The modern mistress Of the
kitchen isn't going to spend the
time keeping the cookie jar filled
that her grandmother did. Never
theless the cookies may be quite
as good-pr perhaps better-con-
sidering all the good things she
has to make things with in these
days.
Fortunately cookies can be made
without benefit of rolling pin by
dropping the dough from a spoon,
or by forming it into rolls, chill
ing and slicing 1t, or by spreading
batter over the pans and cutting
1t after it is baked. These three
methods make it possible to bake
quite a large ba.ch of delicious
cookies in a half-hour, or even
less.
JELLY DELIGHTS
Beat one egg and one cup of
sugar together until light. Flavor
with vanilla, lemon, or almond.
Gradually add 2h cups of sifted
pastry flour. Then knead in 4
pound of cold shortening until the
dough Is well blended. Form into
rolls or 'sausages" about inches
in diameter, and set In the icebox
for several hours. Then slice with
a sharp knife in thin slices and
bake on creased pans in mod.
crate oven until a light brown.
Just before serving spread the un-
der sides with jelly and put two
and two together.
ICEBOX COOKIES
One and one.half cups shorten
ing. cup brown sugar, l cup
granulated sugar, eggs. 1 tea
spoon cinnamon, II teaspoon salt,
AZ cups flour, Ia teaspoons soda,
/ cup nut-meats
Cream the shortening thor
oughly. add the sugar gradually,
then the beaten eggs. Mix well.

So he had the happy inspiration to

Three-Year- Old Tragedy to Be Investigated in
 Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 15.- District Attorney Fits is arrang- ing to find criminal responsibility for the death of one man and the serious injury to four others in filming the picture old Ironsides," nearly three years ago.
 Charles Davis Ishman was killed and Harry Broyles, Brick Johnson, Ernest Olson and Charles Carlson were injured by a dynamite blast in June, 1926. A dummy mast had been cut in such a way as to hurl the men to safety but when it was blasted, it fell in the opposite di- rection dashing them to the sea rocks.
 The circumstances were investi- gated but dropped by Asa Reyes, then District Attorney, who held there was no responsibility.
 James Cruz, Director, said he would welcome the investigation. The case has been in the Damage Courts.

TALKIES MADE SMASH HIT AT

Record Crowd Attended First Sound Program
 in Alaska at Gross's

With the opening all talkie program at :ile Coliseum Theatre last night, Juneau was introduced to class of entertainment entirely new to Alaska. w. D. Gross se- lected splendid, 100 per cent talk ie program for his first show fol- lowing the expensive installation of Movietone and Vitaphone equip ment in his theatre It was, in Broadwayese, a swell show, from the opening speech by Will Hayes to the final shriek of the thrilling mystery drama, "The Terror"
 "The Terror" the all-talkie fea- ture picture, is mystery as thrill ing and mystifying as The Cat and The Canary" or "The Bat" which are perhaps, the two most highly praised mystery plays of recent years, and the audience reacted with squeals and gasps to the tense moments and sexciting cli- maXes of the play. The picture holds the interest from the moment it opens until the discovery of the Terror" and the solution of the mystery at the end. end is just srf- ficiently frightened with excellent comedy to maxe the excitement pleasant.
 May McAvoy's realistic screams are one of the features of the pie ture.
 The setting of the play is in an old English Tavern, which had pre- viously been an abbey, and it is replete with secret passages, cob webby, unused rooms, candle light, and a mysterious hidden organ, which help form the eery atmos- pllere for the exciting events. The Tavern is run by an old doctor played by Alec B. Francis, and his daughter, taken by May Mo Avoy, and is supposed to hide gold, footed from a bank ten years pre- viously and the looter, maniac who commits atrocious crimes, and has the police and Scotland Yard baffled.
 The characters are ex-convicts, a spiritualistic lady who adores se- ances, perfectly acted by Louise Fazenda; a stray, rhyme-loving golfer who pops in, which gave Edward Everett Horton an oppor- tunity to show his rare talent as character player; middle-aged, hard of hearing man. to whom the doctor is in debt, and to whom his daughter is engaged, policemen and

butler, who couldn't be improved upon.
 Preceding the feature picture was an opening talk by Will Hayes on the tremendous advance of the talking pictures over the earlier silent drama and the great effect it will have on the lives of people the country over. Will Hayes talk was followed by an interesting Movietone news reel, which began with a number of scenes of the current rebellion in Mexico, had an interview with Jack Dempsey con- cerning his entrance into fight pro- motions and among other things some splendid shots of West Point and the parade ground with the Cadets drilling in dress uniform.

 A record crowd in Juneau turned out for the Talkie opening and it is estimated that over a thousand attended the two shows last night, The same show will be on tonight, Thursday night and Friday night.
 Everything went off without a hitch and those who are accustom- ed to seeing and hearing the talkies in the States will be pleased by having entertainment in Juneau which could not be surpassed in any "talkie' theatre in the large cities.

Corpus Juris is also quoted to the effect that it has been held that Territories have no right to pass any such laws.
 Is Not Impaired
 In conclusion, the Attorney Gen. eral said:
 Tn face of these authorities, and especially of the statement, though obiter, of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, in Alaska Consol- idated Canneries vs. the Territory of Alaska, above quoted this office could not hold that the Territorial Legislature has authority to pass any act impairing the obligation of contracts. And even if that were not so, the Act of 1929 does not necessarily impel the conclusion that it was the intent of the Legis- lature to give 1t any retroactive eff feet. Whether the Legislature may pass acts impairing the obligation of a contract no court would hold that it did so unless such intent was so clearly expressed that no other construction could be given to the Act.
 "It is the opinion of this office that the Act in question does not impair any contract entered into prior to the 22nd day of April, 1929, the date when the Act was approved"
