Va., March 14.- The Crest of the flood In the Kana wha river reached here this morning with the gauges registering 36 feet and at 9.30 o'clock the United fltntes engineers' office reported the waters had commenced to recede. As there waa no rainfall during the .light in the upper reaches of the stream it was expected the flood would sub side rapidly during the day. The Elk river, which enters the Kanawha here, also began to fall, although reports received from up river points by the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company before its linos went down last night, were to the effect that a large volume of water was yet to come out of that region. The Chesapeake and Ohio and the Coal and Coke railroads were still out of commission and it was ex pected that several days would elapse before full service could be resumed because of slides and wash outs. The only traiiis operating were over the Kanawha and Michigan railroad and service on that line was hampered because ot damaged tracks, * . _ MARCH 14, 1918.

Copies of these in structions can be secured from the \ knitting department. larger needles! are to be used and the nocks are to be knitted loosely. A letter from Mrs. Ilenry B. Coxe, division superintend ent, explains the new ruling. An t excerpt follows: i "Jt is perhaps well to give the i reason for using such large needles and sfrfew as llfty-six stitches which to tho average good socks knitter seems strange. These instructions make a very elastic sock and one. : that will stand the washing It is likely to get by the boy who does j not have his mother at hand to do it! carefully.
