thrice filtered through quartz filters and
then poured into 330-pound tanks, which are
then lowered into the brine. There they re-
main for SO hours, at the end of which time
they are fully frozen.
In the meantime, however, air has been
constantly pumped into the tanks to keep the
incipient ice from becoming murky.
"Murky Ice is just as good ice as any
other" says Mr.. Miller, but it doesn't look
as good"
Despite the filtering of the water some
impurities are bound to gather in the core of
the ice cake. Some hours before the cake has
reached the frozen stage, the core Is pumped
out and fresh water poured in. In this way
impurities are virtually eliminated.

declared Edward L. Weikert. jr., of
Washington, veteran coin collector
"and not scratch the surface of ex-
isting data on coins" Thousands
Of books have been written on the
subject: 5000 Of these are IN the
Library of Congress.
An absorbing as we'll as profitable
hobby, the stories coins tell add
pages to the book of mans history.
Some of the coins that tell this story
will be shown at the Smithsonian
Institution this week, National Coin
Week. Part of Mr.. Weikert's collec-
ton will be placed on exhibition at
the Hamilton National Bank, Four
teenth and G streets NV. The bulk
of his collection is kept in his home
town in Pennsylvania.
The American Numismatic Asso-
citation is the organization respon-
sible for the promoting of National
Coin Week, or which Mr.. Weikert is
assistant chairman. The word "nu-
mismatic," as one might suspect,
comes from the Latin "numisma, .
meaning coin. Numismatics is the
science that deals with the origin,
history, mythology and art Of coins.
Mr.. Weikert has been a coin en-
thusiast since, at 5 years of age, he
discovered his first coin on his ia
theirs farm. The coin, found on one
of the Civil War battlefields, was a
United States gold dollar minted in
1853. Today, his collection includes

The Chef Says

A reader inquiries plaintively If
dirty birds nests are used to make
birds nest soup or is that just a
name?" The answer S-birds' nests
are used, but they are a special
kind.
Edible birds nests are made by
small swifts that are native to the
mainland of Asia and many of the
Pacific islands. These little birds
are somewhat like our humming
birds. The oriental swifts make
their nests almost entirely from a
special secretion from the mucous
glands in their mouths. The nests
themselves are about the size and
shape of a small teacup.
The dried glutinous secretion. re-
sembles isinglass or the old fashion,
ed sheet" gelatin and lends a
special texture to soups. The Chi
nese discovered this much as the
Indians here discovered the value
of dried file leaves in lending a
slippery thickness to gumbos.
Throughout the Orient one finds
Chinese engaged in the business of
buying, preparing and selling the
nests, which the swifts build by the
thousands. Cheap-grade nests may
have bits of feathers and other
foreign matter in them, so the most
expensive are those which are prac-

tically pure" Cleaning them is a
tedious process, but the finished
product finds its way into Chinese
food shops all over the world.
I have eaten Birds Nest Soup, but
knowing the story in full. I am
afraid I failed to enjoy it properly.
However, If you want to try 1t, I
suggest you go to a good Chinese
restaurant and make its acquaint-
ance there. Then, If you become an
addict, you may make 1T at home
yourself, like. this:
Soak / pound Of birds nest in
cold water overnight. Drain of the
cold water and cook in boiling water
for 15-minutes. Drain again, cook
again--the whole procedure must be
done twice. Then clean the nest
carefully, being careful to remove all
feathers or loose particles.
Put the nest into pot and cover
with water enough to make soup.
Chop u pound of pork into hash
and add it to the nest and water.
Cook over a slow fire for two hours.
Season with a tablespoon of Chinese
sauce and a good dash of salt.
When done, pour the soup into
bowl and garnish with shredded
chicken and shredded ham. with
a sprinkling of finely minced pars-
ley over all. Eat good and hot.

credit of discovering the coming of

No matter how you finish on the

It's the dessert I particularly
want to tell you about. This is the
cutest trick of the week and it is
one the young hostess can prepare
herself before she takes off for the
party. All you need are u paper
cup cake holders, q package Of
chocolate bits and 2 tablespoons
shortening. First you melt the bits
and shortening over hot water and
stir until chocolate is melted and
mixture is well blended. Now, with
a teaspoon, swirl the mixture
around the inside Of the paper cup
cake holder covering the entire in
side surface with q layer of the
chocolate mixture. Notice how it's
done in the illustration. Then place
in the refrigerator to harden. Be-
fore you go to the party, remove
from the refrigerator, tear of the
paper and fill your chocolate bits
crinkle cups with ice cream and re-
turn to the freezing tray. They're
ready to 60 to the table and you
have as pretty q dessert as you
could wish for at q minimum of
time and effort.

Now that it's spring, let's plan q
party. And, since 1t is leap year.
lets have q girl-ask-boy party.
Here's chance. girls. to repay some
OF those obligations long overdue
and at the same time get yourself
in the good graces of your special
boy friend.
First, of course, each girl invites
her favorite date, telling him she
will call for him at such-and-such
a time on the appointed evening.
Boys, here is a made-to-order OPP
portunity for you to get In your
innings. If she has been in the
habit of keeping you waiting, you
do the same to her. ALI the old
set rules of etiquette are cast aside
for this one evening. 1t Is up to
the girls to open doors, help remove
wraps, ask for the dances, provide
"corsage'' for their date and see
that each guest is escorted back to
his own doorstep at the end of the
party. OF course, he, being
gentleman, will turn around and
see that she Is taken safely home.

games you might plan progressive
dinner party; this automatically
takes care of most of the enter

lively small. say about six couples.
1t will be easier to handle and cause
less confusion getting the gang"
from one house to the next. A pro-
gressive party is less painful on the
pocketbook. too, since each hostess
is responsible for only one course
of the meal. Here is how you do
1t. At the first house serve cokes
and little canapes; this gives the
crowd a chance for some conversa-
ton and gets the party of to a
merry start. Then If the weather is
nice and the distance not too far,
you can build up an appetite by
walking to the next house. For the
main course you might serve spa

French bread. This type of food

that was used during the war. At
the close Of the war, the issuing
of this currency was cancelled.
Coins from the first crop turned
out by the United States mint,
which went into actual production
in 1893, are also in MIR. Weikert's
collection. The coins are half cent
and cent In copper. His samples
of United States paper money range
from bills produced In 1862, when
this currency was first issued, to
the last of the large paper bills,
discontinued in 1928.
When our Government was estab-
lished, Mr.. Weikert pointed out, 1t
was decided that no living per-
sons profile would ever be placed
on q coin. Exceptions to this rule
have been made in the case Of COM
memorative coins, however, with
Calvin Coolidge the first person so
honored at the time of the Phila-
delphia Sesquicentennial In 1926.
In all, Mr.. Weikert added, 118 COM
memorative coins have been issued,
which are bought up, for the most
part, by collectors. These coins
sometimes honor places and events,
too. The first commemorative coin
honored the Columbian Exposition,
held in Chicago in 1923.
Mr.. Weikert is regular contribu-
tor to THE Numismatist" and the
''Numismatic Scrapbook," both of
which have worldwide circulations.
He has also given series OF talks
on coins over the radio.

BIRTHDAY PARTY; .
FIXING BASEMENT?
COMMENT

(From Mrs. J. P. H., Arlingto1t.)
To the lady interested in giving
her 2-year-old a birthday party.
Recently / gave my 2-year-cld
daughter little birthday party, and
I will be glad to pass on a few
suggestions. First of all, make 1t
short, as they get cross and bored
so easily at that age. From 3 to
4::30 seems to be a good time as it
doesn't come too close to dinner
time and also gives the mothers
time to get home with Junior to
start supper. Since the children of
that age are too young for regular
party games, I put plastic cover
over the coffee table and gave each
some bubble liquid in little custard
dishes. You might try crayons and
paper or color books. A few toys
around for those not artistically in
clined. While you are serving ice
cream have one of the mothers give
each balloon. / had big bunch
over the table tied with strings to
in case of accidentsl. used a
low table and chairs to seat the chill
dren, plastic or paper dishes and
cups, and served small servings. A
small wrapped favor from the dime
store was at each place and a little
basket of candy. Be sure to have
enough bibs for the smaller ones.
You can serve small cups of milk,
fruit juice or gingerale.
would appreciate any sugges-
tions for fixing up q plain, bare
basement so as to use it for play
room on rainy days. It's warm ard
dry. but I need ideas we could do
ourselves at reasonable cost.
