YOUR RULING
STAR
BY William Shwader-
THE YEAR AHEAD
or Theses Whose Birthday i
HoT11orr, IN

FOR moses whose Birthday Is
January 80
If January 80 Is your birth
day, during the coming year
you should refrain from spend
ing too carelessly or you may
find that you have exceeded
your income. The general con-
ditions are rather quiet, but as
only the day Of birth, and
neither the hour or the year is
considered-only generalities
are possible. Important dates:
Avoid excesses Of all kinds, take
no risks and maintain routine
from April 9 to II, % to 80,
May % to 81, July IA Is, July
81 to August 2, August 8 to 10,
% to 81, September % to Octo-
Der 2, October 81 to %, q to
November 2. Good for general
affairs from February 16. to 1S,
March II to IA, June 14~to 16,
20 to %, August 13 to II, Sep
tember 26 to %. Contradictory
dates show two opposing influ-
enceS.
A child born January 80 will
be changeable, fond Of study,
travelling and society. He Is apt
to experience extremes Of feel
ing-optimism and depression
until he learns to adjust him
self to his changing ideas.
Tendencies for January 81:
Contradictory influences restless
activity and the possibility of
meeting sudden checks and OBJ
stacles. If properly managed,
benefits through land, home,
property or real estate are pos
Sible.

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
What Can Be the Reason?
rr~~ ---Av

What Can Be the Reason?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am in love with a young
man of % and he claims he
loves me very much. 1 have
been going with him for some
time steady. I have taken him
to see many of my friends and
he comes to my folks house
often. And yet he never takes
me to his home; he has a
mother and father and often
speaks of them, but never asks
me to meet them. I've had him
over to dinner-I can't under
stand. I wonder if he is
ashamed of me or what?
DOTTIE.
How about your appearance,
my dear Dottie? Do you use
too much makeup, enough to
make you conspicuous on the
street? Are your clothes in
good taste? Expensive clothes
are not necessary, but good
taste is. And how about your
speech-you see, I don't know
you, so I feel free to ask these
questions. Your letter was very
nice indeed, written in ink on
good stationery, and the hand
writing was good too. There
was one little mistake in gram
mar which I took the liberty
of correcting-but I don't
think that could be the trouble.
However, some young men are
very fussy over mistakes of this
sort. Suppose you ask some
one you know and trust-some
nice, comfortable middle aged
woman like your former school
teacher, about your English.
Look through good women's
magazines, NOT for extreme
styles, but for becom ng
models, and see how your
clothes compare with them. l
had a letter from young man
about a week ago-postmarked
from a different city from
yours-in which he mentioned
some of the things I've sug-
gested as the reason he hadn't
introduced his fiance to his
family, NV best wishes to you.

CHAPTER 45
Duke Garson's eyes frightened;
penetratingly. he stared at the
man Higgins; perhaps, after
all, this was a real clue.
Yes, sir, I'd name a woman"
Higgins repeated.
What woman?"
God knows I never thought
I'd turn out to be a stool pigeon
against anybody, but you are a
friend of mine, Carson, and
anything you say goes with me,
Higgins said, with an attempt
at sincerity. "You can't live in
q family like have been for
several years without getting a
pretty good line on 'em. Take
the cook, Mrs. Lahey, no chance
there-dumb but honest. Miss
Connie and her mother, high
class people, not a chance.
Who's left? Miss Kitty and Mary
Smith, the maid. Take your
choice"
Are you just guessing, Hig.
gins, or do you know some
thing?" Carson asked him,
shrewdly.
I'm guessing and amt.
Leave Miss Kitty out, for a
minute. Take Smith-I've been
watching her in the kitchen,
in the pantry. and around the
house-she's nervous as hell,
Duke. Now, why would she be
nervous-that's what I'm asking
you?"
IT don't know" Carson re-
sponded, levelly. You know her
best-is she a friend of yours?"
Never Had A Beau
well, she amt crazy about
me. You know, Duke, I'm the
kind that likes a bit Of fun
sometimes, but there's not a
chance on earth with Smith.
She's one of these damned,
dried-up New Englanders. So
far as know, she's never had
a sweetheart. Maybe that's
the trouble with her-maybe
she got these suppressed emo
tions you read about"
"All right-go on"
"All that's just speculation.
Now, here's what I know:
When Mr.. Tracy was here this
morning I happened to see
Smith talking to him."
That's not exactly a crime,
Higgins"

BEAR ATTACKS EXPLORERS

Late in June, Father Hubbard and his party returned to Chig- nick following an ascent of the Aniakchack volcano. During the ascent of the mountain, the party had two encounters with bear. A Kodiak bear appeared in their path and was frighten- ed away by ice picks but the climbers could not turn away from a brown bear with a cub which they met at the crater rim. They fled across the bleak glacier down a. volcano cliff which was too steep for the speed of the bear in the chase.

PRESIDENT HEARS
SMOOT ON SILVER
Utah Senator's Plan Secret
as King Insists on World
ParIey.

Chairman Smoot of the Senate
Finance Committee today presented to
President Hoover a new plan for deal
ing with the silver problem. The Utah
Republican Senator would not discuss
the nature OF the proposed measure. He
then went to the Federal Reserve Board.
w. Mont Ferry, ]. o. Elton, E. j.
Radditz and George Snyder of Salt
Lake City, all of whom are connected
with the silver industry, accompanied
Senator Smoot.
Meanwhile, renewed demands for ac-
tion to solve the silver problem are
coming from those who have been seek
ing an international conference on this
subject.
King Renews Appeal.
Senator King, Democrat of Utah, who
was instrumental in having the Inter-
national Chamber of Commerce go on
record at the recent session here III
favor of an international silver parley,
issued a formal statement yesterday,
calling on President Hoover to take the
initiative in conference just as he has
done in the debts-reparations issue.
IF it was important for the Presi-
dent of the United States to cast the
influence of this great republic into
the scales to avert impending political
and economic distress in Europe Cthe
calamitiouS effects of which would
have appeared in all countriesl / sub
NIT 1t is of greater Importance that the
United States should take the lead in
bringing the nations together for the
purpose of dealing in a fundamental
way with the money and credit system
Of the world" King said.
e. King contended that much of the
worlds economic trouble is due to the
demonitization of silver.
There will be further political dis
turbanceS throughout the world. acute
financial troubles and continued eco
nomic distress" he said, unless i'm
portant notifications shall be made
in the fiscal policies Of nations.
Urges Adjustment.
Gold has not been handled wisely
There is a maldistribution Of it and
its inadeGdacy to meet financial and
economic conditions is becoming ap-
parent to the most dogmatic and hide
bound monometalist."
King warned of an industrial yell
low peril unless the gold standard
policy in the Orient is abandoned.
Great Britsin's economic calamities
are accentuated because of her Indian
silver policy" he said. IF the gold
standard policy is persisted in the
Occident will lose its markets in the
Orient and the Oriental nations will
be driven to set up their own indus
trial and economic life.
Then there will be a real yellow
peril not political as indicated by
many chauvinistic writers and some
who are hostile to the people of the
Orient, but an industrial peril"
King said he was informed Great
Britain would participate in a silver
conference If it was called by some
other nation.
He suggested however. that if no
nation would take the lead in calling
an international conference the prob
lem should be taken up by the League
of Nations.
