ROMANCE GONE
Efficiency Kills Sentiment as
Machine Makes Socks
in Is Minutes.
BY RUTH DUNBAR.

"How snowy white your fingers look
against the scarlet wool I" was the
favorite speech of grandfather when
he was paying suit to grandmother,
who, If history is correct. never al
lowed little things like love and court
ship to distract her mind one minute
| from her knitting.
! The modern young man is robbed of
any opportunity to make these pretty
speeches, for the wool is no longer
scarlet but khaki. Worse YET, the
maiden sits before cold. steel ma
chine and grinds off socks in as many
minutes as it takes hours to knit them
This is what efficiency does to ro-
nance.
In the various Red Cross workrooms
of the New York County Chapter there
are nearly seventy-fve sock machines
Eight of these are in the model work
room at 20 East Thirty-eighth street and
others that have been ordered are held
up by traffic conditions, Here instruc-
tors teach the use of the machine to
Red Cross workers.
A complete pair of socks can be
made on the machine in % minutes.
The machine looks like a cross between
fishing tackle and n pile driver. The
worker threads it through the arm and
carrier on to the threader. The body
of the ma achine Is n circle of needles
bent at the ends like crochet hooks.
Sweaters also are made on the sock
machine, the strips sewed together and
the ribbing at top and bottom knitted
on by hand.
Besides the machines in the Red
Cross workrooms there are many
owned by private individuals or groups
who work at home and donate the re-
suits to the Red Cross. In family

Sends supplies to 1923 French mill
tary hospitals
Provides 2.000 Frenchs hospitals witt
surgical dressings
Is operating go canteens at the from

French railway functions. serving
10000 French soldiers q day.
| Operates a movable hospital In four
units accommodating 1000 men.
Is operating chlldren's refuge In one
| part of the war zone, and in another
medical center and travelling dis.
pensary. both capable of accommo-
dating more than 1000 children.
/ Has opened long chain of ware
houses stocked with hospital sup
plies. food. soldiers comforts. to-
bacco. blankets. ETC., all the way
from the seaboard to the Swiss
frontier.
Has warehouse capacity for 100000
tons
Has 400 motor cars and operates seven
garages, making all repairs.
Has shipped 46 freight car loads OF
assorted supplies to Italy from
France within two weeks after 1t

hospital supplies employing 1000
women.
And that 10000 cases of supplies
have been received at the Paris
headquarters of the American Red
Cross from your various chapters
scattered throughout the United
States.
What does all this mean to you?
And / have told you but fraction of
the work your Red Cross has done
and is doing. 1t means that without
this ceascless, heroic work of the
American Red Cross, we could never
win this war.
Without your Red Cross thousands
in Rumania would have starved to
death.
Without your Red Cross Italy would
never have realized that powerful sup
port of the United States In the hour
of need.
Without your Red Cross thousands |
Of French soldiers now gallantly fight
ing for you at the front would have |
died Of wounds. exposure and lack of |
food.
But now We must all redouble our |
efforts and sacrifices for our Red Cross |
because-a million mothers sons are
going to carry the stars and stripes |
to the greatest victory God has ever
given to men lighting for honor and
liberty.
With the help Of your Red Cross
