Baked Alaska
a Fraud!

Baked Alaska always has been
considered by the amateur to be
one of the great culinary mysteries
and accomplished by only the
most professional chefs. But you
can make it yourself with ease
and if you put on enough dog dur
ing the process, your guests will
be completely awestruck and i'm
pressed.
Get 112 quarts brick ice cream
In any flavor you like and have it
packed especially well to keep as
hard as possible. Chats the main
secret. 1t must literally be a brickD
Cut slice of sponge cake half an
inch thick - it must be large
enough to stick out one inch all
the way around under your ice
cream brick.
Cover your meat plank-if you
don't own one, q small bread
board will do-with q sheet Of
heavy waxed paper and put the
slice of cake in the middle of It,.
Now is the time to light your oven,
setting the dial to $50 degrees.
While the oven is heating, make
your meringue by beating the
whites of eggs with a pinch of
salt in a chilled bowl. While beat
ing, add little by little 6 table,
spoons of powdered sugar and
about u teaspoon Of vanilla.
Here's where you begin to show
off - and you'll have to work
plenty fast.
Unmold' your brick square in the
center of your slice of sponge cake
and spread the meringue all over
both cream and cake with a spat-
ula. Slide it into the oven, which
now has reached the desired tenn
perature. At the end of two min
utes just peep at it, being careful
not to really open the door much.
AS soon as the meringue is
Drowned nicely, slide the Alaska
off the paper onto the platter
and VOLTA! The chef has produced
a masterpiece to the intense ad-
miration of his guests.

tifully with baked Alaska, no mat

have selected.

fruit at this point there's a
generous supply in the markets
from the bountiful 1918 pack.
Lettuce is another item which
is showing considerable damage
from the freeze; the quality is
poor and the price high. There's
a temporary shortage of white
and yellow squash, but dealers ex-
pect plentiful supplies of both
within the next few weeks. The
weather has simply slowed up the
crop. Cauliflowers is running in
the high brackets, with green
beans about average for the sea-
son. Eggplant. kale. collards. tur-

of biscuit mix are legion, but
here is a dandy new one you may

Food Editor.

The Bureau of Advertising,
which is a non profit organization
acting as liaison between adver-
tisers and advertising agencies and
the daily newspapers of the United
States and Canada, has just sent
me their analysis on Reader In
terest in Food News" We've al
ways felt that women readers OF
the newspapers were particularly
interested in food news and this
report confirms 1t. The war made
food front-page news when the
women all over the country were
vitally concerned with shortages,
rationing, OPA, and rising prices.
Since many Of these problems are
still with us. food news Is still
important. The Continuing Study
examined 125 individual newspa-
pers, an undertaking embracing
10000 field interviews. One paper
studied showed a food story scored
first! A two-column feature on
cream cheese in salads, though 1t
ran on an inside page. attracted
81 per cent of the women readers
against a "A per cent tie for a
page / story on Eisenhower. Pic
lures with appetite appeal drew
more readers than pictures in
which food was presented without
much eye to visual attraction.
Well-known dishes rated over
those which are relatively un-
familiar. Timeliness. close-ups and
the position of recipe In relation
to picture were other techniques
which were found to rouse inter-
est and earn a high leadership.
1t was real satisfaction to read
an analysis of this kind and, learn
that food news still rates so high
with the majority of women read
ers. Here the figures were set
down in black and white to prove
1t.
The varied weather conditions
in different parts of the country
are still taking their toll of the
fruit and vegetable crop. Citrus
fruit is one crop severely affected
by the January storms. There's a
scarcity of Texas grapefruit while
the Florida is at its very best now
and likewise very reasonable in
price. Florida Valencias will start
coming in this week.-Mrs. Is the
variety of orange you'll be using
on through August. It might be

Because of shortage Of dollars,

Many United States products are

A dollar now goes a long way

the dollar brought 4 pesos and 85
centavos. Recently the peso was
devalued, so that today the rate
is pegged officially at 8:65 to the

Daguerre Camera,

and became the owner of one of
the first Daguerre cameras sold
in the United States. Four days
later he took a picture Of Kings
Chapel burying ground In Boston.
It took Is minutes to solarize the
metal plate and 40 minutes for
the exposure in the camera, but
he got the picture.
Both camera and picture will
be displayed in the Photographic
museum of-George Eastman House
In Rochester. N. Y. when it opens
In q few months. With the cum
bersome wooden box camera will
be related apparatus such as the
mercury bath, In which daguer-
reotypes were developed, an al
cohol lamp. an idodizing box and
some OF the copper 6h by 8h

of sale signed by Francois Gou-
raud. Daguerre's agent In the
United States.
According to Beaumont New,

The graveyard picture is the old

Boston and the third oldest in

Houses with different size open
ings will attract different kinds
of birds to provide variety for
your camera.
The bird houses should be
placed safe from marauding cats
which still are the birds worst
enemy. The same advice holds
true in the placement of the feed
ing stations. The best location is
out in the open on a pole with
no overhanging limbs.
b Squirrels are another pest to
the bird photographer. They can
gobble up q days ration for your
birds in no time. So this is an
other reason to keep your feeder
away from trees. Squirrels also
can skin up a pole like q flight
of steps and it will help to have

Camera Angles
Bird Photography Has Exacting Demands
by Alexander J. Wedderburn
Cvroter Of Photography
Ths Sr,ithxaniun Institution


A few weeks back we suggested
that you take your Gamers for a
trip through the countryside to
shoot pictures Of wildlife in its
natural state. II this was too
rugged . program. you can have
q try at it anyway-right in your
own backyard or on your window
sill. Make q series of bird pic
lures. It isn't as easy as 1t sounds
for even our domesticated birds
are wary and suspicious custom
ers but a good collection Of bird
pictures will mark you as a compe-
tent photographer in any set OF
camera fans.
Bird photography is one job
that calls for . good fast camera
with q speedy lens. Any box
camera addict who can shoot good
bird pictures is . rarity. In the
first place birds are usually IN
constant motion, hopping from
place to place and constantly
twisting their heads or suddenly
flying off at just about the time
you are ready to make your ex-
posure.
The proper rendition Of detail
in the feathers is just about as
important as stopping motion and
cameras with the poorer lenses
will not perform satisfactorily In
this respect. If you are fortunate
enough to own a camera with q
super-speed shutter and lens, bird
photography should be right up
your alley. The camera fan who
can shoot a perfect bird picture
will get the same thrill as the
rifeman who can place his shots
in the center of the target. Neither
job is easy and each requires good
workmanship as we'll as preci-
sion instrument.
Birds Have Habits.
Birds have a definite purpose in
being where they are found. When
you see birds, time after time, IN
the same immediate area. you can
be sure that they are either find
ing some kind of food or possibly
water. Or it. may be that they
have or are building a nest nearby.
Or choice bits of nest building
material may be in that area.
II you decide to keep q pictorial
record of the birds in your neigh
borhood, you must do something
to keep them around at all times.
If you live in, house. the best
procedure is to establish Q feed
ing station. That will bring them
in focks and provide you with a
steady flow of subject matter.
Bird houses are another good lure
for the home owner. They may
be placed at convenient levels in
