soever this summer so busy
has she been, meeting her
constituents. And yesterday
afternoon she was in con-
ference for several hours
with the Government heads,
attending to some important
EMISSIONS for them. Mrs.
Rogers declares that she
shasn't had even a day off.

She has managed to do q little
flying this summer, however
for that is one of her favorite
pastimes-and very convenient
way to make the trips from

was training camp during the

In a Flash!
Mrs. Rogers has discovered a
new time saving scheme. For
sas she alighted from her plane
at these various camps-in the
twinkling of an eye, she was
ready to review the troops on

her flying suit. There's really
nothing that this charming Con.
gresham from Massachusetts,
can't do. She even rides a
z bicycle.
Pied Piper
One of Mrs. Rogers missions to
Washington concerned what might
be called the "rat situation" in
Massachusetts,. It seems that the
poor farmers have complained to
her about the armies of rats,
which are playing havoc with their
crops. Mrs. Rogers has turned
out to be modern pied.piper-
and Is consulting experts at the
Department Of Agriculture on the
subject.
