Three senators were forced to place themselves iinder the care of physicians suffering from ail- ments directly or indirectly traee- able to the rigoréus special ses- sion. They were George of Georgia, Lewis of Illinois and Borah of Idaho. House members’ also haye felt the effects. 4 The changes in the membership of the “seventy-third congress since the election of November 8 last year have been few. And in each instance they have been just individual stories., No particular party issue or plan was seriously affected. . The Shifting Lineup ‘Two of the four changes in the senate were due to registrations. Cordell Hull of Tennessee gave up his seat to, become dean of the Roosevelt cabinet with the port- foljo of secretary of state. Claude A. Swanson of Virginia resigned to become secretary of the navy. Senators Walsh of Montana and Howell of Nebraska died.

The last congress—the seventy- second—saw 33 chahges in mem- bership from election time to finaly adjournment. Twenty-nine of these changes were caused by death. { Keeping Tab ‘These congressional casualties are always a matter of concern on capitol hill. The house em- ploys its own physician to keep tab on the health of the mem- bers. -He is a navy doctor and is constantly experimenting to bet- ter conditions under which the congressmen work. Last session he appealed to the speaker of the ho to ‘make things a bit easier for his charges. He warned that the was man- killing .and oun te slowed! down, In the senate one of its own members—Copeland of New York —is the self-appointed guardian of his colleagues’ health. “Doc” Copeland is constantly urging his colleagues to take care of them- serves.

(Pai IIs # ‘TEXANS COME IN FOR LARGE SHARE OF BIG. ‘SPOILS’ JACK GARNER’S STATE WELL SERVED WHEN MEMBERS MAKING UP DEMOCRATIC GROUP TOOK CONTROL By HERBERT PLUMMER (ty Anwociated Press) WASHINGTON, June When the democrats captured control of the house in the last congress the state of Texas came in for a large share of the “spoils.” Jack Garner became speaker. A round half-dozen of choice com- mittee assignments, including in- terstate and foreign commerce, judiciary, rivers and harbors and agriculture, went to that state. Despite the clamor from the north and west that the south was getting more than its share in the organization of the house, the Texans held on to their prized positions. 5 The special session, admittedly one of the most gruelling in his- tory, has been brought to a close. And in the house two Texans, chairmen of two of the major committees of that body stand out prominently. A Test Of Steering Among the most important pieces of legislation passed in the special session were the railroad bill and the securities act. Both of these measures were handled in the preliminary stages 29.— by the interstate and foreign com-} merece committee. Sam Rayburn, of Texas, ip chairman of that com- mittee. Rayburn has one of the best legislative batting averages of any of the democratic chairmen. He maneuvered both ‘of these import- ant pieces of legislation through the house without anything that smacked of real opposition. His railroad bill was the subject of no} fewer than 40 amendments during the course through the house. But in its final form only two words were added to the original text of the bill. The securities act was much the 2. Another Texas Pilot Marvin Jones, of Texas, chair- man of the agriculture committee, put through the house the far- reaching farm credit bill in the same manner. The interstate and foreign com- merce committee is admittedly one of the most thorough organiza- tions in the house, and not given to allowing anything to be hurried through. The house has come to realize that fact. That may ex- plain why measures that it re- ported to the house had such smooth sailing. With Jones it was strategy. The tall Texan proved himself one of the ablest strategists in the house during the special session by the manner in which he maneu- vered the legislation entrusted to his care.

WASHINGTON, June 29.- titular leaders of the house— Speaker Rainey, Floor Leader Byrns et al—have issued’ no state- {ments as to what they think of |the way their democratic brethren acted during the special session of congress just concluded. Aside from a few unpleasant moments, their leadership has had pretty smooth sailing,: notwith- standing the fact that the lash To a man who ‘has served 14 jconseeutive terms in the house; whose service dates back to-March 4, 1907, the manner in, whieh the jhouse conducted itself during the pepree most crucial months per- haps in the history of the coun- try, appears astounding. Adolph Sabath of the fifth Il- linois district has had opportunity to make comparisons, An Inside View Sabath says that he has never seen anything to compare with the performance of the house during ithe special session. To use his own words: “When it is considered that ap- | proximately one-third of the house is composed of new members, many of them quite .young,men, with set views ant a, determina- tion to force through legislation that they have advocated, it is re- jmarkable how many of them sub- merged their honest convictions and aspirations and joinéd hands jand manfully aided “-in), enacting speedily the important degisiation of this special session.” But while paeans of joy are be- ing sung at the present and con- jgratulations are being handed ;around freely, the very interesting j question of what’s going to hap- ;pen in January when the regular session of the seventy-third con- gress is convened comes to the fore. The Driving Force , One must not lose sight of the fact that the peace and harmony which prevailed in the house dur-} ing the special session rested on an extraordinary foundation. Chickens may be coming home to roost in January. | Then, too, by the time January} jrolls around Postmaster General | Farley will have passed a lot of pie over his patronage counter— perhaps all that is of any worth. The stage will be alliset for a battle of individualism in the | house.

Free from the tasks of the schoolroom, they look forward eagerly to the games and pleasures | j of the vacation period. But intelligent and careful planning for the holidays | is as essential for children as for adults, Since the routine of school health hility for health falls on the shoulders of parents, The vacation period of the average city child is usually spent with adult relatives at summer resorts, at organized camps, or in the year-round city environment. It is the unfortu- nate children who spend the last type of vacation who require the closest supervision. They should be particularly warned against over-exertion and heat pros- tration, against eating foods handled by street vendors, and against the The most tragic aspect of the child’s vacation period is the increased number of avoidable accidents to children due to the failure of parents and children to carry on the safety campaign waged throughout the school year. Although swimming is excellent exercise for children, particularly since it teaches them how to take care of themselves in the water, care should be taken to avoid the pollution of “the old swimming hole.” Children who go to summer camps should be examined in advance by the family physician and a record should be sent to the camp authorities so they may regulate the child’s activities in ac- cordance with his physical condition. Explosions Many accidents to children occur from the explosion of dynamite caps left lying around. vacant houses, summer cottages and other places where children may pick them up: The Institute of Makers of Explosives reports that 500 children are killed or injured annually from playing with blasting caps. Most of these acci- dents occur during the summer months. A still greater number of children are maimed by the explosion of firecrackers. Lock-jaw and burns are a serious danger. Don’t let the Fourth of July be a reminder that your child has lost his life, or an eye, or gome fingers from a firecracker explosion. In short, plan the child’s vacation eo that it combines the greatest freedom from the nervous tension of the formal classroom with the highest regard for the rules of healthful living and the greatest care to avoid acci- dents. ntinue the child’s regular rest period.
