 Washington, May 23.-Despite the optimism which prevails in the halls of the capitol concerning the fact that congress will adjourn not later than July l" the president is making pre- parations to remain in Washington all summer.
 Congress usually gets the notion thyt they are. going to quit on or be- fore certain date. The members of both houses call on the president, in form him that they must get away and they are told that the Chief Exc cutive has no objections to their leav- ing provided they get through with a specified amount of work. But they never do. If there is any one thin that congressman like to do it is to tai kand, in spite of the fact that they really want to get home and attend to the reparing of their political fences, 1t is probable that the house and senate will remain in session during the greater part of the sum- mer.
 The president knows this.
 He is not taken in by the protesta- tions of the senators and representa- tives that have to get away by July 1. When they told him that he mere ly smiled and sai dthat he had no ob jections when they left and that the sooner they got through with their work the better pleased he would be.
 Working Under Tyler Elm.
 Then, after Underwood and Kern and Henry and Covington had told him that they would be out of Wash ington by July 10 at the latest, the president called in Secretary Tumulty and gave directions that tent be erected in the rear of the white house.
 Of course, the president does not doubt that congress will be able to get away by July 10-of coure not. But he determined to be prepared for emergencies.
 The white house tent situated as it is in the rear of the white house and shaded from the direct glare of the sun by an old elm planted by Presi- dent Tyler, is truly an enticing spot. It is spot which lulls the senses and makes one want to work.
 There during the hottest days of summer. the president will find se- clusion and rest, coolness and enjoy ment. There he will be able to get a breath of the country while being in reality within touch of everything and everyone official.
 On the table within easy reach of his hand, the president will find row of pearl covered buttons, the mere pressure of which will summon Sec tary Tumulty -o or Assistant Secre- tary Foster or the chief clerk of the white house, Tommy Brahany. Tele- phones are handy so that the chief executive can get into instant com munication with practically anyone in the United States and large crystal water cooler and softly purring cleo tric fan look after his more material comforts.
 pr. Cary T. Grayson, the presidents personal physician and opponent on the golf course, was the first to sue gest the idea of the white house tent as place where the president might get away fro minis troubles and forget the fact that it is tor will bel 105 in the shade along Pennsylvania avenue.
 Needs Exercise.
 In discussing this arrangement with me some days ago, Dr. Grayson said :: "I think it's fine idea. The tent will enable the president to get out in the open air practically all day and there Is no nerve tonic equal to the vitaliz- ing influence of the open air. The president is by his very nature nerv- ous. All men of his build and ability are iclined to be so and he needs every bit of open air and exercise that he can get.
