But We Shall Always Vote 1 for Good Old Liver and Onions.

What doth the busy rcstaura nt man scll easiest in New BritaiE. unused the Observer the other day. . as he scanned q bill of fare for his f noon selection ot food. 4 little in ! quiry soon demonstrated. Tastes apparently vary according 10 the class of trade served. with each type E$of restaurant swearing by few oll standby dishes. Men and wom sn lean toward different foods also, but taking all these things into con- sldcration there are about three se,S of favoritc dishes in three different types of restaurants and luncn- counters.
 |, In one restaurant. that caters tu women. salads arc featured, for ono IfthinG. Dainty dishes of several sorts are sold quite readily, particularly y Iscreamed foods. The more staple ar tlcles on the menu. such as roast beef. pork or lamb, sell well. but pnot so much to women. Sandwiches run to such com bnations as c~s and olive or cream cheese and datls, rather than the he-man fillinGg, when the women order.
 The second restaurant. which is more Of unch-counter than any thing else. sells vast quantities If baked beans, for one thing. Bc.f stew goes steadily. and hamburg sandwiches are in big demand Sur- prlsln2ly. also. contrary to the ide&s Of some Of th1 famous cooks, the mon who .patronize this place eat puddings and like them. Pies 70 fairly we'll. but the puddings lead the dessert race.
 The third eating establishment rr,. ports an even more curious com- bination Of likes and dislikes. from the man who always orders graham crackers. milk and a baked apple for his lunch. 10 another who sticks 10 something ha knows he likes and al- ways gets ham and cgg sandwich. In this particular restaurant two things when they can be, ebtainll l sell out almost as fast as they can De put on the plates. One is thc rare old combination of pigs Enuckles and saucrhraut and the other is spare ribs and sauerkrav, Corncd beef and cabbage has a biz following, also. On the other hand such dishes as chicken croqucttys and hash don't seem to go so well.
 Apparently, most Of the rcstal- rant people say. the average m;n looks for something that he likes particularly well, but doesn't get at home as often as he would like 9, while the women lean moro toward dainty dishes

POVERTY THE ROOT OF ALL CRIME

When President llooNer's com mission gets around 10 it there will be an investigation of crime and how 10 combat or prevent it. No doubt the commission will have much to say on how 10 improve the machinery CT justice and make punishment more certain for those who violate laws. There is much to be said on this subject in a land where in some states only one murderer out Of ten ever secs thc inside Of penitcntiary.
 But if the commission tackles the lundamcntais or the sitpalion it will have 10 come to the .conclusiou that the prime reason for crime is noIrtNsr Y The average criminal 'Go1nmits' crime in order s,o, get money. He wouldn't comJqit. bis crimes # he had money to. begin with. or enough Of 1t 10 suir his reasonable needs.
 A philosopher once said. that "money4is the root Of all evil" Everyone knows that when un- employment i. rife crime increases. Everyone knows. too, that during the winter months, when economical conditions are likely 10 be harder than in the summer time, there is more crime and moro commitments 10 the prisons. This IS true in every state, incuding Connecticut.
 A perusal Of crime stories in tho papers during the past few month, convincos US that majority Of those committing the misdccds were actuated solely through the desire 10 obtain money quickly. IF successful, they may become ad- dictcd to luxury and then commit more crimes 10 maintain themselves in a luIuriou. state; but at the be~ sinning most criminals start poor, and start on criminal career through the desire 10 enjoy some Of the luxury they see about them, and they set the crroneou. impress sion that stealing the. money thai buy. the luxury i. an easy way 10 acquire the whcreuithal. They be- come baadits because they think il Is one way 0 obtain money without honest labor,

But let the broadcaster add that in ad- dition to this, the teeth should be looked after by dentists at regular intcrNals--dnd immediately the dentists frovn will turn 10 q broad smile or approval.
 Suppose snake oil doctor tells q person 10 use his stuff for rheumatism, and if it does no good, inc patient or victim should consult a doctor.

THE MAN HUNT AT AN END

With several suspects. including Lhe indil idual who is thought 10 have fired the sun with which or hccr McNamec was killed Thurs day evening, in dLrance vile one aC the largest man hunts witnessed n Connecticut is at an end. Several youths are in jails in Waterbury. New Britain and Bristol, awaiting he trials which will judge whether they were passengers in the stolen gar from which the fatal shot was fired, and whether they fired the shots. From these it is pretty safe 10 say the suilty' persons will be easily picked. Justice moved in the state yesterday and moved quickly with the impetus ot many hastily lmproHised posses of state and local police. and private citizens comb ing the hills north Of Waterbury after one Bropfy, a suspect, had been cornered in a barn and es- caped after he had shot at the four policemen who approached him.

Pictures Now Go Dumb As Well AS Going Blind

In the good old days. when the 'Hlckers and fits" otherwise known as the silent productions of the sji- yer screen, used to develop surpris- Ing lapses in continuity, the effect was quite amazing. Apparently part of the film at some previous show Ing had been caught in the gears, or broken too badly to repair. with the result that a few dozen feet had to De chopped out, with disastrous re- suits in later shcwing5. Nowadays, however, when something happens to & film 1t has to De made to haD pen to the recording apparatus as well. so that the two lapses will at least coincide New Britain had an example of this in a film playing one of the local theaters just re- gently The effect was even more noticeable than in the days of the silent pictures.

 Coste and Bellonte have repaid the visit made to France by Lind bergh several years ago. successfully achieving the remarkable run through the air of well over 5000 miles, they are to be warmly con- graduated. Judging by their recep- ton in New York they will be taken into the hearts of Americans as thor oughly as the American was wei comed by the Frenchmen when indbergh made the trip the other way. And cable reports from abroad assure us that their countrymen are as enthusiastic as possible over the flight.
 We are only too pleased to be able to raise our voice to swell the gen. eral approval of the temerity and success of the Frenchmen. The pioneers of the trackless airways are to be warmly welcomed and universally admired.
