NEW MILK PROBE
DEMAND STUDIED
BY SENATE GROUP
Chairman King Given Views
of Mrs. Boyle of Con.
sumers' Council.
INCREASE IN PASTURE
CITED AS CUTTING COST
Farmers Said to Believe Too
Much Spread Exists in Price
to Purchasers.

Chairman King Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee today was considering
another demand for thorough inves-
tigation of high milk prices, which are
expected to continue here after the
availability of Spring pasturage cuts
the cost of production.
The demand was made by Mrs. John
Boyle, jr, chairman of the Washing
ton Consumers Council, and followed
the announcement by B. B. Herrick
director of the Maryland Virginia Milk
Producers Association, that the a.
cent price will be continued here after
May /.
This price was agreed to by the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administration
last Fall as a temporary emergency
measure necessitated by the lack OF
pasturage and the high price of feed
Experts say the reasons for the price
boost no longer exist.
In her letter to Senator King, Mrs
Boyle declared, Thousands of schoo
children and sick today are unable te
enjoy the proper amount of milk be.
cause they are not in financial posi-.
tion to purchase milk due to the high
price prevailing"
Investigation Indicated.
Mrs. Boyle pointed out that las
Summer Senator King expressed in.
terest in the problem and said h.
would conduct an investigation int
the entire situation.
There is no justification for con.
tinuing the high price tc the con.
sumerss" Mrs. Boyle wrote, "in view
of the fact that the milk producer.
will not have to buy much feed fol
their cows in the Spring"
Attacks Dealer Margin.
ut has been the contention of m,
council for the last four years tina
the price of milk in Washington il
too. high. Our position is based upor
the extraordinary dealers margin
which always remains the same, re
gardless of the price paid to tn,
farmer" Mrs. Boyle declared.
1T has never been proved what i
costs the farmer to produce his mill
nor what it costs the dealer to pas
teurize, bottle and deliver it. We dt
know that the retail price to tn,
consumer In Washington is higher
than in most other cities of similar
size. The Washington consumer.
asked the Maryland and Virginis
Milk Producers Association and thu
distributors to justify their price A

fore the A. A. A.. when the milk mar.
keting agreement was up for consid
Grafton, there was no evidence of,

Cod liver oil fed to pigs was the
idea OF the animal nutrition authori-

was thought that the pigs needed the
vitamin D found in the oil, and they
apparently thrived on the daily doses

RED M'INTOSHES
 ARE ON MARKET

"Macs" are herel And that's cer- tainly something for apple-wise housewives to shout about, for the Mcintosh Is the favorite of all the apples grown In our New York and New England orchards. Fir and juicy with a sweet but tart flavor found in no other apple, this ruddy ai1l- bassador of the King of Fruits is a perennial favorite, with pie-lovers and those who eat them raw, skin and all.
 Already In local markets. Macs are still tree-fresh and full of the good- ness which characterizes the va- riety. There are lots of them for sale, and just as many ways to serve thme. Bake whole: crushed for ap- plesauce, or between the haky crusts of & pie-Macs are "tops."
 As hefits their lofty position in the fruit world, Mc1ntoshes were born" just e few years after the birth of the United States. Dates vary, but some records show that the Mcintosh "came into the world" about ten years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. History tells us that John Mcintosh of Rundela, Canada, was clearing brush to build e new home when he found e lone seeding apple tree on his property. The tree grew and bore fruit, the first Mc1ntoshes on record. Tn 1908 the tree caught fire from a nearby burning house and burned down. A monument now marks the spot where 1t grew.

tSAANSE VSAVu1G WI find when 1t i5 perfectly prepared.
 An Italian once showed me how to cook spaghetti so that each strand would come out separate perfectly done, yet without the mushy appearance so often found in American restaurants. A large quantity Of water should be salted and brought to a full rolling boil; the spaghetti put in whole-not broken-and dropped in slowly enough so that the water will not stop It's boiling. Boil continuously for 12 minutes and the spaghetti will be done. Blanch 1t In hot water, if you are going to use 1t at once; if it Is to stand awhile blanch in cold water; strain, of course, in either case.
 Both spaghetti and ravioli make excellent main dishes for luncheon or dinner, needing little more than Q green vegetable or salad and Q simple dessert to round out e well- balanced menu. Both are econom. ical dishes as to cost; but they do take o little time in the making We shall try this spaghetti recipe for Q luncheon main dish and put

WINSLOW Famous Young American Dancer

Much is being said these days about New England cooking and the old-time down -Easters" who were responsible for it, but it's nothing new to Miriam Winslow, famous young American dancer who at twenty-four is the head of her own dance conservatory. Brought up in the usual manner accorded to children of socially prominent families, Miss Winslow never had much opportunity to do much experimenting in the family kitchen. New England dishes pre- pared from the carefully guarded Winslow recipes were no novelty to the lovely young Junior Lea guer who was later to renounce the social whirl to make dancing her profession.
 It was not until she established 0 summer ballet camp at the family farm in New Hampshire, that Miss Winslow was able to acquaint herself with first hand informa- ton on the how and why of New England cooking. She spends every free moment between classes in her quaint Early American kitchen preparing dishes which have long

MIDDLETOWN CURRENT RATE
Lowered To 6 Cents Per XIV To
Electric Users by Town Council

Middletown Town Council Mon
day night approved Mayor Louis
Levinson's recommendation for a
reduction of 25 per cent in electric
light rates for the benefit of the
small consumer. About a veal ago
similar action was taken on COM
mercial rates. The mayor said the
new schedule will place the two
classes of rates on an equal basis.
The rates adopted provide for a
charge of six cents per 100 kilo-
watt hours of consumption and
three cents for each hour in excess.
Increased consumption, the mayor
said, would justify the reduction.
He pointed out that the electrical
power output has tripled in the
past seven years and said that the
policy of rate reductions
was responsible for the plants fine

was named to arrange for street
