SMITH IMPROVING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Congress-

is improving rapidly in his home here
and is expecting soon to be able to
attend the sessions of congress and
to make regular visits to his office
At present, while he is able to walk
about his house and dictate daily to
his stenographer he has obeyed his
doctors advice to take very little eX-
ercse and to keep in the house dur
ing the cold weather. Congressman
Smith is looking better than when
he arrived and says he feels about
as we'll as ever, except that his heart
action is weak. He is taking great
interest in the work of congress and
is planning for the future. The re-
apportionment of the state congress
sional districts interested him much
and he seems to be satisfied with the
way in which his district was left.
