KNIT MORE CAREFULLY

Our attention has been called bv
Washington to the following condi-
tons in the knitting of socks, hich
should be remedied without delay by
the Chapter:
Socks which are under 10 1-2 in
ches are being passed through in, pee
ton rooms. This must not be, as
socks under that size are not large
enough for use in the army. Also
il at least so per cent of the socks
knitters are not counting the rows
and Therefore are not making their
socks alike, or they are not careful
in the washing, to see that the socks
are stretched the same size.
We have also occasionally founc
colored toes in the socks. In some cas-
es, the Chapter labels are being put
on without first stretching the cuffs
threby leaving the part of the cuff
under the label i.1flexible.
In most cases, the knitting is beau.

All these "dope sheets" fail to take
