GOTHAM GOES BACK
TO TIC MILK BOTTLE
Paper Containers Did Not
Prove Acceptable to
That Town.

Local glass men will be interested
IN the outcome OF the effort made in
New York city to substitute paper
containers for the familiar glass bot.
tie for the retail distribution of milk.
Many Of the glass bottles are made
every year in this state and naturally
when the Governors Fair Price com.
mittee urged the adoption of the pa.
per container and the Health depart.
ment OF the city added its endorse.
ment a situation was created which
was calculated to cause anxiety in the
glass industry. But the scheme has
blown up.
This acknowledgment OF the glass
milk bottle by actual demonstration as
the only practical and safe container
for bottling milk Is one OF the greatest
possible victories for the Glass Con.
tainer Association and tends to indi.
cate that whenever and wherever the
glass container can be established uni
versally for foods, ETC., no other con.
tanner can be substituted for 1t, sim.
ply because the people will not STAND
for II. This last Is the chief cause
for the discrimination OF the paper
contsiner for milk in New York city.
The people have become accustomed
TO seeing their milk and TO Judging its
quality by the cream line. This they
could not do in the paper container.
There were many other reasons why
the Trtixton Dairy company. who tried
out this experiment, discontinued the
use Of the paper .container. From the
standpoint OF the milk dealers, per.
haps the greatest argument against
the paper container Is the fact that 1t
cannot be adapted to machine filling
and Gaping, nor can it be adequately
iced and the milk kept at low tenn
perature without great danger of leak
ers.
other reasons are: /. By hiding
cream line, 1t tends to promote fraud
on the part lof the dealer who may
substitute SKINNED milk for whole
milk: 2:high cost OF paper which is
getting higher all the. time; 3. Gus
toners complain Of 1t; a. loss of milk
by leakefs;; 5. testes Of paraffine; 6.

A uniform price of 1920 cents a pound,

sioner. said today.
"Many retail dealers complained of
varying wholesale prices On sugar" said
being as high as ITO cents. ! held n
meeting with wholesalers and we agreed
upon a price OF 1920 cents a pound"
The price was arrived at by taking the
New York price of 16 cents. adding AS
for freight and rs for margin of profit
The retail price on Cuban graduated
sugar generally is 10 cents a pound
Housewives are advised by Mr.. Wyckoff
to buy sugar for the summer canning
season before June 1. Sugar is more
plentiful and the market is easier now
than 1t has been for many months, he
said.
1t Is possible, he said, that in three
weeks sugar can be bought by whole
salers in the New York market for II
cents a pound. It now is quoted at that
figure but can not be bought at that
price, he said.

ment institution possesses rate-makirg
authority
Value of rolling stock of the Kansas
City Southern railroad was not offered
fOE consideration by the supreme court,
according to dispatches, but the court
found for the appellant on its present-day
cost Of right-o way and terminals con
tention.
The Indiana commission has followed
the rule established in several other
states of basing valuation estimates on
an average of production costs through
out q period Of five years. In the case
OF the Bell telephone companies the com
mission took an average Of production
costs in the years from 1913 to 1918.
Present-day material prices were held by
the commission to be abnormal, and,
therefore, not suitable to the formation
OF sound rate-fxing estimate.
RESULTS HARD
To FORESEE.
It is difficult to foresee the results of
the establishment Of the new basis Of
valuations. AS far as rates are con-
cerned it Is quite clear that the repro
duction new" values of nearly. all utili-
ties would make rates nearly double
present rates II a profit margin Of per
NenL is maintained.
II a telephone company's property cost
1900 i've years ago, 1t IS worth today
pSO0'oOO in fair round figure estimate,
1t is asserted. That is, It would cost that
much TO reproduce it today. without con-
fusing the figures with depreciation ex-
pense, rates for that company, based on
the original valuation, would amount to
per cent Of 100000 plus the cost OF
operation. That would mean upward Of
$1,000. The same percentage Of profit
on 100000 valuation would mean
about $4,000 plus the cost of operation,
which would be the same under either
valuation
Thus~1t is seen that the new valuation
as against the old system would mean
rate increases of more than % per cent
Even In cases where the hve-year-
period valuation basis is used, the new
valuation would mean rate increases OF
more than rs per cent, experts say.

SIMS PLACES
HIS CRITICS IN
ANANIAS CLUB
Campaign of Deliberate
Propaganda Against Him,
He Tells Senators.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Admiral
Sims declared there was a cam
paign of deliberate propaganda" to
discredit him when he reappeared
today before the senate committee
investigating his controversy with
Secretary Daniels.
Sims denied he was ''pro-BIttish. 4"
He said his father was an American
Of revolutionary stock and he CHANGED
to be born in Canada because his
mother happened at the time to be
on q visit to her father, who was a
Canadian.
When he was told during the war that
he was being accused of being "pro-
British" be said he replied: why don't
they send a pro-German over here with
a trunk full of bombs?"
While he stated that the American
navy's part in the war was one Of
marked efficiency, once we got into It,"
Admiral Sims declared that the "vacillst-
ing policy" Of the navy department dur
ing the early months Of the war was re-
sponsible for prolonging it several
months.
HAD we been prepared at first, the
war would have been shortened at last
four months" Admiral Sims declared.
''As the war cost an average of 5000
lives a day and millions Of dollars, the
seriousness of this delay can be realized.
But we entered the war unprepared,
despite two years in which we saw II
coming. We were unorganized and the
department had no plan. 1t pursued a
vacillating policy during the first few
months.
The war was won by fortunate COM
bination of circumstances which it is IN
wise to count on in the future" Sims
said.

Bright in Indiana

doesn't hsppen once In ten years, so this
years crop should be record breaker.
