FIREMEN MAY FEEL AX BLOW Department at Frankfort Slated for a Shakeup From Head Down. Frankfort, Ind., Feb. 18. —Something of a sensation has been caused by the announcement that there is to be a general stirring up in the city fire department. Mayor Paul has announced that at the regular meeting of the city council tomorrow night he will appoint a new fire chief, as the law gives him the right to make such appointments. It is understood that the council will consider applications for positions as members of the fire department as the relations existing between the chief and the men and also between some of the men have been strained to such a degree that personal encounters have been narrowly averted on several occasions. o Leo Yager is visiting with relatives in the city.

Says the London Chronicle: “The honors in English appear to rest between ‘antidisestablishmentarian - ism' and ‘honorificcabiliitudinity,’’ the former word scoring twenty-eight, letters and ten syllables as against twen-ty-two letters and eleven syllables in the latter. Two other words, ‘disintellectualization' and ‘incircumscriptibleness’ may be commended to police inspectors in search of fresh tests of sobriety. These words are, of course, easily surpassed, even in England by ‘ isometricnomitronamidobenzonphtyalmides’ and other gems of scientific phraseology; while if we cross the German ocean we find innumerable instances of thirteen syllabled words, such as ‘suelpaardelooszonderspoorwegpetroolyting’ the Dutch for ‘motor car.’ ”
