ALBERT B. Cookus, u, Retires
After 44 Years as Star Printer
Impromptu Reception
Held as Veteran Ends
Final Seven-Hour Doy

An impromptu reception was held
in The Star composing room yester-
day for Albert B. Cookus, II, who
finished his final seven-hour day
after A years.
Cookie" broad -shouldered little
man, has retired and is going fish
ing in his native West Virginia and
plans to spend next winter in Flor
ida. His wife died 10 years ago. He
has no children.
At the assembly bank he read the
news going into the paper as it came
from the linotype machines. He
saw to it that the paragraphs of type
were placed in the proper order, that
the identifying slugs were removed
and that pied type (transposed lines
were corrected.
Mr.. Cookus worked on the elec-
Jion extra when Theodore Roose-
velt's overwhelming victory over AL
ton B. Parker was tabulated in No
vember, 1904. The sinkings of the
Titanic and the Lusitania, the
Notwithstanding shooting at Sarajevo,
the drive of the Kaiser's legions
across Belgium, Wilson's war mes
sage of April 6, 19l7-he worked on
them all.
But the extra edition that stood
out in his mind was the wreck on
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at
Terra Gotta, Nd, on December 80,
1906.
1t was Sunday night and he was
going home from church when
some one grabbed his coat tail and
told him he was wanted at The Star.
Mr.. Cookus learned the trade on
his uncle's country weekly at Shep-
ardstown, w. Va. Another uncle,
John Snyder, was in the composing
room at The Star and Mr.. Cookus
followed him there on March 10,
1902.
His fellow printers last night
pointed to the space in front Of the
assembly bank where Mr.. Cookus
