Knitters
Our last shipment of socks and
sweaters has been received at head
quarters and found splendidly done,
with a few exceptions. We have re
ceived a note of thanks for the work
and another set of rules about socks
as they have to measure up to exact
requirements of the Red Cross. We
know too, that the boys cannot work
with their heavy shoes, socks that are
not made perfectly smooth and free
from knots.
Will all knitters please observe the
rules exactly as they come not from
the Coffee county Chapter, but from
higher authority.
NEW RULES

Do not finish toes with knitted o
crocheted ridge. Close toes by weal
ing edges together flat, with a larg
darning needle.
Do not have knots in socks, espe.
ially the toes. To avoid this lay ovr
the wool—splicing it—in other won
this will do away with knots altoget!
