WOULD LET NAVY.
 BUY OWN SUPPLIES
Admiral McGowan Opposes Plan to Let Civilians Do the Pur-
 chasing

Washington, December 11.-Rear. Ad- miral McGowan, paymaster general of the navy, in his annual report today, wig orously defends the navy's centralized purchasing system and urges it's contin- uance without interference from any out side agency created for war purposes. The system. he says, has proved its efficiency under war strain and the task of supplying the navy has been kept up-to date.
 There has been and will continue to be as long as the war lasts" Admiral McGowan declares, "a large number of well meaning, but uninformed per- sons who will naturally indulge In much criticism of government purchasing in general. The navy knows, however, that its own purchasing system is flexible and businesslike and that it has met all de- manks upon it in supplying the needs of the fleet. No test could have been more severe, and no reason exists for changing the system.
 The report indicates that suggestion to group navy purchasing with that for the army, presumably under the supervision of the civilian agencies cre- ated by the council of national defense, was made recently and strongly op- posed by Admiral McGowan, whose po- sition was sustained by Secretary Dan- iels

PRESIDENT URGES
 EVERYONE ID JOIN RED CROSS FORCES
Campaign for Ten Million More Members Will Be
 Started Next Sunday

Washington, December u.-President Wilson has issued a proclamation in which he urged every one not already a member to join the Red Cross during the membership campaign starting next Sunday and continuing until Christmas Eve. In his proclamation the President declares membership in the Red Cross to be a universal patriotic duty at this time, and characterizes such member ship as s'The Christmas spirit in terms of action.'
 With the slogan Make it Red Cross Christmas" an effort will be made to add 100000 new members to the 5,O0O,000 now in the organization. Only one week has been allotted to the intensive drive, but it is expected this will be enough. This is the first organized effort the Red Cross has made to enroll new mem bers since the war started.
 The Presidents appeal is as follows:
 ITO the People of the United States:
 Ten million Americans are invited to join the American Red Cross during the week ending with Christmas Eve. The times require that every branch of our great national effort shall be loyalty upheld and it is peculiarly fitting that at Christmas season the Red Cross should be the branch through which your willingness to help is expressed.
 You should join the American Red Cross because it alone can carry the pledges of Christmas good will to those who are bearing for us the real bur- dens of the world war in the army and n wy and the nations upon whose terri tory the issues of the world war are be- ing fought out. Your evidence of faith in this work is necessary for their heartening and cheer.
 You should join the Red Cross be- cause this arm of the national service is and efficiently maintaining the overseas relief in every suffering land, administering our millions wisely and well and awakening the gratitude of every people. Our conscience will not let us enjoy the Christmas season if this pledge of support to our cause and the worlds veal is left untitled, Red Cross membership is the Christmas spi- it in terms of action.

Penny Pinching Not Always True Economy

I have learned that the intelligent housewife-thew woman schooled in really scien- tc domestic economy-no longer throws away nickel to save penny.~
 A good way to illustrate this point would be through comparison of baking powders.
 Experience has taught me and mill ions of other women that 1t doesn't pay to buy cheap baking powders They cents less but the long they decidedly the expensive Because of the low grade materials employed in their manufacture they many bake day aureand great loss of expensive ingredients. The housewife throws out in wasted materials many times the saved the of the baking pow der. This is not economy, but extravagance.
 True economy in baking powder demands the highest quality at the lowest price. Only baking powders that these demands should Do ued Only baking powder that is made of the highest class ingredients perfectly propooned that only produces maximum leavening power but also t,ss,vss it.
 Besides, the baking powder that meets the modern demand for economy should be economical in use-fu economical in cost secured moderate price, The housewife should be able effect saving when buyng-and another saving when using-and she should save materials it is used with
 That is economy in its highest form. Complete economy. The only kind of econ omy the housewife should attempt.
