First, the wholesale voluntary

Second, the splendid record of

the third fact, that the Government

TELLS Of VISIT

Mrs. Gamble Acquires Valua-
bile information.

Following is the report made by
Mrs. Gamble, supervisor of knitting
of the local chapter Red Cross rel
alive to her recent visit to Wash
ineton: ..e4
q feel sure our Red Cross Chap
ter here will be interested in hear
ing little about my visit Tuesday
to the Potomac Division in Wash

was reteiSed most cordially by
the hleads,,s'bri their assistants and
although q busy. army Of workers,
my questions were given strict at,
tention. a ssisr.ia ST. ~ IN
The first 7smatter taken up was
whether, vie could substitute the
mill socks fof handtknit ones in or
Ger to help out our quota of 500
pairs which they asked if we could
do 1t is impossible to do that as.
they are not heavy enough and
strong enough for the hard strain
and wear of the soldier, SO pledg-
ed that 100 sweaters, 100 pairs Of
socks, WITH as many more as we
can possibly knit by September 1, =.
Next question was do they really
want us To- put, III the little touch of
color or would they rather we did
not do so. The answer was it is not
necessary, at.vall as there was no
foundation for the union that the
soldiers, were superstitious, but II 1t
was done, 1t unjust be just a touch
LOT some good fast color at the top
Of the socksE nothing must be put in
tthe foot, ,fpg VIZ. cannot risk any
chance of poisoning the soldiers
feet-several pairs could not be
used becausel Of green heels and
toes.
L Next question was has any chap
ter the night to furnish sweaters,
socks, or any knitted garments to
their town boys direct from the 10,
cal Red Cross fund or even a spe-
cial fund? The answer was most
| emphatic "No,"-as that has caus-
ed them untold worry and even dis
tress as keeping back such guam
tity from headquarters lessened the
supply to such an extent that many
of the boys could not be supplied
and great many of those who re-
cefved sweaters in that way had a
surplus and sold them. They con-
graduated our chapter on standing
Arm and not breaking the rules so
| am sure we all feel glad we are
good soldiers and obey orders. 4
j then went to the office of Mrs.
White. the division fIss;,rsger to find
7out if there was AIRY objection to
any auxiliary givin4s beneffts, enter
stainments, etc, for the Red Cross.
the answer was Under tlo circum-
stances mus anything BE given for
the Red Cross without permission
of the local chapter and If the chap
ter gives consent the benefit must
be exclusively for the Red Cross.
lsheuld like to take this oppor-
'ta:.t Il ;sks'alE ofsour knitters to-
report what they can do in helping
to fill our QUOTA for we must keep
the home fires burning" in every
way we can fors those of our brave
boys who will come back to us and

word to us from "over there" Don't
