cupfuls sifted teaspoonfuls
soft wheat flour baking powder
or cupfuls sugar
32 cupfuls sifted 2 eggs
hard-wheat -four 8 teaspoonfuls
1 cupful fat (see favoring

Combine the ingredients in the same
way as for drop cookies. Roll the
dough thin, handling it no more than
necessary, cut it in any desired shapes,
and bake the cookies on creased bak-
ing sheet in fairly hot oven (about
375 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit). In
stead Of rolling out the dough it may
be chilled and sliced thinly. Whether
rolled or sliced, chilling the dough
makes it easier to handle. This amount
makes about 100 thin cookies.
Children love plain cookies cut in
fancy shapes, and if one makes cookies
often, it may pay to have a number Of
animal or other Interesting cutters on
hand. They are made of tin and are
relatively inexpensive.

The measure which would authorize

Muscle Shoals bill passed by the house

ences must be ironed out before either
measure can become law.
Under the house bill. the Henry Ford

eminent. This offer, however. has been
withdrawn since the house acted.
The vote. however, at least means
