Special Dispatch to The Age-HernId)
 Washington, February 25.-rhe people of the United States have wondered at times how it was that a sparsely settled western state like Wyoming with it's less than 200, 900 population could come to claim for it's lone representative in Congress the floor leadership of the House of Representatives
 The answer is not difficult to find. In longevity of service there have been few men in the house who have exceeded the record of Representative Frank W. Monde1l. In steadfastness of service I venture to say there has been none to equal his record
 During his 25 years of service in the House, Mir. Mondell has missed just six legislative days. Such an achievement in scientious public service is nothing short of phenom- enal. One of the six absent days the floor leader was i'll. Another day he was delayed by a serious train wreck in reaching Washington. On the four other absent days of quarter of a century in the halls of Congress mat ters of urgent business claimed him.
 Never Roasted
 Extraordinary as his service has DSHH, MT MOHuetl mas never DoaSlGu of it. This statement of his record will be news to virtually all of his colleagues and to Gll the older gov ernment officials in Washington. Mir. Mondell has another record in that he has never been on congressional ..junket." He has remained in Wash ington during the. sessions and has gone home during the longer recesses and the adjournments.
 During all the time I have been in Congress" said MT. Mondell yester- day, T have been the entire state delegation, so far as the House is con- cerned. Wyoming is one of the Amer ican commonwealths which have but a. single representative. A state of wide public domains and many natur- al resources, Wyoming has been di rectly and keenly interested in much national legislation. I hae felt that tional legislation.

Sabetha, Kan. February 25.-Mrs. Bertha Perkins. who will be sS years Id next April, found a real thrill

and perhaps, after all, is not so com mon place even to the Washington resident.
 MT. Chief Justice Taft. great com moner that he is, boarded the rather crowded car at Seventeenth and Il streets. He had just come from meeting of the American Bar asso- citation in Continental Memorial hall. where the arms conference was held. He had made a notable address as head of tine American Judiciary.
 As the former president moved up the aisle a passenger slid over and made a place for him to sit down. Mir, Taft had scarcely settled him. self. however, when a woman came along and looking about her, saw standing room only. The chief woman. recognizing in the polite passenger. the former president, blushed with confusion and at tempted to decline the proffered place. Mir. Taft was insistent. how ever, and reluctantly she took the seat.
 About this time. young man across the aisle, immersed in d news paper, noticed what was going on. He too, recognized MT. Taft who by this time was swinging onto a strap with all the patience and persever- ance of the confirmed strap-hanger. The young man bounced up with great alacrity and insisted that Mr Taft take his place. This time 1t was the chief justice who blushed q bit and attempted to decline tho proffered place. But the young man was just as insistent with the dis tinguished jurist as the latter had been with the woman and so with many thanks the chief justice took the seat and the journey proceeded with everybody happy.
 It is a great joy to all concerned when the debates in the senate take a humorous, good natured turn. Too often they are ill-tempered and ugly. There was genuine delight in the first debate a few days ago on the personnel of the foreign debt com mission. The democrats were com blaming. not bitterly nor bitingly, but with good deal of badinage, that President Harding had shghtod their party completely in the make up of the commission. This led 10 a great deal of twitting and, marking one of the few days when the Sen ate adjourns with everybody happy. Senator Williams, of Mississippi, de- clared that in the making of ar engagements with the allies for the payment of their loans, the demo- crats were not to be allowed even an .obserber" of reporter. About this time Senator Borah chimed in and asked if the democrats did not have representative at the arms conference.
 Yes" assented MT. Williams.
 Then how much do you want" insisted the senator from Idaho.
