Thr State Parents' Association (or the Promotion of tho lftiucallou of tlo Deaf 1st plannlnsr to asu tho legislature this winter for an appropriation for two .new bulltllnKs for tho School for the Deaf lit Omahn. The association feels that n. primary and a manual training bulldlnjr are badly needed. Hurd Miller, stato architect, has been asked to draw plans and make estimator as to what would bo required to construct such biilldinss In order that tho association will know how much to ask for when the time comes, .Mee JVrxt Wfcli. The association, which Is composed of about 160 members, parents of the deaf pupils of the school, Is to hold, a meet ing In Omaha December 3), when the matter of asking for such an appropria tion will be definitely decided upon. De cember 20 has been decided upon for tho dato of the meeting: as the school closes on that day for the Christmas vacation. At that tlno iho parents will come to Omaha to take tho pupils home for the vacation and that Is looked upon as the best possible time for calllnc such a meeting. Method of Kdncntlnn. J, A. Uabcock of North Ixnip Is presi dent of tho association -and Mrs. Al M. IJafoo of Tccumseh socrotary- Members of the association, being parents of the deaf, liavo for years made a careful study of tho subject of the methods of educating: tho Joaf. Two years ago this association procured the legislative enact ment in Nebraska providing for tho use of tho oral method of Instruction In tho Nebraska school. Up to that time the sign language and the manual alpha bet had been used entirely. Tho process of changing from the sign and manual alphabet method has been gradual, as It could not bo accomplished at once. One of tho principal reasons for asking for a primary building now Is that the children entering the BChool now may be, to come extent, segregated from those older who are making use of tho sign lan guage. It Is contended that when the new children come In" contact with these older pupils they at once begin to absorb some of tho sign language and eventually they are using It to their own detrlmont, ns they do not so readily learn the oral or Up method wlien once they have ac quired tho sign language. I.iiiiRuaicc of Motion. Tho great objection to the sign lan guago Is that It Is merely' . language of motions, the Indian sign language en larged and systematized. Consequently It is a languago without grammar and a language without literature. Tho school is thcreforo seeking to discourage its us especially among tho younger pupils, to whom It seeks to teach tho Up or oral method entirely, so that children edu cated In the new system may go about their business in every day life convers ing with peoplo by watching the Hps Instead of depending upon motions that no one but those schooled to It will understand. A manual training building, tho asso ciation contends, Js greatly needed at the school, as manual training to persons handicapped by the affliction of deaf ness is comparatively a much greator asset In llfo than It Is to normal children, although all high schools aro now giving n great deal of this branch of work to tho normal children. Michaelsen Advises Safety in Decorating City Electrician Michaelsen has pre vailed upon the merchants of the city to do away with cotton batting as a decora, tlon and, working with Fire Warden Ed Morris, has requested jobbers to order a largo supply of artificial snow for decora tions.

GAS COMPROMISE CONSIDERED Service Company is Weighing Prop osition Made by the City. PROPOSE MUTUAL LEGISLATION It is the Cl7' Plan to Iteiluer Hoy nltr Exacted from (inn Connmny, the Aarreemmit to Tnke I Ef fect Jannnry First. Gaa company officials are considering a proposition offered by the city as a com- promlso of the' Injunction suit to restrain tho enforcement of the dollar-gas ordi nance;. The city's proposition Is: Proper legislation shall be secured to safeguard tho Interest of both parties; the company will furnish gas at $1 per 1,000 cubic feet; further tho company will pay 6 cents per 1.000 cublo feet ns royalty and set asldo 10 cents to pay general charges, such as taxation and any remaining poi- tlon of this will revert to the city. This 10 cents per 1,000 cubic feet would not Include exclso and federal charges. At present the company Is paying for all charges, Including royalties, more than 17 cents per 1,000 cubic feet. It Is the city's plan to reduce the roynlty a cent per 1,000 cubic feet for each 5 cents reduction to consumers. The propo sition would becomo effective January 1. Xo Form ill Action, While formal action has not been taken the company has the proposition under consideration and will nnnounce a deci sion at a conference to be held with tho city representatives next Thursday after noon. If tho city's proposal Is accepted and an agreement Is reached the company will bo granted contracts of ten years' dura tion each. The city will stand firm In the position that contracts shall not be for a longer period than ten years. Fur ther, tho city will accept no compromise that does not guarantee the consumer dollar gas. It la the opinion of city officials who have been handling the case that the property of tho gas company Is assessed at least $1,000,000 too high, tho present as. sessed value being $3,500,000. ThlB assess, ment would be reduced to agree, at least approximately, with tho valuation re turned by experts employed by the city to ascertain the physical valuation of the plant.

Korostovetr, tho Russian minister, has warned China that a rupture of their negotiations Is Immi nent unless China ceases lo delay the settlement of the Mongolian question.

The Chinese government opened nego tiations In November with the Russian legation In respect to Russia's recent recognition of tho autonomy of Mongo lia. Tho minister of foreign affairs In formed the Russian mlnlnter that China claimed tho right to control Mongolia's foreign relations and suggested that no foreign powers should sond troops to Mongolia. According to Peking dispatches, Rus sia formulated demands for the settle ment of the Mongolian question on a basis suitable to Chinese honor.
