just as soon as he can arrange
his affairs following the adjourn
ment Of Congress. Some time in
April 1t is the, intention Of Sena-
tor Walsh Of Massachusetts, to
proceed to Europe. And one Of
the most interesting of the Euro.
pean travellers will doubtless be
Senator William E. Borah Of
Idaho, who has innumerable invi-
tations to visit various European
capitals because of his interest in
international affairs and the rela-
tons Of this Government with
those of Europe. Consequently,
his familiar figure riding Western
fashion through the bride paths

FIVE members of the Senate
are due to have a splendid
summer jaunt through the great
forest tracts in various parts of
the country, for an investigation
with an idea Of formulating a per-
manent reforestration policy for
the country has been authorized,
and the small group of solons will
make it.
And a similar tour, with the
idea Of investigating the various
veterans institutions throughout
the country. will engage the holi-
day attention OF joint investigat-
ting committee that will consist of
three members of the House and
three from the Senate.
THE first real junketing trip to
get started, however, will be the
cruise Of the transport Hender-
son, which has been arranged by
Secretary of the Navy Edwin
DENLY, and for which there are
more than 100 reservations made,
despite the fact that there are but
sixty first-class accommodations
aboard the vessel. The Hender-
son will leave Washington about
the 9Th Of March. and the winter
maneuvers Of the great American
fleet and its target practice, as
well as an inspection tour Of the
Panama canal, form the official
background Of this jaunt, for
which the members of Congress
making 1t will have to pay under
a dollar and a half a day, and
which will give them a six-week
holiday.

Germany. The Panama canal and
the West Coast bases, as well as
Alaska, are included in this
itinerary. But the sad part Of It.
from the junketeers' viewpoint. is
that those who make the trip will
have to pay their own transporta-
ton back East from Spokane.
which Is the last stop of the jaunt.
Bookings, however, are looking up.

Washington, the habitat of
the Congressman, although not
his native heath, is due to be
o pretty well deserted village
90 far as the statesmen are
concerned, because of the va
riety of trips that have been
planned, officially and per-
sonally.
THE dignified Senators are not
going to flock to the so-called
tunkets that have been arranged
In numbers that can compare to
their less important brethren on
the other side Of the Capitol.
Five Of them. however. win ex-
pl0re the central parts or the
United States. for they have been
named on q commission to In
vestieate the nine-foot channel
project from the Great Lakes to
the. Gulf Of Mexico, and this will
give them an outing combining
business and pleasure which will
last at least six weeks.
Two dignified and august solons
are already paying preliminary
penalty for their outing as MEM
bers Of the United States COM
mission that will go to Chile.
These are Senator Kellogg Of
Minnesota and Senator Pomerene
Of Ohio. The health laws Of Chile
require that all persons visiting
that country shall have been vac
cinated. In grave and diplomatic
fashion That sad news was re-
ported to the State Department,
and Mr.. Secretary of State
Hughes, who was to have been a
part Of the commission. seems to
have lost interest almost imme-
diately, although his condition
was doubtless complicated by the
situation abroad. So far as is
known he has not yet been vac
cinated.
But Senators Kellogg and Pom
creme have. The deed was done
early this last week and as their
colleagues have greeted them dur
ing the past few days as the
taking process elaborated, 1t
has been provocative of smiles to
see the manner in which the two
Senators have avoided having
their arms bumped or handled
with any particular vigor.
Of course the Presidential trip
" to Florida still remains a
topic of absorbing interest. Mrs.
Harding continues to convalesce
splendidly and has been getting
about more and more each day.
Secretary Hoover, who has been
pretty much on the job, may
make a European trip if the af-
fairs of his department will per-
init, for there is to be held at
Rome an international conference
on radio communications, and
since he has been most active in
arranging Americas part in this
