A LESS SANDY
ICE CREAM
Government Experimenting to
Make Smoother and More
PaiatabIe' Product.

What kind of ice cream appeals
to you mbst? What Is the best
method for the manufacturer to fol-
low IN making Ice cream? Does the
public palate crave rich cream or
thin, much sweetness or little? And
how can that occasional impression
Of sandiness in Ice cream be elimi.
mated?
These and other questions are
being taken seriously by Uncle Sam
who has delegated some of his
highly trained specialists of the
dairy division Of the Department Of
Agriculture to investigate. The &C.
Eeompanying illustration shows the
laboratory where the work is being
done and the man in the picture is
Owen e. Williams, of 1902 Euclid
avenue northwest. whose work has
gone far toward furnishing the ice
cream eating public with a better
lgrade Of cream.
L One Of the secrets Of smooth ice
Icream, it has been found, Is what
the scientists call hom0geniZation
by pressure, or breaking uD the
fat glObules before freezing. The
apparatus shown in the picture d
the homogenixer.
Experiments conducted by thu
specialists disclose some little known
facts. For instance. threa persons
out Of every four in one experiment
wanted ice cream made with 9
small quantity Of gelatin In prefer
ence. to that made without gelatin
Another showed that the greater thV

containing 10 per cent fat, the aver
age consumption was BAL grams &
