In instructing schoolchildren in knit
ting, they must begin with the simplest
things first and advanced to those that
are more difficult, as in anything else.
Some of the schools started out with
the six-inch squares made of colored
yarns on No. 3 needles, and after that
they undertake muffiers, then wristlets.
The squares are used by the Red Cross
by joining them to make small quilts
or coverlets.
Yarn and knitting needles can be
purchased either from stores or Red
Cross chapters. The standardized
Red Cross needles are in three sizes,
and their numbers and sizes are as fol-
lows:
Knitting needles, No. 1%-135-1.0OO
inch in diameter.
Knitting needles, No. 2-175-1,000
inch in diameter.
Knitting needles, No. 3-200-1,000
inch in diameter.
The children use No. 3 needles. They
are first taught to "cast on and to
avoid making their first stitches too
tight. Beginning on the small squares
the children practice until they can
make the stitches even and firm. They
must be taught to pick up a dropped
stitch and sometimes ravel out and re-
knit a square several times. Both
boys and girls like the work.
They are taught to splice the yarn
when it must be joined or to leave ends
two or three inches long to be Garned
In. Al knots and ridges are TO be
avoided. When they have lessaed to
knit the squares they can take up the
mufiers. For these they must use the
regulation gray II khaki colored yarn
that Is sold for army garments, and
one pair of No. 8 needles. For a muf-

Sewing Hint.

AS washgoods shrink mostly in
length, when making a dress or aprons,
allow for a very wide hem at the bot
tom and blind basic the hem until
ready for the first wash. Then pull out
the basting and, after ironing, meas
ure the proper length and stitch the
hem. BY blind stitch is meant to haste
on wrong side a tgifle closer than or
binary basting, leaving the stitches on
right side barely noticeable. In maxi
ing clothes of worsted that are likely
to need altering in length make q deep
hem at bottom and run a tuck by
hand in the hem on wrong side. It
will never be noticed, and when 1t
needs altering it Is easy to take out
the tuck and press the hem.

she had been boarding her dimes ana

was scarcely enough. Nevertheless
she started She walked the first

Gus.
When the United States entered
the great war the Young Womens
Christian Association was, as always,
working among women. With the
call to new duties its members did
not abandon their old responsibilities,
The War Work Council was formed
as an emergency measure to take
care Of the women who we're caught
in some of the mazes Of war, just as
the parent organization has taken
care Of them through many years OF
peace. The varied activities decided
upon by the War Work Council fol-
low closely the needs OF the differ
ent communities of the country. Sec
retaries trained in the methods OF
the organization were sent out
broadcast. They we're instructed to
report to the National Board of the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
tons in New York the lines of work
which could be best followed in this
various localities. These secretaries
work in close cooperation with min
listers, women's clubs, chambers OF
commerce, churches, military officials,
and charitable societies. The rec
ord of a days doings Of a secretary
reads like a novel, an economic
realise, and psychological essay
al compressed into line-a-dsy entry.
A secretary sent out by the War
Work Council must be equal to any
emergency. Miss Lillian Hull at Chill
licothe, close by Camp Sherman, huI-
rying along the street at nigbtfall
came upon a forlorn couple. A Fin
nish soldier had found job for his
wife, so that she might come on
rom Cleveland. When she arrived
she was refused the place because
she spoke no English. Their money
had been all spent on the railroad
fare,l and the soldier was due back
at Camp The situation was bad.
