plea should not be granted.
The action was brought by J. Wood
Thompson and A. w. Fisher Of Le-
land, Miss, and D. s. Hopson and
s. J. Ward Of Wetumka, Ala.
Represented by the Washington law

because the tax imposed was pri-
marily for the purpose Of controll-
ing production. In its decision in
validating the agriculture adjustment
act, the United States Supreme Court
held the Federal Government had no
authority to control agricultural pro-
duction, 1t was stated.
The court was requested to restrain
the Government from disposing OF
any Of the $3.500,0O fund pending
final adjudication Of the suit.

they should receive the following

dined on "tournedos" and "haricots

It was three days later and not
until we had examined menu cards
in the windows Of exactly 20 res
taurants that we finally located one
in the Strand where food remained
proud Of its English ancestry. It was
crowded, too, but it was not until
later that we learned the place Is an

the dining room on the ground floor

He Was discussing the man in white

RY WILLIAM HILL,

BY I. WILLIAM HILL,
Stan Correspondent of The Star.
r ONDON.-You come to a time,
after perhaps a week In Lon
don, when you think you would
- like to dine on some truly
English dishes.
Up to then, busy doing the things
YOU ought to do, and a few Of the
things you want to do, you haven't
thought much about food. You have
been content to order "tournedos,"
a "Chateaubriand" or an "entrecote"
from the inevitable French menu at
your hotel, knowing you will get
steak not greatly different from one
you might get at Washington hotel.
Perhaps you have even gone so far
in "Anglicizing" your table habits as
to have q elf-conscious 4 o'clock
English tea with scenes and jam. II
you are more experimental you might
have dropped in at one Of the milk
bars to be found in downtown Lon
don and taken your "pasteurized"
straight. You may even have stopped
one Of the men in white who pedal
around on bicycles with box before
them bearing the words stop me and
buy one" only to find stop me
and buy one" was Just ice cream.
An English Dinner"
But one evening you begin to think
about this food question more seri-
a,,-1xy vo,, econ voi1r mann rather
hopelessly and resolve you will not
have a steak by any name. Finally
you call the maitre d. hotel and sug-
gest you would like what you call a
'real English dinner" Whereupon
that worthy, with polite bows, in
forms you that anything served in
England Is an English dinner" You
shrug despairingly and subside to
hors d'oeuvres, potage Jacques, gigot
d'agneau, etc.
But where, we began to wonder at
this point, are the roast beef and
Yorkshire pudding. the plover's eggs,
the grouse or the saddle Of mutton
that are traditionally London's? One
evening we set out to find them.
The American traveller about to be-
gin adventures in dining usually starts
out with Soho, London's principal
restaurant district. That's strange
thing about this city-the localiza-
