MEN KNITTING
SAME AS WOMEN
Men Call at Headquarter! (or Yarn
and Conductors Knit Between
Stations
That English or Ueruiun or Itallun
or French woiuan wo remember ul
wavs Madame Defarge and her
friends In Dickens' "Talc of Two
Cities." knitting menacingly thru
the French revolution should t:tko
to this most domestic of activities
M'cms natural enough. hut that the
volatile American woman should
dedicate herself so enthusiastically
to the ancieut and houorublo game
of the needles must be an exquisitely
soothing sight to the harassed men
of the country who so consistently
expected the worst of their women
kind. Once more tho American
womnu, ungallantly styled the "Am
erican Peril" by Mr. Michael Moti
;ihnn, has proven her well earned
title to adaptability.
Hut of course while subscribing
to the basic luws of the art of knit
ting. the American woman puts her
own cachet on her work. She knits
nftcr her own fashion and with her
national Impcrloslty. She knits with
an eclat, a fervor, a publicity, which
we believe to be without parallel
In tho history of all tlmo. That
feminine energy, translated Into
terms of knitting, means millions ?
literally of useful gurments for our
Mddicrs and sailors.
American social leaders may be
seen utmost anywhere, at any hour
of the day or night purling or rib
bing or casting off or on. Young
people, to whom hand knitting was
a tradition of pioneer days,, have
taken to tho art like the proverbial
duck to water, and promenado the
streets weighted down with onor
mously and guyly colored work bags
outulnlng embryonic knitted gar
ments for the comfort of the boys
at the front.
Hitherto severe anil unyleldliiK
high-church clorgy reconcile war
.uul Christianity by sanctioning
knitting during the sermon, and the
hank of yarn and long hone needles
now ko decorously to service. Even
the subdued light of the "movies"
offers no obstacle to the expert
weaver of socks, and while fascin
ated eyes follow the chaotic for
' incs of screen stars, nimble flnsers
rontlniie agilely to manipulate the
white needles festooned with loops
of icray ynrn.
It Is Indeed obvious that knitting
has its own potont. If unexciting
fascinations. Women are continually
telliiiK you plaintively that, once
started on a piece of work, they
"can't put It down." And history
teaches us that it Is not only wo
men who experience tho thraldom
of the art of knitting. Man has,
from time to time, shown himself
covetous of womun's theoretically
exclusive prerogative of wielding
the reedlcs.
In some Juvenile book whose title
now escapes me, but whose delight
ful content still lingers faithfully
In my memory, 1 recall a picture
which never failed to arouse my
childish wonder and Interost. It was
of a villainous-looking, black-beard
ed oltl sea-dog. whose ono fierce eye
the artist had now tactfuMy suffused
with sentiment and upon whose once
cruel mouth now played a smile of
exquisite sweetness, peacefully and
laboriously knitting. Under the
pictures was the legend: Tho Re
formed Pirate Knits Tidies.
Little did I dream In those day*,
of seeing men stroll Into Red Cross
headquarters and demand a quota
of yarn from which to evolve a
sweater during long evenings at
home, or gazing upon athletic rail
road conductors capably and uuos
tatiously knitting between stations.
Yet such sights are not rare these
war-like days. ? The Point of View.

Salvage from
the battlefie!ds==
The Allied armies find it very profitable to salvage scrap from
the battlefields. Great Britain is saving millions every year
from this thrifty practice.
If wc could extend this practice to the United States ? if we
saved only the waste and needless spending of every day and
put the caving into War Savings Stamps, it would help to win the
great war.
