Here's a Change From Old Stand-Bys:
Cereal Cookies; So Tasty, Low in Cost
MID you ever hear of a
“cerealia?” No, it’s not a
breakfast food. It’s the festival
that the ancient Romans staged
every yenr in honor of Ceres, God
dess of the Grains. You can have
a cerealia of your own; a Cookie
Cerealia, for when it conies to
turning out those botches of cook
ies, there’s nothing that adds so
much taste and variety ut such u
low cost as the well-known morn-
ing cereal.
Nice purt about making cereal
cookies is thut the cereal is al
ready cooked and tested in the
manufacturer’s ovens.
All you
need do is mix it in according to
directions. But nicer still are the
gorgeous-tasting delicacies that
you can produce from just ordi
nary, every-day corn Hukes und
the like. Sort of a change from
the old stand-bys, the sand-tarts
and ginger snaps.
Even the nurnes of these cookies
sound good: Bran Butterscotch
Cookies, New Zealand Corn Flake
Kisses, Mincemeat Hermits, Pep-
pies, and Peanut Butter Maca
roons. Happily, none of these cull
for expensive ingredients.

BRITAIN WANTED U. 8. TO GET
EIRE TO GIVE IH> HASES
Confidential conversations have
been taking place between the Brit-
I ish and the state department for
some time aimed nt getting Irish
naval bases for the British.
In those conversations the British
have wanted to place the United
States in the unique role of either
persuading or bulldozing Eire into
handing over the bases. Just how
the United States handled it the
British didn't much care.
But in talking to the state depart
ment, the British pointed out that if
they took Irish bases by force, there
would be a burst of anti-British feel
ing from Irish ail over the United
States, particularly New England.
This, the British felt, would be ex
tremely bad just at a time when
Britain particularly needs American
support.
The British also pointed out to the
state department that they were

In fact, brass

may be one of the first base metals
to be put on the military priority
list.
Cause of the shortage is twofold:
1. Lack of sufficient zinc smelting
facilities. Zinc is an essential ore
in brass, which in turn is essential
in the manufacture of all ammuni
tion casings, from bullets for small
arms to giant shells for the heaviest
cannon.
2. Shortage of brass manufactur
ing facilities.
The two are Interrelated and there
can be no improvement in one un
less the other also is remedied.
There is no dearth of zinc ore or
scrap zinc, which are in plentiful
supply. The bottleneck is in smelt
ing and brass-making plants.
At present the United States has
some 20-odd primary slab zinc
smelters and five so-called secondary
smelters, which use scrap zinc in
stead of ore. Their combined out
put is 450.000 tons—far short of the
American and British defense re
quirements already specified.
Meanwhile, our own shell needs
and those of the British increase
daily. To meet this, brass manu
facturers are hurriedly expanding
their rolling mill facilities and also
adding machinery to turn out cas
ings. But all this will be useless un
less they can get more smelted zinc.
In a belated move to deal with
this menacing situation, the Defense
commission several weeks ago
