be used on a knit sweater so il is
almost impossible to see the mend.
In mending wool material use the
yarn pulled from the cloth itself,
and weave in and out so that it
looks as nearly like the original ma
terial as possible. Light thread
shows the darn more than a dark
thread, so keep this in mind when
using thread in place Of pulled yarn.

If you think the rationing pro-
gram has been complicated just wait
until rationing book No. 2 is passed
out. It is set up on the point sys-
tenn. The different classes of food
will each have a different point
value. The scarcer foods will re-
quire more points, and the more
plentiful ones less points. BY only
the less scare items one can get a
greater quantity of food for his
points. The points have nothing to
do with the relative nourishing val
lie of foods. They are only concern
ed with whether a food is scarce or
plentiful. No points will be required
for the purchase of fresh fruits or
vegetables. After the food is pur-
chased it will then be up to the
housewife to allot it in such a way
that it will last until the next series
Of stamps is valid. If one eats up
his allotment the first three weeks
of the month he may have to go on
a diet the last week or until the
next series of stamps are good.

Clothing Situation

American families are ready to &C
cept and adjust themselves to
changes which may come. Occas-
ionally, goods and services will be
plentiful: more often scarce. Care
full use of goods in spite of temper
airy adequate supply is absolutely
necessary in long war.
There will be enough clothing to
meet essential needs, but not enough
for luxury and certain habitual
needs. Some scarcities may be ex-
pected because of shortage Of raw
materials, of strain on productive
capacity, and Of the imports may be
plenty or scarce, depending on where
our ships go and what they will
carry on return.
Wool will be blended with other
fibers to make it go as far as pos
sible. The domestic wool clip will
be less than half of the total needs
of 1913, and yet this years wool clip
will be the largest known. Between
the Army and Navy, and lend-lease
rs per cent of the wool is taken, so
the civilian will do without or use
some other fibre.
The United States has a large
supply of raw cotton on hand and
the coming crop assures this coun-
try of a supply of spinnable fibre
that will be sufficient for all pre-
dictable cotton manufacturing ac-
tivity. This doesn't mean that there
will be enough for all purposes.
Civilians shall not have much Of
the fine goods, nor the variety and
quality in construction and finish,
but the probabilities are that we
shall have fairly durable fabrics,
well-finished and styled,
that will serve our every day needs.
are that the civilians will
have at their disposal considerable
less cotton yardage than they had
