Not Really Chinese Dish

The truth seems to be that there Il
no such dish as chop suey known In
China, although 1t Is commonly served
as Chinese throughout the United
States. This has come about In
curious way. It originated at din
ner that Prince LII Hung Chang gave
In New York when he made his trip
around the world. Prince Ii carried
his own chef with him. and the menu
was strictly Chinese. One of the
dishes especially delighted the wife OF
the guest Of honor, and she asked IL
what 1t was. Prince Ii called in his
chef, and the chef replied in Chinese
ut is u creation of my own--a chop
suey." The words 'chop suey" mean
a mixture or hash. Prince Ii said
in English, ut Is chop suey." The
American woman spread the news OF
the chop suey, the wonderful dish. The
name was taken up by the Chinese
restaurants In Am lea, and today
chop suey is the chief connection that
they serve

summoned, Officer COffey said they all told the same story, so it was deemed necessary to have only one come to court.
 Officer Charles Wcare testified that he was about 4n feet from off cer Coffcy when he heard q noise and saw Officer Coffcys cap fall off and Janck fell to the ground. Whether the officer had been hit or not he could not say. Officer Woare had dispersed the four young men who had been making noise about an automobile.
 Henry BarkoWsN of S2 Booth street, one of the quartet, testified that they had been tinkcring with an automobile on Booth street.
 The two policemen dispersed them and Janck came along and swung his fist at one of them. Of- ftCer Wcarc ordered them to move along and called to Officer Cofrcv to 'get him." meaning Janck. The latter punched Officer Coffry in tho. face, BarkoWski said, and the off, ccr rotaliatod with four blows with the nightstiCk. The witness could not sec where the blows landed
 He assisted Officer Coffcy 10 pick Janck up and carry him from the road 10 the sidewalk. Janck was intoxicated. Barllowski said.
 .Jan"ll on stand
 Jan"k, who was attended at police headquarters by Dr. 4. J. Savard for decorations about the head and later at Now Britain General hospital, took the witness stand but was there only a minute, as he claimed that he could not recall anything Of what happened
 His head was still bandagod. Hc admitted that he was intoxicated the night of the trouble but he did not recall having been on Booth street at all.
 After Prosecuting Attorney Woods had summed mp briefly, Attorney Colon asked for a dischargo for Janek and accused Officer Conov of having had 'a chip on his shoulder" when ne approached the young man. If there was any breach Of the peace committed, il was com mittcd by the officer" the attorney | declared.
 Now as to the resistance" At- 1orncy Colon began. but Judge Ira ceshi interrupted to tell him not to spend any time on that phase Of the ! case. Hes discharged on that count,' he said. !
 As 10 the drunkenness chargo Attorney Colon said the officer had absolutely no right 10 interfere with | janch as long as the latter WAS 3bI" to go along the street without annoying or interfering with anyone.
 It was significant, foo, Attorney Colon said, that Officer Coffey claimed to have used his nighIstick only once, yet the only states wit 3"Ss not connected with the police department, testified that the off ler struck Janak four times It vas also very significant that neither policeman told that Officer Wcare 1ad called 10 Officer CoTey to get" ianok.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson g. McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Dec. THE pur-
chasing power of the public and a
willingness to continue normal ex-
penditures, the prime requisite OF
the countryS prosperity is reflected
in the weekly trade reviews, which
show retail sales generally running
ahead of last years total. In this
is shown the psychological effect of
the Hoover business program. With
the recent split up of two of our
leading corporations and the posi-
bility that consideration may be
given to a recapitalization plan of
the steel corporation, the natural
assumption is that most influential
banking sources look to the future
with confidence. While, a superficial
analysis of trade conditions may
have the effect of obscuring the
more encouraging outlook for the
coming year. it is well to bear in
mind that, based on the accepted
averages, the recovery from the re-
cent low levels in the stock market
is only about one-third of the
ground that was lost, which leaves
ample room for anticipating further
recovery in the better class of se-
curitieS and which recovery we be-
lieve will be accepted without more
than the ordinary amount Of ir-
regularity.
