tBy International News Service) WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - Con gress needs a truant officer.
 With MT. Farnheit's mercury plac- ing near the top of the little glass tube most every day, it is pretty hard for congress to stay on the job.
 Neither the senate or house cham. bers are noted for their cool zephyrs. and almost any excuse Is sufficient to plead official business" and draw a pass" from without the portals of the legislative halls.
 Early morning finds a large ma 1 jority of the legislators on the job. In the cool of the morning they answer the letters that the home folks" write, because if they don't keep up with the people back home they will be told about it in the next campaign.
 Noon finds stead stream of legis- ! lators pouring in to answer the roll calls that inevitably follow the open ing of the sessions.
 Fifteen minutes after noon finds the cooling restaurants of the house and senate damned with legislators.
 After lunch comes the time when the congressional truant officer is needed. It's pretty hard to stay in the stuffy chamber when the tenn perature dances around the 100 mark. and the fish are biting in the Potomac, and the golf courses are swept by country breezes, and the new motor car is hitting 'em on all six. The brave ones struggle against temptation and keep the pages busy rushing iced mineral water and lem onade to their desk. The weak fall. The woefully weak ask some brother legislator to announce their absence on account of official business. Those who aren't quite so weak and don't care what tuc NbllSI t9HlOiial iN''pIh shows just slip out the side doors and let the roll calls come where they may What care they if they are recorded as absent from a ses- sion without explanation.
 By mid-afternoon both chambers are pretty apt to look like school room on circus day. A few of the faithful sit in their chairs and slum- Der peacefully and a few of the even more faithful even insist upon carry ing on debate.
 By late afternoon, if an adjourn ment hasn't been taken, there are only the watch dogs" left. They are the unfortunates who are chosen to remain always on the job to see that nothing is slipped over" in the absence of the members. By sun.down the members come stealing back to their offices, just to see what has happened and in order to take care of any stray tele- grams or telephone messages that may have come in from their con. stiuents.
 It's a hard life these legislators lead, for temptation to loaf besets them on all sides during these steaming Washington weeks A congressional truant officer would certainly be an aid to many q member who falls for the 'hooky" temptation.

CRIME BOOMS SAVINGS.
Ohioans Fear to Garry Money and the
Banks Profit.

"It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
good" The oft-discussed crime wave
that has swept Columbus and every
other municipality in the country has
had one good result.
We don't refer to the land office
business done by burglary insurance
companies, or to the increased sales
of revolvers by stores, or to the fact
that folks aren't staying out so late
at night. 1t has done all these, but
it has also stimulated the saving
habit among people.
Banks in Columbus and elsewhere
in Ohio report substantial increases
in their savings deposits. During the
past year the gain has been unusual
ly large One of the causes is the
crime wave which has made folks
afraid to carry large sums of money

LAST MINUTE RUSH
 TO PAY INCOME TAX

Working until long after the dinner hour last evening, the experts who have been assisting the citizens of Phoenix in making out their income tax returns at the auxiliary offices of the internal revenue service in the Adams hotel building did not leave their task until the last belated tax payer had brought in his statement. It was the last day upon which payment of the first installment of the income taxes for 1920 could be paid without the infliction of penalties. and the rush which started Monday morning con- tinued without cessation until the sun went down last nigHt.s
 Beginning with this morning penal ties are to be assessed for the non payment of the tax within the time limit. There is no option in inflicting these penalties. and there ares no ex- euses.
 Because of governmental restrictions there can be no public summary of the income tax returns, but it is believed that a large proportion of the citizens of the Salt River valley have made their first payments.
