TRUANT OFFICER.

UNDER BIC DOME
Hot Air in Legislative Chambers
Drives Members to Play
Hockey.
BY DAVID Nj. CHURCH,
International News Service.

Congress needs truant officer.
With Mr.. Fahrenheit'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 nor House
chambers 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.
Noon Sees Exits.
Early morning finds a large ma.
jority of the legislators on the job.
In the cool of the morning they
answer the letters that the home
folks" write, because IL they don't
keep up with the people back home
they will be told about 1t In the next
campaign.
Noon finds steady stream of
legislators pouring in to answer the
roll calls that inevitably follow the
opening 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 fish rare biting in the Potomac
and the golf courses are swept by
country breezes, and the new motor
car Is hitting EN- on all six. The
brave ones struggle against tempta-

The woefully weak ask some brother

on account of official business. Those
who aren't quite so weak and don't

shows just slip out the side doors
and let the roll calls come where
they may. What care they II they
are recorded as absent from a ses
sion without explanation.
Back at Shutdown.
BY mid afternoon both chambers
are pretty apt to look like a 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, IL 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 shutdown the members come
stealing back to their offices, just to
see what has happened and in order
| to take care of any stray kilograms
or telephone messages that may have
come in from their constituents.
It's a hard life these Legislators
lead, for temptation to loaf besets
them on all sides during these steam
ing Washington weeks.
A Congressional truant officer
would certainly be an aid to many
a member who falls for the "hooky'
temptation.
