be put back in the oven for a sec
ond to soften.
Some cooks like to make the
holes for hanging before the
cooky dough goes in the oven.
This works out all right with
Some types Of dough, but it's best
to try it out on a few first.
Decorating has endless pos
sibilities. Brushing the cooky
dough with beaten egg white or
milk before baking helps the
decoration to stay put. Colored
sugar, silver or colored tiny can
dies, bits of candied fruits, mar
aschino cherries, raisins, dates
and nuts and make wonderful
decorations and can be put on the
cookies handsomely before bak-
ing.
For after baking beauty treat
ment, use colored frosting and
apply with a regular decorating
tube, a paper cone, a paint brush
or a toothpick. To tint the frost
ing, mix in food coloring thor
oughly, but apply it sparingly Or
you'll get a violent shade. Small
bottles of food coloring can be
bought at the grocery market.
To color sugar. dissolve a bit of
food coloring in l teaspoon water.
Sprinkle it over "a cup granulat-
ed sugar, mix it well to color
evenly, and spread sugar out on
unglazed paper until dry. Coco
nut may be colored in similar
fashion.
After they are decorated, the
professional way to hang cookies
is to insert narrow tinsel or col
ored ribbon in each cooky hole.
Then the ends are tied in a firm
knot, making a loop, and an
ment hook or a short wire is put
through the ribbon loop and at
tached to the tree.
Any teen-ager whose heart is
really involved with Christmas
will be as interested as l was in
a little booklet called "Pennsyl-
vania German Cooky Cutters and
Cookies" by Earl F. Robacker. 1t
is a fascinating account with IL
Illustrations from the cooky cut
ter collection of the author-who
owns 600 of theml The booklet
gives designs of early cutters
that can be traced and then, just
for good measure, thrown in a
handful of practical sounding
recipes.
But not all cookies have to be
rolled, cut and hung, Some of
them can be made in easier ways
and packed in b~oxes-tight COW
cred tin ones are best--and put
under the lowest branches of the
tree for unexpected holiday
guests. This is one way of never
being caught without an appro-
pirate gift! The following recipe
will do good underline boughs

of Snowballs that keep we'll.

Lots OF Fur, In
Making Cookies
For Christmas
BY cEcILY
Associated Press Food Editor

Teen-agers who like to mess
around in the kitchen can nave a
lot Of fun making cookies to hang
on the Christmas tree and put I'm
der its green boughs.
Just the usual recipe for SUI
gar cookies and one for rolled
ginger snaps will dc. But the trick
and the fun-is in cutting and
decorating the cookies.
If there aren't special Christ
mas cooky cutters in the house
they can be improvised. Trace
the design chosen-a bell, a stock
ing, a star, an angel--on card
board, then cut it out. When
the cooky dough is chilled and
ready, flour the cardboard pat
tern, lay it on the rolled-out
dough and cut around with a
sharp knife. Remove carefully
with a wide spatula to cooky
sheet. II large cookies are being
made, roll out only enough dough
for one cooky at a time. And
even when small cookies are be-
ing cut best results come from
rolling out only the smallest am
cunt of dough and keeping the
rest chilled in the refrigerator.
Some of the gingerbread men
will hang by their heads. with
red ribbon, of course. But to hang
stars, bells and angels take each
cooky while it's still fresh from
the oven and warm and pierce it
with a skewer of ice pick to make
a 1-8-inch hole. If the cookies
get too crisp before all the neces-
sary jobbing is done they may

Capital Comment
Hughes Hearing
Continued from Page a

Despite his predictions to the
contrary, Howard Hughes, mil
lionaire aircraft manufacturer
and movie mongul, will enact
the role of "the man who came
back next month.
When the Senate wal investi-
eating committees probe of
Hughes 40 million dollars
worth of warplane contracts
blew up in a cloud of melo-
drama last summer, the lanky
Texan declared fatty that he
didn't believe the hearing ever
would be resumed.
However, Senator Homer Fer
guson, (R) Mich, says he is
standing pat on his plan to re-
open the hearing Nov. II. Pre-
liminary conferences already
have been held.
There was plenty of excite
ment during the summer ses-
sion of the investigating group,
which features not only the
feud between Hughes and COM
mittee Chairman Owen Brews-
ter, (R). Maine, but such added
attractions as Johnny Meyer.
Hughes fun-loving press agent,
Elliott Roosevelt and a pile of
glamor drenched expense ac-
counts.
Washington insiders expect
more of the same. This time,
the committee is expected to
concentrate on the tax returns
of the Hughes Tool company,
parent firm of the Hughes fl
nancial empire, and the lavish
entertainment sponsored by
Meyer. once again may figure in
the proceedings.
