BY JESSE FANT EVANS, | insisted on being supplied with them e | In the “dog days” of the Capital's heat few people stop to think that the iced beverages and ice cream con- coctions that bring relief from scorch- ing temperatures were once luxuries to the average citizen. Modern refrigerating science and invention have made possible within the confines of our homes, be they ever so simple, the iced drinks and frozen delicacies which earlier only graced the tables of potentates and kings. Nobody really knows in what mists of antiquity they actually had their | originbut it is thought that they | first were evolved by means of Alpine | snow brought from mountain fast- nesses by slaves whose business it was | to be fleet-footed enough to reach their master with it unmelted It is recorded that Alexander the | Great was fond of drinks so iced and | on his campaigns. This fondness was | also apparently shared by the| Ptolemys, who served iced drinks at their banquets whem they wished especialfly to honor their guests. Quen- tius Maximus, the Roman, it fs| claimed, left a recipe for compounding | a delicacy not unlike ice cream which | Julius Caesar preferred above all other | desserts at the conclusion of his feasts. | Marco Polo Found It. According to the journal jottings of Marco Polo, ice cream was known to | the Chinese in 1925 and was at that time enjoved by this globe-trotting tourist in their midst. It is also as- serted that upon his return from the Orient, Polo brought with him certain frozen milk and cream ice recipes which became increasingly popular among the Italians, and were subse- quently introduced to America by an Ttalian cook. It is likewise thought that frozen | desserts were in vogue at the Prench court in 1537 and that King Charles’ chef introduced them at the English court in 1625. In all probability, Con- tinental ice cream was more like our modern mousses, parfaits and frozen custards. In August 1774 it is a matter of | record that ice cream was set before | the Duc de Chatres by his chef, who | had caused the duke's coat of arms to be represented upon its frozen sur- | face | An old account of entertainments at the court of Louis XIV of France speaks of his chef. on one occasion, placing before each guest & silver cup in which apparently rested a fresh-laid egg decorated like an Easter 2g.

The story goes that the cook who had made it for the White House with Mistress Dolly's approval afterwards resigned his position and successfully set himself up as an ice cream spe- cialist. During the previous administration of President Jefferson, it is said, a local preacher in the neighborhood of Monticello, either on his own or aided and abetted by the notable inventive genius of the author of the Declaration of Independence, evolved | a type of ice box in which the butter could be transported by horseback from Virginia to “the President's House in Washington.” Another story has it that Mrs. Nancy Johnson of the United States was the originator of a device for freezing ice cream that antedated the first commercial hand-cranked freezer in our country. Coconut Milk Ice Cream. Oddly enough, another American widow of Col. David Dubos Gaillard, world famous Army engineer, whose | name always will be associated with that of Col. Gorgas in the successful | carrying through of the Panama Canal, was responsible for the first serving of ice cream in the Panama Canal Zone. | Mrs. Gaillard, who accompanied her husband to the Canal Zone in the line of his duty there, often sighed for ice | cream in the distressing tropical heat One day she achieved the seemingly impossible by concocting, with the aid of her colored cook from the States, some delicious ice cream. As the chief | | ingredient she used the milk from the | abundance of fresh coconuts at hand. | Mrs. Gaillard still has among the records of her Panama Canal days the proportions which she finally evolved for her afterwards famous fresh coconut milk ice cream that | became the piece de resistance at he dinners in their Army headquarters Miss Mollie Davis of 1921 Kalorama road has in her possession a quaint letter from a young English visitor to the States named Sophie, who in | describing her visit to Mrs. Elisha | Riggs, wife of one of the founders of the Riggs Bank. comments as one of | the major items of interest in con- | nection with her sojourn in the Capi- tal City of the Nation, “She sent to | the confectioner's for Ice Cream,” the | | word ice cream being capitalized ap- | parently because it was set apart in her mind as being a particularly delectable American delicacy. The first of the great developers of the commercial ice cream industry to advertise ice cream as a standard of perfection, “made in the Ameri- | can fashion.” was Jacob Fussel, a Baltimore milk dealer. He started a | new enterprise when in 1851 he froze the surplus cream from his dairy herds in York County, Pennsylvania, | and experimented with selling it to a few of his customers in the “Monu- | mental City.” So great was the de- | ment for making STAR, WASHINGTON, mand for his frozen product that eventually he abandoned his large and profitable milk business to build up a still larger and more profitable ice cream business, with Baltimore as its headquarters. Brine Freezer Invented. In 1902 Harvey Miller, with the in- vention of his brine freezer, took the second step forward in connection with the generally prevailing methods of commercial ice cream manufac- ture popular in our generation. Several years later Clarence W. Vogt of Louisville, Ky., whose father and uncle before him were pioneers in the refrigeration business and who had studied refrigeration at Corneil University and abroad, started still another era in popularizing ice cream consumption in America with his mechanized manufacture of choco- late covered ice cream ‘pies.” In January, 1934, 32 years after Miller's invention of the brine freezer, Vogt brought out his amazing arrange- ice cream by mile. By means of it, the ice cream mix is pumped into one end of the machinery and delivered wrapped in ice cream cylinders about two inches long and two inches in diameter. They are said to be larger in ice cream con- tent than the most generous portion that goes with the average soda. About the middle of the machinery is to be found a continuous tube of hard ice cream passing along an endless belt like a never-ending stream of toothpaste being squeezed out of a giant tube. Factories in New York, Brooklyn and Detroit do a flourishing business in manufacturing this newfangled ice cream, although Washington firms to date have found that the public on the whole conservatively prefers its ice cream concoctions along tried and true lines, with little variation from long accepted forms and moids. Popularity Gains. Of course mechanical ice boxes have done much to popularize the freezing of ice cream and all manner of frozen cainties to almost as great an extent among the poor as with the rich From the time of its popularization in Washington and subsequently throughout the Nation by Mistress Dolly Madison, ice cream has main- tained its hold as the prime favorite among American desserts. Even those runners-up in popular favor, apple, cherry and mince pies, have been annexed by ice cream lovers with the delectable, cal filled concociion, “pie a la mode,” which is simply your pet pie topped with a serving of ice cream, as one way out of the difficulty | of having to make a choice between ie or ice cream. In addition to its suprem dessert. ice cream was long ago evalu- ated as having distinct food valu and its commercial manufacture every- where in the United States is sub- ject not only to our pure-food laws. but to the rigid inspection of local and State authorities for the zeneral sar produced. acy as A ABSENT-MINDED?

C., JULY EGYPTIANS AWAIT CORONATION RITES |Farouk to Become Head of Senior Arab State in Colorful Ceremony. By the Agsociated Press. CAIRO.—Egypt's youthful ruler will be the first King to be “crowned” | as head of the senior Arab state in a ceremony of . Oriental splendor here July 31. The title King has been in use only ! since Britain’s declaration of Egyptian independence in 1922 Farouk’s father, Ahmed Fuad I, inherited only the title of Sultan when he succeeded his brother, Hussein Kamel, in 1917. Then there is no crown of Egypt. The “coronation” actually means that the youthful monarch will be invested with the sacred jeweled sword of Mohamed Ali the Great, founder of his dynasty. The ceremony, rivaled in pageantry of the East only by the courts of the wealthier Indian maharajahs, will take place in the great El Rifai Mosque. Father Buried in Edifice. Farouk’s father and several of his forebears are buried in this sacred edifice, revered by all Egyptian Mos- lems. Venerable, white-bearded Sheikh Moustafa El Maraghi, rector of Al Azhar Arabic University and religious leader of Egyptian Moslems, will per- form the ceremony, assisted by scores | of “ulemas” (priests). | Though embellished with many de- WH senting the latest ideas in Business and Secretarial procedure Courses starting Acency openings Register today.

Then the ruler sat in a huge tent in the middle of something resembling a fairground, with his chiefs ranged before him. Oath by Rulers, He took the oaths to defend Islam, obey the Koran and work and fight for his people which Farouk, as heir t the Pharaohs, will take July 31. Interminable speeches of loyalty, acts of chivalry and outstanding feats of horsemanship by the chiefs and re- tainers followed. Eighteen-year-old Farouk and his advisers, who were present at the cor- | onation of George VI in London, are determined that all that the Orient can provide in magnificence will be incorporated in the ceremony. Certain to be impressed are Farouk's four young sisters, the Princesse: Fewzia, Faiza, Faikah and Fathya, who are hoping to be present. Farouk studied in England after a combined Western and Oriental train- ing in Egypt. Returned as King. When his father died, April, 1936, he curtailed his stay in England and returned to Cairo as King. Advisers immediately began schooling him in the intricacies of Egyptian politics, in which “the palace,” though consti- tutionally as limited as Buckingham Palace, has played a considerable part in the past. e %s Just completing a long Euro- pean holiday prior to assuming his royal duties, EDUCATIONAL.
