PART TWO SHORTCAKE As soon as you can make good "biscuits, you can make wonderful shortcake. Real, old-fashioned, biscuit-type shortcake is just made with rich biscuit dough.

Just as in making biscuits, there are two ways of making shortcake. Standard Shortcake 2 cups flour. teaspoon salt. 4 teaspoons baking powder. 2 tablespoons sugar.

cup hard, cold shortening. 2-3 cup milk. 1 egg (optional). Mix shortcake dough by exactly the same rules I gave you at the or the dumplings can he placed right in the stew pot so that they will rest on the' solid meat and vegetables and cook in the steam of the stew; in this way, they absorb the delicious flavor-from the cooking itself. The cover must fit closely on the stew pot.

Give dumplings 15 minutes I cook without raising the cover I from steamer or stew, pot; raising I it would be like holding your I oven door open when a cake is ris- to ing--it would chill the mixture, so that it would fall and be heavy. Trust your dumplings when you give them plenty of steam; they will be all right. Standard Dumplings Make exactly the same dough i make for the drop type have the convenience of being able to prepare our biscuit douga some hours ahead and storing it, covered, in the well-chilted icebox until baking time. Left-over biscuits may be served as fresh- baked by putting them in a paper bag, closing it carefully and placing in' a hot oven, 450 degrees until warmed through. (This, too, may be done with the bread rolls.) Tea biscuits are also delicious split and toasted.

Just how far these biscuit- doughs will go in helping you to concoct interesting, even distinguished, little dishes, will be delightfully shown in Planning Party.

A resolution, adopted at the association's convention termed the AAA "a failure and a fraud, an insult to every self-respecting farmer a crime against society and civilization." "It proposed to drive 2,000,000 farmers from the land, while another agency of the administration seeks to settle 2,000,000 of the city unemployed on subsistence farmers. It subjects the farmers to the virtual dictatorship of a bureaucracy over which they have no control." The official stand against the AAA was adopted with loud cheers- late last night, after a long day of militant speech-making attacking the "new deal," Secretary of Agricultural Wallace, Undersecretary Rexford Tugwell, and -'the money lords." Holiday officials' said delegates from 20 states were present at the convention. Approximately 2,000 persons attended the sessions, but the number increased to an estimated 5,000 when the Rev. Charles B.

Coughlin, nationally known priest of Royal Oak, spoke late in the afternoon. "Tugwell or Christ" is the issue before the nation today. Father Coaghlin asserted. He attacked Tugwell as the servant of international bankers and charged him responsibility for the crop reduction plans of the AAA. Carrying out their expressed opposition to.

the AAA, the Holiday Farmers added a demand that Secretary Wallace be removed. Lieut. Gov. G. Kraschel of Iowa defended the administration and termed President Roosevelt "the ordained leader of progressive democracy." FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 4, PARK PREDICTS Jf a.vaaA^**'*-- BONDS WILL CARRY j.
