Treasure on Cocos Island

s12,O0O,OO0. Bonito escaped with
it and took it to Cocos Island to
bury it. Then he began to cruise
about the sea again, planning to
return to Cocos when he wanted
to take his treasure, or some part
of it, to another place.
"In 1921 Bonito's pirate ship was
attacked by a British warship, and
Bonito was killed. His treasure
was left on Cocos Island, and only
two men knew where it had been
buried"
That is only one form of the tale.
In one of the other accounts, we
are told of a chart which Bonito
gave to a woman friend. The chart
is supposed to have shown where
the treasure could be found.
If such tales make you feel
tempted to go to Cocos Island to
"get rich" wait until you read what
shall say tomorrow about people
who have tried to do that.

Let's Learn a New Word.

IDEOLOGY is a word that is seen
frequently these days in editorials
and concentrations about the great
social and economic revolution that
has changed so much of the map OF
Europe We see it thus: Accord
ing to Nazi theology, Germany must
take It's rightful place as the master
of European destiny -.
The word means "a scheme OF
things about life" Hence, Nazi
theology refers to the doctrine that
motivates Germany in seeking
mastery over most of the Eastern
Hemisphere. On the other hand,
American theology is based on the

CULINARY is the surprise word of

knowledge sanctions the commonly
heard "CULL-inary,' the first syl-

If we divide the word into syl-

the word in a different light. "Ah!'
