Bill asking MONEY
TOPRObE UTILITIES
TFAC|NG TROUBLE
$500, 900 Saving Would Be e.
fsctsd BY EvaIuation With
so, 900 Appropriation

Trouble lies in the pathway Of q
bill before the North Dakota legisla-
ture to appropriate $4,000 for the
board Of railroad commissioners to
evaluate public utility properties in
the state. This fact, indicated last
week. came strongly to the fore In
the house committee Of the whole
Monday.
A lively debate on the measure
ended with the question still up In
the air. No vote was taken.
Opponents Of the bill maintain that
the railroad commissioners received
. similar appropriation in 1919 and
that public utilities evaluation should
now be completed. Its supporters
contend that the appropriation would
bring about q saving to tho state
since public utilities have increased
and new evaluations should be made.
Four bills were pessed by the house
without discussion during q short
session. The third house." fun Or
ganization Of legislative employees,
took charge for the remainder Of the
day and staged their annual program.
Maui Opens Attacks
Fred E. Mau, Ransom county, who
questioned the railroad commission
bill last week, opened attack on the
measure Monday. j. H. Burkhart,
Ward county, and r. E. Swendseid,
Mountrail county, responded by
pointing out that the $4,000 appro-
priation was not to create new bu-
reau but to survey public utilities
under former law and to consider
new rates.
l.. L. Twichell, Cass county, assert
ed that the board Of railroad COM
missioners has q regular budget to
work upon and that it was given
funds at the time OF its formation In
1919 to make q survey Of public utili-
ties. why was this survey not
made?" he queried. why ask for
money now?"
o. E. Erickson. Kidder county, de-
clared that II the board could get
this appropriation, its investigations
would save 500 900 for the people Of
the state.
Policies should cut no figure in

People of the state should have a
fair rate for electricity and gas and
II this survey will bring that about,
the appropriation should be made"
New Survey Needed
There were not many high lines
In the state when the board made its
first survey" Burkhart pointed out.
These have been increased and q
new survey is needed" A. j. Rulon
Stutsman county. also spoke for the
bill.
mo question before the house IS
more important than this one," Mrs
Lavina Amsberry. Williams county
declared. "A survey OF this nature is
necessary. Public utilities have
changed in the last 10 years and We
must make ready for the future by
such survey"
The house voted for reconsideration
. bill rejected Saturday which would
require posting Of prices Of milk and
milk products at cream stations. The
bill was re-referred to state affairs
committee.

urgent that it is expected that the
State board will care for these ad-

NURSERY SCHOOL
FOR DEAF SOUGHT
Research Council Takes Up
General Problem for
United States.

A broad program of attack on the
problem of deafness in the United
States was formulated yesterday after
noon by group Of psychologists. ply
sicians, educators and physicists called
together by the division of anthropol-
ogy and psychology of the National Re-
search Council.
The program aimed at attacking deaf
ness at all stages of life, but particu-
larry among children. For this pur-
pose, the establishment of nursery
school for deaf children was recon-
mended. No definite location was de-
cided upon, although there was some
discussion of placing it in Washington.
A study of Gallaudet College was de-
cided upon to determine the best way
for this institution to Cooperate with
other schools for the deaf In training
teachers, and to obtain suggestions for
the adjustment of deaf students in
other colleges.
Approve Research Lines.
Other lines of research which were
approved by the committee were:
Studies Of the heredity Of deafness
to determine just how much actually
runs in families and how much Is due
to early environment.
Development of adequate tests of
hearing for young children so that 1t
will be possible to tell whether infants
are suffering from auditory deficiency.
This is practically impossible at pres
ent unless the hearing deficiency Is
marked.
Tests to be used as a basis for diff
ferential diagnosis of feeble minded
ness and auditory deficiency.
A study of the possibilities Of hear
ing aids for the -of-hearing child.
Comparative studies by anatomists
and dentists Of the development of the
mouth, jaws, teeth and throat struc-
lures Of normal and hard-of-hearing
children.
Motor Reactions.
Studies of the basic motor reac-
| tons Of the tongue, lips, diaphragm
and throat in normal and hard-of-
hearing children.
A comparative study Of language de-
| velopment in normal and hard-of -hear-
ing children.
Studies of the extent to which the
development of complex mental proc
esses Is affected by the absence of
language stimulation.
A study of the role of auditory slim
ulation in the spontaneous behavior
Of children.
Studies Of the effect of deafness on
the development Of other senses and
on motor ability.
The effect of deafness on the per-
sonality and social relations Of young
| children.
A study of the pathological factors in
the hearing defects Of young children.
The development of progressive deaf
ness in the young.
The conference struck out a recon-
mendation for the announcement of
childless marriages among deaf persons
whose deafness was suspected Of being
hereditary.

NOVEL BY HARRIS
FOUND IN TRUNK
"Qua, Study Of Revolution" Dis
covered in Chest of Famous
Manuscripts.
BY the Associated Press


ATLANTA, Ca, February 2.--"Oua,
Q Story Of the Revolution" an unpub-
lshed romantic novel by Joel Chandler
Harris Of Uncle Remus" fame, has
been discovered in trunkful of Har-
ris' manuscripts at Emory University.
In announcing the find today, Prof.
Thomas II. English of Emory said Qua"
was the mysterious work to which Har-
ris referred in letter to william Dean
Howells in 1900.
No other reference to the novel had
been found In Harris letters or manu-
scripts until Prof. English ran upon it
29 years after it was penned in a first
draft, and 81 years after the death of
the author. The Harris family placed
all Of the Georgia story tellers manu-
scripts in the hands of Emory two years
ago, and Prof English has been CLASH
flying and examining them since.
The story was written in ink on plain
paper in the flowing Harris hand. There
are 160-odd pages in seven chapters,
totaling $4,000 words.
The story deals with the skirmishing
and -whacking between Wings and
Tories in Georgia.
