Recent criticism that soldiers
"get off too easy" when brought
before the local Police Court
judges was regarded by court at
taches as effectively answered to-
day with the receipt of two let
ters from military authorities by
Judge Isaac R. Hit, informing
him of the disposition of two
cases which he had turned over
to Army authorities.
Jail Terms Asked
The critics Of the court had
urged that the practice of return
ing soldiers to the military au-
thorities for punishment be dis
continued, asking that the local
court send them to Jail.
One of the cases reported to
Judge Hit was that of William
H. Fox, of Fort Washington, Md,
was was arrested recently for driv-
ing while drunk. The report said
that the court-martial sentenced
Fox to six months at hard labor

To BLOCK
RAILWAY LOSS

ANNAPOLIS, March 6.-Offi-
cials of this city and members
of the Chamber of Commerce to-
day are attempting to ascertain
the future Of the State capital
should the Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis railroad be
scrapped.
George Weems Williams, re-
ceiver for the road, started the
pOndering yesterday when he pre-
dicted that within a few years
the road should be abandoned.
This would leave the State
capital entirely without rail
transportation. Annapolis would
then have to depend upon water
transportation and bus line
which runs to Washington.
The railroad, already in the
hands of a receiver, will be bene-
fitted by a bill introduced in the
State senate which will exempt

on the reservation, whereas the
usual sentence in Police Court for
this offense Is only go days.
Marine Loses Money
The other case was a driving
while e-drunk charge against Sergt.
Willard Brown, a marine sta
toned at Indian Head, Md. The
punishment meted out in this
case, according to the letter, was
payment of the damages to the
car with which the marines car
collided, amounting to Sis, and
a reduction in pay Of $14 during
the rest of his enlistment.
In view of the punishment
meted out in these two cases, court
officials said that they believe
much heavier penalties are meted
out by the military authorities
than could be imposed in local
courts and that, therefore, criti-
cism of the local court is unwar-
ranted.

SUGAR IMPROVES
FLAVOR OF MEAT
AND VEGETABLES
Try a Dash of Sugar to a Pinch
of Salt

Cooks who are successful in the
art Of making vegetables appetizing
depend upon two rules: First, cook
raw vegetables in as little water
as possible. Canned vegetables
should not be merely
heated thoroughly. Second, season
with sugar as well as salt.
Salt, by itself, merely overcomes
fatness. Sugar, however, brings
out the flavor of the vegetable. And
when the two are combined an un-
usually appetizing goodness is devel-
oped. A dash of sugar to pinch
Of salt is a good rule to follow.
The more one experiments with
sugar and salt in seasoning string
beans, cabbage, spinach, peas, car
rots and other vegetables, the more
apparent is the flavor value Of this
combination. Doctors and dietitians
approve this use of sugar as flavor.
Most foods are more delicious with
sugar. The Sugar Institute.

time.
 The two Lippys were among the first very fortunate ones on the Klondike creeks. In the sum- mer of 1899 they had already made a trip to the mint in San Francisco with a load of gold and were re- turning by rail to Seattle when this writer sat near them for two days on the trail. Here, first-hand I heard an account of their won derful adventures in the north, tho all were told with becoming modesty. AS I was then on my way to the Klondike, it may pro- perly be assumed that my interest in what I heard was not slight.
 The three men, Carmack, Hen derson and Lippy, were very diff ferent in many respects, but the love of adventure, discovery and mystery was prominent in their makeup and brought them from poverty in far-away states to a wondrous success in the northern gold fields.
 From the time I left Seattle I had adventure a-plenty, and what I lacked, those around me sup piled. Upon reaching the Klon- dike, to this were added novelty and discovery IT not discovery of the precious metal, but discovery of the riches and poverty of Hu- man Nature among these hun dreds of milling, struggling hu- mans, fighting to the death at times for supremacy and first-rank among the gold claims.
 Then the officials. Two propo- sitions opened up like this: The first one-an American proSpector goes out to the creeks, finds ground not staked, makes a discovery and decides to record it in town. He goes to the recorders office and relates his experience, describes the ground and wants to record He is told by the clerk to come back next week; he is too busy just then In the meantime, men are sent by this office to look at the ground; they find it promising, locate it for officials or themselves and record it on the books. When our prospector comes into the of flee at the time appointed he is told that the ground was already taken and recorded. He has no chance
 This was common usage.
 Again, in 1898, number of men built first-rate log cabins along the Klondike just above the mouth of the river. When finished. and the owners had moved into them. The mounted police ordered them off, and the cabins, built at great expense and labor, torn down. From this order there was no eS- caping-it was obeyed Needless to say, same, if not all, these cabin builders were Americans,

 In accordance with plans for ex- tending air service throughout southwestern and interior Alaska, the Pacific International Airways will station one of their new seven- place Fairchild monoplanes at Val- deg which will be used to carry pas sengers, mail and freight to all parts of the interior.
