COOKIE RECIPES.
(From Mrs. R. B. H.,
Takoma Park.)
For Miss H. M. V., Arlington.
In reply to your request for cookie
recipes without baking powder,
cream of tartar, or soda, here are
several which I have tried, and
like.
Tecan Drop Cookies: Brown
sugar, 1 cup; shortening. *2 cup;
1 egg, well-beaten: flour, 1 cup.
chopped pecans, ’2 cup; vanilla,
■2 teaspoon. Cream shortening,
add brown sugar, add well-beaten
egg. Beat well; add the flour, nuts,
and vanilla. Drop from a tea
spoon onto greased cooky sheet.
Bake in hot oven (400 ’degrees*.
Approximate yield 2 dozen cookies.
Raisin Rolled Oats Cookies:
Shortening. '2 cup; brown sugar,
1 cup; eggs, well-beaten, 2; milk.
*/4 cup; rolled oats. lVa cups;
seedless raisins, % cup; chopped
nuts. >2 cup; flour, 1'2 cups, salt,
*2 teaspoon; cinnamon, 1 tea
spoon; nutmeg, 1 teaspoon. Cream
the shortening and sugar. Add
eggs, well beaten, milk, raisins,
rolled oats and chopped nuts. Mix
and sift dry ingredients and add to
first mixture. Drop from spoon
onto a well-greased pan, about 3
inches apart. Bake in a mod
erate oven 350 degrees about 15
minutes. Approximately yield 3
dozen cookies.
I have not tried this recipe for
Sugar Cookies.
Sugar Cookies: Shortening, 1
cup: sugar. 1 cup: egg, beaten, 1;
grated rind of 1 lemon: lemon
extract, 1 tablespoon: flour to
make a stiff dough. Cream fat
and sugar. Add beaten egg, grated
rind, and extract. Mix in flour
until dough is barely stiff enough
to roll. Roll thin. Cut with cooky
cutter, place on greased baking
sheet, and bake in moderately
hot oven 350 to 375 degrees 10
to 12 minutes. Yield 4 to 5 dozen.
This recipe may be varied by
using brown sugar instead of
white, or by adding '2 cup of
shredded coconut, chopped nuts
or fruit to flour mixture.
These recipes are taken from
‘•Homemakers' Cookbook and
Guide to Nutrition'' published by
the Review and Herald Publishing
Association Takoma Park.
Washington, D. C. This volume
also contains recipes for cakes
without the ingredients you men
tion, as well as breads, muffins
etc.
The Review and Herald Pub
lishing Association also publishes
a 96-page pamphlet entitled Bet
ter Meals for Less'' which con
tains recipes for cakes and breeds
without baking powder or soda.
(From Mm. J. M. J..
Silver Spring.I
Here is a good cookie recipe
that does not contain soda, bak
ing powder or cream of tartar.
Swedish Spritz: Two-thirds cup
shortening, 2:\ cup sugar, 1 egg,
2 cups flour (sifted before meas
uring', 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tea
spoon almond extract. Blend
shortening, sugar and egg. Sift
flour, add salt and add to first
mixture. The dough will be stiff
and should break in the fingers
without sticking. Grease hands,
roll dough into bails and shape.
Bake in 375-degree oven about
12 minutes. After I roll the
dough into a ball, I roll the ball
between my two hands into a
long roll, and twnst it into a sort
of a pretzel shape, not as many
turns as a pretzel. You may be
able to work out some figures of
our own. They taste the same
:io matter what the shape.
These two recipes I found in
my cook book, one I had cut out
of a good newspaper and the
other a magazine. I have not
tried either of them, but I feel
sure they are trustworthy.
Peanut-butter brownies: Turn
on oven and set regulator at 350.
Lightly grease baking pan, 8x8x2.
Blend '2 cup peanut butter. V*
cup shortening, ‘2 teaspoon
vanilla. Gradually add, cream
ing in well 2 eggs, 1 cup brown
sugar, firmly packed. Add, one
at a time, beating in well, 2 eggs.
Blend into creamed mixture
cup sifted all-purpose flour, U
teaspoon salt, 1 cup chopped nuts.
Spread batter in prepared baking
pan. Bake 25 minutes or until
center is firm when pressed with
fingertip.
Remove from oven, w'hile hot
cut into squares and remove from
pan. Cool on wire cake rack.
(When I make regular brownies,
I think they are nicer when al
lowed to cool before cutting.'
Ice cream wafers. One-half
cup shortening, '2 cup sugar, 1
egg, well beaten; 34 cup flour, V2
teaspoon salt, V2 teaspoon flavor
ing. Blend sugar and shorten
ing. Add egg. beaten until vel
vety. Then add flour which has
been sifted with salt. Beat vigor
ously, add flavoring and drop on
greased cookie sheet like small
marbles, w’ell apart. Put nut meat
in center of each cookie and bake
10 to 15 minutes in a 40-degree
oven. The finished cookie is a
rich, crisp wrafer.

TRAVELING WITH BABY.
'From Mrs. M. S. H„ Washington.)
This useful bit of information I
learned from an English gov
erness who had taken children
all over Europe: Put a webbing
safety strap on your child. To
the ends that ordinarily fasten
to the carriage tie webbing or
double strips of strong material
(I use sheets cut and stitched)
sufficient to pass under the mat
tress and tie. Baby is free to
turn and roll, but cannot roll off.
We crossed the continent twice
with our 14-month-old daughter
in an upper berth. I carried a
rubber sheet which I used under
the Pullman sheet and also in
hotels where we stopped. The
strap I used is a loop-type cost
ing $1. You could make such a
strap yourself, too.
'From Mrs. A. R. L.. Jr..
Washington.>
We have traveled crosc r.in
trv with our four children many
times and have frequently taken
the playpen along as a bed. We
usually put all luggage on the
floor of the back of the car, build
ing it up to the level of the back
seat and then put the crib mat
tress on top. The children can
all play on top of this or take
naps when they need them. At
night, we would set up the play
pen and put the crib mattress in
it—it will turn up somewhat at
the two ends but did very well
as an emergency crib. When the
children were quite small the
playpen was raised by placing it
on chairs—using at least three
straight chairs or we have placed
it on a bed or even on top of two
or three Army foot lockers. Some
times. we have used a couple of
large coififorters folded to the
right size in place of the crib
mattress in the playpen, with
a rubber sheet and the other bed
ding over them.
To avoid having to remove all
the bedding each time we need
anything in a suitcase, we pack
one suitcase with sufficient
changes for all the family and
keep it in the trunk of the car
so that the others can be used
for part of the ‘ bed” in the back
seat.
KOSHER TOMATOES.
iFrom Mrs. W. H. B., Washington.)
In reply to request for kosher
tomatoes: Green tomatoes, 'talk
celery, green peppers, garlic. 2
quarts of water, 1 cup salt, dill to j
taste, or caraway seeds (I use the
lattert.
Pack in sterilized jars, add 1
stalk celery, pepper cut in strips,
1 garlic bud. Make brine of vine
gar and salt and cook with dill
or seeds for 5 minutes. Pour hot
brine over tomatoes, celery, pepper
and garlic bud in jars. Seal im
mediately. Ready to eat in 4 to
6 weeks. Very tasty and crisp.

READING HINTS:
TO SAVE MONEY?
tFrom Mrs. R. N. L., Alexandria.)
Some time ago one of our
membership write in suggesting
that we share our reading expe
rience with others. I want to
particularly recommend a book by
Margueritte Harmon Bro, “When
Children Ask.” I borrowed it
'from our church library and was
so pleased with it that I bought a
personal copy.
For ladies who are in an inter
esting condition, may I recom
mend "Modeling for Motherhood,
which is a light-hearted book
based on sound common sense. I
borrowed this book from the Fair
fax County Bookmobile and do
not remember the name of the
authors. Cleverly illustrated, too.
If you are pasi the heir-apparent
stage, you'll still get many a retro
spective chuckle from it.
A bit of sheer froth is “The
Husband Who Ran Away,” by
Hildegarde Dolson. It is de
lightful.
May I put in a plug for the
aforementioned Fairfax County
Bookmobile? They make two stops
in our neighborhood once a
month, and it’s really an exciting
time when the bookmobile comes
around. They carry a wide selec
tion of books, and the attendant
librarian is most helpful and will
ing to get books from the county
library which you specifically re
quest. They also carry children's
books, and yju should see the;
small fry making "important” se
lections. It's nice that they get the
library habit at an early age. We.
live in a relatively isolated com-1
munity, and since most of us are
kept at home most of the time
with small children, the bookmo
bile is a real boon. I can't praisfe
it too highly.
Now for a starter on a discus
sion question. How do you save
money? The other day one of my
friends told me that she and her
husband always put aside any coin
that was minted the year that
they were married—1941. Then
when their anniversary comes
along, they put the accumulated
money into sterling silver in their
pattern. I thought it was a clever
way to save money, so I’ve started
collecting coins with a 1942—our
marriage year—date. Today, I got
three 1942 quarters in change. It
broke my budget, but it swelled
the piggy bank!

MARKING SHEETS,
(From P. Y., Alexandria.)
For the . lady who wanted sug- j
gestions for marking sheets of
different widths, here is my
method: When I purchase new
sheets I immediately embroider
the width on the under side of
the lower hem, using a different
color of thread for each size. Or
she could use a line of different
colors, pasting a color chart be
side linen closet. Since most
threads are boil proof, I find they
retain their colors for years un
der normal washing conditions.
I use one strand and very small
figures. I always get the long
length sheets.

Song Contest Launched
By Betty Miles
To those who have long grappled
with the problem of songsmith in
stincts. Capital Records efTers
a solution. Today, July 1, marks
the launching of a Nation-wide
song-writing contest designed to
bring to light the efforts of lyric
writers who heretofore have had
no audience for their compositions.
The contest will run four months,
ending on October 31.
Prizes offered for the winning
lyrics will include songwriters' con
tracts, cash advances of $1,000
against contract royalties and
Capitol recordings of the winning
entries.
The contest calls for an original
lyric to be written for any one or
more of the six original melodies
contained in a new Capitol album,
“Songs Without Words.” The
records in the album, which will
be available on both 78 r.p.m. and
45 r.p.m. may be heard or pur
chased at any store that handles
this company’s records.
Johnny Mercer, Isham Jones,
Jay Livingston and Ray Evans.
Jimmy McHugh, Ray Noble and
Paul Weston have written the
original melodies for the contest
album, and, as the title implies,
all are without lyrics. The final
selection of each winning lyric
will be determined by a panel of
three musical experts, consisting
of the waiter of the melody for
which the lyric was submitted as
well as Songwriters Mack Gordon
and Sammy Cahn.
One prize-winning lyric will be
selected for each of the six tunes
in the album. Each of the six win
ners will be offered a song-writer
contract with Ardmore Music Di
vision of Capitol Publications, Inc.,
one of Capitol Record’s music
publishing firms, plus a $1,000
advance against royalties accruing
under each contract, to be paid in
cash to each winner upon his or
her signing the pact. In addition,
the six winning songs will be re
corded by Capitol artists.
Lyrics submitted will be judged
on the basis of suitability (fitting
the melody), composition, unique
ness and commercial appeal by the
Reuben H. Donnelly Corp., a well
known national judging organiza
tion.
This contest is quite in keeping
with the Capitol tradition, inci
dentally, since that firm was built
on the development of “unknowns”
into stars. Jo Stafford, Peggy Lee,
Margaret Whiting, Stan Kenton
and “King” Cole are among those
who came to fame this way.
The firm feels the same way, it
says, about the untapped song
writing talent that exists. It be
lieves that many people can write
songs that can compare favorably
with those heard today. This con
test will give them a hearing they
otherwise would have very little
chance of getting.
Imports from Cuba and Mexico
are difficult things to keep in
stock, a local store reports. For
four months they've been carry- i
ing single recorded in these
countries and the response has |
been a hearty one. Rumbas,
guarachas. boleros and others are
included among the records.
Turntable Talk: “Margie,’’ pre
viously outshone by plattermate
"Sweet Georgia Brown" on the
Brother Bones record, is cur
rently coming into her own. The
record is by Tempo. . . . Tony
Martin's newly released “Circus,”
by Victor, is a good, bittersweet
ballad, reminiscent in type and
mood of the successful "Baller
ina.” We wouldn't be a bit sur
prised if M.'s tune enjoys a
similar success. He handles it
very well, indeed, and the platter
mate, “No, No and No,” is most
pleasant and well done, too. Skip
Martin and his orchestra accom
pany. . . . The Irving Fields Trio
plays memorably “That Wonder
ful Girl of Mine," a tune with a
Latin touch, for Victor, sung by
Ralph Young and the Boys.
"Scalawag.” a run-of-the-mill af
fair. is nonetheless recorded
rhythmically and with some dis
tinction by the same group. The
change of pace and mood in the
tunes makes for a nicely bal
anced record. . . . Mindy Carson
makes her record debut (Victor)
with "One More Time" and
“Twelve O’clock and All Is Well.”
Her treatment of these tunes
makes her record career a prom
ising one.
MGM’s contribution to the duo
| vocal cycle currently in vogue will
be the release some time in mid
July of a Betty Garrett-Larry
Parks record. Mr. and Mrs. in
private life, the couple’s first re
lease will pair a new movie tune,
"Reckon I'm in Love” with an
old one, “Side by Side.”.
New catalogues issued: Colum
bia and Victor have both issued
new catalogues covering releases
for their respective new ma
chines. Columbia’s long-playing
machine and Victor's 45-rpm ma
chine. Both catalogues are com
plete through August, 1949.
Candied Cherries
While the cherry season is still
with us make up a few batches
of candied cherries for next win
ter. These can pinch hit for the
relatively expensive maraschino
cherries if you wish.
