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. '
State and federal forestry of
ficials said the over-all fire dan
ger situation is critical.

My Pay
Moscow. 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

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

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. E. R.
