When Making Cookies

Even though you use the same cooky dough for your entire batch of homemade cookies, use dltfer- ent cutters and different garnisheS to give variety in flavor and ap- peerance.
 A few chocolate beads; shavings of citron; a few chopped candleo cherries; chopped nuts, halves or blanched almonds or oceans; a It, tie grated orange or lemon peel; a different one to be used for each different shaped cookie, will make the collection much more interest," ing than if all are alike. -,
 In the dime stores or householo departments you can pick up any number of fancy cutters for five oi ten cents apiece-sometimes a set of different cutters for no more than 10 or twenty-five cents. See that you have a diamond cutter, a crescent, some larger and some smaller, to take full advantage or the shape of the cooky dough.

 "A. IA cup melted butter sIT 3 cups sliced BfaSil nuts q. Salt and pepper Sage or other herbs
 . cups soft bread crumbs
 Mix onions and cook two minutes in the butter. Mix Brazil nuts and seasoning with bread crumbs and stir into butter. Cook two minutes more, stirring constantly. If a moist stuffing is desired, add a little water. This amount of stufnng is enough for a a-ten-pound turkey.

URGE CONVENTION
FOR D. c. SUFFRAGE
Plans for Self f-Government
Would Be Drawn Up by
Joint Civic Session.

Proposals for q District convention
to draw up plans for local self-govern-
ment and for election Of two "Sena-
tors" and three Representatives" from
the District-similar to the Consti-
tutional Convention Of our forefath-
ers-Were heard last night at Joint
meeting of civic groups on local Suf-
frage.
Ernest F. Henry. chairman, Legis-
lation Committee of the PetWorth Citi-
zens' Association, proposed this method
Of gaining public notoriety' and
focusing attention on the desire C
local residents for voice in nt
tional and local self-government.
Meeting for the third time within
the past month at the invitation of
the PetWorth Association in the Pet
worth School, the group, consisting of
representatives of several citizens as
sociations, adopted a preamble and
program of action for forming a per-
manent group on local suffrage.
Preamble Declaration.
The preamble declared, in part: "It
Is our belief that the citizens of the
District of Columbia, like other Ameri-
can citizens, have an inherent right
to an effective voice in the making
OF the laws to which they are subject
and in the choice of the officers of
government intrusted with the ad-
ministration of those laws ="
THAT we hold this fact
should have obliterated the stigma of
disfranchisement which now rests
upon us and that success in
obtaining that desired object rests
largely upon the ability and Wiling
ness Of the citizens themselves to con-
slider the question thoroughly and
altruistically y.
THAT, although divergent views
have been expressed from time to
time as to the proper solution of this
question, we contend that none Of
such views are so irreconcila Bile, con-
sldering the Importance of the main
object to be accomplished, as to pre-
vent the formulation of a generally
acceptable plan of suffrage for Dis
trict citizens.
The time now seems to be ripe for
that thorough and altruistic consid-
Grafton in order to effect
friendly agreement or compromise on
such plan as in the opinion of the
majority at least would be best suited
to remedy their present political sit
uation."
Points in Program
The program adopted provides, brief
ly, that the chairman, Wilbur S.
Finch of the Burroughs Citizens As
sociation, appoint a Temporary Or
eanization Committee rtc set a date
and place for a meeting of citizens
representatives; to invite each trade,
civic, veterans and other organizations
to be represented, and to arrange for
the convening Of the meeting.
This meeting when convened shall
elect its permanent officers; adopt rules
of order and procedure; consider the
matter of suffrage in the manner set
forth in the preamble; adopt some
definite action or plan, and take
any lawful measures as may be con-
sldered necessary for the accomplish
ment of suffrage. =
Among representatives who spoke in
favor@of suffrage last night were the
following: Kenneth p Armstrong and
David Babp of Burroughs, Col. Luther
r. Maddox Of Columbia Heights and
William NICK. Clayton of Brightwood.
The program was adopted unanimous
ly by the meeting Of about 70 persons.
