washington Times.)
IL must be source of extreme per-
sonal satisfaction to the head of one
OF the great bureaus, as well as to his
chief, Secretary Daniels, that there
mas yet to be q word Of criticism of
the Bureau Of Supplies and Accounts
Of the Navy Department.
Admiral MCGOWAN has, indeed, won
praise in place Of condemnation, for
In one of the reports of the House
Naval Committee it's members found
1t lifting and just to say:
"Tho Bureau OF Supplies and
Accounts has established and well
deserves a nationwide reputation
for efficiency"
Before the United States entered the
war the record for years purchase
through this bureau was twcnty-scvcn
million dollars. The high water mark
during hostilties was thirty-two mil
iioil hOliuIS Ill IL SlnSlC u1N.
Admiral MCGOWAN has directed the
dealings with seventeen thousand diff
fcrcnt business firms in the purchase
of more than sixty thousand varieties
OF supplies from sailors socks TO on
gines.
The Admiral usually uses short and
simple words both in his personal con
vcrsation and his official communica
tons, but the prospect Of war led tC
the adoption Of one high-brow tern
the only one he allows. The cNpres
sion "logistic plans is explained TO
mean Having things in the right
place and ready"
The application OF his "logistic plan"
enabled the Admiral to have at his
hand on the day We declared war q
complete survey OF the entire indus
trial and commercial situation in the
United States, so far as it affected
naval purchases.
The room in which all these CON
tracts were made is arranged like a
French clock You can see all the
works. Every contract is opened
there. No private rooms. No cnbby
holes for private conversations and
arrangements" Everything out in
the open.
MCGOWAN had only three orders to
sign the day We went to war. Thcy
cpitOmizcd all the necessary prcpara-
tons in his department. He is gcttine
out of war as easily and as mcthodical-
~ as he went into il. Tho wheels Of
big money spending are slowing down
without any grinding or friction.
OF course, the business side Of the
navy never stops. There is an will
be plenty Of work
Admiral McGowan i'm the times Of
peace has as keen an eye for Uncic
Sans interest and rs firm hand in
It's directing as he did while we were
winning the war
Secretary Daniels is to be compli-
mcntcd on selecting and congratulate
cd on keeping so efficient and able n
fellow workman as Admiral MCGOWAN
has proved himself to be.

If we would build wisely and
for usefulness, we must first lay
a good permanent foundation
that will stand the test of time.
The founder of Hardin College,
looking at the need of education
for women and the beneficent
influence it would bring not on
ly to this community but to our
country at large, devised a plan
for the growth and perpetuity OF
our institution which was with
out equal nearly half a century
ago.
From its walls have gone out
some of the best women of our
County, home makers, teachers
missionaries to both home and
foreign fields. The influence of
of these for the betterment Ofhu-
mainly can not be estimated or
valued from a material stand
point.
What we need now is a great
err equipment and endowment.
Any young woman seeking
a higher education, to meet the
new conditions that have come
to her, may demand that every
facility be made for a wider door
of opportunity so that she be
thoroughly equipped for life's
duties and responsibilities.
