FIDO'S SKULL CRACKED
 PATCHED WITH COIN

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. II - Fido may have been totally worth less mutt once, but he's a valuable dog now.
 He was brought to a local veter- marian, suffering from a hole in his skull inflicted with some sharp in strument. The vet promptly got to work. He cut out a portion or the skull bone and inserted a bright, silver dollar in the boneless space.
 Fido now wags his tail as gaily as ever and smiles smile that hls canine companions cannot under stand. He seems to realize that he's a valuable dog since he has -four bits" worth of Uncle Sam's circulat- ing medium wedged tight in his cranium. It is even reported that he trifle "stand-offish" now when in the company of other dogs.
 If you change your address, do not notify the carrier boy-report your new address to the office.

PHRENOLOG|S7S PAY
 $35 FINES IN COURT
Quartet of Gypsy Women Arrested for Statute Vi0-
 lation by Sergt. McCue

Detective Sergeant W. P. McCue arrested Mary and Annie Anjula, and
 Mary and Katie Mark, gypsies, yes terday afternoon for violation of the state statutes relative to the prac- tlce Of phrenology as a science by which the future may be told through reading" Of the bumps on the head. Arraigned in court this morn ing, the accused pleaded guilty through Lawyer David L. Nair and George l.. Witt. Each was fined s35 and costs.
 The fines in the cases of Mary and Katie Anjula were paid, but Mary Mark and Annie Anjua were taken back to the cells where they had spent the night when they were un- able to pay. Since each has a child only few months old. their release within a few hours was expected.
 Sergeant McCue had received sev- eral reports concerning the activities of the gypsies, Yesterday two young women told the police officer that they had been to establishments conducted by the accused on East Main street, Main street, and La fayette street, and in all three places, had the bumps on their heads read" and their fortunes told through the medium of palmistry. They paid 50 cents in each instance.
 Prosecutor J. G. Woods branded the accused as a nuisance to the com munity that should be eradicated by putting the offenders out of the city.
 Lawyer Nair felt the ends of jus tice would be met by giving the pris- oners until Saturday to get out.
 Judge klett commenting upon the case, re marked that ae was familiar with such cases over a period of sev- eral years. Oftentimes, he said, af- ter the gypsies leave town reports come in of poor ignorant persons having been victimized with heavy loss of money. The phrenology prac- ticed is but subterfuge, Judge Klett felt.
 State Policeman Arthur N. Ruther- ford arrested Henry Warenberger of Plainville, last night on West Main street, on charges of reckless driving. He pleaded guilty this morning and paid a fine of $50.
 Policeman Rutherford followed the accused along the highway at a rate of 55 miles an hour. Seven automo- piles were passed out on the way. The accused came to stop when he just grazed a woman and child and when he did so he was placed un- der arrest.
 He had no defense to offer. The state policeman told the court that his only explanation last night was that he had an appointment with a young woman and was .in a hurry.

Paris, June s.-(By the Associated Press)-All idea of an international loan to Germany has been given up by the committee of bankers. and they are meeting today to agree upon the form of their report to this effect which will be submitted to the repar- ations commission.

 First, that there must be unanimity among the lenders, which were to in clude all the countries represented on the separations commission
 Second, that the credit basis of Germany must be outlined clearly
 The bankers look upon the repara- tions commissions reply 10 their re- cent note as an official declaration that unanitulty dtes not exist among the prospective lenders. and therefore feet that plans for a loan cannot be

That business in New Britain, e.- pecially among the hardware manu- featuring concerns, is improving slowly but steadily, is felt by local metchants and admitted by n,anufac- turing concerns. Many signs would indicate the same thing.
 The abolishment of the city labor bureau some time ago. with the state n1ent by the mayor that there was no more need for it, was the first sign of returning prosperity The rush for June wedding licenses at the city clerks office Is another sign.
 Building Operations
 The building operations, several ac- counts of which have appeared in re- cent editions of The Herald and which are more active now than they have been for years. is another very good indication. Persistent rumors that manufacturing concerns are withdrawing certain brands of build CTS hardware from the market be- cause of the fact that orders are comig in faster than the goods are being produced, all indicate that pros perity is well on it's way.

 Plan of Payment.
 Payment of the half mile of high way would be taken care of by split ting the expense four ways, each of the four interested parties paying one quarter. The sixth warden feels that the Town of Newington, State of Connecticut. City of New Britain and New Haven road would be willing to pay a share toward constructing the new highway.
 Considering the difficulties of rais- ing L,rge sums of money in towns the size of Newington, MT. Lynch has pre- pared for a possible refusal by that town to pay it's one-fourth share. In that event he would suggest that the town deed to New Britain the strip of land lying between the railroad tracks to the west, and east of the highway as far as the Roper residence in Newington.
