THE COOKIE BOX Indianapolis News)

She had always wanted a box to keep cookies ina good big airtigh box-but had never owned one That is one of the queer things about She will spend money Iavishly on things and long for some trfe all her life One who loved her had taught her to make cookies at the mature age of F years and she had gone right on baking them through all the that followed
 In her own home made cookies for the children who came to play with her own family. The children grew to high school age but they didn't outgrow the cookies Even the added dignity of growing into college students didn't seem to affect their cookie appetite Sometimes when they just happened n she asked they could pos siby wait until she stirred up batch of cookies and baked them and there record of occasion when they could not wait It wasn't any hardship to bake cookies for such an appreciave bunch What fun they always had trying them hot from the oven and trying to see who could eat the greatest number and getting up debates question of why the raisn stayed hot longer than the cookie
 itself! Oh! but those were happy times when just plain everyday cookies baked by everyday woman, could comfort homesek girls and boys heal headaches caused by terrible exams and heartaches caused by failures. If mere cookies could bring back laughter to their dear young faces. how glad she to make them! When her boys and girls promoted from college into real life they scattered far and wide. Maybe they think of her sometmes-of her and the cookes-bu the old hap py careree crowd will wait together again while she hurries the big pans in and out of the And just this week the very who loved her long ago. and taught her to make cookies, gave her cookie box! She wondered why had it last, after all the years of wanting it-and then she knew. In the old days the cookies vanished and until has she really needed a place keep them.

BUT WHY NOT {?

A man came in last evening and said that he had been at the court house and had heard for the first time in his long life jury recommend ing that the man they had found guilty, be given the limit of the law.
 While this recommendation may be unusual, and all that, yet we often hear of a jury recom- mendng leniency, and we think nothing of it.. If it is proper to recommend leniency why isn't it proper to recommend severity?
 jury will recommend leniency when in the minds of the iurymen the punishment imposed by the law is too severe for the offense; but like in yesterdays case, the law is too easy and the jury did remarkably well to recommend the limit. The pity of it is that the jury could not add to that law That jury was evidently composed of men with well developed sense of decency and the courage of their conviction. How much bet ter the world would be if we had more of them is question that every lawabiding citizen can readily answer.

JUST WASTING TIME.

Have we any idea of the extent of the Alaska coast line? The shores of the territory are washed by three great oceans, namely, the Are tic, the Boring sea and the Pacific. The Aleu- tian Islands, off the Alaskan Peninsula are sep arated from each other from the mainland by a network of rocky straits, and much of the south western and southeastern Alaska coast line, is made up of mountainous islands that have rocks of all shapes and sizes. Those islands are really the tops of mountains lost in waters and stand ready to rip open the hulls of ships as the iceberg ripped the Titanic.
 The extent of the Alaska coast line with it's windngs, surpasses that of the United States proper All told it is more than 26,000 miles long and has more dangers than any other coast line on earth. Nevertheless, according to Dr. Lester Jones, in charge of the bureau of survey at Washington, only nine per cent of this line has been surveyed. Yet congress is fighting and wasting valuable time in an endeavor to discover the leak in the peace note. Really, it looks to us as though our lawmakers only ambition is to make noise.

Seattle has always been fond of advertising itself; but along that line it had never gone the limit until today. It has reached the top now and should be satisfied quit and be good If it should decide to do the latter, what change 1t would make. When Seattle had saloons, the offi- cers were too busy to look behind the curtains, as it were they worked in the open; but with the saloons out of the way they are digging in and are finding things unpleasant to advertise. But those people are so fond of advertising that they don't know when to quit.

SCIENCE TO WIN WAR,
SAYS SECRETARY BAKER
Combustion Engine May Be De-
cisiVe Factor, He Believes.

That the people who can bring to
bear the great advantage OF science
will be the ones who will win the
war, was the opinion expressed by
Secretary of War Baker at the clos
ing banquet OF the Society OF Auto
motive Engineers, last night at the
willard
This war is to be won by people
who are the most subtle, ingenious,
and scientific, and when the enemy
is vanquished II will be because we
possess these qualities" was his
statement to the 700 members of the
society.
This war challenges the men who
have planned and developed the in
ternal combustion engine which, In
my opinion, will be one Of the de-
cisive factors in this great war" the
Secretary said

of the Council OF National Defense,
