Here are the "dont's" and "do's" Issued by the Red Cross for knitters: Don't Cast on Tighter.

In setting up a sock the casting on should never be done tightly. An otherwise well knitted sock may become useless by a tight cord at the top. The top of a sock should be large etiough to stretch over a cardboard seven inches long.

Don't Knot Your Wool.

Join the ends by running one end into thi other with a darning needle for about six inches. Finish off threads on wrong side by manning thread with darning needle through a bias run ot stitches in two or more opposite directions. Don't Make Heel With Seem on Sole.

Remember, a man may not have a chance to change his socks for many clays, and a lump or knot brings a blister. If the blister breaks blood poisoning may set in and result in the loss of a foot or even a life, "tffe cannot afford to lose our men through negligence or ignorance. Don't Fail to Make the Kitchener Toe.

This has been proved to be the best toe for men In service. In weaving off the Kitchener toe, be sure and always keep yarn under the knitting needles, not on top of needlea.

POLICE LIQUOR STOCK CUT DOWN 92 PINTS

Chief Says Judge Didn't Know It Was Already In Federal Court's Custody.

An order given Monday by Judge Paul R. Shafer for the destruction of the 92 pints of whiskey taken from Winifred James recently, has not been carried out nor will it be by the local officials, for the reason that the said 92 pints are no longer within aocess of the local police officials. James, who was arrested on a charge of violating the federal liquor law, has entered a Plea of guilty and was taken to Indianapolis several days ago.

The liquor in question was also taken at the same time and when the order for the destruction was given, the judgo was informed by Chief of Police Jack Beattie, that it had already been disposed of as far as the local officials were concerned. Forty quarts of liquor belonging to Frank Jackson, the former West Terre Haute saloon keeper who entered a plea of guilty to violating the state liquor law several days ago and who is serving a sentence on the state penal ^arm for his law violation, was ordered confiscated by Judge Shafer. The whiskey taken from .Jackson is stored safely at the city hall and will probably be given to one of the hospitals.

Five cases of champagne, recently taken from the William Henry road house east of the city, are still being held at the city hall.
