In : That the millions of Red Cross knit ters may know the plans of the Red Cross for future Knitting' George E. .Scott, acting managor of the American Red Cross, today issued the following statement: ... - , Wfien . the. War Industries Board some time ago advise"d the Red Cross that future production- of knitting yarn would be greatly reduced, we im mediately commenced to purchase all yarns suitable. for our knitting. ,As a result we have today in stock or on order 1,400,000 pounds of yarn for dis tribution to our chapters. It is hoped that we may obtain some additional yarn from wool unsuitable for govern ment uses. The expected total will, however, be considerably Below the ten mllfftffPirbUnds'Tlsfcd last yefrr. -'While-the total of yarn we can secure is be .ih gi ot3' MIMMj H4V Hfk!

' In this connection it wil be of interest to the women who have been knitting to know that from September 1, 1917, to June 30, 1918, the Red Cross- 'distributed 6,875,000' knitted garments to the army and the navy of -the United..
