When Making Cookies,

II the recipe calls for them to be
rolled and cut, use the following
method: Make the dough just stiff
enough to handle without sticking, then
take small portions and roll out by
hand into little molds, placing them
on baking sheet far apart. Now take
fiat-bottomed glass or can, dip the
bottom in flour and press each cooky
to the desired thihness. If the glass
mas small design on the bottom, 1t
aoos 70 the decoration. This method
Is much quicker than the old one of
rolling and cutting, and there is no
waste.

WEST END PROGRESS

We do not know how soon Louis l., Raphael will construct the new business block on West Main street, dia gonally opposite the post office, but preliminary agreement for q mu- tual right of way with adjoining property owners having been signed. one gets the impression that the block will go up this summer,
 On Washington street William |. Hatch will erect an office building. On West Main and Russell streets the new Masonic temple is nearing completion Diagonally opposite it is planned 10 erect a Jewish synagogue. .ast year banking house was con- structed on West Main near South High street. In the future the First Congregational church will erect new edifice on West Main and Lex inston streets.
 Until a comparatively few years ago the entire West Main street sec ton, including side streets. was re- earded as being certain to be reserv- d for residences for an indetermin- ate period There are many in the city who remember when residences eX- i~ted along the street 10 the junction of Main street. where the Center was topped of with the First Baptist church. Even after the New Britain National bank was erected upon this site and the church moved to the corner Of West Man and High streets, and the Russwin hotel open d it's hospitable doors where the City Hall now stands. and the old post office was nearby 1t was not thought that business would push out West Main street very far nor very rapid ly.
 But we live in a different time. Business is pushing west and is los ing no time. The zoning law is de- signed to keep 1t away from the high class residence district; but how long will t take before the West End section becomes engulfed in that species or twilight zone which is the forcrunncr of business? We don't know and neither do others, but every time business block goes up on the fringes Of the residence dis irict the battle draws nearer.
