YESTERDAY'S TEMPERATURE IN HARRISBURG Highest, 50; lowest, 36; 8 a. m., 37; 8 p. m., 42. , \ AIMED AT A MENACE TO SOCIETY Judge Kunkel and Judge McCarrell, in court last evening, taught an object lesson to criminals when both jurists declared they will not even consider leniency pleas hereafter when they are called upon to impose sentences on men who are convicted of attacking little girls. Mihalj Hanja, whose accuser was' a Steelton girl 13 years old, and Charles Schultzbaugh, convicted of assaulting a Dauphin girl of the sarfie age, each was sentenced to the penitentiary fdr a term of not less than four and not more than six years. Here tofore both judges had been imposing two to four year penitentiary terms in such cases, but when Hanja and Schultzbaugh came up for sentence the judges indicated they believe such "light"' sen tences are not regarded as sufficient warning to other criminals against attacking girls of tender years. Having that in mind the Coi.rt let it be known that by almost doubling the usual sentence the seriousness of the offense can be impressed on per sons of criminal tendencies and the ends of justice served. Nothing but satisfaction with the action of the court can be felt by all decent citizens interested in the protection of young girls from such menaces to society as men like Hanja and Schultzbaugh. f CO EDS AS COOKS AND WAITRESSES A news item from Muncie, Ind., says: Young men students in the co-educational Muncie Normal Institute arc watching with interest the experiment being conducted by the Domestic Science Department of I the school in which the young women Students of domestic science receive the privilege of operating one of the col lege boarding houses. If the young men are merely "watching with interest" they must be an unsentimental lot, un worthy of the services the fair ones are rendering them. If they are coldly regarding the arrange ment as a scientific experiment and if the arrange ment is all it is said to be they ought to be dis placed by human young men who would be able to appreciate in full the benefits of the charming meal time surroundings. It may be that the correspondent erred in his choice of words, and meant not that the young men are "watching with interest" but rather that they are "greeting with great enthusiasm" the innova tion of co-ed boarding house management. What young men students would not be favorably im px-essed to the point of fervor, by having their meals cooked by two co-eds, served by two others, and the whole supervised by a fifth, as is said to be the arrangement at Muncief In co-educational institutions the young men and young women may learn to know one another rather intimately in class rooms, before, during and after recitations. Yet the association is brief and the class room restrictions are unrelenting. At all events, young men can work up little interest in listening to young women translating tiresome Greek, compared with what they might arouse in watching the fair ones cooking and waiting on tables. In the former ease the studious fellows can take no part except to busy themselves the while in studying the succeeding passage in the expectant of a call from the professor; in the latter they can presumably carry on conversation of the kind known as "kidding," with the cooks and waitresses, and have much harmless fun. The correspondent did not say whether there is a prim instructress in domestic science at the Muncie \\• I z HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 25 v 1915. boarding house to direct the cooking: and at tfee same time watch the waitresses and keep the board ers out of the kitchen. He probably does not wanf to spoil his sprightly news story by introducing painful details, for the chances are that there is such an instructress,'' stiff with prudence,'' on at every meal. ABE FLOWERS CONSCIOUS? An International Flower Show held this week in New York City by the .Horticultural Society of New York and the New York Florists' Club at tracted a great deal of attention. Flowers, it seems, ase demanding more interest at present in this country than they have for several yeargf to some extent, because of women's fashions which require them to be worn with street and evening costume, not to mention the weakness of men fo* bouton iers. Landscape gardening has been increasing in popularity and extensive instruction in gardening has been arranged for children. A noticeable feature of present-day American horticulture is the endeavor among both amateurs and professionals to raise not only rare varieties of plants, but also freaks resulting from ingenious grafting operations. Lovers of flowers, who have the means to do so, have been importing specimens from other lands, and have been showing as much solicitude for their inanimate pets as lovers of fine {logs and horses have been showing for their favor ite animals. . It has of course been said, and proven to the sat isfaction of many keen scientists, that plants have consciousness like animals, and psychologically must be classed with the creatures/ M. Jean Viaud- Bruant says that he "cannot but think that the rose can see the beautiful woman who inhales its perfume," which is of course a beautiful French sentiment having no chance of finding a foundation on solid Yankee sense. Yet experiments showing that sensitive plants fold their leaves to exclude loud noises, and even die in an environment sueh as that of a boiler factory despite favorable light and food conditions, seem to prove beyond doubt that there exists in plants "a tine copy of what we know as consciousness in ourselves." Whether or not they have any of the five senses, the flowers which are about to bloom at this season in this climate will again bring their beauty and fragrance to delight the senses of human beings. No matter if they are not conscious of the looks of admiration or the words of enjoyment, they will command both at their appearance and they will be expected to give no audible response. It is coming close to the point where it will be shown who is master of Capitol HillV All of a sudden the highways problem has bobbed up again to harass the solong of the Legislature. Crow is quoted as for Brumbaugh for President. Pre sumably Crow would be satisfied with Brumbaugh anywhere but in the governor's chair. General Scott restored peace with the Piutes by buying their chiefs a square meal. May lie that is the sort of treatment some of the Mexican revolutionary leaders need. The wise speculator will begin to view with caution the sudden aggressive upturn of Stock Market prices. There may be a professional bull party concealed somewhere in the trenches.

THE GLOBE , THE GLOBE |Two Hits of the Week—] f ; Claire' Rochester Both Voted the Headliners Claire Rochester rp| j~|~p "Rochester-Special" Suits " The Friendly Store" THE GLOBE : ~ ~ THE GLOBE [Tongue-End Topics j Praise for Turkish Artillery Some curious facts are coming to< light regarding the Turkish expedition on Suez, through the reports of recon naisanee parties which have been scouring the sands in the rear of the retreaters. On the bodies of some dead Turks were found cartridge clips con taining dummy cartridges which held no powder. Probably corrupt contrac tors were responsible. All reports, however, agree that the Turkish artil lery was of excellent quality. More over, they took the utmost pains to get their guns away safely on their re treat. Not the slightest sign has been discovered to indicate that any of the artillery was buried or hidden before they turned back from the shores of the canal. In preparing the way for their big guns to descend finally from' the last range of hills, seven miles from the British front, it is stated that the Turks with great care and infinite method, trod and retrod and smoothed a path in the sand. The result pre sented a fairly hard, smooth surface, admirable for the purpose. Presumably the tramping-down of this road was the scries of movements which aviators and outposts reported as "aimless walking backward and forward in the sand.'' ( e o * War Exhibits in Berlin One of the most popular places in Berlin is the Royal Library where there are on exhibition the autographs of all the leading German figures of the pres ent war. Field Marshal von Hinden burg is but one of the men who have become popular idols through their achievements, and there is lively in terest in anything concerning them. The collection includes a letter from Hir.demfrurg to the war ministry a "God With Us" from the Kaiser; a "Carry It Out'' from the Crown Prince and the signatures of such men as von Kluck, von Ludeiulorff, von Morgen, von Mackensen, Havenst'eiu, Breiten bach, the imperial chancellor, the gen eral staff surgeon, von Schjerniug, Par seval and Count Zeppelin. The exposi tion includes telegraph instruments, air ships, automobiles mines and tele scopes, each bearing the autograph of its inventor. Each member of the I Krupp family, from the first one to the I inventor of the 42-centimeter gun, is | represented. * » * Football Where the Shells Break A sergeant of the British Army Service Corps wrote to London: "Our football ground is just be hind a church not far from the trench es, and twice we have had to fill in shell holes before we could start to play. At the last match the last shell the Germans fired came plumb on the center of the ground about ten min utes before we kicked off. One soon $. Household Economy 2 :« How to Hay« the Beat Cough s I Remedy and Save 92 by ? V Making It at Home j Cough medicines, as a rule contain a large quantity of plain syrup. A pint of granulated sugar with % pint of warm water, stirred, for 2 minutes, gives you as good syrup as money can buy. Then get from your druggist 2% ounces Pine* (50 cents worth), pour into a pint bottle and_ fill the bottle with sugar syrup. This sives you, at ar cost of only 54 cents, a fur! pint of really better cough syrup than you could buy readv made for a clear saving of nearly $2. Full direction* with Pinex. It keeps perfectly and tastes good. It takes hold of the usual cough or chest cold at once and conquers it in 24 hours. _ Splendid for whooping cough, bronchitis and winter coughs. It's truly astonishing how quickly it loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough and heals and soothes the inflamed mem branes in the case of a painful cough. It also stops the formation of phlegm in the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end ing the persistent loose cough. Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of genuine Norway pine extract, combined with guaiacol, and has been used for generations to heal inflamed membranes of the throat and chest. To avoid disappointment, ask your druggist for "2M> ounces of Pinex," and don t accept anything else. A guarantee of absolute satisfaction, or money nrompt il, "funded, goes with this preparation. The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, hid. forgets about shelling when the play starts. Our troops here call this a rag time war, and they are about right, I think, because Tommy takes every thing as it comes —football or shooting. It's all one to him." • * * Odd Experience of German Doll After being shipped from the little town of Gera, German, clear across the Atlantic to Cincinnati and then back again, a gayly dressed' little doll that was manufactured in the German village has come, through a belated "Christmas celebration," into the possession of one of the children of a doll maker. The doll was included in a big shipment of Christmas gifts from German-Americans in the United States to poor children here. In unpacking the case, one woman, a native of Gera, was struck by the familiar look of the doll, which bore the inscription, "Made, in Germany." Investigation showed it to • have been manufactured in the town to which it had been shipped back from Cincinnati as a gift. * « * Work for Belgians in England Arrangements are being made to re-j eeive in England large additional num ber of Belgian refugees from Holland. Within the next few w v eeks several thousands are expected. Many of the newcomers will be self-supporting, and j others partly so, as the activity in cer- j tain trades in England will make it easy for them to find employment. The work of drafting the refugees from the Government clearing houses in London j to various parts of the country is now j going forward under a new scheme! whereby payment is made by England I for their board' and lodging. Several thousand male refugees who have been in this country for some time are ex pected to return to the Continent as the result of the order of the Belgian government calling to the colors all citizens between the ages of 18 and 25. Large numbers of Belgians have come to this country and Holland for the ex press purpose of joining the army. JITNEY REGULATION PASSES i Senate Indorse Bill to Let Councils Con trol Bus Lines Senator Patton's bill giving the Coun cils of Philadelphia ami other cities full control of the operation of jitneys, yes terday was passed finally by tihe Sen ate.
