KITCHENER TOE
TAUGHT BT TOE
LOCALCHAPTER
The women of America as they
work day after day making surgical
dressings, sewing on hospital gar
ments and knitting socks and sweat
ers, form a part of the great army
of defence against the unspeakable
evil which threatens the world. This
reserve army, like any other army,
to be most efficient must lay aside
all individual opinions and prefer
ences and even the habits of many
years. Here a peculiar thing appears.
It might be expected that in all this
mighty army of men and women, old
and young, some would rebel and re
fuse, but it is hot young blood that
refuses to get into line? We are forced
to report1 to the contrary.
While our young men go into the
camps and cantonments and to the
front, submitting themselves to every
detail of discipline and our young
women make surgical dressings and
hospital garments, every fold and hem
and tape according to the rules laid
down, how is it that the Mothers of
Israel can refuse to do their part ex
cept in their owm way and according
to their o\Vn family? No matter if
they did knit for the boys in '61 and
their families ever since. Conditions
to be met today are entirely differ
ent, and all equipment must suffer
change to correspond. These good
women will surely get in line, but they
are slow about it.
The quality of the knitting work re
ceived at the supply warehouse of the
northwest division has improved
greatly in the past six months, but
the toes of the socks do not improve
as they should. It is possible to make
a good toe which is not a Kitchener
toe but at least one-fourth of those
received at the warehouse not having
the Kitchener finish have lumps and
ridges calculated to make blisters on
soldiers’ feet. As about forty j>er cent
of socks received do not have the
Kitchener toe this means that out of
the 75,000 pairs of socks to be furn
ished by the northwest division before
July 20, 7,500 will have bad toes.
This must not be. To avoid it the
northwest division insists that every
sock shall have a Kitchener toe and
that every knitter shall be a good sol
dier and do as the Red Cross asks for
the duration of the war.
Socks should be eleven inches from
edge to the beginning of the heel. The
heel may be either the strap or tri
angular kind.
Fancy striping in the cuffs of socks
is to be recommended for three rea
sons: It relieves the tedium of the
work, enables the knitter to use up
odd bits of sock yarn and helps the
soldier to keep his socks properly
mated. However, no bright-colored
yarn should be used for this purpose,
nor in fact anything but regular sock
yarn such as white and various other
shades of gray.
The soldiers are often wet to the
knees for many hours and the water
soaked skin is likely to absorb any
free dye. The soldier must take
chances enough without being com
pelled to take any unnecessary ones.
So long as there are plenty of hand
knitters to make all the socks allotted
to this division and for which yarn
can be obtained the purchase of ma.
chines is not being urged. The sol
dier who receives a pair of hand knit
socks is a little more fortunate than
the one who receives machine made
ones.

ener can meet with Mrs. Day at the
headquarters on Saturday afternoon.

LONDON, June 18.—The house of
commons was thrilled the other night
by a recital of heroism by London
women munition workers who saved
•their plant from destruction by fire.
A shed filled with live cartridges
and cartridge paper was burning.
Twenty women workers who had re
ceived some fire-drill training rushed
to their posts, though warned by a
number of men of the danger and
urged to leave. They kept the blaze
down until city firemen had arrived.

Cooperation in all local food con
servation programs and with all food
saving organizations and committees
is absolutely necesaary at this time.
^ e must cooperate and do our part to
the limit. No sacrifice that can be
made is too great.
