IT IS ALSO a matter of in
terest that the International
Harvester Co., in which the
Tribune's Col. Mccormick is a
big wheel along with Morgan,
owns a sizeable chunk of CTA
bonds.
What makes this interesting is
the fact that three of CTA's sew
en- directors were appointed by
Gov. Green. Col. McCormicE's
stoose at Springfield. Did the
Colonel decide who should watch
over Harvester's investment in
eta?
These are some of the answers,
and some of the unanswered
questions which have convinced
many Chicagoans, as well as
Mayor Kennedy, that the bank
ers do indeed own CTA.

Expert Answers
Queries From
HousehoIders
By Roqer c. Whitmon

Question: I put a plaster paint
ON my kitchen wall and am having
an awful time covering it. 1t did
not 60 on very we'll over the ole
enamel. I was going to have il
covered with oil cloth, but "the
man" said every little pin-point
of the rough finish would show
through.
He suggested using varnish re-
mover, but that would be an awful
job overhead. I read one of your
suggestions about using ''spackle'
on a rough plaster wall. Where can
I buy this spackle and What should
I apply it with?
Answer: Spackle is a powder &c
be mixed first with water to a
putty-like consistency, working it
until all the humps are smoothed
out. Then add a small amount OF
paint, mixing it thoroughly and
keeping the putty consistency. Var
nish is sometimes used in the same
way, instead of paint.
Complete instructions are given
with the product on the container
1t can be applied with trowel or
putty-knife. Before applying it,
90 over the walls with coarse sand
paper wrapped around a fiat piece
of wood to rub off the toughest
parts of the plaster. Then follow
with the spackle, which should fill
in the slight irregularities that will
be left. The wall should then be
smooth enough for the oil-eloth.

Average Householder
is Able 10 Install
Beamed Ceilings
By w. Wodsworth Wood

A beamed ceiling is most appro-
pirate to some of the rooms Of a
house, particularly the dining room
or living room.
When mission furniture and deco
rating was in vogue, almost all
dining rooms were beamed. But as
the style passed away, the dark
beams were repainted in lighter
shades and resulted in even better
effect than when they were dark
To install beamed ceiling in any
room is an easy task, once the pro-
cedure has been pointed out.
The first step is to nail contin-
uous strip of inch by inch wood
finishing strip all around the four
walls and butting up against the
ceiling on edge.
The second step is to measure the
floor (Which will be the same as the
ceiling) and divide it into sections
so that the beams will be equally
spaced apart. The third step is to
nail strips up against the ceiling Sc
curely and at the correct locations.
The fourth step is to construct q
long hollow, trough, Of l inch by
4 inch strip of the exact dimension
that will make it fit spanning the
room. The trough will slip up
against the ceiling and should be
nailed into the ceiling strips.
Every item of this job is straight
cross-cutting and plain mailing, and
there is no reason why the average
homeowner could not do a good job.
There are at least a dozen ways Of

Home Godgets-
Bv d IA Der,xin

Many home-owners have long
desired to install railing for porches
and stairways because of the safety
factors, but have hesitated on the
installation because the safety fac
tor would be outweighed by contin-
ual upkeep and an unpleasing ap-
pearance.
A new railing, made of aluminium,
can be used wherever the combined
effect of appearance and utility is
desired for the home. BY using the
hollow shape, torsional rigidity of
tubular sections is obtained, result
ing in maximum strength.
This aluminium railing, the manu-
facturer claims, is little affected by
the atmosphere, and requires only
routine work to keep clean. The
railing has been tested for strength.
requires no painting, and is rust
proof, corrosion resistant, strong
and attractive.
These hand rails for sporches en-
hapee the beauty of any home. The
danger of staining adjacent surfaces
is eliminated. They are finished in
natural aluminium color in lengths
Of 30, 36, AZ and 48 inches, with a
height of 81 inches.
The stairway railings are fur

nished in new design, enabling them
to fit any angle on stairway. This
represents considerable saving,
compared with custom built railings.
The railings are made in multi
pie sections, and keyed together.
The units are packaged with the
required accessories, such as floor
castings, fittings and complete in
structions for simple installations.
Driving Nails in Plaster Walls.
Question: How can nails be driven
into plaster walls without chipping
the plaster?
Answer: Plaster is too thin and
brittle for nails to be driven into it
successfully. If you need to hang
anything on the walls, get special
device for the purpose at hardware
store. To make a hole in plaster,
work a screwdriver into the plaster,
making the hole about a half-inch
wide. Fill the hole with wood putty.

By Robert J. Lewis
Real Estate Editor Of The Star.

Of larger home to sell in the
$4,000 to $4,000 range, and at
prices even higher.
Financing Difficult.
But today that market has
shrunk considerably, owing part
ly to. the fact that financing in
this field has become more diff
cult, partly to satisfaction Of ex-
treme demand, and partly to
buyer resistance, observers report.
That is not to say that buying
and building do not continue in
the upper range, for some buyers
always will prefer the higher
priced houses, and some builders
specialize in this field only, and
will continue to do so.
But the mass market" as
poets of the upper price range
which existed since the war have
markedly changed in the last
few months.
