Union of effort and union of purpose
is the slogan which is bound to bear
acceptable fruitage in any and all lines
Of activity" The speaker stated that
labor unions are here to stay, and
while properly conducted should
alarm no one. "As long as organized
labor keeps within just bounds all
fair-minded citizens should lend it

he said. The same idea of strength
in union is shown in the unification Of
the Allied armies against the German
military system. the only thing, ac-
cording to Mr.. Gallagher. which
could ever have. uuelled the German
forces.
"Unification Of denominations and
Christian forces is most needful," it
was pointed out. and such union is
bound to come about. though not to
such an extent as to destroy the .iden-

Christianity Needed.
The need of Christianity in the in

talk on the employment situation by
Rev. c. E. Tingley at the First Bap-

'"Justice to ALL
The credit-reporting idea is far
from the purpose of dealing harshiy
with those who are suddenly overtak-
en- by misfortune of one kind or an"
other, such as loss of employment,
sickness, etc. AS a matter of fact the
best asset a well-meaning consumer
can have at such a crisis are the
Credit Bureau records showing that
when conditions are normal with him
he meets his obligations. The mer-
chant who knows his record In that
regard will help tide him over his dif-
ficulties, and such merchant can all
the more easily help him If his losses
on bad accounts are normally kept at
"a minimum through use of credit bur-
eau information.
Another argument advanced on be-
half of the maintenance of an ef1ci-
ent credit bureau is the fact that
when losses on bad accounts are re-
duced the cost of doing business falls
at the same time and it becomes pos
sible to reduce prices, a matter in
which all consumers are interested.
Again, merchants who are in a posts
ton to offer reasonable prices and eff
cient service car attract patronage
from distant points and build up their
town to a degree not possible under
other. conditions. .

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
 PLANNED BY DR. TESS

WASHINGTON, May 28.-George Washington's dream of the founding of a nationaN university for the en- couragement of original research of worldwide importance will soon be realized, if Representative Simeon D. Fess, the new chairman of the house committee on education and formerly president of Antioch College in Ohio, has his way.
 The country has many universities, about four hundred of them, and some of them lend scope, to rare scholarship, but none of them develops purely cre- ative work alone. They instruct in knowledge already established. They bring the mind of the nations youth to date. They train it to think and in spire it to high ideals of citizenship. What "the little doctor" as Represen- tative Fess is familiarly known, now desires is national institution which will cultivate the power to find that which is yet unknown.
 "Such an institution he believes will not interfere with nor supercede other colleges and universities, but supple ment them and depend upon them for it's supply of students seeking the privilege of special experts. None but those who have degree from any of them will be permitted to enter this higher national university, and then only on recommendation for original skill.
 "Thus it would stimulate effort in the existing institutions and improve them by returning to them as teach CTS and instructors the best trained investigators. Graduate as we'll as the professor would look forward to it. It would assist Americanization by di- verting the flow of American students from Berlin, Paris, Oxfordy and Vien- na, as in the past, to Washington. It would also become the metropolitan institution patronized by the largest group of European students, as well as those of other progressive commu- mites of the world. It would make use of such agencies in Washington as the Congressional Library, the Smith sonian Institution, all of the purely scientific bureaus of the government, and the work of Congress itself. To make the capital of free America the very first in the scholarship of the earth is the plan of Chairman Fess, and he expects to push it to compile tion during the present session of Congress.
 Another idea of Representative Fess, which he will attempt to incor- porate into law during the session, is the rehabilitation of the cripples of industry as we'll as those of war, util- izing existing vocational schools for retraining in cooperation with state industrial commissions.

IS FINE" COMES REPORT FROM
 EVERY DIRECTION

That every line of business in the United States, faces season of pros- perity is evidenced by recent cir cular issued by the National City Bank of New York, which says:
 "The business situation in the United States has improved very much in the last month, and the out look is encouraging. It is very great gain to have dissipated the atmos- phere of pessimism which was preva- lent in February, and that has been accomplished in large degree. The idea that the bottom was about to drop out of all markets, and that a grave period of unemployment, and perhaps social disorder, was pending is no longer entertained. The peo- pie, North and South, East and West, have disposed of that bogy by simply continuing to buy goods at the great est rate ever known, evidently with out apprehensions of poverty or revo- lution. We conclude that the great body of the American people are dis posed to go along in a normal way, whatever the rest of the world may do, and as their buying capacity is about equal to that of all the rest of the world put together, they can do fairly well all by themselves if they try.
 The starting up of the textile in dustry is now familiar fact. The automobile makers, who were the first to sense the real prospect and to go ahead on a big scale regardless of the high prices, are unable to fill their orders. Silverware manufacturers have the largest volume of orders ever known. Jewelry from the very cheap grades up is finding big sale. There was never such sale of diamonds as at present, and the prices for them are high. At least, all this indicates buying power.
 "Construction enterprises and new building, furthermore, can not be held back much longer by high costs. A Pittsburgh authority states, 'Cohserv- ative estimates place the average an nual requirements of new dwelling houses in the United States at 600, ,000 and recent official estimate placed the present shortage at 100000 houses. At the very low average of $2,00O each, this would mean S2,000,- 900 ,000 of new construction right now awaiting reasonable assurance con. corning the stability of existing aver. age cost of material and labor i
 Meanwhile the record of business failures indicates that those who arc pushing forward in business enter. prises are succeeding. The 543 bank. ruptcies in the United States in Apri made the lowest monthly total since such statistics began to be gathered.

As the designers predicted, the Di- rectoire modes have influenced the creations tremendously. Even the sports suits show the effects of the in- fluence, and solid colors, are giving preference to mixtures. Rough tweeds are the favorite of an exclusive clien- tele for country suits, and Scotch plaids are in high esteem.
 For Country Side. and Seashore
 The two attractive little frocks shown are suitable for wear either in town or in the open freedom of the shore or mountains. The one with the turned-up cuff at the lower edge of the skirt, and tunic of contrasting color, is quite smart and desirably showy. The novelty cuffs are an un- usual feature and are of the same ma terial as the turned-up cuffs.
 Simplicity indeed characterizes the other, which is in one piece straight down the front from the shoulder to the lower edge of the overwaist. The sleeves and side sections are of con- trasting color. This would be pretty developed in pale green plaid with white linen.
