"Unto t I ONE WAV THE ID 1,000 Ragged, ; Dail; m At the first onslaught of the Huns, before the French were able to withstand their Invasion, the Kaiser secured a goodly section of France. With the captured cities and villages lie acquired many thousands of Frenchmen. True to all the rules of Teutonic afldency, the noble German worked and starved these French close to the point of death, then saw to it that an Impressive number of them "caught" tuberculosis and finally sent these poor wrecks back to burden France. It has taken the Kaiser from two to ibree years to suck the healthy blood Srom the veins of these sturdy rural JVench, but now he is sending them $*ck at the rate of about 1.000 a day.

By RUTH DUNBAR. i "How. snowy white your fingers look | gainst the scarlet wool!" was the fkvorite speech of grandfather when be was paying suit to grandmother, Who, if history is correct, never allowed little- things like love and courtafcip to distract her mind one minute from her knitting. The modern young man Is robbed of MBy opportunity to make these pretty speeches, for the wool is no longer Hiit khaki Worse vet. th? maiden sits before a cold, steel machine and grinds of? socks in as many minutes as it takes hours to knit them. This is what efficiency does to romance. Id the varices Red Cross workrooms of the New York County Chapter there are nearly seventy-five sock machines. ESght of these are in the model workloom at 20 EastThirty-eighth street and others that have been ordered are held *p by traffic conditions. Here instructors teach the use of the machine to Bed Cross workers. A complete pair of socks can be made on the machine in 25 minutes. The machine looks like a cross between Ashing tackle and a pile driver. The Worker threads it through the arm and carrier on to the threader. The body of the machine is a circle of needles bent at the ends like crochet hooks. Sweat'ers also are made on the sock ^pttchine; the strips sewed together and "Ame 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 results to the Red Cross. In a family hotel, for instance, four or five women can club together and buy a machine. >f >?ercy drawn through \ J J f tlnypeakciMe Fain ^ 'j^ | ! * * he Least of 1 ^ ^ ^ " Co^ RED CROSS HA DEFEAT THE Kj Sick and Homel< y Dumped at Evi shipments.
