MEASURING KNITTED SCARVES
NEW USE FOR NEWSPAPER
A correspondent, who signs her letter "United V," states that many people who knit scarves for the men of the services have experienced difficulty in making certain that * the scarves are of the required length, and willing workers have felt most un-1 comfortable when they have been told "this scarf is two inches short." "I would suggest that knitters check up on their tape measures," says the writer. "It: is not generally known that many tape measures differ, considerably. I would advise knitters to safeguard themselves from further unpleasantness by using the measure- | ments of this newspaper as a guide, it. is exactly twenty-six inches from top to bottom. The scarf should be made double this length plus three inches to comply with the regulation fifty-five inches. Keep on with the good work. It is a labour of love and hope."
