Present Session Of Congress May
Break Record of Long Standing
By Jack Stinnett
WASHINGTON — Answer ing
the mail orders:
T. C., Garrison. N. Y. — The
present session of Congress will
have to last until December 23
to br ak the record for the long
est sitting on record. It already
! is the second longest and the
“gentlemen’s agreement” for
three-day recesses now in opera
tion dots not come to an end un
, til December 18 so there is a
good chance that the redord
• will be broken. The longest sit
ting of Congress was the second
session of the 65th—“The World
War Congr ss”— which conven
ed on December 3, 1917 and ad
journed November 21, 1918 re
maining in session a total of 354
days. The present “gentlemen’s |
agreement” is actually a long re,
cess of som. five weeks, during
which a “skeleton staff’’ meets ev
cry three days (the longest re
cess permitted by law) and re
cesses for another thre. days, j
The principal part of the agree-:
ment is that no effort will be.

sentatives and those Senators up
for re-election to go home and

imind and a certainty that no one

lation to which they are opposed.
I). I- K., Amarillo. Texas—My
prediction WAS right that if
John J. “Jack” D: mpsey. New
Mexico Representative were de
feated in his race for the Sen
ate nomination, he would remain
in the national political pictur .
“The man who saved the Hatch
Act in the House” has been ap
pointed a member of the United
States Maritime Commission to
serve for six years. The four
year-old maritim. commission is
a very powerful independent
agency charged with develop
ment and improvement of our
merchant marine and any mem
ber of it is in a position to do
the government a r al service.
The Senate has not acted on Mr.
Dempsey’s appoin'ment an4 w ll
not act until regular se-sions are
resumed but so far indications
arc that he will be confirmed
without opposition,
R. It., Grand Rapids, Mich. —
It is true that the Civil Aero
nautics Board has licensed mamu
facture of a “spinless plane” but
you will have to write the board
here for details I can tell you
that the present price is about
$2,500 and that it is flown with
a steering whe 1 but NO rudder
bar. The board is conducting a
series of tests to determine how
long it takes a person to learn
to fly one and how much longer
it takes licensed pilots for this
type of plane to learn to fly the
regular type. The tests have not
been completed but early indica
tions are that a person can learn
to fly the spinless plane in about
20 hours and adapt this gnowled
ge to the regular type in 10 more
Incidentally if you are interest
ed in these small planes you may
want the opinion of aviation ex
perts here that barring a rise in
costs because of the defense pro
gram there may be “flivver plan
es" on the market in two or three
years that will sell for less than
$1000.
Mrs. M. J., Colorado Springs,
Colo.— Application for the posi
tion of hostess at one of tha
army contonments should be
made to the Commander of the
corps area in which you wish to
serve or to the Commandant of
the camp where you seek such
appointment. There are only 99
such positions to be filled and the
War Department here reports a
floodof applications. Hundreds of
these will have to be thrown out
mmedistely as it is apparent on
the surfac that the applicants
not equipped for the position.
(The reason most frequently giv
on for application for the job is
that “I wish to be near my son.)
If you are, as you say, a mother
ly person with years of exper
'i-nc as . hosto's-manager of a
arge tearoom it would be my
mess that your application
vou d certainly received consid
eration.
