From Center Of Ball.

There is best way Of winding wool
for knitting and that is the way that
causes the wool to unwind from the
center To do this roll a piece of
stiff paper two and half inches long
by two inches wide into tube. Meas
ure off about eight inches Of wool at
the end and begin winding the rest
about the tube. When enough has
been wound to hold the tube securely
tuck the eight-inch loose end complete
ly into one end of the tube. Do not
cover this end in further winding, but
the other end may be covered. 1t is
best to wind six or eight times in one
direction before turning to wind in
another direction. When the skein is
completely wound tuck the last end
we'll into the ball. Pull out the tube,
bringing with it the long loose end for
knitting. If many balls are wound at
once or If ball is not to be used i'm
mediately it is a good idea to allow
the tube to remain in the ball till
ready for use.

From the Red Cross Bulletin, issued
at Washington, D. c., July 8, the fol-
lowing article appears about the
motor corps service:
more than six thousand women
now are included in the personnel of
the Red Cross motor corps service. AS
a result of a conference recently held
in Washington at the call of the direc-
tor of the bureau of motor corps serv-
ice, the motor service in six of the
principal cities of the country which
previously had been independent in
its organization, was amalgamated
with the Red Cross corps. This makes
the Red Cross motor corps service a
thoroughly cO-Ordinated institution,
able to meet the local and inter-lOcal
demands for transportation through
out the length and breadth of the land
on a natiOnaliZed basis.
The organizations which have be-
come parts of the Red Cross motor
corps service are the motor messenger
service of Philadelphia, the. National
Service league motor corps of Atlanta
the National Service league motor
corps of New York city and Buffalo,
the emergency motor corps of New
Orleans, and the emergency drivers
of Chicago. All these organizations
were represented at the conference by
their commanding officers, who now
become commanders of the Red Cross
motor corps service in their respective
cities. The four independent services
added more than six hundred members
to the motor corps ranks.
In the comparatively few months
during which the national bureau has
been in control of the volunteer mo-
tor corps of the various cities, impor-
tant progress has been made in eff
cacy and uniformity of service. Rules
and requirements have been standard
lied so that those not enthusiastically
sincere in their work find no interest
in the service. Under the conditions
existing certified driver feels pride
in her position.
In conformity with the request Of
the war department the uniform of
Khaki and the insignia formerly en-
ployed have been discarded. The new
regulation uniform of the motor corps

TURNING
POINT IS
REACHED

Omitted Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., April Is.
THE turning point in the west
Is being reached"
The war departments weekly
summary of operations today
voiced this view, adding that the
German has failed ito achieve
victory in the field" and will
soon be compelled to go back to
old tactics, seeking to gain lin
tied detectives"
We must bear in mind that
the enemy is waging a battle of
humiliation to achieve victory, >"
continued the summary.
HE is fighting today with the
sole aim of annihilating the Brit
ish armies. Thus, terrain con-
quered counts for little. If the
enemy can muster the driving
power, he will in all probability
continue his assaults, hoping that
by an enveloping attack on an
oblique front he may score a
complete annihilating victory.
While 1t must be admitted
that German operations since the
beginning of the present Offens-
i've have resulted in more than a
mere blowing up of a part of the
allied trench system and the cap
ture of local detectives along a
wide front, nevertheless the aim
of the German higher command
to obtain a decisive strategic sue
cess by these assaults HAS NOT
BEEN OBTAINED"
The statement pointed out that
the French hold firm along the
important Montdidier-Noyon sec
tor.
In the sectors where our forces
are fighting, considerable activ-
ity prevailed" the statement said,
reviewing the engagements and
pointing out that American casu-
alties have been relatively slight.
Officers here are gratified at the
snap our men have shown and
say that they will continue to give
Fritz all her wants.
The summary's revelations
were supported by other official
information which indicated the
struggle is likely to be long and
bitter, but showed that Gen. Foch
has his troops so disposed that
probably the German will make
little IL any more real progress.
