Don't shy away from making muffins because you fear only fair results. Quick breads are the most easily mixed of all baked goods and you need to bear in mind only a lew simple rules to have success. , The most important point to remember is not to "over-mix." Muffin batter, for example, should be "bumpy" -- stirred only until the dry ingredients are dampened by the liquid. Biscuits should not be worked to death--they will be far more flaky and tender if the CQok is not too ambitious. . ; Quick - hot breads are an easy Way to put appetite appeal into the simplest meal. Served with butter and jam, they will really give the family something to look forward to even if the main dish is hash from leftover roast or soup and salad from accumulation of dabs of food in the. refrigerator.

Perfect biscuits are light and fluffed, fairly straight and even on the sides, level on top, w»ll shaped and regular. Their tended crust is golden brown and rather smpoth. When broken open, they sho^v a dreamy white, fluffy crumb which is even and fine-grained. Over-mixing, or too long kneading of the dough makes biscuits tough with a pale crust. Speed and light handling are essential for flakiness. Under-mixing, on the other hand, causes lack of flakiness in biscuits. These biscuits also lack in volume. The fat needs to be well distributed for a flaky texture. The proportions for plain biscuit are as follows: 2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons bak Prunes and nuts for decoration Sift together first four ingredients. Cream shortening and add sugar Lynn Says: Here are tips on egg cookery: Beads on a meringue come from too much sugar. Frothy meringue comes from too little sugar. Two tablespoons of sugar to one egg white is a good rule to follow. Eggs keep better if they are not washed before refrigerating. Never place meringue on a hot pie filling. It will form syrup between filling and meringue and "skid." Pile "the meringue in the center of the pie and anchor to the crust on the edges after spreading. To open eggs evenly without breaking the shell, crack with a knife that is not too sharp.. The volume of the egg white rnay be increased slightly when teaspoons of^ water are added tc vhite before whipping. This applies particularly » f <»ggs not ac 300,000 Nazis to J1 ace War Trial Entire Gestapo, S. S. Listed v A* Criminals; Death for * ; S Big Shots Suit. WASHINGTON. -- Following the master trial of big-shot criminals to begin in Nuernberg riext month, it is expected that 300,000 to 400.000 Germans will be placed on trial on charges of wartime criminal actions. A reliable and informed official gave those figures to the United Press. Twenty-four persons already have b<?en named for the master trial, which will be conducted by commissioners of the United States, France, Great Britain and the Soviet Union. This group includes Hermann Go^ring, Rudolf Hess an<j other Nazi stars. Among charges to be included in the indictments is that the Nazi S. S>and the Gestapo were criminal organizations. It is expected that this charge will be proved adequately at the Nuernberg proceedings. Thereafter the trial of small-fry members of those outlawed outfits would be largely matterst of summary procedure, the United Press was informed. Mostly Gestapo and S. S. . The S. S. and Gestapo members will make up a large part of the 300,000 to 400,000 persons whose trial and punishment is forecast. Some members of these organizations properly will escape punishment, the United Press was informed, on grounds that they were forced into membership and coerced into obedience. The Nuernberg master trial is expected to be the last joint prosecu-' tion by the four powers. The thousands of additional ^individuals will be tried by local courts of various kinds, including military courts and courts of liberated states. The 24 master trial defendants in custody almost unquestionably will be executed, the United Press was informed. One still is missing. Martin Bormann, Hitler's secretary, has not been accounted for. Proof Is Complete. The German prisoners are described as an unprepossessing lot, some sexually perverted and others accustomed to the habitual use of drugs. The proof against them is said to be so complete, conclusive and unanswerable as to astonish even officials who knew the men were guilty but foresaw some technical difficulties in obtaining satisfactory proof. The four powers are determined go make an "indisputable r,ecord" in the master trial. It will be of such detailed and overwhelming nature as to make it impossible 10 or 20 or $0 years from now for anyone to start a propaganda campaign attempting to show that the trials were unfair. The method of execution has not been determined. The U. S. army opposes shooting convicted war criminals because military men regard death by gunfire as an honorable exit. Convicted defendants at the master trial probably will be hanged. Others also may be executed, but it is not unlikely' that the 300,000 to 400,000 additional trials now foreseen will much more often end in prison or forced labor sentences.

Touring in Canada Back To Prewar Proportions OTTAWA. -- The end of gasoline rationing has boomed tourist traffic in Canada to prewar proportions. From coast to coast, steak - hungry Americans are swarming across the border to eat meat, catch fish and enjoy the scenery.

Cordurella Is an Ideal Fabric For School Wear These Gold Days "GAY GADGETS" By CHERIE NICHOLAS' "^^OW that the holiday season is ^ over, mother's thoughts turn to taking up the matter of household sewing to be done. First in mind is that little daughter needs school, play and party dresses which are both "comfy" and pretty-pretty at the same time. And she knows the finished garments will be just that, for she has decided to make them of cordurella, the soft modern pinwale version of1 the corduroy ever beloved by both mother and daughter. It's evident that mother's initial shopping tour in the new year will lead straight to the fabric section where she will buy so many yards of cordurella in this color and so many in that. Then to the pattern counter to choose the latest in jumper, party and play clothes. Or perhaps mother will decide to buy the little garments ready-made. In either event the result will be just such cunning styles as are here pictured. Designers of little folks fashions are using this year many of the details that distinguish college-girl and big-sister clothes, much to the delight of the youngsters. For example, the popular and practical jumper dress such as you see pictured herewith to the right has become as important a ;"success" fashion) for little girls a$ it is with their elders. The jumper-dress stands out preeminently as about the most practical style for youngsters that mothers could choose. The cordurella of which it is made is a favorite because of its style-with-stamina qualities. It's so easy to launder, too. Nice for balmy days with a cunning blouse, and worn with a sweater top in cold bleak weather it's a perfect answer to the "keep warm" problem. Buttons all the way down the front. More Scarf Strategy This clever shoulderette is created from a very beautiful scarf. It is a large square with ~a huge cabbage rose on a background wallpaper print done in black and white. The focal point of interest in this lovely topper for dress-up occasions is the realistic rose. The shoulderette is achieved in a jiffy. Merely knot the ends of the square to form armholes and turn the border back for added sleeve ana collar interests, Typical of the gay trimmings that dress up classic styles is the shoulder-s|rap type centered in the group. It has bands of bright colored braid to set off the dark tone of fhe cordurella. A long-sleeved blouse which buttons inside the cuff for easy handling is just like mother's favorite mode. If a remnant of cordurella be left over in the same or even a different color a wise move would be to stitch up a wee bolero to wear with this dress, which would multiply its usefulness. A winsome dressy version is seen in the party dress of cordurella shown to the left. This little charmer is gaily trimmed with colorful embroidery on the tiny bodice. Crisp white ruching tucked into the square neckline is another reason why this dainty little frock will endear itself to the little girl who wears it. Beloved among the party frocks shown in new collections, a favorfte is a cute princess style with dainty lace collar and tiny puff sleeves. This model comes in heavenly pink or celestial blue cordurella, guaranteed to make any little beloved daughter look like an angel child. Deeper blues are used for the older sizes, such as delft blue, dark green rind bright red. A little pinafore with fulK skirt and jumper top with straps over the shoulders, something that mother can run up in a jiffy on the machine, will prove a very practical addition to a child's wardrobe. Then there's the smart little cardigan jacket or bolero suits that are so very attractive. You can make them or you can buy them. In order to conserve the limited yardage available just now, cordurella is sometimes combined with other fabrics. The jodphur suit so smart for either brother or sister is sometimes made up of gabardine for the pants topped with a cordurella jacket. Long overalls for tiny tots are of cordurella with jacket to match in Dutch blue styled with a front of gabardine. Released by Western Newspaper Union.
