ROMANCE GONE
Efficiency Kills Sentiment as
Machine Makes Socks
in Is Minutes.
BY RUTH DUNBAR.

/ "How snowy white your fingers look
against the scarlet wool r. was the
favorite speech of grandfather when
he was paying suit to grandmother
who, II history is correct, never al
lowed little things like love and court
ship to distract her mind one minute
from her knitting.
The modern young man is robbed of
any opportunity to make these pretty
speeches, for the wool is no longer
scarlet but khaki Worse yet, the
maiden sits before a cold, steel ma
chine and grinds off socks in as many
minutes as 1t takes hours to knit them.
This is what efficiency does to ro-
nance.
In the various Red Cross workrooms
of the New York County Chapter there
are nearly seventy-fve sock machines.
Eight of these are in the model work
room at 20 East tThirty-eighth street and
others that have been ordered are held
up by traffic conditions. Here instruc-
tors teach the use OF the machine TO
Red Cross workers.
A complete pair OF socks can be
made on the machine In 25 minutes.
The machine looks like a cross between
fishing Tickle and pile driver. The
worker threads It through the arm and
carrier on TO the threader. The body
of the machine Is circle OF needles
bent at the ends like crochet books.
Sweaters also are made on the sock
the strips sewed together and
the ribbing at top and bottom knitted
on by hand.
Besides the machines in the Red
Cross workroons there are many
owned by private individuals or groups
who work at home and donate the re-
suits to the Red Cross. In family
hotel. for instance. four or tive women /
can club together and buy machine. I

Billy Jones
By
WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

Billy Jones-maybe your son or the
son Of a nelghbor-was in the front
line trenches in France when the Ger
man bombing party was driven back
His enthusiasm to get the Boches car
ried him over the top of the TRENCH,
and at the edge OF No Mans Land q
Hun bullet got him.
A comrade-maybe your boy-crawl-
ed out into No Mans Land and brought
Billy Jones back to the American
trenches.
Other comrades carried him back
through the maze of trenches to a
dressing station, where his wound was
cared for.
A medical department ambulance
carried him on to the field hospital.
From there Billy Jones was taken to
the base hospital, and there a Red
Cross nurse-your Red Cross nurse
Is tenderly, caref lilly, smilingly nursing
him back TO health again so that he
may not have to pay the extreme sac
rifice that ve-that you and and our
neighbors-may enjoy the blessings OF
freedom.
There are half a million Of these
boys Of ours IN France today and
more going "over fhcrc" every week.

conflict Of the world with the brutal
forces Of autocracy hat democracy
