NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
HOPE OF THE FUTURE
Representative Fess Believes Next
Congress Will Authorize Insti-
tuition in Washington.

Representative Fess of Ohio said to-
day he does not believe the present
Congress can find time to enact his
bill for the establishment of a national
university in Washington, but he and
other friends of the bill believe that
the favorable action of the House COM
mittee on education will improve the
chances of the bill in the next Con-
@ress.
In statement on the subject for The
Star. Representative Fess said today:
This project has been before Con-
gress since the time of Washington.
Many noted men and organizations
through Congress.
Urged by Washington.
1t was urged by Washington and
seconded by at least ten of his sue
cessors. 1t was supported by at least
half dozen justices of the Supreme
Court, including Chief Justices Jay
Eutledge, Marshall and Chase, and
formally recommended by at least
twenty cabinet ministers. among them
the most brilliant lights of our nation
1t received support by the heads Of
both the army and navy. and enthusi-
2 site advocacy by the heads of col
1eges and universities. at least four
hundred of them; almost unanimous
Endorsement of both the scholars and
learned associations of the country:
= advocacy of the public school men and
women in the country: support Of vari-
Gus ~women's organizations Of the
country. including the national D. A
r.: warm support at different times of
the Senate as a body.
Awakens Intellectual Interest.
The possibility of a national uni
versity has awakened the intellectual
interest of the United States. 1t is the
@xpIana ton of the enthusiastic sup
port of the National Educational AS
sociation. the Association of State Uni
versity Presidents. various philosophic
= nd scientific associations. 1t has been
acted upon three times by the Senate
IS a body.
Although it will not be possible to
get action from the present Congress,
I is hoped by its advocates that the
bill will come up for favorable action
ia the SiXty-fourth Congress. If the
bill once passes the House the national
university is assured, there will be
10 difficulty in getting favorable ac-
t.on in the Senate.

COL DIS
Anup-to-date remedy for
colds. That is what Peruna
IS. In successful use over
3 years.

Colds are caught in many
ways: lily ventilated rooms;
rooms that have direct draughts;
crowded rooms; damp houses;
stuffy school rooms; Offices lily
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener-
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.
"For several years I have been
troubled with colds at each change

not been troubled with the slightest
cold this entire season" Mr.. Harry

Doctor Hayward continued shaking
his head. 81 cannot diagnose her
symptoms" he shrugged.
There seemed to be a faint odor, al
most as If of garlic, in the room. 1t
was unmistakable and Craig looked
about him curiously, but said nothing.
AS he shifted, he moved impatiently
and his foot touched Rusty, under the
bed. Rusty whined and moved back
lazily. Craig bent over and looked
at him.
What's the matter with Rusty?" he
asked. "Is he sick, too?"
why, yes" answered Elaine, fol-
lowing Craig with her deep eyes.
Craig reached down and gently
pulled the collie out into the room.
Rusty crouched down close to the
floor. His nose was hot and dry and
feverish. He was plainly i'll.
How long has Rusty been in the
room?" asked Craig.
"All night answered Elaine. Il
wouldn't think of being without him
now"
May 1 take Rusty along with me?"
Craig asked finally.
Elaine hesitated. Surely" she said
at length, only be gentle with him..
"Of course" he said simply. -

cover the trouble from studying him"
We stayed only a few minutes
longer, for Kennedy seemed to realize
the necessity of doing something inn
mediately, and even Doctor Hayward

to work Immediately, brushing every
thing else aside. He began by draw

"Arsenici" I repeated, in horror.
I had scarcely recovered from the
surprise of Kennedy's startling reve-
lation when the telephone rang again.
Kennedy seized the receiver. thinking
evidently that the message might be
from or about Elaine.
But from the look on his face and
from his manner, could gather that
