ating this season, due to currailed
transportation facilities, labor short

ed in the list of bonds filed Cor the

London Eating Houses Have Poor
Food and Worse Prices

London, Sept. s.-A reporter fol
a London newspaper who considers
himself an epicure has just finished
an extensive study Of London res
taurants and reached the conclusion
that English restaurant cooking mas
degenerated to an extent almost un'
believable.
He complained that he could not
find a good old fashioned English
steak, that a juicy mutton chop with
a piece of kidney attached was d1ff1
cult to obtain, that the pastry OF th'
meat pies the Englishman loves Sc
well no longer is light and fluffy anc
that the omnipresent jellies lacked
their old-time taste.

AFTER SINN FEM COURTS
Irish Crime Bill Now Permits Trial

Associated Pre-

ASSOCIATED PreesD
Dublin, Sept. 8.-One important
provision of the Irish Crimes Dill
which was put into effect this month
is that which gives power to try
civil actions without jury. 1t Is
intended to make short work OF the
activities Of the Slim Fein Courts
which have revolutiofized legal bus
mess, and largely reduced the Irish
Bar to idleness.
The proceedings in criminal mat
tiers of Sim Fein Courts are already
being dealt with by the police. When
the Sim Feiners arrest a man on a
charge of theft or burglary or any
thing else police treat the Sim Fein-
ers' action as a breach Of the liberty
of the subject who should be only
triable by lawful court. The Sim
Feiners are prosecuted for assault,
tried by court martial and sentenced
to long terms Of imprisonment.
