Ing under the direction or the com

be completed before December 4, and
the revised code will be presented to
Congress carly In the next session for

As the sections OF the revised code
are completed they are presented to
Little for review and certihcation to

have been read by Little before the
work Is completed. In Itself this
would have been no small task
Congressman Little called attention
today to one OF the old classincations
under titles appearing I'M the old
codification. There is special fed
erai law providing for the establish
ment and conduct within the jurisdic-
tion1 OF the District of Columbia OF a
School for the Deaf. This has ap-
peared under the title OF Asylums
and Hospitals" Little has decided to
transfer 1t to the title OF ''Education,"
where. In his judgment, II belongs.
"Who would think OF looking for
laws bearing ON the subject OF
school for the deaf under the title
Asylum" he asks. ''and who attend
ing a school for the deaf would care
to have that school called an
Asylum"

The Automobile club at its meeting last night
decided to take up with the smoOt Sign company OF
Parkersburg the matter Of the removal Of two signs
near this city which are menace to safe automo-
billing. The dangerous character Of these pardcu'
lar signs have been called to the attention OF the
smoot people without effect and about the quicses;
way for the Fairmont autoists to get rid OF them
is to get in touch with the other automobile clubs
and business mems organizations Of the state and
ask the next legislature for relief that will be state
wide and permanent. Within year or two West
Virginia is going to be as popular with the auto
mobile tourists as the New England mountain eoun'

pare for, this by getting rid Of all such evidences
Of bad taste as roadside signs. Next winter will
be good time to begin.
