SOCKS FOR THE TROOPS
A HINT FOR KNITTING VOLUNTEERS. If the women who are knitting socks for the troops would take tho trouble, before lotting them out of their hands, to wash them, they would add trebly to their value (writes a correspondent from Richmond, Neleon). The washing and rubbing with soap flattens out the round threads and weaves, or "wauks" as we say in Scotland, the wool into a compact piece of cloth and makes the sock last out several washings without going in holes. 1 have heard that most of them are sent unwashed, bo I write. The soldiers may as well get them in the most effective form.
