big game, visiting remote, danger ous sections of the world and ex- ploring Canadian wildernesses arc some of her pastimes.
 Born and reared on a Texas ranch, she took to the saddle as a child, riding the range with cow boys. Fifteen years ago, she learned to fly in a secondhand plane, held together by copious hay-wire lashings.
 Before Mrs. Dahlberg was 20 years old, she had crossed the Andes on mule back. Hunting ex- petitions took her to Africa, India and China. Piloting a canoe 700 miles through crudely- tributaries of Hudson Bay gave her many a thrill.
 Mrs. Dahlberg lives in Chicago and travels about the country in a large amphibian plane. When Dagger was published in book form, she entertained New York critics at tea in her plane 5000 feet above Manhattan.

CHICKENS RUIN GARDEN,
 AMATEUR GARDENER SAYS
Clinton Street Neighbors Have Dfs- puts Over Wandering Fowls
 With Sharp Appetites.

Emilio Primini of 369 Clinton street appealed to the police yester- day to protect his garden against the depredations of chickens owned by a neighbor, Antony karpic, of 359 Clinton street.
 According to Primini he has tried all summer to have a little family garden in the rear of his home, but between the bugs, cut worms, small boys and Mir. Karpic's chickens, he has had tough time of it.
 He sprayed his vegetables and got rid of the bugs. He dug every morning and got rid of the cut worms. He kept sharp watch while at home, and his wife kept watch during the day and the boys were eliminated finally as garden men ace.
 The chickens, however, remained a pest that could not be eliminated, so yesterday afternoon MT. Priminl gave his neighbor his ultimatum.
 You keep those>chickens at home or l will kill them," he shouted.
 MT. Karpic laughed, so MT. Pri- mini called up the police. Sergeant P. J. O'Mara responded to the call.
 After hearing both sides of the story, in. which the gardener said he wanted the chickens kept out of his garden, and the chicken owner said he couldn't keep the chickens at home, as they have rowing natures, Sergeant O'Mara said to MT. Kar- pic, You will have to keep the chickens out of his garden and if they go in there and he shoots them there is nothing the police can do about it.
 Karpic and Primini said nothing.

him away, and Jenny learns that he thinks she was the one who framed him ?"
 She nodded.
 Well, there's a. real spot for Jenny there. It's a good scene. I'll iot down the lines for you"
 He began to write on the pad that Mona brought him, and Anne beside him leaned close to him and watch ed the rapidly moving pencil, mounting the words as he wrote them down.
 And here's another pretty good one, Anne. You might as well be going over this one too. Remember it?"
 She bobbed her head eagerly, and her eyes shone. T think l can remember everything in the play, Dan. Oh, it's just wonder! Mona, tell him how much I've talked about it to you. I'd give anything to play that part
 I'm really beginning to think she would, Dan," Mona said, laugh ing. She got up then and slipped out of the room, and from the kitchen she called back to Anne that she was going ahead with the dinner.
 But don't worry about me spoil ing anything. I'm just slicing the tomatoes"
 Anne smiled and called out some thing in reply. Poor Mona and her cooking," she exclaimed softly, and bent once more over Dams writing.
 Rorimer leaned back and tapped the end of the pencil against his chin. How does Mona feel now -better?''
 Yes. a great deal
 Heard from Eva?"
 No"
 Mona called again to ask Dan if he would stay for dinner. She came to the doorway to repeat the invitation, and the sun, streaming through the contained win dow behind her, made flame of her red hair
 Steak, Dan-and salad that little Mona is fixing all by herself. Bet ter stay"
 And Anne urged him. "Yes, do.' For the sake of the salad, then, yes," he said. and Anne left his side and went to the kitchen.
 He continued for few more minutes to write, and when he put the pad aside he joined the girls in the kitchen, crying loudly that he wanted to be put to work.
 And don't think I cant cook a steak. Say, this is going to be a regular party. It's Rorimer's night to howl, girls. After dinner, Miss Winter will entertain with a rem dition of a couple of swell scenes from a swell play, and then were all going to go places and do things Right?"
 Right" said Mona.
 CHAPTER NXXV
 As it turned out. Anne did no have to ask Garry Sloan. She say him the next morning. sitting on { bench in the sun in the big court He was in his usual costume o white flannels and white shirt oper at the throat, and he was reading a manuscript.
 Anne was steeling herself tt make the request that she some how dreaded to make when Sloar glanced up from his reading anc saw her coming down the palm shaded walk. He smiled and i'm mediately said, Come here, child, and beckoned to her.
 He moved his bulk to make room for her on the bench. Anne die look rather like a child beside tn, huge Sloan.
 T want to look at you" he said crossing one leg over the other ant resting an arm on the back of tn, bench; and he gazed at her a though he expected to find some thing new in her.
 You look nice,' he said finally but you look awfully innocent fo Jenny"
 Anne was bare headed, and sh always looked younger and less so

guy Michael" he said. Isn't that a pretty tony name for a tough guy?"
 But Sloan laughed and shook his head. You haven't read the play" he said. Mike wouldn't suit this guy at all It's got to be Michael; he's that kind of a person"
 He continued to hold Anne's hand as she waited for the play back that would bring to Her the sound of her own voice.
 Presently they heard scratching in the loudspeaker overhead, and then came a word, low in pitch, vii brant, full of bewilderment and an- guish -

 CIVIC CLUBS VALUE
Importance in Life of City Will
 Be Discussed Wednesday

The value of civic clubs and whether they are of any particular use to a community will be discussed in an open forum at the meeting of the Kiwanis club at noon Wednes- day at the Burritt hotel.
 There will be no outside speaker at the meeting. which will consist of an open forum divided into two parts. The first half of the session will be devoted to a question of bus mess ethics and fair play in business.
 The remainder of the meeting will be turned over to frank discussion of the future of civic clubs. This matter is one which often is dis cussed among members. The mem- bership turnover in New Britain civic clubs is large and it is said that in the past few years between 75 and 100 men probably have ceas- ed to function as active civic club members. In some cases these men have been replaced by new members.
 The suggestion that the three or four civic clubs in the city merge into one is heard frequently.

 He asked then if Dan would like to be shown around the lot 'I'll be tied up myself, but we can get hold of someone in the publicity , department to take you around Might as we'll look the place over, now that you're going to be work ing here."
 So Rorimer was taken in tow by an agreeable young man from the publicity department. The tour was a short one, though, because only one stage was busy at the time; and when they returned to the offices Dan asked him if he knew whether Miss Winter was around. After some inquiries his guide learned that she had left for the day.
 Shortly afterward Dan departed and he drove at once to the bun salow, where he found Anne and Mona in aprons, preparing dinner Anne said at once, Dan, you've brought good news. I can see it in your face"
 And he admitted that that was true. Ut went over, Anne; Grand United bought it.
 "Oh, that's wonderful, Dan. Si' down and tell me all about it. Din ner can wait, Mona; we simply have to hear this right away can't wait another minute"
 He laughed happily, knowing nc other triumph that could equal this present one; and he followed them to the sofa, where they made him sit between them and relate the thing from beginning to end,
 Talk about break.'' Dan saic l ioyfully, with an arm around eacf of them. q still don't believe it Anne, pinch me. will you?"
 They were excited, animated listeners; they were unable to keer from interrupting his recital witt ! eager exclamations.
 "A contract, Dan. That's won. | derful,'
 Well, maybe. That remains tc | be seen"
 l And Dan saved something for the l end. The best is yet to come," he said, looking at Anne. They may give you a chance, Anne, at the part of Jenny. How'd that be? spoke to Johnson about you, and h' i promised that he'd suggest to the director that you be given a test.'
 Dan, you didn't"
 q sure did"
New Britain herald., 1930-09-08

How did you ever dare?'
 Why don't you behave?" Mona demanded. What do you mean, dare? Why shouldn't he?"
 Sure, why shouldn't 2" said Dan But listen, Anne. Garry Sloan's the director. You'd better see him right away and tell him you'd like that screen test. Tell him you'd like to play that role and you want to show him what you can do. Don't be afraid to speak up, because if you don't he might make up his mind on somebody else before you get a chance
 Anne shook her head, "Oh, l can't do that"
 Why not? Johnson's going to suggest it to him. Sloan can't take your head off for telling him how much you'd like it" Dan said, Sloan likes you, doesn't he?'
 Anne looked at him a little queerly and made a denial. Why should he? He has been kind, of course. but"
 Just the same" Mona put in, you do as Dan says. Don't be afraid to ask for what you want. They'll think a lot more of you for it. won't they Dan?'
 Rorimer agreed and Mona said, Remember what happened when you turned down that first contract. That didn't hurt your standing any, did it? Johnson didn't get sore. did he? Tell 'em what you want Anne. If 1 ever get along as far as you've gone I'll speak my piece all right-loud and often.'
 Mona laughed. You wouldn't see little Mona overlooking any i breaks. Just let me at 'em.'
 Just what did you tell Mir. John. son about me-" Anne asked, anc | Dan related what had taken place that afternoon. He and Mona argued persuasively enough to wir her consent to speak to Garry Sloar at the first opportunity,

 Kellogg outlined a careful pro- gram for the maintenance of peace including a network of peace pacts strong enough to enmesh a possible find recourse to war impracticablc if not impossible.

MAY MAKE SENATE
 APPROVE HUSTON
Committee Plans to Force Vote
 Pro and Con on His Acts

Washington. March % (UP)- The senate may be called upon to approve or condemn. by formal vote, the manner in which Claudius, Illus ton, chairman of the republican ha- ttional committee. handled the funds of the Tennessee River Improve ment association, as disclosed by the senate lobby committee.
 Aroused by charges of playing politics. in the investigation of Illus ton's activities. members of the com- mittee were planning today to force senate vote on their forthcoming report of the way in which Huston handled the $36.100 given to him by the. Union Carbon company for the lobbying organization.
 Their plan, which would bring the issue squarely before the senate, is to condemn Husten's activities in the report and then force the senate to vote on the question of accepting it. May Act Next Week
 The report, which may be sub mitted next week. undoubtedly will point to the committees evidence in dicating Huston solicited funds from the Union Carbide company for his organization on the claim the asso- citation needed the money "at once" but that when he received the funds he used them to protect his private marginal stock account
 The report also is expected 10 show that Huston later turned the S36, 100 over to his association but kept the profit he made on the stocks.
 Many republican senators have privately admitted that Huston will have to retire as d result of the lobby committees disclosures. but others have contcndcd the develop mcnts are not serious enough to force him to give up his post. One of the latter group is repub- | lican leader Watson who has inti- mated politics was mixed up with the charges to such an extent that 1 Illusions reputation has not been destroyed.

 Tte report of the policy commit tee said:
 While accepting fully Dr. Mag Earland's good faith i'll his course and in his explanation of that course, in the opinion of the com mjttee, Dr. MacL.arland has com mittcd a very great error in taking nay for services rendered the mo tion picture producers while acting as a salaricd officer of the fedora council
