MRS. j. S., Washington
Here is the recipe for Ger
man potato dumplings that
use. for Mrs. M. D. of Mayo,
Md: Two or 3 raw pota-
toes, pared. 2 or 3 cooked po-
tatoeS. Crate the cooked pota-
toes first and put them in
separate dish. Then CRATE the
raw potatoes and drain the
water off. Put the cooked po-
tatOeS with the raw ones and l
teaspoon salt and 112 cups
flour and mix by hand. Have
water boiling and make them
so they look and hold together
like SnoWballS. Roll them in a
little flour and cook about p
hour. Sometimes they stick to
the bottom of the kettle. Let
them boil about 3 minutes and
then loosen them off the
bottom so they float. Boil for
20 minutes. 1 usually use 1la
cups flour for this many pota-
toes. Increase if you use more.

Seek Action On
Postal Measure
BY 3. L. LIVINGSTONE

WASHINGTON R-House men,
bers, after rebuffing the Eisenhow-
er administrations bid for higher
postal rates, raced today to force
before adjournment action on a
controversial pay raise for half a
million Post Office employees,
Administration leaders lost out
yesterday Ia an all-or-nothing ef
fort to pass one-package bill to
boost postage charges by 233 mil

,Q.-What is spermacetti?
A.-This is the commercial name
for the clear oil found within an
immense bag or lease" in the front
of a sperm whales head. When
whalers make an incision in this
bag (known as tapping the
casey, the oil pours forth and in
contact with air solidifies into a
soft, white wax. One whale may
yield as much as Is barrels of
spermacetti oil. The substance is
used in making candles, in the
dressing of fabrics, for medicinal
purposes, cosmetics, etc. The
function of the "case" is not
known, but it is believed to aid in
lending buoyancy to the whale, as
well us to press tightly against the
nostrils and so close them when
the whale dives to great depths in
search of squid, its natural food.
Uusually the left nostril only is
functional in the sperm whale, the
right nostril passage being divert
ed under and around the Sperma-
cetti case and joining the left
just below the single, off-center
blowhole.
Q.-What fish lays its eggs on
land?
A.-This is the famous grunion,
LeureSthes tenuis, one of the
Atherinnid fishes of the California
coast, limited in range from Point
Conception southwark to the north
ern portion of Lower California.
Near relatives of the grunion are
the silversides fishes, which are
most commonly used for bait,
locally. The grunion is a small
fish which deposits its eggs on the
beach in summertime, always ap-
pearing for this purpose on the 1st,
End, 3rd, and 4th nights after the

A.-Your cousin trained under
the World War II CT Bill; you
will be training under the Ko-
rean CT Bill. They are separate
laws, and each operates different

you pay all training expenses
yourself. But you get a single

this. Under the World War II CT
Bill, the VA paid a veterans

Q.-My husband was killed in
Korea, and I've been receiving
monthly indemnity payments of

bar your continued entitlement to
the indemnity payments.

Q.-I'm planning to take flight
