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

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.

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.''

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

:« 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.

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.
