 you catch the corner elevator to the third floor, where you find Oscar W. Under woods office exactly above that of Judge Richardson. Mr Underwood is in No. 321, which is connected with three other large rooms used by the members and experts of the ways and means commit tee This is at all times one of the busiest places in Washington There a corps Of clerks and tariff experts headed by Dan c. Roper may always be found in work hours toiing among immense columns of figures and a mountain of tariff facts
 Mrs. Marian F. Martin is MT. Under woods private secretary, and I want to say right here that she is one of the best in Washington. She Is not only efficient and in full sympathy with all of MT. Un- derwoods work, but she is very efficient in carrying on the details of the con eressmans public duties when he is en- gagged in special matters. She relieves him of a great deal of the detail work in the departments in collecting information for constituents and answering other calls that Mir Underwood is unable to attend to personally on account of other pressing matters.
 From Mir Undrewood's office you go down the south corridor on the same floor to Captain Hobson's office, almost at the east end of this hall. He is in room 344 Captain Hobson may not be in, but you always find his secretary, w H. Morgan, on the job and ready to smile pleasantly and answer any questions for inquiring constituents.
 Following on round the corudor on the same floor to the northeast corner of the building you come to the office of Henry D. Clayton. If you do not find the congressman, you are unfor- tunate If you miss him for he is one of the most pleasing of the delegation, you are greeted by J. J. Speight his secretary, one of the most affable and efficient in the secretary group.
 At this corner you, take the elevator to the floor above, the fourth floor. and you step out of the cage almost into the door of John l.. Burnett's office. You almost always find MT. Burnett in and he is always busy. He has a suite of rooms. the largest being the meeting place of his committee on inn migration Tracy Lay of Gadsden Is clerk of the committee and always gives you a. cordial reception. He has had some newspaper experience and knows how to sympathize with the correspon- dent. If he has no good story in fact to give you he will manufacture a nice little harmless story for you while you walt.
 You take the same elevator and drop back to the second floor where you retrace your steps southwark About half way down the corridor you find the office of J. Thomas Heflin His secretary J. s. Mullen, is glad to see you and will entertain you as long as you will stay. If he has good story he will give it to you with so much cordiality that. you are sorry he has no more
 Leaving MT. Heflin's office you pro ceed down the corridor to the south end where you take the elevator at the corner for the first floor Here going up the south corridor toward the west you find on the left the office of Fred L. BIackmon, the newest member of the delegation.
 Just across the hall to the right is the office of Congressman G. W. Fay Tor and a little further down the hall on the left again is the office of s. Fl. Dent. Jr., the smallest man in stature in the delegation. '
 This ends the job. You walk around and out on the same floor near where you entered, but on lower floor and to the side of the building. You can return to the capitol through the sub way if you choose.
 It takes something like two hours to get through the building and stop q few minutes with each member of the delegation and you walk a mile at feast.
