US. WARSHIP STRUCK BY SHELL
TAX LOOPHOLE.
PLAN SENT TO
WHITE HOUSE
House Speeds Toward
Adjournment; One
Obstacle

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.
(UP)-The house of repre-
sentatives, speeding toward
sine die adjournment, COM
pleted congressional action
on the tax loophole closing measure
today and sent it to the White
House for President Roosevelt's ap,
proval.
Final action on the tax measure
came when the house agreed to
accept minor senate amendments to
the bill which President Roosevelt
asserted was necessary to close the
legal avenues through which
wealthy Americans had been able
to avoid full payment of federal
levies.
One major obstacle appeared in
the path of adjournment by tonight
but congress was thought certain to
be in a position to quit tomorrow
night.
Speaker William B. Bankhead
said he saw no prospect of adj
journment tonight 1--WE should be
able to adjourn by midnight Sat-
urday but probably not before that
he said.
The obstacle was the housing
bill, passed in differing forms by
the house and senate. Conferees
today failed to reach agreement
and a deadlock was feared over
some of the senate-house differ
ences.
The tax bill was approved by
the house without a record vote.
Approval came Immediately after
the house had completed action on
the controversial sugar quota bill,
approving a conference report on
the bill and sending it to the
White House where it faces a pos
sible veto.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. WP)-
The house today approved the con-
ference report on the sugar quota
bill and sent the controversial mea-
sure to the White House where it
faces a possible presidential veto.
The vote was 1913 to %.
The sugar bill, a compromise be-
tween house and senate, has been
acted upon by the senate.
Fate of the measure at the White
House was uncertain because it
carries restrictions on refining Of
sugar in Hawaii and Puerto Rico
which Mr.. Roosevelt opposes.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 20.
(UP)-A shell, apparently
from japanese big guns at
tempting to drive off bomb
ing Chinese airplanes, struck the
United States cruiser Augusta to-
day and killed sailor and wound
ed 18 others.
The incident was accidental and
there was no indication imne-
diately that there would be retail
alton by U. S. warships anchored
off the international Bund of this
war stricken city.
The big cruiser was only slightly
damaged.
The incident happened shortly
after 8 pm. during furious battle
between more than a score of Japa-
nese warships of the Imperial bat
tlefleet and attacking Chinese land
and air forces. ~
The sailor killed was Frederick
J. Falgout, seaman, End class.
1t was impossible for newspaper
men to take small boats to the
warship because of the hail of ma
chinegun fire from Chinese forces
across the river and the continual
explosion of shells from anti-air-
craft batteries on the Japanese
ships.
Chinese bombing planes had been
raiding the japanese vessels since
6 pm, making their first appear
ance over the city in more than so
hours.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. U.P)-
President Roosevelt intimated to-
day that he would allow American
officials in Shanghai to handle the
affair in which the u S. S. Angus
ia was struck by a shell, killing q
U. S. seaman and injuring 18
others.
President Roosevelt said at his
press conference that he had re-
ceived only flash" of the Incl
dent. He said such an occurrence
was likely to happen in a situa-
ton such as that prevailing at
Shanghai.

The old fellow was so pleased
with the mirror he took it home,
stole up to the attic and put it in
an old box where he kept his treas.
ures. But his wife was watching
him, and that night she slipped
out of bed, crept up to the attic
and opened the box.
''Huh," she said, looking at the
mirror, $50 that's the old bag he's

N. o. B.-I am the victim Of a
physical handicap which has pre-
vented me from following my reg
ular vocation. I am contemplate
ing different venture and want
to know if it will be a success?
Ans.-In my opinion you will be
Just as satisfied and attain suc-
cess as soon, or sooner, in this VEN
ture you have selected as an alter
native. Your DETERMINATION
is worthy of respect.
o. p. H.-Do you think I should
write to the job where my boy
friend works as he has moved? I
care a lot for him.
Ans.-DrOp him a few lines and
invite him to call on certain day
and if it is not convenient he will
call you by phone. If he failed to
give your note consideration, this
will prove that he is not as inter-
ested as you imagine him to be.
e. v. G.-Will my husband find
steady employment soon or is he
trying to get work?
Ans.-D0n't you think it is Just
as unpleasant for your husband, as
it is for you to be without work and
sufficient money for decent exist
ence. Don't nag and criticize him
but give him due consideration and
encouragement and he will find q
good job soon.
E. H.-Who sent me the letter
and who is it that has a dislike for
me?
Ans.-This was sent merely as
a coke" Nothing in the letter
should be taken seriously by your
self as it was all meant to be a
prank"
II. D.-Does this friend care for
me as he says and would it hurt
the man who has been devoted
father and husband for 16 years
for me to leave with the man I be-
lieve I love with all my heart?
Ans.-To choose between the
husband who is father to your
SEVEN CHILDREN and the man
who has sprung up from any
where is a difficult problem. Re-
member your husband has
proved his worth while the other
is an untried quantity. This new
love is burning with a blazing
fame now, but be WISE and let
it burn out.

INQUIsTTTyE SAL
Hello Everyone:

ever seen attending a style show
turned out at the st. Thomas Epis-
copal show last Monday night.
The Knicherbacher Hall was so
crowded that gang of folks had
to sorta inger out in the halls. A
couple Of bright-eyed gels stood
on some chairs and to balance
themselves they just leaned all
over the heads of some of the in
nocent (handsome) male by
ISLANDERS. The clothes modelled were
so lovely that you had to ask your
self twice were you SEEM things.
-. MAXINE SHANNON caught
my eye with that very alluring
green lacey dress she wore. :.
PATTY DAVIDSON, as always,
made a perfect model. IKA-
LINE MOORE was one Of the
sweet sub-deb models. BAR
BARA MCCLURE JUS flashed that
brilliant smile of hers and won the
hearts of the audience. !.
DoROTHEA HARRIS looked very
striking in that black and white
evening wrap. . Everyone agreed
that the wedding gown NINA
SALTERS wore was one Of the
loveliest. HELEN WATERS
really looked striking as one of the
bellies of the old COS. The whole
show brought up the eternal ques-
ton of "What to Wear" Clothes
are women's background. I won
der do we women dress to please
the men or to impress other
women. (Girls, We'll discuss that
amongst ourselves. If we do dress
to please men we won't tell them,
anyway, will we?) -. Those who
took time out for romance at the
dance were DON SESSIONS and
BETTY MARSHALL, BOB
SHOFFNER and MARIANNE
CARTER, LIE ROY and ETHEL
WILLIAMS. The most popular
song played-"This is My Last At
fair" although good old "Chris-
topher Columbus" has never lost
its popularity and probably never
will. :. Well, that's all for that.
