Here's crisp and crunchy cooky to fill up the yawning chasn in that cooky jar of yours. Trouble is, they'll disappear faster than you can produce them once the family gets wind of this new tidbit. But try them anyhow! You can always curtail the production if you've a mind to. You make them this way: CreGnt--
 1 cupful butter.
 Add gradually-
 1 cupful granulated sugar 1 cupful brown sugar and cream
 thoroughly.
 Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoonful vanilla, then beat
 together until light and fluffy. Sift together three times 2 cupfuls sifted all-purpose flour 1 teaspoonful baking soda 1s teaspoonful baking powder 1& teaspoonful salt, then add to
 butter mixture and mix well. Add-
 1 cupful shredded cocoanut 4 cupfuls Rice Flakes and mix
 thoroughly.
 Shape into balls the size of wall nuts and place on lightly greased cooky sheet. Bake in a moderate oven (375o F.) 10 minutes or until golden brown. Turns out 61a dozen cookies to the batch.

CITY SECOND IN
AUTO PAYMENTS
Turns Over $636,O93 to
State Motor Vehicle De-
partment in Fees

New Haven motorists have paid
an estimated $1,138,91760 to the
motor vehicle department by way of
registration fees, operator license
fees, and gasoline taxes during the
year 1896. Estimated receipts from
these sources will total $13,279.80
according to a report submitted to-
day by Commissioner of Motor We
hicles Michael A. Conner to State
Tax Commissioner William H
Hackett.
The figures are based on the num-
Der of cars registered In each town
during the year 1885 plus an in
crease in registration for 1885 Of 8
per cent. Receipts from gasoline
taxes were computed on an estimated
average Of gallons per car regis
tered.
City Figures
Waterbury ranks next to New
Haven with an estimated payment
TO the department from these three
sources of 1886, O93.72. The other
principal towns of the country were
listed as follows: Ansonia $l08,-
572.28: Branford $76,O0l. 40; Derby
1853 1929; East Haven SIS, 1880;
Hamden 1918, $4,000; Meriden $270,-
058.56; Milford $149,576.56; Nauga-
tuck $157, 082.28: Wallingford $l23,-
665.40; West Haven 1928, 254.40.
Commissioner Conner made no
claim that the figures as estimated
were accurate but stated that they
did represent, In fact. the proportion
paid by the respective towns and
cities in the state. He drew atten-
tion particularly to the amount OF
money estimated to have been paid
by he motorists Of the twenty one
major cities, a total estimated at
$7,377, 027. 48 or 53.15 per cent.
County Leads
New Haven County, he stated. APP
parently Is the largest contributor
by way of motor vehicle receipts,
with Fairfield second and Hartford
a close third. Tolland county, which
includes the city of Rockville and
twelve other towns, has the lowest
registration in the state with all esti-
mated 9,288 vehicles and an estimated
yield to the department of $3l0,66O.-
So, an amount slightly less than that
paid by the motorists Of West Hart
ford. In the figures submitted TO
Commissioner Hackett, Mr.. Conner
said, no allowance was made for
the gasoline tax income from out-of-
state purchasers nor were there in
Guided In the estimate miscellaneous
receipts from the Department Of
Motor Vehicles.

of a new field house and grand
stand on the site Of the new ath-
letic field on Watertown avenue are

1t is expected that the sum will be
well over the 100000 mark.
Under Amusement
The present set-up, according to
the information received today, calls
for plans to start work on the new
field house and grandstand on or
about March /. At the present time
the proposal and plans are being
discussed by local and state off,
Gals and 1t is expected that ap-
prevail of the project will be made

ton will run out at the end of

been made in connection with a
municipal athletic plant for many
