George Stewart, Architect Of the
Capitol, says vandalism Is major
problem Still only temporarily re-
paired is the picture of the Battle of
Lake Erie, through which someone
threw book. The National Gallery
restored the Gilbert Stuart portrait
of George Washington. Two men, one
20 years old, amused themselves by
shooting paper clips by slingshot at
Washington's heart. They tore hole
in the canvas which was patched until
it could be taken to the Gallery.
Mr. Stewart points out people write
and draw with npStick on the stone
rails of the Capitol. This cannot be
washed of, and a sanding stone must
be used. Some of the rails, he says,
are only couple of inches thick now
because of this constant sanding.
During adjournment. the "Tooner-
vile Trolley" the monorail which
runs between the Senate ONCE Build
ing and the Capitol, is repaired. For
years there has been a standard ap-
preparation of $500 year for main
tenance ana repair Of the subway.
All work is done by the Naval Gun
Factory, which built the subway in
1907 Only one OF the two cars runs
when Congress isn't in session.
Senate and House Post Offices have
an easier time when most Of the legis-
lators are away. Postmaster David D.
jennings points out the mail load in
the Senate post Office fiuctuates
sharply when controversial issues are
before Congress, and is three times
heavier during session. The "a
employees of the Senate post office
take vacations during adjournment,
so only two-thirds of the staff is
working then.
For the Senate and House pages, Of
course, there is no work. They are
paid through the last week Of the
greSs starts. Many Of them 60 home
for the fall school term, but II they
remain in washington they can at
tend the Page School In the Library
of Congress. The school makes no
allowance for the boys (ages 1919
just because they aren't working.
They have to 60 at the same hours
they do in sesSion-6:30 to 1890 am.
The school enrolment was 81 for the
last term. It will be between 80 and
SO for this term.
For some men in the Government
Printing Office the opening of Con-
gresS will mean a switch from day to
night work. Between ITO and 100
workers, mostly linotype operators
and proofreaders, will be switched to
the night shift so the printing work
of Congress can be turned out by the
morning.
Out Of session, all regular employees
Of the Hill have work to do. The
Senate Parliamentarian, for instance,
takes that opportunity to catalog the
npu minis af nrf1or &hot 3,ava l,nov,

with him to the district.
There's plenty of work for stats
during recess, too. They still get
good bit of mail. though not as much
as when Congress is in session. Agri-
culture bulletins by the thousands are
mailed to the voters. Most send out
Christmas cards.
Staff members have advantages they
don't get when their bosses are in ses-
sion. They can eat in the Capitol din
ing room reserved for Senators when
Congress Is meeting. A man can get
a haircut in the House barbershop
during morning hours-for only SO
cents, too. Only Representatives can
be shorn in the morning during seS-
sions.
They don't have to listen to the
loud bells which ring from one to
seven times in the office buildings to
signal the legislators to assemble.
They don't have to stand aside at
elevators marked: Reserved for Mem
bers During Roll Calls" They have
much less chance of being taken past
their floor in the Office buildings
because Senator Is on the elevator
(The operators, when they recognize
Senator, take him directly to his
floor without explanation to other
passengers who, ignorant Of the Gus
tom, often protest in vain.)
There are disadvantages, too. Pages
are available for official errands dur
ing sessions. but in the of months,
secretaries and administrative assist
ants must take their own memoranda
around and get papers from the
Document Room themselves.
The Senate keeps three dining
rooms open in the Capitol and one
available for special luncheons. The
Senate dining room Is open to the
public, with special tables set aside
for the few Senator's that eat there
out Of session. Fourteen walters are
on duty, but when the Senators return,
the number is doubled.
The Office of the Architect Of the
Capitol is busy place when Congress
is absent. Men and women who work
for this department do general
cleaning up and repair OF the building.
A major job recently completed was
the $285,000 project Of installing two
new elevators in the East Wing. It
seems reporters rushing to get out Of
the building had choice of the
crowded public elevator or the sup
posedly exclusive For Senator'S Only"
The newsmen often chose the faster
senatorial special. A traffic count
showed that two elevators-one for
the press, another for the public
were needed.
One Of the cleaning jobs is on the
many crystal chandeliers. The same
temporary force Of six women and
two men has been doing 1t for years.
The men climb ladders and carefully
take down the chandeliers. The
