Those two Chipmunks used their
 claws, and they used their teeth

Impy forgot that he was afraid. He forgot that this stranger was bigeer than he. He just used tooth and claw for all he was worth He didn't even feel the bites and the scratches that the big. Chipmunk gave him. They rolled over and over had to stop for breath. Then they went at it again. Without realizing what she was doing, little Miss Fris- ky crept nearer and nearer. Which one would win? Which one did she want to win?

4 LEARNED FEAR By Alice JudSon Peale

Vera. as a grown woman, is des- perately afraid of snakes.
 She remembers exactly how she acquired that fear. While yet very little she used to take great delight in little green garden snakes.
 She liked even the big gopher snakes that she sometimes saw on long country walks with her father. She heard a rattler once in passing and, warned by her father to keep q respectful distance, had continued her walk with him without undue apprehension.

 M Tardieu, who left at 1 a. Iii for Paris, conferred at a. m. with Mr, Macdonald again, and an hour later with Colonel. Stimson before taking his train. Members of his delegation, head by Aristido Briand, foreign minister bade him farewell at the railway station.
 Colonel Stimson later went to Downing street for q talk with the British prime minister, having pre- viously called a meeting of the American delegation for later in the day.
 Another important private confer cncc projected for today was one between Prime Minister Macdonald and Foreign Minister Grandi of Italy. It was understood that the main problem before them was solution of the Frcnco-ltalian situation upon which depends the final outcome of the conference.
 A British spokesman again sad this morning that the conference be- tween MT Macdonald and Premier Tardieu at Chequers yesterday had been satisfactory. He added that the conversation was largely on the tonnage figures and did not relate to any political pact

Siaco Franklin is not d member of the Bull Fighters Cooperative csso- ciation he must spend his con- valescence in an ordinary hospital instead of the specially equipped in stitution the toreadors maintain.
 The bull was the first and only one the American faced for the after noon. He went out jauntily to meet the big black animal and danced in front of it with his red cape.
 There was something in the temper of the bull which warned the spectators of impending trouble. There were murmurs that the Amer icano had bad animal 10 conquer In the midst of the murmurs Frank lin made } whirling pass at the bull with his cape, and turning for an in stant was caught on the brutc's right horn.

ALLEGED SHARPER HELD
Pair in New York Said to Have Reaped $10O,000 By Ilimham Gamc-Onc to Be Brought to This City For Trial.

Swindled, according to her story, out of s3,092.50 in cash and s4,950 in stocks and bonds, Miss Mae M. Booth of 52 Cedar street, today as- sisted the police and Prosecuting At torney J. G. Woods in the prepara- tion of atfidavits necessary to extra dite Peter Saul, 34, of Everett, Mass, from New York for arraignment in the local police court on the charge of obtaining money under false pre- tences.
 Takes Stock, Bonds and Check
 Saul called on Miss Booth, who is former teacher in the. local schools, and advised her on September 16, 1929, to purchase stock of the Harri- man National bank, which, he repre- sented, would shortly increase m value. She turned over to him 100 shares of stock in the Amo Manu- featuring Co. of MiddletOwn and four bonds, to be used as collateral, and on October he made his second call and pointed out that he had been put to some bother trying 10 use the ppluo III tHc ucdl, eIlu IL "oulu Dt necessary for ner to give him q check for S3,092.50 ill order 10 have the order for the bank stock be- come effective. The value of the stock had increased a few points, as he had predicted, and Miss Booth was certain it was good opportun- ity to make a profitable investment.
 The confidence which Miss Booth had in his honesty was evidenced when she wrote on the back of the check request to honor the check with the endorsement of "R. Cor man." which was the name Saul gave her as his own. He apparently feared it might be difficult to cash the check, which was drawn on the New Britain Trust Company, unless she added the request. He cashed it but never called on her again, nor cid she send her the stock certiti cates or bonds. All she has to show stock, her bonds and her s3,o92.50. are a receipt signed by "R. German and the cancelled check.

 Miss Booth did not report the al legged swindle to the police, but wrote to Clark, Childs X, Co, of New York, "Gorman" having represented him. self as an agent of that firm.
