pat an end to the troubles the Red
Crocs knitters have been experiencing.
A larre quantity of purs Oregon wool
has been made Into yam by one of the
big mills In the East, and the first ship
ments are coming In. There will soon
be more than enough for everyone.
Experts pronounce Ita quality superior
to the best Eastern wool yarns and far
ahead of the ordinary sort that knitters
acre have been supplied with. Besides,
it will cost no more than the poor
Lantern yarns that have been on sale.
The high prices of some knitting
yerns ani talk of still higher prices
re not Justified. In the opinion of T,
K. Kelt of the Portland Wool Ware
house Company, who has had many
years' experience as a woolen manufac
turer. He said yesterday:
Isaeasttla Is Deaaee4.
"No advance In the price of knitting
yarn has been .occasioned by the In
crease In the cost of wool since July.
The supply of wool hm been ample for
all requirements. The imposition of
worthless yarn upon patriotic knitters
has ben entirely unnecessary, and the
production of sweaters and socks with
Inferior material now declared use
less, as recently announced in news
papers Is wholly without Justification.
"The Uoston Commercial- Bulletin. In
the annual report, shows that the
amount of unsold domestic wool In the
Inlted States on January 1. 1917. was
. 111.314 pounds, while on January 1.
11. there was 6J.1SM12 pounds. The
amount of wool offered to manufac
turers now exceeds that of this time
la yesr by over one million pound
"It is estimated that one-sixth of the
total amount of unsold domestic wool
Is now stored In Portland, not hoarded,

"Recently a buyer for one of the

the face- of reduction In the cost of

papers, commencing on -the amount of

to the alleged shortage of wool and

"The resentment manifest ' in some
quarters by claims that wool - Is
hoarded" in Portland Is occasioned by
the fact that Boston dealers, lose busi

Non-Secretarian Character of
' Erfort In Soldiers' Behalf.
This is the week set aside by the
State Council of Defense for the
Knights of Columbus wsr work fund.
The quota of Portland is J50.000. Gen
eral of the drive la J. D. Farrell, with
Guy W. Talbot and J. E. Coman, as
colonels, and Senator I. N. Day direct
ing field work. Headquarters have
been opened at 228-233 Morgan build
ing. The dates set for the drive are
January 14 to 20.
under the direction and authority
of the War Department and the Navy
Department, the Knights of Columbus
have built and are maintaining 73 halls
for the American soldiers and sailors
in this country and General Pershing
has arranged that this work be ex
tended abroad with the American over
seas forces. To the Knights of Colum
bus and the Y. M. C. A. the Govern
ment has assigned the task of provid
ing recreation centers for the men
within the camps, placing them on an
equal basis and looking to them to
strengthen the morale of the men.
The war work of the Knights of Co-
umbus is nonsectarian. On every build-
ng is the sign, "Everybody Welcome."
No distinction is made as to religious
or other-affiliation. The highest Gov
ernment authorities and innumerable
officers and men in the service have
testified to the practical work of . the
Knights of Columbus. There is noth
ing but harmony and co-operation be
tween the Toung Men's Christian Asso
ciation and the Knights of Columbus,
and the field of endeavor is so vast
that there is no duplication of expense
or effort.
Greater Fund Needed.
Originally the Knights of Columbus
supposed that a recreation hall In each
of the 16 camps would be sufficient,
but the commission of training camp
activities of the War Department urged
that the work be enlarged, and this
necessitated a change in plans and a
larger sum of money. Now the Knights
of Columbus halls are to follow the
American- troops to the western front
under authority of General Pershing.
So rapidly has the undertaking de
veloped that it has been impossible to
arrange for a simultaneous National
drive and each state is taking up the
task on such dates as are designated
by their respective- State Councils of
Defense.
Machinery for the Knights of Colum
bus drive has been quietly assembled
during the pant week, so as not to in
terfere with the success of the drive
for the T. W. C. A., the Fosdick Com
mission and 'the hostess houses. The
organization is now practically com
plete and will be put in motion Monday
night at a dinner held at the Hotel
Portland at 6:15 o'clock, when the cap
tains and team workers of the down
town districts are assembled. The cost
of this dinner does not come out of
the f 0,000, but Is otherwise taken care
of. Every dollar of the Knights of
Columbus war fund goes to direct war
work..
