Borden Milk Co., tonight called
the report of the Monopoly Com
mittee on price-fixing conditions
within the dairy industry "a COM
bination of rather bewildered rhet-
oric and unsubstantiated charges"
There can be no doubt" Mr..
Montague said, that the industries
which represent and provide a live
lihood for great proportion of our
citizens are hampered and impeded
in their plans for putting men to
work and in investing money be-
cause of the hostile and capricious
attitude on certain branches of the
Federal Government and of their
spokesmen."
Mr.. Montague charged that the
committee submits not facts but
implications of monopoly within
the industry He contended that the
evidence does not indicate that the
Borden company engages in mo-
nopolistic practices.

and at the same time had put more
money into the pockets of his farmer
producers on the average than did
the other producers"
The commission contradicted tes-
timony given before the Monopoly
Committee by Bernie F. Beach, Sec
retary-manager of the Michigan
Milk Producers Association, and
Kenneth L. Vardon, president of
the Detroit Local of the United
Dairy Workers Union, that Mr..
Johnsons ability to lower the price
of milk in Detroit was due to the
fact he was paying farmer pro-
ducers less than the big distributors
in that city and that he was paying
his employees lower wages.
Hold johnson Price Higher.
1t contended that the Johnson
company average was as high as
that of other companies. It said
that, while the price M. johnson
paid for milk at the farm was low
er than the average class l price
the total received by farmers for
all of their milk was higher than
the average.
Discussing the testimony of Mr.
Montague and Mr.. Mc1nnerney, the
commission said:

1t continued:
1T was not the contention of
the Federal Trade Commission that
the Borden Milk Co., by itself, or
the National Dairy Products Corp,
by itself, had ever controlled the
price of milk all over the country.
1t was, however, the contention of
the commission that these two cor

Attractive Windows
Bring Attention as
Sales Factor
Conditioning Also
Pictured as Asset
To Modern Homes

Windows are all-important In
controlling the outside appearance
of a home and its inside decorative
effects as well as contributing to
the comfort and happiness Of the
occupants, states the American
Builder, leading construction jour-
nal, in its current issue.
"Some Of the newest ideas In
home building for cutting costs and
increasing quality apply to win
dows," the magazine points out, "and
that is fortunate since the public
taste seems to be more and more
toward glass, cheerful interiors and
sunshine. We are all getting to
be -worshipers-in the home
and apartment, as well as on the
bathing beach; and windows, win
dows and more windows are being
called for.
"AnalyZing the work Of some OF
the country's most successful oper-
ative builders brings out the fact
that they are practically designing
their best selling houses around its
windows In their most profitable
homes the windows are something
more than Mere openings in the
wall. They have a far greater
role than that of letting light ir

come to look upon window condi-
tioning as a definite sales factor.
Window conditioning Is double
glass insulation. Like all other forms
of building insulation, it pays for
itself in fuel savings alone. And
because window conditioning costs
less than other desirable forms of
insulation and saves more fuel for
each dollar invested, it is the first
step to take toward winter comfort" ;"
The magazine supports its conten-
ton with figures quoted from the
American Society Of Heating and
Ventilating Engineers showing that
window conditioning will save ap-
proximately % per cent of the fuel
used in the typical uninsulated sub
urban residence.
New Unit introduced.
Characterizing it as "revolu-
tionary window Development" the
magazine calls attention to the re-
cent introduction of a window con-
ditioning unit called thermopane.
"Thermopane is double-glazed

get much wear.
Flowerpots.
Question: How can ordinary clay
floWerpots be painted?
Answer: Flowerpots must be
painted inside as we'll as out, for
otherwise, moisture soaking through
from the inside would take off the
outside finish. Give the inside a
coat of aluminium paint and use
house paint or enamel on the out
side. Plants will not grow as well
in painted flower pots as in un-
painted, for air cannot reach the
roots as freely.
Painting Whitewashed Ceiling.
Question: I have two bedroom
ceilings that have always been
whiteWashed. Now I would like to
paint them. How should treat
them? What should I use to wash
them with?
Answer: The first step in paint
ing your ceilings should be to take
oil the WhlteWaSh. You can do this
with plain water and large sponge.
Apply the water, let it soak for
few minutes, apply more If neces-
sary, and then. after wringing out
the sponge. wipe off the whitewash.
Let the ceiling dry thoroughly before
painting.
Instead of oil paint, you could use
cold water paint made with casein.
This goes on like whitewash, but
has the advantage of being wash
able when dry.
Painting Cellar Walls.
Question: My cellar walls are in
very poor shape, due to the finish
peeling off. The walls originally
seemed to be finished with a lime
and dirt finish, and especially at the
ground level the dirt falls of, and
whitewash will not hold. I intend to

whether he's buyer or a renter.
Picture Windows Effective,
picture windows decide many a
home sale by framing favorite view.
Use of peach-colored plate glass
often adds to the beauty of a scene.
And a picture window over the sink
or a corner window may be the
means of lifting that kitchen to a
new plane of beauty and cheer-the
difference between domestic work.
shop of drudgery and an inviting
unit of the home"
The magazine then points out that
in cases where an Objectionable view
seems to make windows in that par
ticular wall seem impractical, it is
possible to use such patterned
glasses as louvrex with its direc-
tional louvre like lines which ex-
clude the exterior view but bring
in light and provide interior deco
rative smartneSS.
Where there is landscape to
be captured for the wall, loaded
windows, of course, should be dis
carded in favor of one large pane oi

one of several tinted plate glasses

refinish the wall with sand and ce-
ment. What would be the proper
percentage of sand and cement, and
would lime be necessary? If so, how
much? When the job is finished
is there water paint obtainable
In place of whiteWash?
Answer: To refinish the walls,
use a mixture of one part portland
cement, and three parts clean,
sharp building sand. The walls
should be roughened with a cold
chisel or a pick to give the cement
a surface to which it can cling. At
the time of application the walls
should be wet with water; paint
the walls with a mixture of cement
and water to the consistency of
thick cream, and follow Immediately
with the cement and sand mortar.
In place of whitewasn, you can
use cement paint, which is intended
for masonry. This comes as a
powder to be mixed with water, and
can be had in colors as well as in
white.

seat for the entrapped dehydrated
air, provides what may well be
called invisible insulation. In prin-
ciple it is the same as storm sash or
modern forms OF pre-fit double
glazed window units. The difference
lies in the fact that the air between
the panes is utilized 100 per cent for
non-conduction by virtue of the
metal seal. This unit, available for
any type of sash, eliminates years
of laboratory research" the article
concludes.
