Mr. McFall says. n do not en-

Mr. McFall is proud TO report

them as votes OF confidence IN nis

10 make this funeral home not only

the torrid, humid climate, and have
to get such sleep as they can in hot
rooms which are not conducive to
rest.
The result is the greatest collec-
ton of frayed nerves and hair
trigger tempers ever gathered on
Capitol Hill. Congress as whole
is physically unfit to debate calmly
and reason clearly over any legisla-
tive proposal.
Senator Royal s. Copeland of
New York, a physician and former
health commissioner, said frankly
and publicly the other day that
such WORKOUT, dog-tired, heat
smitten and generally rundown ag-
gregation as the senate and house
at this time could not possibly give
balanced, well-considered Or states
manlike judgment.
Senator Copeland prescribed an
immediate and long vacation, and
the indications now are that con-
greSs will act ON that prescription
and go home around the middle Of
August, perhaps earlier, leaving the
presidents new tax program for
cooler consideration, either at the

President Not
In Ailing Health
Standing The Heat Better Than
Most Of Capitors Residents;
''Silly Season On

WASHINGTON, July 22-(Auto-
caster)-About the only person in
washington who is not completely
worn out by work and worry in the
jungle heat of a Capitol summer is
the president of the United States.
That fact is noted here to dispel
rumors that the presidents health
is failing.
Washlngton's silly season" always
produces crop of gossip and rumor
about whoever happens to be
occupying the. White House. Sly
whispers are exchanged, passed on
and magnified in the passing, about
the incumbent presidents morals
or his heall,. These get circulated
around the country, until a lot of
people who ought to know better
than to credit irresponsible gossip,
get to believe that there is some
thing seriously wrong.
This years gossip touches the
presidents health. Nobody is
whispering ABOUT his morals, but
you can hear in any bar or clubs,
at almost any social gathering or
even on street corners inside" but
false information to the effect that
Mr.. Roosevelt is physically in a bad
way. The gossip mongers will tell
you that the infantile paralysis,
which has deprived him of the use
of his legs for the past fourteen
years, is creeping upward, affecting
his nervous system and his diges-
ton and causing his doctors alarm,
etc., etc., etc.
President Spikes Rumor
That is not true, but the rumor
has become so persistent that the
president himself took notice of it,
and at recent press conference
called attention to his robust ply
steal condition and the colmness Of
his nerves.
While he cannot take any form of
exercise that involves the use of
his legs, such as riding, golf or ten
mis-, he gives great attention to
keeping fit, gets his exercise by
swimming in the White House pool
for half an hour every day, and is
probably now in better general
health than when he took office.
He plans to demonstrate the truth
about his health to the whole ma
ton next monJn, Wnen he will cross
the continent and make several
speeches at strategic points.
The president has one advantage
over congress, in that he sleeps in
the same building that he works in,
and does not have to expose himself
to 100-degree temperatures in pass
ing from one conditioned room
to another. Congressman, although
their working quarters are air.
cooled, cannot escape exposure to
