NEW KIND OF CREAM.

H
London,-Ice cream, made w1thou1
milk, cream or sugar to comply with
government regulations has been all
the rage this summer at soda foun-
tains OF London. The recipe was con
ceived by an American, Charles II.
Boeglirl, of New York City, soon after
the British government prohibited
early this year the use of milk pro-
ducts or sugar in the manufacture OF
ice cream.
Here's the way the mock ice cream
is made. For gallon of the ice,
two pounds of glucose or four pounds
of honey. If honey is used it should
be boiled down in quart Of water.
and before being poured into the freez-
err should be allowed to cool for three
or four minutes. Then add the white
of one egg and any flavor desired,
and freeze. Fresh fruit adds cOnsid-
erab1y to the flavor of the ice which
really tastes like ice cream.

To The Teachers

The State Teachers Association will
meet in Little Rock on April 1, 5 and
6. Last year we won the cup given by
Governor Brough for the county having
the largest enrolment. If we win this
cup for two more years We keep it
permanently.
We believe this year that We
will have a full enrolment from our
county. Think of it A one hundred
per cent. enrolment would break all
records. Let's do it. The indications
also are that at least ninety per cent.
of our teachers will attend this great
meeting.
Without any doubt this will be the
greatest meeting every held IN the
state. Five thousand teachers are eX-
pected to attend This il an oppor-
tunity to attend. visit a city which has
one of the largest environments. and an
excursion is being planned to Camp
Pike.
As progressive teacher you cannot
afford to miss this meeting As loyal
citizen you do not expect to miss It.
The enrolment fee is one dollar and
by adding sixty cents you get the Ark
ansas Teacher for one year. Enroll
now. Write now for hotel reservations.
Chicot County headquarters will be the
Marion hotel.
| shall be disappointed if do not see
you at headquarters. Don't fail to at

to allow you the time for the meeting,

Hawaiian Musical Instru-
mentS
ments

Much of the beauty of the Hawaiian
music is due to the native instrument,
the ukelele pronounced ookoo-lay-l lay
In appearance it is miniature guitar.
but has only four strings and is played
with a swinging motion from side to
side This method of playing the in
strument gives it its name, we are told,
ukelele meaning bouncing flea. The
genuine Hawaiian made instrument is
made from Koa or kou wood, which
adds to its tone quality. This wood is
becoming very scarce and is hardly OBJ
tainable. The ukeleles made in the
States are manufactured by guitar
manufac turers from our native woods.
We can't all visit Hawaiia, but our
lyceum course committee has made it
possible for us to hear and see these
unique instruments. Nierra's Royal
Hawaiians will appear here Friday
night. March Sth. as the last number
on lyceum course this season.
