HE Glycerin in Water Cuts Cooking Time in Half, Chemist Declares Byf DELOS SMITH United Prest Science Editor New York W The newest wonder emerging from scientific experimentation could make woman's work even easier for instance, it reduces the cooking time of a four-min ute egg by one half. That won der is brought about, the na- Deloi Smith tional meeting of the American Chemical So ciety was told, simply by adding glycerin (glycerol) to the water in which eggs are boiled. Dr. James Kanegis, Office of Technical Services, U S. De partment of Commerce, enlight ened fellow chemists with evi dence that glycerin raises the boiling point of water by 10 degrees, if there is enough of it. Therefore, the simmering point is that much hotter, and Kanegis figured, the cooking rate is doubled. Generally speak ing chemical reactions are doub led by every 10 degrees increase in temperature. Built-in Thermometers To double cooking rate, the boiling fluid has to be 60 per cent glycerin and 40 per cent water. Less glycerin (or more water) means less, speeding of cooking. Kanegis reported that the ex periments were not with egg boiling alone. They also were with egg-poaching, prune-boiling. double-boiling of cereals, and pressure-cooking of pototoes. But the egg-boiling expert ments were the most elaborate, of necessity. Who knows the in ternal temperatures of a boiling egg? These experimental eggs had thermometers rigged inside them to record that temperature for comparison with- the glycerin-water temperature. Kanegis said glycerin had an "innocuous" effect on the taste of the prunes which were sim mered in it and water. There was an effect, of course, and it was his thought that "new taste values" could be produced by sweetening. Wife Does Experiments The cooking experiments were conducted in the Hyattsville (Md.) Junior High School by his wife, Brenda. She teaches home economics there. Roger Gilmont of the Manostat Corp. took part in the scientific work. His employer is interested in in creasing the uses of glycerin. However, there was absolutely no suggestions that glycerin should become another labor saving kitchen trick immediate ly. Glycerin like any chemical compound has chemical meaning inside people, ' whatever that meaning is. Kanegis told the chemists its use in cooking woter should be "further investigated, not only for home cooking, but for in dustrial processing as well." Glycerin is a by-product in the chemical processing of sodas and fatty acids. In pure form it has a sweet, warm taste. It has been an ingredient of skin lo tions for many years and as glycerin it is quite as innocent. But in association with certain other chemicals, it makes a very loud bang. For instance, nitro glycerol is dynamite. It also makes a fine anti-freeze. Oregon Fire Danger Declared on Increase Portland (IP The U.S. weather bureau has warned of an increase in fire danger throughout Oregon and Wash ington and the sinking of hu midity below 30 per cent in most interior sections. As a 160-acre fire in Coos county east of Bandon was brought under control Sunday, a new fire was reported in tim berland south of Alsea in Ben ton county.

Sentencing of the two men was continued pending .pre-sentence reports. Also in circuit court Monday was Archie Ernest Trott, 924 Main st., Ashland, who is charged with rape. Sentencing was continued as Trott requested an attorney. Glen Eugene Johnson, 36. Live Oak, Calif., and Willie Wood row Wolfe, 37, were arraigned in circuit court Friday morning on an indictment for grand larceny. They are charged with taking a watch, ring and $700 from the perlbn of Grady Connor, Medford. Arraigned Friday on district attorney's information on charges of non-support was Clarence E. Surber, Klamath Falls. He pleaded guilty and was given a year's suspended sen tence. John Warren, 45, Ashland, Friday was sentenced to ten years in the Oregon state pen itentiary on charges of sodomy. The four 'men appeared before Circuit Judge H. K. Hanna. The two year suspended sen tence of Arthur Vem Maxwell, 22, Sacramento, Calif., was re voked Friday by the court on charges of burglary not in a dwelling and he was sentenced to the Oregon state penitentiary for one and a half years. He is charged with breaking into the O. K. Rubber Welders build ing in October, 1955. Toledo Union Man Held as Embezzler Newport, Ore.

Our first visit here was with the American ambas sador, Llewellyn E. Thompson. He and his wife came here from his previous assignment in Au stria, and I think that in some ways life must seem different to them. I met them in the U.S. em bassy office building here which was built some four years ago and already shows signs of wear and tear. I am inclined to think that necessity for speed in building has somewhat reduced its qual ity, meaning both frequent re pair work and an earlier need for replacement. But that is al most an inevitable result of having to bring about great changes very quickly, particular ly after the war which here, as in many other countries, brought an enormous amount of devasta tion. In our own efforts to catch up with our needs in housing in the United States, which suf fered no devastation but simply was forced to curtail the use of building materials during the war, I also have seen certain housing developments which I didn't think lived up to FHA standards. Therefore, one must admire the tremendous efforts made in building here in Moscow which, I am sure, were duplicated in many other parts of Russia. Nevertheless. I am doubtful as to whether the cost of upkeep and replacement won' come upon the Soviets quicker than is economically desirable. After our visit with the am bassador, we returned for a long session with the chief of the Intourist Bureau at the National Hotel. We went over our travel plans and timetables with care, and already I am sure I won't be able to visit as many places as I wanted to see. But I will go to Tashkent in Central Asia next week. The weather here has been pleasant and warm, and in this respect think we have been for tunate so far. Women are still wearing light cotton or silk dres ses or skirts and blouses in the streets. Practically no women wear hats. Ossasionally they tie scarfs around their heads. The food at the National Hotel, where we are staying, is excellent. Manv neoDle told me I would have difficulty adjust ing to the different cooKing oi foods, but so far none of our party seems to have had any trouble. Dr. David Guirewitsch, who together with my secretary, Miss Maureen Corr, is accompanying me on this trip, and I joined a long queue making its way slow ly toward the tomb of Lenin and Stalin. This is one of the real sights of Moscow, I think. I understand that ever since 1924 thousands and thousands of people have come daily, pro gress slowly to the door of the tomb, enter and pay their re spects, and leave by another en trance. There is an honor guard at the tomb which is changed period ically, so even when the tomb is closed there is a crowd to watch the changing of the" guard. Pigeons come down to be fed in a corner of Red Square past which the long queue extends, and a woman on the sidewalk sells food for the birds in small envelopes. People break out of the line, particularly small child ren with their coins, to buy these envelopes of food and feed the pigeons, just as they do in Piazzo di St. Marco in Venice. But not even the smallest child throws away the empty envelope, but instead they give it back to the woman. This was significant to me because it ac counts in part for the cleanliness of this great city. Women with long- handled brooms, each allocated an area, sweep the streets constantly. Although I have not seen them, I am told that machines hose down the streets in the very early morning. They must be WANT SOME THING IN YOUR POCKET THAT IS BESIDES HOLES? Borrow The AmericanWay . .

Main Medford r By Eleanor Roosevelt (Trade Mark Registered U.S. Patent Office) washed in some way, for I have never seen a cleaner city. And the people themselves must co operate in a most astonishing fashion. How this cooperation is brought about I don't know. There are militia, as they are called, instead of police in the streets, and they keep strict order. But their efforts alone, I think, could not achieve these results. There must be an ele ment of pride in the city which stimulates the people themselves to greater care than is usually evident in city populations. We also visited the Kremlin Museum and Lenin's apartment. The museum has home wonder ful collections of jewels, icons, crosses, plates and goblets. There also are some beautiful collec tions of silver presented by dif ferent countries through their ambassadors in the days of the czars, and some porcelain, chief ly from France. One showcase of lace made in Russia was outstanding, and the costumes were interesting. The czars didn't live much in this place, but they came for coronations and occasional visits. In the apartments which they used were the usual type of Tuesaar, September 10, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE furnishings with some beautiful service of china. Lenin's apartment is a con trast, for though it is in the Kremlin, he wished to live as nearly as possible the way the workers lived and, to some ex tent, seems to have succeeded. One thing Lenin could always completely control was his food, and we were told that his meals always were frugal. As an ex ample, in the evenings he had only tea with sugar and black bread. If guests came a little jam would be added. Despite this frugality, his study and an adjacent room, where meetings of his govern men took place, showed he held the reins of power with a con cept of the potential strength of the great nation he was begin ning to build, was widely read, and a highly intelligent and cul tured man.
