Leader Kitchin OF the House Demo-

they get down to business and work

sion and quit Washington for their
homes about July 20.
This, however. Ia a more optimistic

Solons Apt to Grow Restless.
Only a real emergency can keep Con-
gress in session here through the fall.
Unless the President feels he must have
Congress here to back up the executive
end OF the Government with appropria-
lions. 1t will not be here. In recent
years. Congress has sat frequently as
late as August and Is expected to do so
again. But II Is noticeable that along
toward the closing days OF August the
Senators and House members get highly
restless and the pressure to quit the
Southern Senators ana Representatives
exhibit less concern about this than
Northern members. The reason Is that
the Northern members have to be both
seats. In the SOUTH. nomination Is
equivalent to an election.
