 The congressional gym is strictly private affair, financed by the contri- buttons of members Its hours are arranged so that a member need not cut a committee meeting or a session of the house in order to get in his reg ular stint of exercise.
 Though the sensation of organizing the gymnasium is over, interest in athletics seems still to be on the rise in congress. Eighty members who live near the Capitol have requested night classes for the benefit of those who cannot find time to exercise in the day.
 Another request recently reached MT. Farrell from 50 girl secretaries to con gressmen. who think they need to be .tset up,' and want to use the Capitol gym for two periods a week. MT. Farrell seems worried over the girls. He thinks everybody ought to be a gym enthusiast, but al the same time he says doubtfully that his first duty Is toward congressman One gets the impression that he is a trifle wary of facing 40 lively young women. It is comparatively easy to keep 125 mid dle-aged statesmen from breaking their necks. but with 40 girls on his hands he might reasonably fear casualties of the heart as well as of body and limb.
