WASHINGTON, June 26.-The
Joint Committee on the Organiza-
ton of Congress was just asking
for suggestions on how to reor-
ganize Congress, but what it got
was a suggestion on how to re-
organize congressman.
1t came from DR.. gorge w.
Calver, the Capitors official
medico.
What he said in essence was
that the members of Congress are
killing themselves with over
work.
Doc" Calver has had his hand
on the pulse of Congress ever
since the war broke loose. There
never has been a physician at
the Capitol who has seen such
extended sessions, so much pres
sure on his charges.
He not only diagnosed Con
greSs as overworked, but he Of
fered a whole alphabet of dos
and don'ts" to improve their
health and prolong their lives.
Both chambers are in the habit
of meeting at noon or at IL a. m.
Committees almost invariably
meet at 10 a. m. There isn't a
member of Congress who isn't on
one or more committees, and
some are on as many as nine. This
means that a member has to be
at his office between eight and
nine, answer the so to 100 letters
or other communications he will
receive in an average working

Blaze

DETROIT, Aug. Ia - (R) -
Police and fire officials pushed
an inquiry today into one of De-
troit's worst calamities in his
tory the boxing plant blaze
which snuffed out the lives of
l3 persons yesterday.
In the hushed rooms Of Re-
ceiving hospital doctors and
nurses worked at the same time
TO keep the death toll from ris-
ing, with more than a score of
injured and burned under treat
ment.
The swift blaze. feeding on in
flammables, broke out in mid
afternoon and swept the plant
of the Export Box e. Sealer
Company. Within moments the
two-story building had turned
into crucible, and the employ
es, mostly women, fought to es-
cape.
Some, with clothes aflame,
plunged through upper story
windows to the sidewalk below.
One woman burned to death on
a window ledge.
Bodies Of several victims were
burned beyond rec ignition.
Three remained to be identified
many hours afterwards.
Two men, both employees,
were under technical arrest to-
Gay as the investigation pro-
crossed. One of them was burn
ed and in the hospital as police
prisoner.
The company. which employees
100 persons, was engaged /
boxing war materials for over
seas shipment. Fire Marshal Ed
ward w. Hall said one theory
was that the fire resulted from
leak Of inflammable matter
from a decreasing tank.
Many workers live in the
neighborhood Of the plant. on
Grand River and Fifteenth
street, and pitiful scenes were
enacted as relatives came from
their homes and tried to iden-
tify victims.
The fire was Detroits worst
since the Study Club fire Of
1929, in which 80 persons died.
President r. j. Thomas Of the
United Automobile Workers
(CIOO Union announced he
would demand a grand jury In
vestigation Of the boxing fac
tory blaze. Employees are men,
