THE LANDLORDS TROUBLES.
A Man Who Owns House Gets Some
Real Experience in Renting
Them.

The Public Opinion quoted a few
days ago a letter written to news
paper exchange in another town, by
a workingman who could find no
decent place to live in. A man who
owns some real estate and has had
experience in renting houses, writes
to say that there is another side of
this story that should be heard and
considered.
He says that as a whole owners
of dwellings would be glad to keep
their buildings in good condition.
But the responsibility and care
lessness of many tenants is such
that it is very costly to keep rented
houses looking we'll or even sani-
tary.
Many people, if they do not own
the home they live in, are utterly
Indifferent to it's condition. They

the paint. and paper, and scratch
the floors, even If these are made
of nice hard wood and are expen-
sive 10 renew. Everything in the
house suffers from negligence. When
a tenant comes in, either big bill
of repairs must be paid, or the
new man must put up with sloven
ly conditions.
Such tenants do not realize that
their carelessness adds to. the cost
of living. But the damage they do
to their dwellings has to be repair
ed sometime. The landlord takes
lit out in the rent he charges the
next occupant Probably these care

jury done to their quarters by pre-
vious occupants whe were equally
neglectful
When a man rents a place of an
other person, he should take just as
scrupulous care of it as if it were
his own. 1t is not a slight and un-
important matter. II all tenants
would do this, people would put up
more houses, it would be easier for
good homes to be secured, and it
would consequently be easier for
the industries to obtain the best
class of workpeople.

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 co1ored
yarns on No. 3 needles, and after that
they undertake mufflers, 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
Gross chapters. The standardized
Red Cross needles are in three sizes,
and their numbers and sizes are us fol-

Knitting needles, No. 1-135-1 900
inch in diameter.
Knitting needles, No. 2-l75-1 900
finch in diameter.
Knitting needles, No. 3-2OO-1 600
inch in diameter.
The children use No. 3 needles. They
r first taught to least 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

They are taught to splice the yarn

two or three inches long to be darned

avoided. When they have learned to
knit the squares they can take up the
mulilers. Fol- these they must use the

that is sold for army garments, and
one pair Of No. 3 needles. For a muf-
fer 2h hanks of yarn "a pound) are
needed. Cast on 80 stitches Tor Il few

Mothers love to make dainty finery
for their little girls at any season of
the year, but more especially now. at
the season when indoors is more in
viting than outdoors. In the North
the long winter evenings must be filled
somehow and leisurely sewing on pref
ty white clothes is as much pastime
as work. Many mothers count on Jan
uary and February as the time for get
ting the little ones sewing out of the
way, before the approach Of Easter
cOmpels them to give time and attention
to the more important needs Of them
selves.
In January dry goods stores put on
their annual sales of white goods and
present their new-season models in
children's frOcks - assortments are
complete and prices low, so the mer-
chant plays into the hands Of those
patrons who count on making up lin
gerie and children's clothes at this
time. Styles for little folks do not
change much; there is so little room
for improvement in them. We all like
to see the same sheer white fabrics
trimmed with the same simple needle
work, or fine embroidery and lingerie
laces that we have come to associate
always with babyhood.
