Wounded “poilus" who occupy the
fourteen beds donated by Alaska rail
road towns to a war hospital at
N'cuilly, France, are very grateful to
the donors, according to a letter re
ceived by Mrs. Thomas Higgs, wife
of Alaska's governor, from a girl
friend who visited the hospital in
May.
Some of the beds have been named
after the towns which donated them.
The named ones are N'enana, Tal
keetna. Turnagaln Arm, Fairbanks,
Matanuska. Seward and Anchorage.
All these towns are on the railroad
the government is building between
Seward and Fairbanks
"In one of the Anchorage beds lay
ti wounded French artillerist who was
smoking bad cigarettes with infinite
pleasure and cracking jokes and mak
ing puns about the name of the town
in whose bed he lay," the letter says
"He asked me to tell you he was
very grateful fo Ills absent friends for
giving him such a comfortable re
covery.
"The poilus were very much inter
ested in the fact that Ncnana is the
newest town in North America, and
said it made them feel quite old In
comparison because they could not
imagine what it would be like to live
in a place where they could not think
back a hundred years.
"They were interested and amused
by my statement that American
women ride about over the snow In
dog sleds in Alaska, and some re
marked that it would bo much better
.than the mud in Flanders. One said
it would be tine, as all he would have
to do would be to unbuckle his arti
lieial limbs and leave them behind.
Toll your Nenana friends that this
grim humor Is (ho order of the day.”

PROPRIETY OF OVERALLS
FOR WOMEN APPROVED
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Sept.
Overalls tor women workers have
been officially approved by the city
council, which held u special session
to pass upon the propriety ol the use
ol these garments by women.
This la the home of a large furni
ture factory. When the army called
many men workers to the colors,
women took their places. The state
factory law prohibits the wearing of
loose clothing near machinery, and
overalls were adopted by women
workers. Their appearance on the
street going to and from their work
caused a protest to be illed with the
city council by the women leaders of
a reform organization. The protest
was published.
it was answered by mothers of
working gills, who held that the over
alls were more modest than the pre
vailing styles In women's dross seen
on the streets of this college town.
The male employes of the factory ral
lied to the cause of the "overall girls"
and the general superintendent issued
an open letter approving ol overalls
for women.
Finally Mayor Weaver called the
special session of the council. H was
attended by women workers and so
ciety women. After much discussion
the overalls were officially approved.
