Several years ago, a New Or
leans detective tapped a man on
the shoulder and told him to
come along, he was suspected of
possessing narcotics.
The suspect turned his pock-
cts inside out and a thorough
search failed to reveal any
illegal drugs.
But the officer wasn't salts
fed. He took the man to a
hospital and doctors went to
work with stomach pump.
When they analyzed the re-
suits, they found several grains
of heroin.
The man had apparently
swallowed the drug to escape
detection, but he was charged
with illegal possession of mar
cotics, shuttled off to a Federal
prison and later taken to the
Federal hospital for narcotics
at Fort Worth. Tex.

perty for more than a year.
The question Of whether storage
expenses are allowable under tbs

not involved since the Attorney
General in a previous adjudication
had ruled that they are.
What was involved was whether
the period of storage continued be-

claim was for storage expenses for
four and half years, or 81 months.
Tn making his decision, the Attor-
ney General pointed out that the
claimant had been free to return to
Los Angeles after Jan. 2, l945 when
the Exclusion Orders were lifted,
which meant that the claim was for
a period Of % months after the
clsimant might conceivably have re-
moved his property from storage.
Because Of the housing shortage
then prevalent In the Los Angeles
area, the returning evacuee and his
wife were forced to live In a hotel
room for more than year. When
he was able to obtain larger quar-
tiers, he had his property removed
from storage and transferred to his
new home.
The Department OF Justice APP
proved the claim for storage expen-

would not have incurred storage
charges longer than necessary. The
storage charges were reasonable

Some one asked for a devils

frost this with 7-minute frost
ing (never allow the water in the
bottom Of the double boiler to
actually boil and you'll have a
fluffy, marshmallowy frosting)
and vary it by substituting brown
sugar for the white. This is a
mans idea Of good cake, at least
I can speak for my husband. 1t
eliminates the extra melting proc
ess and the sitting. Mix in order

In reply to the inquiry concern

left in the washer with the lid
open.
1t is very important to follow
instructions carefully and they
may seem complicated at first.
But after being in use for few
days the operation seems quite
simple. Some care in preparing
the dishes for washing is neces-
sary. Scraping and rinsing is pre-
ferred because any little particle
of food left on may clog up the
outlet valve. The only service call
I have ever needed was when a
small piece of egg shell lodged in
this valve. Needless to say 1t
never happened again. I would

it has saved me hours of unpleas-

more likely to be accomplished by the
pedestrians stumbling over the ruts

eyes to the everlasting hills, one had
better walk circumspectly, if not re-
deeming the times, at least rcdeeming
