Ry the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
Representative Wilmington, Demo-
crat, Of Mississippi said yesterday he
would seek flood control appropria-
tions larger than those President
Roosevelt has set as maxinums for
that work next year.
The Mississippian, chairman of the
House Flood Control Committee, dis
closed at a committee session he would
ask the Appropriations Committee to
increase the budget figures of s22,-
100000 for executing the purposes
of the Overton flood-control act and
$30,000,000 for projects approved in
the 1886 omnibus f1ood-control law
The President has expressed a de-
sire to keep funds for approved prof.
eets within budget recommendations.
He also asked a delay on additional
authorizations until further studies
have been made.
The Overton act, for food control
on the Mississippi and its tributaries,
contemplated spending s45,OoO,00o

omnibus act s5o,Ooo,oOo a year over

Recipe for Useful
EngliSh Muffin

OF all the muffin family, the
English muffin is the most I'M
usual and the most useful. Split.

Clipped beef, chicken, seafood.
Because English Mullins are u

most of us do not serve them as
frequently as we would like, nor
as frequently as they deserve to
be served. Here's good news, how
ever-theSe mullins can be made
quite simply in your own kitchen.
The English Muffin recipe given
here is tried and true. Follow the
directions carefully and you'll
have no difficulty in turning out
a set Of English Mullins that will
rival the most experienced bakers.
