BRITISH HOT DOGS PUT ON OVERCOATS

LONDON (P)—With the arrival of Jack Frost and the football season the American "hot dog" has donned his winter overcoat. It is a flimsy covering of glass paper intended to protect the sausage from germs and other bothersome things. But the football spectators did not appreciate this fact at first. When the first lot was handed out at the playing fields the fans, all in overcoats themselves, took it for granted that the little red-skinned edibles had been given extra covering and special doses of red pepper so as to aid in keeping the "hot dogs" hot inside. New health department rules make food jackets compulsory. The hot dog was introduced in London last winter, and is now sold by hundreds of thousands at all the outdoor sporting events.
