What can I do about tdrawers that refuse to work easily and have become stuck because of dampness? A.

The rule was invoked earlier this season when Rep. Paul Findley of Illinois sought to amend the Administration's farm bill to require that the number of Department of Agriculture employees benefited by the bill should not at any one time exceed the mix with sufficient whiting to form a paste. Spread this over the rust spots in a thick coating, scrub, and then rinse off. Q. How can I join lace so that it will not be noticeable? A. Try to patch the design over on the same design, carefully whipping one on the other. If carefully done, the place where the lace is joined will hardly be noticeable. Do not make a French seam when joining lace. Q. How can I improvise a chalkboard for my children? A. A discarded window shade makes a very serviceable chalkboard for youngsters. Paint it black and hang it at a convenient height. Q. How can I make varnish dry faster? A. Fill a shallow vessel with hot water and place the can of varnish in this while working. It will make your varnish flow easier, and it will also dry in a shorter time. number of fanners. The gallery and many of Represenative Findley's colleagues in the House wera amused by this amendment. But the proposal never came to a vote because the parliamentarian, Lewis Deschler, decided that the amendment was "out of order" as not being "germane" to the main issue. However, the rule of germaneness 'does not apply in the Senate. This results in much hard feelings between the House and Senate -- and often times in confusion. An example of the Senate's disregard of the principle of germaneness occurred recently when "a bill to authorize the importation of various wild birds" was amended by deleting the entire text of this inauspicious measure -- and substituting a completely different measure relating to beef imports. The House complained about this tactic -- then passed the bill which was in no respects ^"germane" to the original bill. Now the Medicare bill (the full King-Anderson version) has been tacked on as an amendment to a bill (H. R. 11865) designed to increase social security benefits and strengthen the social security system. Although the Senate amendment (presented by Senator Gore of Tennessee) is not germane to the main bill, the issue is now before the House. The device employed in the Senate is one which the House members deplore, and which does violence to the House rules. As many citizens know, the King-Anderson Medicare bill has been pending for many months before the House ways and means committee. This committee should have the opportunity to report on the bill, and the House should give respect to the committee's views. But the ways and means committee will never have a chance to pass on the merits of Medicare -- unless the Senate amendment (which embodies the whole progra^m) is rejected by the House. Criticism is frequently directed at various rules of the FitEUNB'S DAIRY. Inc.

But the rule requiring "germaneness" is a rule which has earned respect over the years. The Senate's violation of this rule--especially on such major issue as Medicare-- is reprehensible.
