FINE POINTS GIVEN
FOR PERFECT CAKE

The secret of perfect cake baking is
nothing more than accurate measure
ment Of ingredients, correct mixing
and proper baking, according to Rae
Russell, state college extension nutri-
zionist. This implies, Of course, the use
Of standard ingredients and the close
following Of all directions. The perfect
cake should be light, tender, delicate
and moist, evenly risen without cracks
o. humps, and lightly and evenly
Drowned. The flavor should be char
acteristically pleasing and mellow.
Standard measuring cups and spoons
should always be used II perfect
cake is to be assured. While some
housewives are expert enough at guess
ing the amounts Of the different in
gradients, this Is not true Of the ma
jortty. Flour must always be sifted be-
fore 1t is measured because 1t has a
tendency to settle In the flour bin,
producing changes In volume. Sitting
flour before measuring 1t ughtens it
and insures accurate measurement.
Many cakes are spoiled in the mix
ing. Dreaming" the ingredients is best
done in bowl with wooden spoon.
The shortening usually mixes best at
room temperature. Dreaming should be
continued while the sugar is being
added. If the Dreaming has been done
properly the mixture appears soft,
smooth and waxy. Having all ingre-
dents at room temperature is much
better than taking some of them di-
rectly out of the ice box or off the
stove. When adding the flour and milk,
begin and end with the flour to insure
a fine texture.
Cake layers, evenly risen and without
burned edges depend almost entirely
on the baking. The oven temperature
should be carefully checked before
mixing the cake and automatically
controlled ovens are preferable. The
next best substitute is the use of an
oven thermometer. Too hot an oven
will often cause burning around the
edges, cracked top crusts and too rap
id rising.
Inaccurate measurement of various
contributes to sogginess,
dryness, cracking, running over in the
oven and other common cake troubles.

At Heigh-Ho

antique will revel in the new tap
room which Mine Host Pete
Macias will have ready for the
native and visiting constabulary
next Thursday.
It has every modern appoint
ment for genteel thirst quenching
concealed beneath veneer Of the
quaint and old-fashioned which
looks strictly genuine.
It is as genuine, you may be
sure, as Architect Billy Barring
ton can make it, for he has made
innumerable trips to the haunts
of the original settlers, and each
time comes back with some fresh
specimen of his research to find
its appropriate niche in the
Heigh-Ho settings.
With Maestro Macias I took an
early morning jaunt through this
recreated nook which will beckon
so invitingly to the hungry and
the thirsty.
It will have class with a capital
z, and already the fancy bar
beyond sight of the patron-haS
drawn the line which will permit
none but the best to occupy it's
shelves. There will be no blends
at Heigh-Ho. The place of honor
will be reserved Tor sucn mellow

Murray Times Coming

From Walter Won Herbulis, in
Thomas Circle, came an announce
ment that makes everybody sit
up. The immediate approach Of
Ken Murray as a supper enter
tainer is something to throw the
hat in the air about.
Mr.. Murray is very accom-
plished comic. He is up to date,
he is breezy, he has a thousand
and one good stories from Holly
wood, and he is blessed with an
informal good humor and the abil-
ity to wisequack-as Joe Penner
puts it-with the best.
When Comedian Murray takes
the reins at Thomas Circle he
promises a program that will
never be dull. AS his first aide
he has one Of the best little
mimies in the business-Helen
Charleston. Helen has been out
in the land of the studios and
she kept her eyes open. AS a
result she came back with some
carbon impressions of Katharine
Hepburn, Janet Gaynor, Jackie
Cooper, Oracle Allen, Greta Carlo
in fact about everybody of i'm
portance in the realm of Kleig
lights.
I look for Helen Charleston to
be q supper club sensation. Emcee
Murray will have other entertain
ers and a flock Of beauties to
engage the eye. The new pro-
gram will be inaugurated with
the repeal night celebration next
Thursday.
