NO WOOT,—NO SOCKS! ! A really serious shortage of wool for knitting is being experienced in Wellington at the present time, and if it continues as it is at present it- is possible that there will bo a falling-oil' in tlio supply of socks and balaclavas for the soldiers. A correspondent writes of the matter as Follows: —

A number of lis have been hard at work" knitting socks and balaclavas for our soldiers, but we. have had to buv the wool out of our own pockets, anil it is becoming !oo much of a tax. Now, sir, cannot the Government lind the wool free, or at least at cost price? else many of us _ who are willing and anxious to help will have, to discontinue doing so, as we cannot afford the continual drain on our resources. The •supply of woo! at the Town Hall is now exhausted, and the kind preferred can only he obtained at !)d. a .skein, equalling 2s. Od. a pair of socks. Trusting tluVt tlu< powers that be will see the fairnesd of this suggestion.—"Knitter."
