probably twice .than much.
Formerly there k was absolutely no

stopped. Now ther is ready cash foi

is as staple as wheat in the west. The

NEVER STOP KNITTING
The question as to whether Amer
ican women are doing a good work in
knitting sweaters, mufflers, wristlets,
ete for the soldiers, seems pretty
weli covered by the following from
the St. Petersburg Independent:
More About Sweaters
Members of the local Red Cros
chapter who have labored hard all
summer and fall to make sweaters
for the soldiers and sailors, were
righteously indignant that Secretary
Baker and Secretary Daniels should
say that the work they have been do doing
ing doing is not necessary. The ladies have
given their time and energy and
money to, the cause and they resented
criticism. There has been in the
country considerable debate over the
sweater question and to determine
whether or not the energies of the
women are being used in the wrong
direction, the New York Tribune sent
one of its staff reporters to Washing Washington
ton Washington to talk with Secretary Baker and
Secretary -Daniels. The interviews
published in the Independent yester yesterday
day yesterday were given to the Tribune re
porter. It is not at all probable that
the officials were misquoted. The in-j
terviews appeared last Thursday.
Since, then, in the Official Bulletin of
Saturday, : Secretary Baker has this
statement:,
"Ah apparent misunderstanding
has arisen in some quarters regard regarding
ing regarding the attitude of the war depart-
ment toward the knitting of sweaters
and comforts for our soldiers. The
department Jias in no sense discour discouraged
aged discouraged .the furnishing of such gar garments
ments garments through" tbe American Red
Cross and is appreciative of the spirit
which" prompts American women in
their knitting for the troops. It is
true that a sweater, is not included, in
the regular equipment of the army
and it .is not regarded as an abso
lutely essential garment. However,
a knitted "sweater is a garment of
great serviceability and constitutes a
welcome addition to a soldier's equip
ment, particularly when the soldier
is "bp duty in the rigorous climate of
France While the department itself
has not officially called upon any or
ganization to supply sweaters, cer
tain divisions of the army have, made
such requisitions and have been
gratified that the supply was avail available
able available The work of American women
who desire to add this comfortable
article" to the clothing supplied the
soldier by the war department v is
worthy of encouragement,"
WWTL- 'ITa I'm. iA '"' X JJ-J X
inis siaiement was mienaea to
tone own the statement given to the
Tribune, .but in the, mam it is about
what the i; secretary said in the Tri-
oune. -.lie is rat-nex, DacKing up in nis
second, statement, realizing that he
would stir up a lot of trouble by his
first statement.
Coming I on 1 top of Secretary Dan-
iels' and Secretary Baker's state statements"
ments" statements" came an urgent appeal to the
womep pfhe country, for more knit knitted
ted knitted sweaters spcks and wristlets for
tho soldiers and sailors. This was
issued by the Red Cross War Council
in a statement disclosing that the
Red Cross has been obliged to buy
half a million machine-made sweat
ers to meet immediate "demands.
"It is imperative that all of the
sweaters, -wristlets and socks that
can ; possibly vbe made by the women
of the country should be turned in to
the supply department at the earliest
possible date. With the cold weathei
coming on, the demand for sweaters,
especially, has been beyond the ca
pacity of all our resources to supply.
The requests of our organization in
France for .sweaters and knitted
goods have had to remain unsatisfied
on account of our inability to secure
enough for men in our own army and

fine record, and we think it is up to
them to make amends to the city
which entrusted them with its work.
BUSINESS HOUSES

It's the Star's opinion that it would
be most appropriate and salubrious
for all our business houses, except of
course, eating places and refresh refreshment
ment refreshment stands, to close on Thanksgiv Thanksgiving
ing Thanksgiving day. It wouldn't hurt them to
close all day, and at the least they
should shut their doors at noon or 1

employes will have to see the .fair,
and all should see it. We understand
a paper asking the different houses
to close, will be circulated, and we
hope it will be unanimously signed.

It happens that he lives right where
the greatest volume of the noise
strikes, and it is most distressing to
any nervous person. It hasn't the
rhythm of regularly running machin

accustom the ear to its noise, but is
a succession of staccato reports,
which tno hearing. can become used to.
Still, we don t think Mr. Harris is
entirely fair to the council. His ut utterances,

now keeping it running in gross dis disregard

Perhaps he hasn't intended to give

his paper reads. We think that
common fairness demands that he
state the truth, which is that no mem member
ber member of the council knew the engine's
failing until.it was first used; also,
that during the greater part of the
time since it commenced to operate
it has been necessary to either use
the engine or let. the city go in dark

paper anywhere that the council is
doing everything in its power to have
the trouble corrected tho he could
have found out that it was by a few
minutes talk with the. councilmen or
the superintendent. .. There has never
been in his paper a word about the
loss of an important part of the
steam engine, of the amval of an ex
pert from the De La Vergne plant, ot
the preparations made to muffle the
engine as soon as it caiybe kept still
long enough, of the great difficulty to
obtain wood or any of the other
things, which should-be printed as
news, if not in justice to the council.
Annoying as the noise made .by the
engine is, the council Has at least an
other matter to consider, and that is
lighting the city. It can't iffprd to
have the town plunged jn darkness,
and we dont think that even tfye peo

down when there is no other engine
to take its place, not only, light, but
power would be cut off. For one

The Florentine Musicians
Andrew JVissochi heads the Floren Florentine
tine Florentine Musicians, the attractive musical
organization to be heard at the Tem Temple
ple Temple tomorrow night. Not long since
the Florentines appeared at Fayette Fayette-ville,
ville, Fayette-ville, Ohio, and thisis, the report
turned in on Vissochil
"Andrew Vissochi, performer on
the concert accordion, is a rather
small Italian with a large gift for
music. What shall we say of him?
It is as difficult to give a just crit criticism
icism criticism of him as it is for a Tar Heel
to pronounce his name. He comes
upon the stage having strapped to
his body a musical instrument which
looks like a miniature piano or a
mammoth accordion. When he be begins
gins begins to manipulate it, he becomes a
Sousa playing crashing marches, cor cornet
net cornet solos, trombone solos; he change
to a Verdi banging out the 'Anvil
Chorus,' wailing the 'Miserere,' play playing
ing playing sweet Italian melodies; then he is
the messenger bringing back the old
Southern songs, 'Massa's in the Cold,
Cold Ground,' 'Old Black Joe,' etc.;
now he is the modern performer,
grinding out with rythm and flow
that one never thought was in them
the ragtime pieces. Vissochi, with
his accordian, becomes an animated
ensemble of staccatos, andantes,
larghettos, allegrettos, fortissimos,
sharps and flats, naturals and inci incidentals,
dentals, incidentals, minors and majors, and all
things else in the gamut of musical
expression that haven't gone out of
style. And he passes it out to his
hearers with an evident relish and a
light upon his Florentine countenance
that gives added zest to those drink drinking
ing drinking the melody. Unlike the ladies of
his company, Vissochi cannot be said
to be pretty or handsome, but in his
face are cut deeply the lines of fine
humor, and out of his dark eyes there
beams kindliness, as if Italia's golden

"Fools for Luck"
"Fools for Luck" is to be the best
picture shown at the Temple this
week, so if you can't go to the "whole
six, choose "Fools for Luck." It is a
photo comedy adapted from Kenneth
Harris' "Talisman," which ran in the
Saturday Evenine Post. It is a storv
of good luck, bad luck, love and other i
things. If you are not a bit super superstitious,
stitious, superstitious, please pass quietly out (for
you won't think it as funny as it will
be to superstitious people) and maybe
the people at the box offi will give
you your money back maybe. There
is a gratifying pleased feeling in
one's breast to watch the self -redemption
of Philander, who had been
a firfn believer in rabbit's foot and
other good luck charms. He gets
down to bedrock and builds the foun foundation
dation foundation of character on his best ef efforts,
forts, efforts, and we see him throw away his
gambling friends and get down heart
and soul to his job. This splendid
picture stars Taylor Holmes and the
incidents in his life will remind you
of those-in your life or in the lives of
your friends.
