Fish fried in oil is at it's best. and the
Jewish fashion of cooking it is admra BILE.
For sautefng very small quantity Of oil
will suffice. just enough to grease the
frying pan. For the deep frying use
enough to completely immerse the article
to be cooked. The oil should be hot
enough to allow the article to be instantly
scared at every point The bread test
will tell you whether the temperature
is right. If little cube of bread dropped
in colors Immediately bright gold tint
the heat is right. If the bread remains
pale it is not hot enough. and if it browns
Immediately it is too hot. All that is
fried in oil should be drained on soft
brown paper free from any tar"y taste.
The oil left over can be poured off in a
tin dish and kept for the next cooking.

The Germans use small alcohol motors
for driving plows. moving. reaping and

grinding cattle food and pumping water.
They have developed also many kinds OF
alcohol automobiles, motor boats and
traction engines.
The German army uses alcohol trac-
ton engines to draw artillery and trains
of heavy military wagons for transport
ing all sorts of supplies. These alcohol
wagon trains pull over the mountain
roads and even ford streams. Some OF
them are drawn by detached traction
engines such as those run by steam on
