Nowadays the great day of ac-
ouirin a bicycle may come as
early as the age of 3V4. because
of the new proportioned Duces
equipped with extra "outrigger"
wheels of the youngest cyclists.
Even a very small child may tide
one of these handsome affairs as
easily as he manipulates a tri
cycle. Later, when he has acquired
the necessary skill, the extra back
wheels are removed, the seat and
handle bars adjusted, and he has
a full-fledged two wheeler.
Assistant Santas are warned,
however, of the Importance of
buying the right size bike, and the
following table is issued by the
Bicycle Institute of America, for
guidance of parents or other bike
purchasers:
If the youngster la frem ZYt te
I rear aid. ret him a 16-lnen
(wheel diameter) two -wheeler
with extra "trigger wheels.
If he is from 5 to 7, a 20 -inch
bike is the preper size.
Eight te It-year -olds will want
a 24-lneh srxe bike.
For ll-year-olds and ap a fall
aimed ES-lneh bicycle Is correct.
It is pointed out that a bike that
fits the rider is much easier and
safer U ride.
Now that toddlers are learning
to ride the new proportioned
bikes, seme safety pointers also
are in order, which parents should
teeeh the children from the very
first.
Almost anyone can stay upright
on bicycle, says the institute, but
how many actually know how to
ride correctly?
Probably the most common mis
take new riders make is in having
the seat and handle bars incor
rectly adjusted. The seat is at the
right height when, with the rider's
leg straight and the pedal at "6
o'clock, the heel is on the pedeL
Handle ban are right when, with

handle bar grips, the rider leans
slightly forward.
To ride properly and with the
least effort, the ball of the foot
should be on the pedal, not the
instep or the heel. Knees should
kept close to the frame, not only
because it is more graceful, but
because the knee joint is a hinge
that works much more efficiently
if it bends normally.
That's about all there Is to It,
except that when riding in town
or on country highways use com
mon sense and obey all traffic
rules. If traffic is heavy at Inter
sections, dismount and walk
across. Don't hitch on to other
vehicles, and don't above all.
weave in and out of traffic. Ride
sensibly and remember a safe
rider is a happy rider.

Sugar Plums
Have Modern
Type Stand-in
Just what do you think of when
you hear that "visions of sugar
plums danced through their
heads'? Candy, cookie, candy
canes the answers are varied and
numerous, but every one includes
Santy Claus and Christmas trees,
for such is our rear memory of
The Night Before Christmas" and
rightly so. But there isn't a better
addition to the list of goodies than
"sugar figs" as well as plums.
SURPRISE CHRISTMAS TREE
COOKIES
Make a rich cookie dough and
color it a pale green. Roll out to
a thin sheet and cut out with a
tree shaped cutter or with a pat
tern. Place on a buttered baking
sheet. In the center of each little
tree, right where the trunk of
the tree goes up the center, place
a line of the following fig stuff
ing. Then place another cookie
tree on top. With a fork dipped
lightly in water, press the edges
gently together clear around the
cookie. Bake in a moderate over
(350 degrees F.) for about 12
minutes or until the cookies are
done but only lightly browned.
Remove from the pan to a cake
drying rack with a pancake turn
er. V
FIG STUFFING FOR COOKIES
20 dried figs, about
Yt cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Yt cud boiling water
1 Yt tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon strained honey
Cover fias with boiling water
and let stand for 10 minutes.
Drain. With scissors snip off the
stems and then snip the figs into
small bits. Place in top of double
boiler with sugar and cornstarch.
Stir in water quickly. Add lemon
juice and the honey. Stir until
thickened. Cool before placing on
cookies. This makes a nice filling
for a layer cake, too.

Sugar plums in the modern version, decorate this small
table-sized tree. Make a big batch of the sweets and replace
them on the tree as eaten. It's a good way to treat all comers,
from the grocery boy and mailman to holiday social
callers. Use a good basic cookie dough, cut into different
shapes and punch a generous hole through each before
baking. A powdered sugar icing will serve for decoration.
Shapes can be made from cardboard and cut around.
Ing. Decorate top with a wreath
of hard sauce and sliced marasch
ino cherries. Serves 6.
