If each chapter could do its own repairing before shipping to us-, the socks would reach France much more quickly.

In looking carefully over 100 pairs of socks recently, every sock toeing turned, -25 pairs were found which needed no attention. The other 75 pairs had knots, loose ends which had not 'been properly darned in or hard ridges on the side of heel, caused by picking up the wrong stitches.

Some had been cast on so tightly that the sock could scarcely 'be turned without breaking stitches. A num'ber will have to be entirely ravelled and re- knit because too fine needles had been used, making the sock so small that it could scarcely 'be pulled on a lady's foot who wears a No. shoe. The toes of some must be ravelled and the foot lengthened, many measuring less than 1-0 inches. Mrs.

Okey, with the assistance of several ladies, is to put these socks in shape for the soldiers to wear. She urges every knitter in the county from now on to conscientiously avoid the things which go to make an imperfect sock. In conversation with a man who has been supply sergeant of one of the 'batteries at Camp Dodge and through whose hands Red Cross supplies have passed, these ifacts were ascertained: A 10-inch pair of socks cannot be worn after a single washing such as they receive at camp toy a man with an average sized foot. An 11-inch sock should he smallest size made. The men always choose- the large ones, as they wear the heavier socks over lighter weight ones.

The shoes are so heavy and rough that the more sock a man has the more comfortable his feet are. So don't he afraid of knitting too large, or at least too long socks. One auxiliary knitting superintendent found that 22 pairs of socks turned in measured only 10 inches. That superintendent, who by the way, would make a good soldier, is with the help of others, ravelling out the toea of these 44 socks and knitting them to measure 12 inches. Much time and labor will 'be saved if each knitter will follow these rules: 1.

Never tie a fenot in a sock. If a rough place is found in the yarn break and splice by lapping ends for ahout six or eight inches, then about two or three inches from end knit both threads for 4 to 6 stitches. After sock is finished dam loose ends in. 2. 'Make splices on top of foot or hi leg even a few inches of yarn are thus wasted.

3. In picking up stitches on right and left side of heel always pick up back loop on wrong side of sock, thus avoiding a hard, uncomfortable ridge. Follow directions minutely for Kitchener toe. Tlie result will 'be a soft finish which will look as though the knitting had gone right over the end of the toe. There will be no ridge at all.

5. Do not use needles smaller than No. 12. Nos. 11 or 10 are preferable.

No. 11 is best. C. Be sure to cast on loosely so the top of the sock will not bind the leg. 7.

For an 11-inch sock, knit until foot measures inches from back of heel to where narrowing 'begins. 8. Foot of sock should measure 11 inches or more in length and not less than 4 in breadth. 9. Wash socks before handing them in.
