Test Ice Box
on Insulation
BY WILLIAM II. BALDWIN
Author of "The shopping Book"
Written for NEA Service

Author of The Shopping Book"
Written for NEA Service
Collection of a practical ice
y box will solve the problem
OF providing adequate re-
frigeration.
How an ice box is insulated
is important. In the most
primitive type of box. insula-
ton is provided by an air space
between the outer and inner
shells Of tko box.
An improvement over this
dead air" type is one in which
the space is nlled with granular
cork. Even better are filings
of balSam wood and sheet cork.
Doors should swing closed
from the lightest push and
should be equipped with self
closing catches.
A good test is to close the
door on a sheet Of paper. If
you can take the paper out,
then the door does not close
tightly enough.
The lining of the ice box
controls and ease with which
the chambers can be kept
clean.
The cheaper grades are lined
with corrugated galvanized
iron: better grades have baked
! enamel Innings, and the best
are lined with porcelain
enameled sheet steel.

CITY REALTORS FAIL TO
JOIN PADDOCK PROTEST
Local Owners Given Chance to Evict
. Booze Violating Tenant.

Resolution similar to that adopted
by the National Association of Real
Estate Boards recently at a con-
ference in Chicago, against enforce
ment of padlocking laws, never has
been deemed necessary in Indian
apolis, according to officials of the
Indianapolis Real Estate Board.
The national association went on
record as opposed to enforcement
of such laws. because, it charged
they made shoppers of property
owners renting properties.
In Indianapolis prohibition agents
and prosecutors always have given
realtors opportunity to evict the
tenant in cases of nuisance by liquor
law violations, before attempts were
made to paddock the premises, they
say.

Espionage Acts Recall Days
When investigations"
Were Frequent.

WASHINGTON. May 16.-Mani-
festations Of espionage in Wash
ington within recent weeks in off,
cial life have not been paralleled
since the days of the Harding adj
ministration.
The rifling Of Senator Hiram w.
on two successive nights, together
with complaint OF three other sem
ators that their Offices were entered
during the fight upon Judge Parker,
has wildly recalled the days when
william j. Burns and CASTOR Means
we're part Of official life in Wash
ington.
Means later took the stand and
told a senate committee frank
story Of espionage upon senators as
it was practiced in the Harding re-
girne. he admitted that Offices were
entered and files searched for any
thing that would stop" a senator
whose activities seemed to menace
those in power.
la Toilette Investigated
Senator La Toilette. for instance,
was investigated Immediately after
introducing his resolution for inves-
tigation of the Teapot Dome lease.
"You investigated his Offices here
in the Capitol, did you not?" Means
was asked
Il saw that it was done"
"You investigated Senator La
Toilette at the instance of whom?"
Il investigated him right after he
introduced his resolution to investi-
gate Teapot Dome"
You went through his Office,
then, for the purpose of ascertain
ing what information he had rela-
tive to the Teapot scandal; is that
correct?"
Anything he had where he could
be stopped in what he was doing"
who gave you orders to do
that?"
soft PedaP' Advised
Il got those from Jess Smith and
Mr. Underwood How it was
going to be used 1 don't know, ex-
cept this way I would interpret it.
If you found something damaging
on a man you would quietly get
word to him through some of his
friends or otherwise that he had
better put the soft pedal on the
situation. That is the way the in
formation is generally used when
you find it."
In order to deter h'r from go
ing ahead with his work in the
senate?"
Work. in the senate or anywhere
else, before his constituents. where
ever he was, stop him. Use 1t aft
erward if he attempted to do any,
thing else"

HARVARD SCIENTIST

Hopes to AmaS Data on Shadow Of Moon Tomorrow

s Cam bridge, Mass, April II tPI - When the moon goes under partial eclipse about midnight tomorrow, one Harvard astronomer will be watching through ordinary field glasses.
 is The best second guesser would mot dream what this scientist, pr. Willard J. Fisher, looks for. His 9sauest is not on the moon, but in sthe earth's atmosphere, and the shadow on the moon furnishes q : lare opportunity for an almost ~unique investigation.
 s.s To Time Haze
 Dr, Fisher will time to a fraction +sof q minute the appearance of q Slight haze on the edge of the moon. : This haze is the portion of an eclipse shadow called the penum- ssars, not the true shadow of earth, but a wide circle of partial shadow ~-that surrounds the earth's black &-disc. He will time also the ending taf the peuumbra, which comes <. after the appearance and disap- .pearance CT, the umbra, or black Shadow.
 In contrast 10 this black central
 shadow, which has a predicta blo slime for duration, the penumbra' s feasibility varies uncertainty. Not all of this varying duration has been accounted for by astronomers, and
 Dr. Fisher suspects that some of the fluctuations may he due to ab- s sorption of light in the earth's at mosphere.

 This effect depends on the density @ of the air and the height it extends =. above the earth. By obtaining a - large number Of watch innings of

Underground Terminal
 Plans Are Discussed

New York, April II (UP)-Plans for an enormous underground rail- road terminal to cover 35 acres be- tween Madison Square and Union Square and accommodate 150 trains an hour running between Manhattan and New Jersey through two new tubes under the Hudson, will be an- nounced soon, it was learned today
 The project would cost many mll- lions of dollars, if put into operation, which appears doubtful. Cost of the property alone is estimated at-s56,- 100000.
 Executives Of four railroads which now use ferries between here and New Jersey said they would not cooperate in the project, and that their lines would not be extended to the central point.

has been bedridden.
Her maiden name was Mary
