KELLY ANNOYED BY .BAR7LET1'S SILENCE
Receives No Answer to Letter on
 Board of Control

Martin J. Kelly, sponsor of q 0oEement 10 have q board created 0 ill the position formerly occupied ry the town meeting and later by the city meeting board, has written Councilman Donald l.. Bartlett ask ing why he has failed to make an sWrr 10 the question as to where he stands on such an agency.
 Kelly wrote both candidates for mayor two weeks ago. He received q reply from the democratic nom- lnee, A. NJ. Paonessa in which the candidate expressed sympathy with the idea and declared in favor Of an additional check on city eXpendi- lures.
 The letter sent by Kelly 10 Bart lett reads:
 MT. D. l.. Bartlett
 ".12 Lincoln Street
 New Britain. Conn.
 Dear Sir: For some unknown reason you have failed to reply to my communication. March 21. As this may be Of vital importance to the success Of the business of our city government and you have failed to investigate the matter and what could be done about it. The com mon council committee investigat- ing one branch Of our government discovered different ways in which the city is losing money in it's busi- hess.
 Evidently you are satisfied with the present system of wastefulncss and inefficiency in the expenditure of the peoples money. What is your proposition? If you could throw a golden ray of sunshine across the threshold of these bluest days, the wives and babies Of our taxpayers may ever see. wouldn't il be worth whileo
 'Why is it that you. the friend of humanity. are influenced for some unknown reason to ignore the wishes of the people that they should govern themselves.
 'Y our assistance will be deeply appreciated.
 " ours very truly.

OHIO POLITICS IS . STILL IN MUDDLE
Hoover Now Is Fitted Against
 the Field

Columb bus. O.. April I lR-The re- publican presidential fight in Ohio today found Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover pitted against the field owing to the death of Senator Frank B. Willis and action taken by his candidates for delegates to the Kansas City convention.
 Not only will the former Willis delegates. if elected. throw their support in the convention to their second choice lodges, former Gov ernor Frank 0. Lowden of Illinois, and Senator Charles Curtis of Kan sas, but if opportunity presents, they will throw their influence and sup port to President Coolidge, Vice President Dawes and Charles Evans Hughes, the presidential nominee in 1916.
 Tn other words, the Willis dele gation, if elected, will be as nearly an uninstructed delegation as could be selected under the Ohio law" q statement issued by the delegate candidates after considering the matter five hours last night said.
 We will go to the convention. aside from the commitments as in select the best available candidates for president and vice president to lead our party to victory in Novem- ber." ..
 Managers of Hoover headquarters accepted the challenge immediately, Hoover campaign, issuing this state ment today: At this late hour, all can say is that the campaign for delegates pledged to Secretary Hoo- ever will go forward with unabated energy"
 Former Governor LoWden, the sec ond choice pledge of thirty-four del- egate candidates, will receive the hearty and sincere support from a majority of us" the statement said. while it declared Senator Curtis worthy of our careful considera- tion.''
 Some of the delegates. it contin- ued, would make Charles Evans Hughes their choice, should he per init his name to be considered by the convention.
 In Vice President Dawes, however, the delegates found common ground for support should his name be placed before the convention.
 With respect to President Coolidge the delegates recognized his ex- pressed desire not to be a candidate, also the sentiment in the state for him and declared the Ohio delega- tion "should be free to act in har- mony with that sentiment, if events should make his nomination appear expedient and acceptable to him."
 The delegates indicated that they expect their friends to vote for Sen ator Willis, whose name will appear on the preferential ballot along with

SWEET DISHES
ELURE CHINESE
By JOHN GOETTE
International News Service

PEKING, Jan. 19.-Instinctively
the Chinese people are not given to
eating sweet foods. However, with
the foreign influx they are more
and more turning to Western can
dies and sweet dishes. In the Ola
days, and even today in the more
remote country districts, the use Oh
sugar was very restricted.
A Chinese meal served according
TO strict standards opens with a
number of cold dishes on the table,
among which are candied peanuts
and walnuts and sugar dates.
Again, in the middle of the repast,
there is served a dish of hot can
died sweet potatoes or yams.
To prepare this dish Of sweetened
vans, the Chinese cook peels the
vans and then cuts them in dag
0nal pieces. which are fried to light
brown in lard and then drained:
One cup Of water and one cup of
sugar are cooked until it meets the
hard ball test. That is poured over
the vans and stirred until evenly
coated. Sweet potatoes are pre-
barred the same way.
Orange soup is faVorlte IN,
Picking, =, The Chinese cook takes
the pulp Of six oranges, which Is.
added to three quarts OF boiling
water in which is dissolved one
nuarter pound Of rock sugar and
one tablespoonful Of starch, more
or less, as is needed to give desired
thickness. The recipe is frequently
used with grapes instead OF oranges
