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 II can be done. The dis
covery was credited to Sydney, Aus
tralia. workshop. This shop increased
its 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:
The purling for the top Of the socks
is knit separate. When one is finished
take ii 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
needle and ending with the last stitch
from the one OH 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
np your separate socks and bind off.
In purling never put your thread over
always keep 1t toward you. rs il you
are puring back on your heel"
The teacher said that after knitting
three pairs one would become as eff
cfent as In knitting the single sock.

Prediction That Whiskers
May Be Fad After the War

London newspapers are predicting
the full beard will come into fashion
both In Europe and America as re-
suit of the war. War always has in
fiuenced the style of whiskers. OBJ
serves the Louisville Courier. even in
the time of Alexander the Great, who
required his soldiers to shave off their
boards because beard was handle
which ar enemy could seize.
The Crimean war in the fifties
brought the full beard into fashion
again. In the campaign British sol
diers spent months In the trenches
where they had no chance to shave
Their beards grew and grew and they
wore them when they returned to
England.
The English papers say that many
soldiers coming home from the
trenches are bearded. and, unless pre-
cedents fail, the full beard is go
Ing to come into fashion again. Should
our American troops return from the
war with boards. we may look for that
fashion to become prevalent again In
America as II did after the Civil war.

"Many uniformed writer's tell us to

that few of these boys are fit to be on

weeks. An unframed farmland with

Tor going into n field Of corn, potatoes,
etc, can do more damage in day
than his services are worth in an en-
tire season.
AS for women, the native born are
not educated for farm work. They
might be forced to learn in the course
OF number of years, hut they are not
as constitutionally rugged as their for
eign sisters: they were not brought up
TO labor I'm the fields
IF supply Of labor Is not furnished
TO the farms the world faces serious
condition for the year 191S-19, one
more serious than my words convey.
Where. then. is this farm labor to
come from?
Many people have advocated the
Introduction of Chinese. If the war Is
10 continue and shortage Of workers
Is going to last. why wouldn't IL he n
good plan to import 100000 or 200, 900
Chinese after the manner set by France
and let them stay in this country for
three or five years?
"The Chinaman. rs Californians tell
us If reliable, industrious and very
capable farmland, probably because
his country has been prominently an
agricultural nation for centuries. II
we do not want them any longer than
the time set, then they can be shipped
back to China under terms that are at
tractive and generous, such as the
French have promised.
"This really seems mt first blush to
be The likeliest solution of our pressing
need of tillers of the soil. We must
not forget that 1t will be long. long
time before we will again have labor
ing on our railroads, working In our
construction gangs at various under
takings, the thousands Of Italians up
on whom we relied down to 1914.
IF the introduction Of the Oriental
is objected to, then why not enlist our
trained farm labor in the National
Guard, retain them In this country for
home defense and hold them where
they can be drawn on promptly for ag-
ricultural purposes, and yet be within
easy reach II they are required for do
nestle military service? In this way
the skilled farmland Is finished

lions are to be needed he should be
used where he can conArlbute most to
the national welfare"

Soldiers Find Texas Cities
Quite Like Those Back Home

Texans are greatly pleased to find
that United States soldiers from the
North and East have SO readily fall
en- into the way of things In the Lone
Star state. The battallons encamped
there are said to express great adj
miratIon for Dallas and other Texas
cities. and to admit that they are
something like the cities back home"
And they are. That Is one OF the
first discoveries made by anyone who
goes from one place to another In the
United States, observes the Christian
Science Monitor. II becomes monot-
onous after while, to find the towns
and cities are much alike. but mod
ernizatlon has largely done the same
kind of things in Europe. Rome is
every year growing to look more like
London. Paris. and New York. Dali
las, Tex, might be situated in Massa-
chusetts. Illinois. Colorado Or Cali
fornIa. without exciting comment. And
yet there was distinctive architecture
in the different sections of the Ameri-
can Union not so many years ago.

ENTERTAINING A GUEST

Shortly before the war a German
naval squadron was visiting Japan
ese port. The admiral and members
of his staff were officially invited to
go over the arsenal. Among other
things they were allowed to see some
of the famous shimose. the Japaoese
high explosive. The admiral, like a
good German, made an opportunity to
steal n handful Of the powder. He
put It in his trousers pocket and found
on returning to HIS ship that his best
gala trousers were ruined, as grains
Of the powder had stained the gar
ments an ugly yellow.
The precious pinch of powder was
sent by special courier from the Ger.
man embassy to Berlin, where IL was
analysed and found to be most lnno-
