BISCUIT CUTTER is USEFUL
No Special Directions Are Needed for
Using Little Tool for Mixing
Fat and Flour.

For combining shortening with flour
in making pie crust, cutting it in with
knives is a hygienic Improvement that
Is considered better than the time-hon-
ored method Of mixing 1t In with the
tips of the fingers. Moreover, aside
from hygienic considerations. han.
ding the dough too much makes q
tough crust.
The office of home economics of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has lately employed a third meth
cd of mixing fat and flour, which Is
to cut in the fat with the biscuit cut
ter.
No special directions are needed to
guide the cook who would adopt this
simple little tool for this purpose. The
fat Is added to the slfted flour and
salt and the two are chopped together
more or less thoroughly, depending
upon the quality of pie crust desired.
The water Is added and the biscuit cut
ter is used again to combine the water
with the fat-and-four mixture.
Having discovered one new way OF
using an old tool, the office OF home
economics saw these other possibil-
tiles:
Use It to mix fat and flour for baking
powder biscuits.
Use It to chop fruit, when the fruit Is
to be used on shortcake. In making jelly
or lam, or as sauce for Ice cream.
Use 1t to chop cold. boiled potatoes for
hash or salad.

prepared by the United States Department

The need for refreshing fruit
punch begins about the time that the
popular gathering known as STRAW
berry festival" is In season, and con-
tinues long after strawberries are gone
and other fruits must be depended on.
The recipe given below can be varied
somewhat according to the fruits avail
able. II there are not enough straw
berries on hand, part blackberry and
part raspberry Juice may be used. As
the season advances other fruit juices
may be substituted according to the
preferences of the persons mixing the
punch. A relatively small amount of
red raspberry flavor will dominate a
great deal of strawberry or other fruit
Juices. About the same proportion Of
lemons, sugar. ginger ale. and other
ingredients should be used. but varia-
tions In the amounts Of sugar anud lem

Curious Fi,e Engine.

What might be described ns dou-
ble-tandem bicycle. with four wheels ar
ranged like those of wagon, and four
seats for riders, two In front and two
behind, and carrying hose reel, ro-
tary pump, ETC., was exhibited recently
In Paris. The machine is intended as
u fire engine In small towns. When
the scene of fire is reached the pedals
are thrown into gear with the pump.
the hose is unrolled, and the riders, re-
suming their seats. work the pump by
means of the pedals. IT is claimed
that this machine can outstrip any fire
engine drawn by horses on the way to
tonhagration, and that Its pump is
at least as effective as those of the
hand engines used In many towns.

The small quantity of salt called for
is to intensity the fruit flavors. 1t

of the beverage. The sugar and water
should be boiled together for min

COMMUNICATED
FAVORS SALARY CUTS.

MarCh D, 1922. Editor of Herald:
 Dear Sir
 Just few words in regard to the burning question of the hour. That is the cutting of salaries of the city employees.
 I have talked to a great number of people in the factories and business places. and I find that 90 per cent are in favor of cut. The other 10 per cent are either city employees or their families, and the New Britain Herald might be added, for ! find all your arguments are that no cut should take place. Why you should side with the city employees against the 90 per cent who want cut to take place is a mystery.
 You say the city employe would be dissatisfied if cut, but how about the 90 per cent who have been cut 30 or 40 per cent? They were probably dissatisfied, but had to get over it, just like the city empoye would or find another job, which is pretty hard these days, especially those soft city jobs.
 also see the Rev. J. L. Davis comes into print about our city run ming as a "cheap administration " The thing I notice most about MT. Davis speech was that it was pretty "cheap talk"
 He no doubt enjoys good salary and is neither taxpayer or rent | payer, and why should he try to in- huence body of men on city affairs when he doesn't help pay for them?
 If the shoe was on the other foot and he worked in the factories on pre-wa wages and paid war prices for rent, coal and other necessities, both he and the New Britain Herald would talk different.
 You might ask any business man, and he will tell you that business IS bad, and it will stay bad until the working man has something left in his pay envelope after he has paid out of it the bare necessities of liv- | ing
 Rents are one of the biggest things he has to contend with, and these will not come down until taxes do. So in order to bring taxes down, l.. hope, and 90 per cent of the people hope, that the City Meeting tonight votes to cut city salaries, and in return the business man and all others will be | benefited.
