the
symptoms have disappeared. In this
way an effective check is put upon the
spread not only OF common colds,
but OF grippe. influenza. measles, scar
LET fever. whooping cough and infan-
tile paralysis. all of which begin with
some of the symptoms of the common
cold" and all of which are most con-
tagious while in the stage when those
symptoms are manifest.
The schools in one city have adopt
ed a beautiful system of locking the
barn door after the horse has been
tsolen. No rule about sending home
children with colds has been made.
They may stay and infect the other
children as long as they are able to
walk. But IL child be absent for
three days. that child must bring
permit from the health officer stating
that the child is fit to return to school.
The result of this rule will be about
as follows: child coming down with
any one of the above named diseases
will stay in school long enough to
cause illness in about a dozen other
children. These will convey il to their
families, generously counting in the
small babies of the household. After
some forty people have been i'll of the
disease, the child will come back to
school, armed with its precious GER
tificate.
Why are we so slow to use common
sense in small matters of prevention?
The attitude takes from us such q
costly toll in the matter of cure!
There is no such thing as "a trifiing

WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY

And as Moses lifted up the serpent
In the wilderness, even so must the
Son of man be lifted up.
That whosever believeth in him
should not perish, but have eternal
life
For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the
world TO condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be
saved.-John 3:14-17.
