bly, will be asked for a formal rul-
ing as to his powers in the case.
The President il outraged over
what he considers an open defiance
Of his wishes from an agency that
comes under the Executive Branch
of the Government. He does not
hold to the belief that the Shipping
Board as an independent office
should be permitted to operate with
out any check whatsoever.
All of the members are appointed
by the President which in itself
makes him accountable to the voters
for whatever action they may take,
he believes.
Further, Mr.. Coolidge feels that
the board has broken faith with
him. It was pointed out that, first,
the board, under a gentlemen 3
agreement with the President over
q year ago, delegated to the presi-
dent of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration full power to operate the
American merchant marine and
then revoked these powers. Second,
that HI. G. Dalton, of Cleveland,
was designated to study the ship
ping problem with Palmer and
O'Connor as aides, with an under
standing that nothing would be done
until Dalton's report had been sub
mitted.
Feels Responsible
If the President waits for Con-
gress to enact legislation to meet
the situation, he realizes that moth
ing can be done until well into the
spring. Meanwhile, he would feel
personally accountable to the peo-
pie for what the board did.
Therefore, he is determined to
act at once. Congress will be ask
ed for legislation in December, but
before that time he will try to GUST
the refractory members of the Ship
ping Board, rebuild that Organiza-
ton to his liking and work for the
reinstatement of Admiral Palmer.

Department Immediately and report
that Colonel Mitchell had refused

non conductors, or heat insulators. A
yacuum-that is, a space in which
there Is no air or anything else-is
one of the best heat insulators, for
practically no heat passes through It.
If an ordinary bottle is wrapped in
paper, asbestos or some other nom
conductor of heat, a hot liquid in that
bottle will lose its high temperature
slowly. If this bottle Is wrapped in
vacuum, the liquid will be kept
warm for an even longer time. This
Is what Is done in making Dewar
TASKS, or vacuum bottles. One bottle
Is nodded inside of another and the
air IN the space between the two
bottles is pumped out, leaving a
vacuum blanket" to insulate against
temperature changes.
Vacuum bottles are not the only
places in which heat insulation is
used. Asbestos heat insulating jack
water pipes or steam pipes: woolen
caps are used in covering coffee pots;
paper packing, mineral wool and hol-
low spaces are used in insulating an
icebox. So far. no one has used a
vacuum wall for this sort of heat
insulation, but that is no sign II will
not be done in the future.
These bottles are made of glass and
| metal, but practically always they
are polished on the outside and "sil-
ver- -mirrored" on the inside to de-
feet or throw back heat rays and

Called Magic" In Dark Ages.

Do you carry your lunch to school?
Did you go on long hikes last Sum-
mer? Then, OF course, you carried
along bottle that kept your lemon
ade cold or your soup hot, whichever
you wanted. No doubt you wondered
just how this curious bottle works.
James Dewar, the inventor, was
great British chemist. One of the
things he did quite successfully was
to make air into a liquid. He did the
same thing with number of other
gases. After he had liquefied air De-
war was in a strange AK. He didn't
have any place to put the new liquid
where 1t would keep properly.
In order to have some place in
which to keep his new product, the
scientist invented the Dewar flask,
or vacuum bottle. Just how does it
happen that these bottles can hold a
steady temperature? Why can these
bottles keep q substance cold or hot
for many hours? The answer can be
found by looking over a couple of
the queer properties Of heat.
Heat Is like a railroad train-it
travels. In order to travel 1t must
have something TO travel on or
through. Heat will travel through
air, wood, metal, glass or liquid. It
goes through some of these things
much faster than others.
Some substances, such as asbestos,
sawdust, cork, wool, paper and hollow
tile, are poor heat conductors because
of the dead air spaces" in them.
Substances like this are known as

Uncle Joe's Boy and His Work

Joe. his face marked by several long
smudges, sat idly on pile of old au-
tomobtle tires in front OF the garage
while he watched Uncle Joe, owner of
the little place.
'Honk" Joe looked up TO see a big

The detective in charge figured
that If the dog was as clever as the
man said, he might very well be part
of an animal act in a vaudeville show.
so he set his detectives to 'cover" all
places in the city where theatrical
people were usually found.
Miss Alan had offered $1,000 reward
for her jewels. 80 people were on the
lookout. In a few days a man called
up and said a young fellow he knew
only slightly had that day tried Il
sell him a necklace which seemed
like one of those Miss Alan said she
lost. A detective soon found the
young fellow, searched his rooms,
and found part of the missing jewels.
The young man confessed that the
Jewels had been given him by a girl
friend to sell for her. He said she
was vaudeville performer part
owner Of a trained animal act-but
had left town the day before and he
didn't know where she could be
reached.
Detectives found the place the
young lady had lived in and discov-
cred that her trunks had been ex-
pressed to Cincinnati.

The Clue of a Spotted Dog.

Once a little spotted dog helped
solve a big stolen jewels mystery
but, of course, he didn't know the
Important part he was playing.
He'd played other parts, though, but
well, this is the story.
A famous actress-Tn call her
Miss Alan. but that isn't her real
|name-stepped from a cab in State
|Rtreet, Chicago, a few years ago,
|and as she did so, handbag slipped
from her lap, unnoticed, and dropped
into the gutter. She entered a hair
6resser's and the cab moved away.
Two young women, one leading a
small, spotted dog on a chain, were
passing. They saw the bag fall and
when the cab moved away one Of
the girls picked up the bag. She
went into the hairdressers with the
bag while the other girl waited out
side, amusing herself by making the
dog sit up and beg and do other
tricks. Then the other girl came
out. as though she had left the bag.
and away they strolled.
Shortly afterwards Miss Alan dis
covered that her bag was missing
and the detective bureau was set
on sthe trail.
The only clue was that man had
Iseen the girls and the bag, just as
described. He didn't remember what
they looked like, but he did GemeR-
