TWO GROUPS OF VICILANTES IN
 OPEN WARFARE
Mistook Each Other for Bandits and They Blaz. ed Away Until the Sheriffs Arrived

Pieasa ntviiic, h. Feb 1s-(UP) Two groups of vigilantes. miss taking each other for suspected hoid-up men, engaged in a night. long gun battle that ended to-day only with the arrival of sheriffs' posses from adjacent counties at day-break. Meanwhile, the sus- poets escaped. No one was Inc jured.
 It all began whom night Marshal Clarence Smith saw two suspicious characters proving about tho town. He called the telephone operator and told her to muster Q vigilante organization. Soon a group of 30 men. armed with shot, guns and revolvers, gathered and barricaded themselves In the town bandstand,
 Meanwhile, Smith. fearing delay might prove disastrous, personally recruited another band which hid in q barbershop basement in view of the baudstand. Which side opened the fire could not be learned but each admitted they thought the others were outlaws, Worried over tho shooting, the telephone operator summoned help from neighboring counties.

 WAR LEVEL TAX LIKELY
Congress Puts Budget Hope
 On YOU

For example, the sioo, ,ooo-a-year man who paid taxes of si5,7eo last year and Is paying $so,ioo this year would pay under the wartime rate $35,030. The milllon-dollar-a. year man who paid t240,O00 last year and ls paying Sb7l,0O0 this year, would pay under the war time scale $703,030.
 These Sl,00o, ,Oo0-a-year incomes however, are getting fewer. In 1881, there were only 75 of them. In 1880, there were iS0 and In 1929 there were SIS. Income repre-. sented dropped from Si,2i2,0eS,. GOO in 1929 to Sl82,Oe7.O00 in i9Si; taxes collected on them dropped from $l9l,06A.000 in 1929 to $26,- 1000 in 1881.
 A return to S2,O0O exemptions for married men-instead of the S2,500 allowed now and the $s,500 allowed last year-would mean great numbers drawn into the tax. paying army.
 Results Awaited
 Tho rate of the movement for Q return to the war-time rates at the special session of Congress will probably depend on what tho t932 increases bring in, says Lowell. II. Parker, chief-of-staf of Congress' Joint Committee on Internal Revo. nue Taxation. Parker's staff advises both houses of congress on all roy. enue matters.
 "Surtax rates under the new law arc already Ill high as 5b per cent ns compared with a maximum of 65 per cent in 1918" says Mir Parker. "That means that if more money Is to be raised by income tax 1t will have to bo raised from q lot of small taxpayers, rather than from Q few large taxpayers"
 According to Parker, there arc only two big fields now for q rove- nuo increase on n major scale. one is tho proposed increase in income taxes and tho other iS the proposed sales tax, which tho treasury has estimated would yield $350, 900, 900.
 But nothing can be done about higher incomes taxes until tho spe. cinl session of Congress convenes after the Roosevelt inauguration.

Suspicious Symptoms Of
Stomach Ulcers
Copyright, 1898, King Features

NCOpyTlSuC, 1JO0p hlHS
Syndicate, 1nc.)
That quite without reason
many persons are obsessed by
fear Of stomach ulcer is un-
deniable. On the other hand,
there are also those who have
such an ulcer, or are in serious
danger of developing one, and
are entirely without suspicion
of what is going on.
An ulcer is an abraSion-a
rubbing off, so to speak, Of a
small part of the lining Of the
stomach or intestines. Usually
such an abrasion is quite small
and seldom does more than one
ulcer exist.
A stomach ulcer, however, IS
always to be considered a seri-
Gus matter and those who know
they suffer from such a condl-
ton, yet persist in disregarding
their doctors orders in regard
to it, are courting the worst
possible kind of trouble. The
danger lies in the fact that such
deficiency of stomach lining
may enlarge and grow deeper
until the ulcer finally bores its
way through the stomach wall
and makes a hole. This is what
physicians call "perforation."
If prompt surgical help is not
obtained, a perforation may
readily prove fatal.
Although ulcer of the stomach
appears to be more frequent
among women, ulcer of the
duodenum-that is, the begin
ming of the small intestine,
where it joins the stomach-iS
more common among men.
It may be mentioned inciden-
tally that the stomach lies well
up under the ribs on the left
side while the duodenum eX-
tends for about eight or ten
inches from the lower end of
the stomach. The duodenum
is really the first part Of the
small intestine which, all-in-all,
is some 20 feet long. Into the
duodenal portion run small
canals from the liver and PAN
CreaS.
High-strung, tense, nervous
types are the ones prone to
ulcers. In such persons the
hydrochloric content of the
gastric. or stomach, juice is
high.
Such increased acidity natu-
rally produces indigestion. Pain
may be experienced either be-
fore or after eating. The forma-
ton of gas is usual as well as
symptoms Of heartburn" and
nearly all ulcer patients give
a history Of having dosed them
selves with bicarbonate of soda
for months, if not years.
Should one be subject to re-
peared attacks of indigestion 1t
does not follow that an ulcer is
forming. Nevertheless, such

can prevent West from going
game at no trumpS, instead OF
allowing South to save game at
the slight cost of $50 points, by
allowing him to play the hand
unopposed at Heart. If North
makes an opening lead OF his
only heart the declarer should
be able to establish that suit
with the loss Of only three
tricks: one spade, one heart
and one club, giving him one
trick over his game contract.
Had South made an opening
bid of 1-No Trump, instead of
Heart, East and West, with all
the strength that they hold,
should have reached a game
declaration.
Suppose South makes an
opening bid of 1-No Trump.
Subsequent bidding should go:
West, 2-HeartS; East, 2-SpadeS;
West, 3-Diamonds; East, with
strength in the unbid suit, and
having the opening lead come
up to him, 3-No Trumps.
If South makes any short
suit opening lead almost GER
tainly East will win 4-odd.
One might think that West
could go game at hearts, but
only poor defense or a diamond
lead by North could enable the
declarer to come through
South'S hearts three times and
also come through the dia-
monds twice. West can surely
enter dummy only once, and
that is in spades. While South
must put dummy in the lead
twice, after he has taken his
two black Aces, that will not be
often enough to enable West to
avoid losing either to the Q Of
hearts or the K Of diamonds,
in addition to losing to South's
three Aces.

Correct Manners

particularly If you decide to
have two attendants.
Graduation Announcements
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am graduating from high
school and I would like to know
if it is correct to have both the
name and address on the cards
that are put inside the an
nouncements? B.
While it is more usual to
have only the name on our
visiting cards, it is thoroughly
correct to have your address en-
graved on them. The address is
engraved in the lower right cor
ner, in letters of the same type
of engraving used in the name,
of course, but smaller.
And remember that the Miss
is engraved before your name.
It shouldn't be omitted.

Wedding Plans

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
1 am to be married very soon,
on a Sunday afternoon, at
about 3 o'clock.
1. I plan to wear a pretty
white or paSted-colored after
noon gown, ankle length, white
transparent hat, white gloves,
white shoes, a shoulder corsage.
Is this all right?
2. May the groom wear
either a dark grey, with in
conspicuous white dot, busi-
ness suit, or business suit a
trifle brighter in color than
navy blue-with white shirt,
colcred tie, black shoes, light
grey felt hat and gloves?
3. May we have a brides
maid and maid Of honor, and
need there be a best man?
Organ music will accompany
the entrance, and a solo will
be sung at the end Of the cere-
mony. (The ceremony will be
conducted formally)

2. With your informal cos

the groom to wear the business
suit. I like the idea of his wear
ing the blue one, with the &C
cessories that you have named.
3. Usually, for such an in
formal wedding, the bride has
only one attendant, but there
is no reason why you shouldn't
have two, if you especially wish
to.

Late Fashion
Flashes

Pick daisies as favorite flow
ers for trimming. A small black
hat is trimmed with punches Of
white organdie daisies. There is
a scarf of black and white or
candle, that fastens with match
ing daisies.
A suitable pair for ensemble
uses consists of the bag and
shoe. A smart set for evening
is made Of royal blue flat crepe
with pipings of silver, and a
buckle of strass. The bag has a
silver frame set with strass and
blue stones.
Even if it rains the nose
mustn't shine. And so one en-
terprising firm has an umbrella
with a flat top resembling a
pancake compact. And that is
exactly what it is. The cover
opens to reveal powder and
puff, the powder protected by a
sitter.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. By Wilma LouNe

Today's illustration h o VS.
what the well-dressed woman
will wear for hot afternoons.
It shows dresses for larger
women, but the same recipe will
do for smaller people too.
Clothes that will be cool
and yet maintain a fresh ap-
pearance are always a problem,
but there are a few things that
will always serve, and that
come back year after year be-
cause there's never been any
thing discovered that will be
better. There's no fabric cooler
than chiffon, and there are
ways Of making it look fresh
and crisp even in dark colors,
so it will probably continue for
many a season, to be our best
pet Tor hot Weather.
Splendid Fit
On the left you see an after
noon or informal dinner dress
for the woman who wears large
sizes, 80 to 46. Although the
print is large, it is scattered
and broken so that it will not
look too big when you have it
on. All lines tend to slender
ness as they are straight, yet
have a diagonal seam here and
there to give splendid fit.
There's a cape edged with black
lace Of the Alencon type, which
will take away the look Of big
upper arms, in case you happen
to have them. This charming
dress comes in black and white,
or in navy and white, and is
priced $16.50. AS you can see,
it will do beautifully for any
formal luncheon, garden party,
afternoon of bridge, or infor-
NAL evening.
A Street Type
A more streety dress is shown
on the right, made of polka
dotted chiffon. For some rea-
son, polka dots always look
cool, neat, and tailored. They
are a good choice for a woman
of any size. The dress is also
in sizes SO to 46, and comes in
navy or black with white polka
dots. It is only $10.95 in price,
although it is very well made.
The lines are good, and the
pleated cape effect is not a
cape, but is sleeves only. This
dress will do an unlimited
amount of duty for street and
shopping, and for the more in
formal afternoon affairs.
For fashion information, or
name of store showing these
dresses, write Miss Laville, en-
closing Self-addreSSed, stamped
envelope, or call District $3.50,
