People don't applaud play because
they like it. They applaud 1t because
the weather is good. Such, at least, is
the theory-of DR.. e. f. Free, scientist
and engineer and major in the Chem
ical Warfare Service during the war.
II is as chemist that he analyses the
mechanism of human response to the
theater. Applause is not only men,
tai response to pleasure" he says,
"but it is also physical act, and when
the weather conditions are stimulating
and the general average of energy in
the audience is high, the applause is
longer and louder. Whe ma cool eve
ming comes after q warm day, ap-
plause is always more frequent, be-
cause the people are stimulated. Just
watch and see"

usually by common consent the reso-

until the business Of the day has been
completed, and at about , or $50
o'clock the resolution is read, passed

The resolution always runs the

Few things are permitted to inter

The work goes grinding on through
the weeks and months. The house
passes laws setting apart holidays
that others may rest, and celebrate,
and revere the memory Of notable
men. but the house goes on with the
nations business without resting or
celebrating.

In the present congress there have
been twelve deaths and it is only
about half over. They are as follows:
Fred l.. Blackmon of Alabama. Sam

Elston of California, William +. Ma
son of Illinois, William II. I'rankhau-

Seniority or length of service has
long been Il controlling factor in many
things in the house of representatives.
! suppose 1t has always been SO more
or less, ana it Is a little more 50 now
than formerly, If possible.
A member gets his office room in the
house office building, his seat at com
mittee tables, his rank on his commit
tee, his craftsmanship of committee,
his place rs Il conferee on conference
committees of the house and senate,
and many other little favors and big
opportunities for influence through
seniority.
There was n time when the speaker
had some choice in fixing up commit
tees and chairmanships. You heard
Uncle Joe Cannon roundly "cuSsed'
about his exercise of that privilege a
few years ago Even then most of
the chairmcn were selected because
they had served longest on the com
mitteeS. But the speaker had some
latitude and he did make some indie
pendent appointments in an effort to
put the best qualified man in the
place. And often such appointment
raised Cain. About twelve years ago
there was Il revolution, Uncle Joe was
defeated for speaker, new rules were
adopted. Committee assignments are
now made by n large committee on
committees and the seniority rule Is
n1nrnlNr ,ll4Ap.j " T1a,a hoo. I.a-
bu one notable exception in years.
The present chairman of app-opria-
tons was not the high man but the
second high mar on the list.
Chairmon of committees have much
power and influence in directing legis-
lation. They can help write Iegisla-
ton. help push 1t through the commit
tee or hold il back. They have charge
Of ii on the floor. Many bills pass the
house in one form and the senate in
another. If one house refuses TO ac-
cept the amendments Of the other, the
bill IS sent to conference. Conference
committees include three or five mem-
bers from each house. The house con
ferecS now usually consist Of two
Republicans and one Democrat or
three Republicans and two Democrats
who have served longest on the com
mittce. These confcrees get together
and agree to anything they can and
report their findings back. These re-
ports are usually accepted by both
houses.
The seniority rule has been much
criticized, and there Is room for criti-
ciSm. But there IS something to be
said for il. Chairmen have the adj
vantage of long experience on their
committees. If they are not dubS they
nus have learned much about the
business in hand, and usually dubs do
not remain long in congress. Any
other method of selection would start
~logrolling, build up machinery and
factions and breed strife and trouble.
The old members are for the senior
ity rule, and while the new members
may be critical, ! rather fancy we will
never get far away from It.
However, after all is said. ii does
sometimes appear that seniority and
long service have more influence and
power in the house of representatives
than brilliancy and ability.

Home Problem of Members,

one of II c~OngreSman'S little troubles
is the home problem, getting a house
to live in. Washington is the highest
priced city in the country. Property
and rents are high. If Il man is there
alone he can live at q hotel. If he has
Il family lac must have a house or an
apartment. The hotels are high priced.
The houses and fats are cut Of sight.
What members pay for houses OF
course depends upon what they get
and want to pay. Several members
pay $500 Il year rent, and quite a
number pay from $1,000 to $1,000. OF
course they do not live on their
salaries. They get something from
back home. The members who try
TO live on their salaries, or nearly so,
pay from $50 to $3.50 a month for
a furnished house. And you don't
get as much In Washington for $500
n month as you can get in Colorado
cities for $50.
Within the moderate prices, houses
are very bard to get and usually I'M
desirable. Most residence property in
Washington Is built In rOWS-hOuseS
In solid blocks like store buildings.
They are usually II to 20 feet wide,
three stories high with three rooms on
each floor, windows only in front and
back, a front yard 10 or II feet deep.
