 The Ansell row has further served to increase the hostility of certain members of congress against the war department, and particularly Chief of Staff March and Secretary Baker The senate, which in the maiu is bitterly hostile to Chief of Staff March, has declined to promote March to the grade of lieutenant gen eral, and there is no question but that the new secretary of war in the Harding administration will not re- tain March as chief of staff of the army.

GASOLINE TAX

In GA. HOUSE
Motion To Reconsider
Killed Bill Passes

Times-Recorder Bureau,
KimbaIl House.

Kimball House.
ATLANTA, July 29.-The action
of the house in passing motion to
reconsider the gasoline tax, which
was defeated yesterday, and setting
it on the calendar for another vote,
and the senate in adopting the reso-
luton by Senator John H. Jones and
others providing that committee be
appointed to study the income tax
act and report back at the next ses-
sion, were the chief features of to-
days legislation.
The passage of the Jones resolu-
ton practically ends all probability
of an extra session, since the lead
ers in both houses already have am
nounced they are against continuing
legislation after August 10. Cover
nor Thomas W. Hardwick again
stated this afternoon that he was OPP
posed to the movement to prolong
the session.
Senator o. A. Nix started filibust-
ering again this morning on the tax
equalization act in an attempt to Sc
cure postponement in the vote
on the question. Finally several fac
tons united in an effort to force him
from the floor, and President Clay
upheld their points sc brisr.
The measure allowing all insur-
ance companies N the state 10 insure
for losses by fire, explosions aud tor
nadoes passed the house. Another
bill preventing the storage d. dyna-
mite and other explosives in The state
by outside companies also passed.

Making Of a language.

That the slang and idioms of today
will be correct English tomorrow is
the opinion of Prof. III. Glicksman Of
the English department University Of
Wisconsin. "Our language Is made up
of what was once slang idiom, col
loquialism and jargon," he said lately.
and warned that the only deplorable
feature about slang was. its tendency
to produce mental slovenhness. Pro-
fessor Glicksman then referred to the
word ''mob" as slang of 200 years ago
and as such denounced In the "Spec-
tator" by Addison. ut is. IN abbrevi-
alton of the word mobile Even so
the word pep is vital and virile and
will survive with the word tmappy.'
But to gain recognition slang must be
free from vulgarity and cheapness,~

in one city to make stethosc0pic
study of the heart action of q, patient
hundreds of miles away, was demon
strated to a group of army and civil
ian medical men at the army signal
corps Laboratories at Washington. The
principle involved is similar to that
used in transmitting President Hard
ing's inaugural address.
The demonstration was directed by
Brig. Gen. George Squler, chief signal
officer. The stethoscopic apparatus,
with electrical connection. was placed
over the heart of one of the laboratory
assistants and the heart beat was am
plified many thousands of times,
emerging from phonograph horn and
heard distinctly and studied by the
physicians in room some distance
from that in which the subject was

WOLFE JOURNALS IN MUSEUM
Collection Of Documents Bearing
on Life Of Great Soldier.

Montreal is in possession of one OF
the most complete collections in exist
ence of original journals, letters, por-
traits and effects of Gen. James
Wolfe. 1t was brought together by
David Ross McCc.d, and will be part
of the new McCord National museum
at McGill university. The letters
from the pen of Wolfe begin with
bOyhOod epistle. dated January
"a. 1741. and addressed to his tutor,
w. Weston. 1t shows the serious trend
of the boys Thoughts even at that
time. and a tendency to meditation
and philosophizing. A second letter,
written the following December to the
same tutor and friend. reveals the
other side of Wolfe's character. the
appeal of action, for In it he exults
over the prospects of a soldiers life,
and refers to his having been made
an ensign In line regiment.
An original journal kept by Wolfe
from the days of his entering the army
up to few days before the Battle of
the Plains of Abraham reveals much
of the development of his character
with the passing years. A second
journal of great value is the record
of operations before Quebec. written
In his own hand. This document was
lost for $50 years, was finally traced
to ST. Louis, from there to the Riviera,
where the trail disappeared. Finally
1t turned up in London In 1914, when
1t was acquired by Mr.. McCord.
