Elizabeth says that the gypsy
woman called on her q few days ago

appearance Of the visitor aTrsysd In
full gypsy splendor and the predic-
ton of an awful fate she parted with
$40 over which the gypsy was to say
q charm. 1t wasn't possible to say
the charm right there but the visitor
would bring IL back at o'clock
sharp, and when Elizabeth had spent
the money or had IL changed all her
III luck would depart
Three o'clock turned up all right
but the $40 needed help to get around
to the Mitchell home at 1855 Thirtieth

teller wasn't giving il any. So
Elizabeth called Policeman Peterson,
who located the woman accused of
forgetting to return the money. Now

BIGNATIONAL
UNIVERSITY
HERE URGED
Establishment of Great Educa-
tionaI Institution to Be Fush-
ed When Congress Meets.

The movement for establishment OF
great university Of the United
States promises to be revived in the
extra session Of Congress.
Washington iS proposed as the seat
Of this great institution OF learning,
which its advocates believe should be
the cap sheaf of the country's edu-
eationaI system.
Senator Sterling of South Dakota,
X prominent educator before he en-
tered the Senate, is giving the subject
study and is disposed to present q new
the bill for establishment of such q
university. He has conferred with
Senator Dillingham;, who for some
years has been in favor of II. Both
are agreed the project ought to be
revived.
The extra session OF Congress will
be marked by consideration OF q num-
Der OF important educational subjects.
One OF them will be the bill or bills
for a Department Of Education.
While the Department OF Educa-
tiOn has much support, there are
those In Congress who fear IL would
interfere WIN the IreeoOm OF inc
states in the matter Of shaping educa-
tional policies. For that reason, they
are curious about II.
Some Of the supporters OF the idea
oi a great national university in
Washington feel that such a univer-
sity would not be open to the objec-
tons raised to a Department Of Educa-
tion. That is, they hold that while
IL would be a great center for stu
dents from all sections, it would in
no sense seek to shape educational
policies OF the States.
From the standpoint Of Washing
ton, it Is an interesting fact that
whether a Department OF Education
or a university Of the United States
he established. Washington will find
it's Importance as an educational CEN
ter greatly enhanced.

probably the most astute politician in
either party. is conducting the Repub-
lican campaign. The fine hand of Mayor
Frank Hague, Of Jersey City, who has
become one Of the state Democratic
leaders. IL not in fact the commander
in chief Of the Democratic forces of
New Jersey, is very apparent in the
Edwards campaign.
Democratic Discord
Republicans are taking some comfort
in the antagonism between the Hague
and Nugent factions of the Democratic
camp. Hague. it is declared. seeks to
usurp Nugcnt's leadership. Many Re
publicans profess to see Democratic de-
feat in this rivalry.
Nugcnt is anxious 10 elect his Assem-
bly, ticket. With the Assembly delega
ton last winter he was able on many
occasions to control the House and to
him belongs the creditor discredit,
according to the viewpoint--of causing
New Jersey to reject the federal prohi-
bition amendment.
1t is argued that with the Edwards
plank in the platform calling for the
immediate ratification of the woman
suffrage amendment. which was adopted
against the most strenuous opposition
by Nugcnt, thousands of Essex Demo-
cratic voters have been alienated from
their party as far as the head of the
ticket is concerned, and that therefore
they would be willing to vote for Bug
bee in exchange for Republican votes

But more conservative estimate, made
