Congressman Fess Tells City School Teachers of Great Project A National University at Washing ton, which will be open for research work to students of the world under the leadership of the best men of the country, the government to be the beneficiary of these discoveries, is the aim of Dr. S. D. Fess, president of Antioch College at Antioch, Ohio, and Congressman from that district, he stated in his address to the city teachers this morning in the auditor ium of the Central High School at the opening session of the fourth day of the city teachers' Institute. Dr. Fess' plan was first the dream of Washington, who twice recom mended it to Congress, and upon his death bequeathed a sum of $50,000, and named the place for the erection of the University at a part of Wash ington still known as University Heights. Numerous times since then it has been given consideration, but has always fallen short of being car ried to perfection. Dr. Fees has ma tured his plans so far that the mat ter will be brought before Congress as soon as the vocational bill has been before the House. The scheme as being set forth by the speaker is to expend a sum of four million dollars for an administra tion building to be called the Na tional Archives Building. The speaker stated that this country is the only nation in the world that does not boast of such a building. The institu tion would be controlled by a board of directors. Any scholar of rare abil ity with the degree of Bachelor of Arts would be invited to come to Washington to do research work in any department. "With the govern ment as the beneficiary of the re searches, one discovery would often pay all expenses of the National Uni versity for 100 years," declared the speaker. The other speaker of the morning was Dr. Edward F. Bigelow, a Con necticut lecturer, editor and natural ist. His subject was "The Child or You." Superintendent F. E. Downes an nounced the next and final session of institute for Saturday, March 11. The lecturer will be Hollis Dann, head of the Department of Music of Cornell University. His address upon the sub ject of music will be the first de livered upon that theme for several years to the city teachers. S. L. Krebs, a Philadelphia psychologist, will also speak.

SHIRT FACTORY GIRLS ON STRIKE Demand Increase in Wages When New Proprietor Takes Charge at Newport Sfecial to the Telegraph Newport, Pa., Jan. 22.—Yesterday morning about 9.30 o'clock forty-five of the tifty girls employed at the Quality Shirt Factory here struck when the new proprietor, H. D. Eber sole. of Goldsboro, York county. Pa., arrived to take charge of the factory. He purchased the personal property and real estate some time ago. Mr. Kbersole was accompanied by the for mer proprietor, H. W. Shoemaker, of Harrisburg, and B. F. Snellbaker, pro prietor of a shirt factory at Mechan icsburg. Pa. Some time ago the girls decided to ask for an Increase in wages and sent a petition to the New York jobbers handling the factory's output request ing their good offices in securing the increase. They asked 1 cent per dozen more, on account of a change in the method requiring additional labor with no more pay. The girls declared they would not continue work under the new proprietor unless wages were in creased. It is said the wages paid at the Quality factory are higher than at Goldsboro or Mechanicsburg and that Mr. Ebersole cannot afford to increase the present scale. Five of the girls remained at work, but not sufficient in number to operate the plant, and it was closed down until Monday morning. The employes say that their best workers are not able to earn, on an average, $5 a week, while others do not overage more than ?3 or $4 a week.

Stimson Believes Compulsory Military Ser vice Will Solve Problem DISCUSS BORDER TROUBLE Root and Other Prominent Men Speak on Preparedness Be fore Security League By Associated Press Washington. D. C., Jon. 22.—Un qualified endorsement of the adminis tration's continental army plan was given to-day by Henry L. Stimson, Sec retary of War in the Taft administra tion. in an address before the National Security League. Declaring himself in favor of com pulsory universal military service as the true solution of the defense prob lem, Mr. Stimson said he regarded the program now advanced by Secretary Garrison as the sound initial step. "If Congress is not ready yet to sanction universal training,'' he said, "the measures wliicn are enacted should be those which, so far as they go, are in accord with this great fun damental duty and which as time passes and experience ripens will lead most naturally to the establishment of such a system. Discusses Border Trouble "Instead of ourselves performing the most vital duty of citizenship," said Mr. Stimson, "we have been hir ing other men to do it for us. Other democracies have been more consist ent and intelligent and to-day they are reaping the advantage of their action not only in their national security but in the stability of character which their training has given to the indi vidual." Referring to the recent Mexican troubles and the demands of many for a punitive expedition, Mr. Stimson said: "It Is conceivable that at almost any time the hands of our govern ment may be forced by some such emergency, yet at the present day with the great bulk of our army massed I along the Mexican border we have only I " Ml ' BANK STATEMENTS REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE COMStEHCIAI, DANK, of Harris burg.
