AS touching fuel. More heat goes
out through our chimneys than is
distributed throughout the house.
The principle Of the thermos bottle
and freless cooker should and must
ultimately be applied TO our homes.
There is again the process of cool
ing. II we can heat our nc mes in
the winter. why not cool them in the
summer?
Mr. Bell calls attention to the
well known scientific principle that
cold air is heavier than warm air.
That YOU can take a bucket OF cold
air. carry il about I'm the summer
and never spill a drop. BY the OBJ
servance Of this principle Mr.. Bell
reduced the temperature in his liv-
ing room on a hot summer day in
Washington to 65 degrees.
Thus a thousand doors are vet
closed waiting 10 be opened by the

IT'S fine to see the old world and
travel up and down
Among the famous palaces and
cities Of renown;
To admire the crumbly castles and
statues Of the kings,
But now l think I've had enough
of antiquated things.
So its home again, and home again,
America for me,
My heart is turning home again,
and there I long TO be
In the land Of youth and freedom,
beyond the ocean bars.
Where the air is fun OF sunlight,
and the flag is full Of stars.

power in the air.
And Paris is a woman's town, with
flowers in her hair.

it's great 10 study Rome.
