MAGAZINE PAGE. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. €., WEDNESDAY. APRIL 13. 1932, WOMEN’S FE ATURES. Cooky Recipes for Children BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ITH the children everywhere responding to the call of the Spring and enjoying the freedom of play out of doors, mothers must expect them to have appetites for midmeals. One of the most satisfactory wajs to appease such appetites is to have a well filled €ooky crock. With the youngsters com- enough more flour, sifted to make the | dough just stiff enough to roll out, not | too thin. Or it can be dropped in! spoonfuls ontc a greased pan instead of | being rolled and cut with any shaped | cooky cutter. Ginger need not be used if the molasses cookies are preferred | without the zest. The grated orange | rind supplies a milder zest | | Variety can be given this cooky dough | by putting in one cupful of raisins one time. At another use chopped dates. and again add peanuts or any nut meats. | Sugar Cookies.—One-quarter cupful | shortening (preferably butter), one and | one-quarter cupfuls Sugar, two eggs, | one-quarter cupful milk, one-half tea- | spoonful salt, three teaspoonfuls baking | powder, two and one-half cupfuls flour and one teaspoonful any preferred flavoring. | Cream shortening, sugar and egg | yolks, adding them one at a time after the two other ingredients are partly creamed. Put salt and baking powder with flour. Beat whites of eggs very stif. Add milk and flavoring to creamed mixture. Sift in the flour and | fold in the egg whites. Roll out or drop | in spoonfuls onto buttered tins and € in a quick oven Chocolate Cookies.—To the above add | one or two squares of melted chocolate | just before adding the flour. Or put the | chocolate with the one-quarter cupful sugar and two tablespoonfuls extra k in & pan over boiling water un is dissolved. Then stir in one of egg volks and leave until egg Is § cooked and all ingredients oughly incorporated. Add to mixture made without the portions of ingredients put in with the chocolate. Do not diminish the T That with | the chocolate is exira. As chocolate | tends to stiffen mixtures. a little more milk may be needed or a little less flour may be used. Drop from spoon onto buttered tins and bake. JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in Etiquette. BY JOS. J. FRISCH. THOSE WHO CONDEMN AMERICAN WOMEN FOR SMOKING CIGARETTES SHOULD CONSIDER NORWEGIAN WOMEN.

UNCLE RAY’S. CORNER Joke Upon Cruel Titan. REEKS of anclent times told stories about powerful gods and beautiful goddesses. They believed that most of these beings made their homes on Mount Olympus, in the far north of Greece. Chief of the gods was Zeus, and he was said to hurl thunder-bolts. If you had asked an olden Greek how Zeus gained his power, he would have had_this story to tell: “In the beginning. all things were mixed up. There was no ocean, there was no land. Earth, fire, air and water were in one great mass, and the shape was always changing. “Then a wonderful thing happened Earth, fire, air and water were divided Air and fire rose. and the sky was formed. The water sank, and made &an ocean in which the earth could float “The sky was a god, and the earth was the goddess. Among their children were huge beings known as Titans One of these was named Cronus. In battle with his own father, Cronus won the victory and became ruler of all things “Rhea, the wife of Cronus, became W TAKING THE CLOTHING FROM HER CHILD, SHE WRAPPED IT AROUND A STONE. the mother of five children.

Taking the clothing from her infant, she wrapped it around a stone. Then she gave the bundle to Cronus, saying: ‘Now you can swallow your sixth child! “Cronus gulped the bundle down his great throat. The real baby was taken away and hidden in a cave.” UNCLE RAY. (Copyrisht, 1932.) LITTLE BENNY l— BY LE® PAPE. The Weakly News. Weather: Warmer in the sun.

We may prate repeatedly that babies are all different and can't be fed or trained exactly alike, but it strikes me most forcefully that this is seldom true, Methods of feeding and training have become verv much standardized. and the majority of problems which moth- ers encounter spring from deviations from these standards. With ling regularity babies exhibit unusual be- havior only when their schedules and diets and training depart from the usual. In the matter of diets we have dis- covered that babies need certain amounts of milk, depending upon their ages and weights. They certain fruit and vegetable juices, portions of cereal and cod liver oil dren fail to get these foods, or when When chil- | the amounts are excessive or limited, the problem arises. Babies are ap- parently mueh more standardized than we like to admit. Mrs. C. K.'s baby of seven month¥ sleeps only half an hour or so in day- time and is restless and wakeful at night. “The baby weighed eight pounds at birth and gained nine pounds in seven months” she detalls. ‘“He has a bottle of milk, six and one-half ounces, at 6 o'clock. Cereal, three tablespoons and five ounces of milk at 10. Three tablespoons of vegetables and milk at 2 pm.; and a bottle of six and one-half ounces of milk at b pm. ana 10 pm. He has two tea- spoonfuls of cod liver oil and one- half cup of orange juice. He has plenty of fresh air. He isn't cold when he wakes up, as his hands are always warm. I would appreciate your advice.” I have to conclude that this bottle six and one-half ounces is whole n of milk, though you do not say so.

If it is whole milk, the amount is all right but it would be preferable at this age to use a larger feeding four fmes daily and no feeding at night.

It was small and it was short. It was beginning to slip. He tried to get & | better hold and lost it altogether. With & scream of rage he watched that tail disappear down that crack. Then he saw something white moving down there. Yowler flew into a terrible rage. He was quite beside himself. He spat and snarled and growled, and he did his best to pull apart that pile of stones He knew now that that Mouse had not come to life, but that some one had been bold enough to take it away, to steal it, while his back had been turned for & few minutes. With the sound of that spitting snarl and the glimpse of | something white moving down there, he knew who had taken that Mouse. It was Shadow the Weasel. “I'll get you if I have to tear this whole pile ‘of stones down!" snarled Yowler. “I'l get you if it is the last thing I ever do. That is my Mouse. You know that that is my Mouse. “You mean it was your Mouse. It is my Mouse now. If you think you can get it, come on,” replied Shadow most provokingly. And Yowler did. He sent stones roll- ing this way and rolling that way, and | all the time he was wasting his strength | most foolishly, for he wasn't even frightening Shadow. The latter was enjoying it.

I'll just follow with my | nose and see if I can catch him again | before he gets to & hole.” Of course, Yowler thought all this in | a.flash while he was glaring all about to see if there was any one in sight who might have stolen that Mouse. He saw no one. Putting his nose to the ground, | he began to follow the Mouse scent. It was Mouse scent, all right, yet somehow it was not guite the same as the scent | he had so often followed where tiny feet had left it. It led around the base of a rock, across s little patch of bare ground, over & log and along the other side of it to the end. With that Mouse scent was mingled another scent which caused Yowler to wrinkle his nose and 1ift his lips in dislike. Beyond the end of the log was a pile of loose stones, some almost big enough to be called boulders. Among these were openings of all simes, such as you will always find in a pile of stones of all shapes and sizes Just disappearing in one of these openings was that Mouse, With & bound Yowler reached that disappear- ing Mouse and seized all that there was to seize hold of—the short tail. Yes, sir, all but that little tail had disap- peared down that crack. ,Yowler pulled, expecting to pull that Mouse out with- out the least trouble. It started to come and then stopped.
