12 MARINES DEFEAT NICARAGUA REBELS Victorious in Encounter. Bandits, Barred From Loot, Fight Among Selves. By the Associated Press. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, November j I.—United States Marines have bested Nicaraguan irregulars in another en counter and. because of the presence of the Marines, dissension has broken out among the bandits operating in j the Department of Nueva Segovia. The bandits have been hampered in j their activities because Marines and | :hc national constabulary, in patrolling the district, have kept the bandit lead ers away from the larger villages. Thus the bandits have been prevented from looting and sacking. Two Gangs in Clash. More than TO bandits were killed in an engagement between two bandit gangs of different political tenden cies near the Honduran border, accord ing to advices received by Marine headquarters here. In the latest engagement between Marines and Nicaraguan guerrillas, supposed to have been followers of the rebel general Augusto Snndino, who rejected the settlement effected bv Col. Henry 1. Stimson, five bandits were killed and several wounded. There were no casualties among the Marines or the National Guardsmen who joined with them in the en counter. The Marine patrol was attacked by the bandits near El Chipote. where the Marine aviators. Second Lieut. E. A. Thomas and Sorgt. Frank Dow dell. crashed and disappeared after bombing followers of Gen. Sandino, early in October. The combat patrol was supported by airplanes and, later in the fight, which lasted three hours, a cavalry unit, under Lieut. Moses J. Gould, joined them. The patrol was com manded bv Lieut. Clarence J. Chap pell. jr., U. S. Marine Corps. The attacking guerrillas numbered 175. MRS. WILLIS CARES LITTLE FOR POLITICS Wife of Senator Gives Him Aid When Possible, but Otherwise Is Indifferent. Correspondence of the Associated Pres*. DELAWARE. Ohio.—Politics do not bother Mrs. Frank B. Willis, wife of j the senior Senator from Ohio. When her husband has a campaign on his hands she gives him all the aid she can. but as for politics in general. Mrs. Willis is too deeply interested in her home and in collecting old-fash ioned quilts to bother. She does virtually all the housework at the Willis home here, as neighbors will testify. The laundress comes in once a week and the “cleaning wom an” at regular intervals, but the cook ing and general "straightening” are done by Mrs. Willis. She is a member of the Congres sional Club and the Luncheon Club of Senators’ wives in Washington. How ever, she gets just as much pleasure out of attending the meetings of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Delaware Methodist Episcopal Church. Her own hobby is collecting quilts like grandmother used, not the star tling things known as crazy quilts, but those of ordered design. The pride of her collection is a quilt that has been in her family for nearly a cen tury. Mrs. WilUs—and the Senator and former Governor of Ohio is proud of this—has never made a political ■peech. —— ■ • ■ To Cure a Cold in One Day T»V« Laxative BROMO QUININE Tablet*.

PUMPKINS SET RECORD. Field So Thickly Grown That Ground Cannot Be Seen. Corrospnndrnce of The Star. SEPULVEDA, Calif.—Chris ]>ter son, local rancher, this year claims the | pumpkin-growing record and the blue i ribbon, so to speak, will be pinned! on him without dispute. Peterson's! field of pumpkins is so full of the j golden fruit Hat one cannot see the | soil on which it grew. One may step j on a pumpkin at one end of the field 1 | and walk ncross in any direction with-i i out ever getting off a pumpkin. In I fact, the fruit is so thick all the vines I have been smothered out. Two of the | | pumpkins weigh a tenth of a ton, and i placed side by side are so big and un j wieldv there isn't a show window in any of the town stores in which they j could fee exhibited. Peterson asserts ' ho gave the pumpkins no special care j'l just planted the seed.” he said ; “snd cultivated around a little, and left the rest to California sunshine." People of British India are taking a fancy t» leather from this country.
