A1TKOYES OVERALLS FOB THE
WOMEN WHO YUri WORKING.
BLOOMINGTON, I NO. Sept., 5—
Overalls for women workers have
been officially approved by the city
council which held a special session
to pass upon the propriety of the use
ot* these garments by women.
This is the home of a large furnit
ure factory. YVhen the army called
many men workers to the colors, wo
men took their places. The state fac
tory law prohibits the wearing ot
loose clothing near machinery and
overalls were adopted by women work
-ers. Their appearence on the street
going to and from their work caused
a protest to be filed with the city conn ,
-cil by the women leaders of a reform
organization. The protest was pub
lished.
it was answered by mothers or
working girls who held that the over
ad.'* were more modest than the pre
vailing styles in women’s dress to be
seen on the streets of this college
town. The male employes of the fact
ory rallied to the cause of the “over
all girls” ami the general supeiinten
dent issued an open letter approving
of overalls for women.
Finally Mayor Wever called the spec
-ial session of the council. It was at
tended by women workers and socie
ty women. After much discussion the
overalls wore officially approved.

MILK IS A NEW RECIPE.
LONDON, Sept., 5— Ice cream,
made without miik, cream or Sugar t»»
comply with government regulations,
has been all the rage during the sum
mer at the soda fountains of London.
The recipe was concieved by an Am
erican, Charles H. Boeglin, of New
York City, soon after the British gov
ernment prohibited early this year the
use of milk products or sugar in the
manufacture of »ce cream.
Here’s the way the mock ice cream
is made: For a gallon of the ice, two
pounds of glucose or four p'h.'uls of
honey. If honey is used it siiunl be
boiled down in a quart of water, and
before being poured into the freezer
should be allowed to cool for three or
four minutes. Then add the white of
one egg and any flavor desired, and
freezes. Fresh fruit adds considerably
to the flavor of the ice which really
lasts like ice cream.
In London, where even in summer
eggs have been worth about ten cents
each, the ice manufacturers use the
powered egg albumen instead of eggs.
