Knit Socks Large and
Loosely For Soldiers,
Is Plea of Red Cross

Red Cross knitters are urged to
knit socks large and loosely, ac-
cording to new knitting instructions
received at local Red Cross head
quarters in the basement of the
Public Library. Copies of these in
structions can be secured from the
knitting department. Larger needles
are to be used and the socks are to
be knitted loosely. A letter from Mrs.
Henry B. Coke, division superintend-
ent, explains the new ruling. An
excerpt follows:
"It is perhaps we'll to give the
reason for using such large needles
and so few as fifty-six stitches which
to the average good socks knitter
seems strange. These instructions
make very elastic sock and one
that will stand the washing IL is
likely to get by the boy who does
not have his mother at hand to do it
carefully. The tightly knit sock, by
poor washing becomes hard ridged
shrunken article with no elasticity
and no matter how we'll knit it may
be, is of little use if, after the first
washing. it is couple of inches
shorter than the mans foot"

Charlestown, w. Va, March a.
The crest of the flood in the Kama
wha river reached here this morning
with the gauges registering SO feet
and at $40 o'clock the United States
engineers office reported the waters
had commenced to recede. AS there
was no rainfall during the hight in
the upper reaches of the stream it
was expected the flood would sub
side rapidly during the day.
The Elk river. which enters the
Kanawha here, also began to fall,
although reports received from up
river points by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company before
its lines went down last night, were
to the effect that q large volume of
water was yet to come out of that
region.
The Chesapeake and Ohio and the
Coal and Coke railroads were still
out of commission and IL was ex-
pected that several days would
elapse before full service could be
resumed because of slides and wash
outs. The only trains operating were
over the Kanawha and Michigan
railroad and service on that line was
hampered because of damaged

Showing Of Spring Styles

There was plenty of light, heat
and gay raiment in Market street
last night, but mighty few specta-
tors, and the first night of the spring
fashion show was no jubilee. Some
determined citizens braved the
steady downpour of rain to linger in
front of the richly decorated win
dows and they had the advantage of
not being crowded. AS promised by
Fuel Administrator Eickok Eight
less Thursday" was set aside, the
merchants having observed the oc-
casion on Tuesday night. So every
thing was merry and beautiful in
side, but far from agreeable out
side.
To-day the spring sales opened up
swide and despite bad weather the
public turned out in great numbers.
Some merchants were not sorry for
the rain, as it gave them more time
to fully make ready their display.
Saturday promises to be clear and is
expected to be the banner day of
the show.
