The Givers

I'm proud of all my fellow
men; they dig, and dig and dig
again, to help each worthy
cause; they are a credit to the
race; they shell out coin with
prirfcely grace, like Col. Santa
Claus. One "drive" comes on
another's heels, and we are
asked for many wheels, that we
may squelch the Hun; and men
who haven't much to spare,
whose shelves are, peradventure,
bare, keep digging up the mon.
We have to cut out this or that,
car, a picnic, or hat, that we
may buy a stamp; we have to
make the kind of noise one
makes when helping out the
boys in far-off field and camp.
The man who earns his meager
pay by toll so hard it makes him
gray, will split his little pile; the
woman who goes out to scrub,
or works around a steaming tub,
chips in, with beaming smile. l
know a man who wrought for
years like Adams yoke of sorrel
steers, that he might own his
shack at last, the final payment
made, he wept some joyous
tears and laid the burden from
his back. And then upon his
mind it dawned that every man
should buy a bond, and in our
struggles share; and so he
sought the loan graft men, and
put the mortgage on again, and
laughed to see it there. The
proper spirit is abroad; no loyal
man will hide his wad, while
there's Hun about; we do not
contemplate a strike; the more
we give the more we like this
thing of shelling out.

DRAFT NOT NEEDED
T0RECRU|T NAVY
Present Force Of 100000
Suffices, and More Are
Easily Obtainable.
VIEW OF ADMIRAL PALMER

Extension Of the draft system to the
Navy is not regarded as necessary at
this time by the Navy Department
Rear Admiral Palmer, chief Of the
bureau of navigation. told the Senate
military committee today the Navy
has practically all the men it needs
and that enlistments would not be af-
fected by changing the Army draft
ages. Enlistments in the Navy now
total approximately $1,000 men, said
Admiral Palmer.
Speaks for Secretary Daniels.
He represented Secretary Daniels
before the committee. In response to
la request that a representative OF the
Navy advise the committee regarding
the advisability of amending the
pending administration man-power
bill so as to apply the draft system
alike to the Army and Navy.
Admiral Palmer explained that en-
listments in the Navy just now are
principally to provide crews for the
merchant marine. and that about 200.-
900 men have been accepted for that
enacted, he said. the Navy would have
no difficulty in recruiting $4,000 men
a month for the merchant marine and
for other purposes.
The Navy Department Is already
working in conjunction with the War
Department regarding enlistments, the
committee was told. and will continue
to do SO. whatever may be done about
the draft ages.

Believed to Be Fair Showing.

1t is believed that this gives a fair
comparison with the benefit of the
doubt given to Washington dealers
since. if directly proportional de-
crease was made, it would be one
third. The prevailing price for the
three-quarter-pound loaf in Washing
ton was only one cent lower than the
prevailing price for the one-pound
loaf in Baltimore
In the group made up of dairy prod
ucts and eggs the differences in
prices in the two cities were practi-
cally negligible, amounting in no
case to more than one cent on the
relatively high prevailing price.
In the fresh beef, fresh lamb and
poultry groups Washington prices
were higher than Baltimore prices
Tor seven of the eight items on which
information was collected, and the
same on one item In no case were
the Washington prices lower. The
amount by which the Washington
price was higher ranged from l2H
per cent for fresh killed hens to 81
per cent for sirloin steak.

The outstanding facts brought out
by this comparison shows that WASH

tatoes and practically the entire fresh
meat group except pork chops. In
other groups of foods the price diff
ferences seemed less consistent
The report shows that Washington
was higher by a cent a loaf on bread
and by half cent pound on po-
tatoes. By the peck the prevailing
price In Washington was III cents
higher than in Baltimore. In per-
centages this excess in Washington
prices amounted to IL per cent for
bread and IA per cent for potatoes
In the same group. on the other hand.
the prevailing price of rice was 1

Baltimore. 1t was found that the
majority of the bread sold in Wash

Bureau Shows Food Cost In

Higher Than in Baltimore.
GIVES FIGURES COLLECTED

II essts the average Washington
family per cant more for food than
1t costs . similar family in Baltimore
according to the prices collected in
tho two cities on July Is by agents
and specialists of tho bureau of mar
kets of the Department of Agricul-
ture.
In It's public statement concerning
these prices the bureau of markets
points out that this does not indicate
that prices on all foods are on the
average per cent higher in WASH
inEton than in Baltimore. Tho Z per
cent excess In cost was arrived at by
"weiyhting'' the various food articles
in accordance with their Importance
on the family table. Thus an excess
in price of 10 per cent on bread in
ono city many times more than bal
ances an opposite difference of 10
per cent on canned salmon. because
many more dollars are spent by the
average family for bread than for
salmon. Therefore the bureau consid-
ers that it has reached conclusions
by what it believes to be the fairest
method.
