Horoscope E'The stars incline
 but do not cOmpeP'
SUNDAY, MARCH g, 1886

Good planetary influences are strong today, although adverse as- poets are active, according to as- trology. The stars especially favor those who exercise authority. Gov ernors and mayors should benefit. The position of Jupiter presages more friendly agreements and al- dances between Great Britain and the United States. The conjunction of Mercury and Saturn portends ser ious problems for both governments Another startling expedition by Japan is prognostlcated for an early date. The conjunction of Mars and Uranus next month is read as boding military movements.
 It has been prophesied that po- litical assassination in the United States would mark the next few months.
 Conditions of the stars causing unrest and riots in Brazil may also disturb certain parts of California, London astrologer foretells.
 Whatever spells progress should benefit today, for it is stimulating to both men and women who are at the head of business enterprises. Although the stars are kindly in their direction, it is wise to delay beginning anything that must de- velop through an extended period
 Cold and fog, floods and inunda- tions may affect many parts of the country late this spring, but agri- culture should not suffer greatly from weather conditions.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair fortune. Although all plans may not work out, average success is indicated. For many, new interest in religious mat ters is foretold.
 Children born on this day probab- ly will be sensitive and individual to the point of eccentricity. Subjects of this sign have great devotion to any object that is worth while.
 Rosa Bonheur, painter, was born on this day, 1928 Others who have celebrated it as birthday include Thomas Crawford, sculptor, 1914; Robert A. Millikan, physicist, 1868.

the task of committing this man to canvas
was going to be difficult one The recent
slurs of Sir Preston Potter had been entirely
without justification Lord Bromboroughs
moustache was fully as lush as that which
barred the public from getting square view
of the Baronet. 1t seemed to Brancepeth, in
deed. that the job before him was more one
for landscape artist than portrait painter.
Sir Preston Potter emerged from the draw
ing room, looked sneeringly at his rival. you
beenc clipping yourmoustache, Bromborough?"
"Of course l have not been clipping my
moustache," replied Lord Bromborough
shortly. 1t was only too plain that there was
bad blood between the two men. What makes
you think I've been clipping my moustache?"
Il thought it had shrunk." said Sir Preston
Potter. 1T looks very small to me, very small
Perhaps the moths have been at it."
Lord Bromborough quivered beneath the
coarse insult, but his patrician breeding
checked the hot reply which rose to his lips.
He was host. Controlling himself with a
strong effort, he turned the conversation to
the subject of early mangoldwurzels; and it
was while he was speaking of these with
eloquence and even fire that a young man
with butter-c -colored hair came hurrying down
the stairs.
''Buck up, Edwin, said Muriel inpatient
ly. whats the idea of keeping us all waiting
like this?"
''Oh. sorry" said the young man.

of a sort; he is not clean-shaven - con-
oede that - but fine? Pooh! Ridiculous!
Never heard such nonsense in my life"
He turned pettishly away, and so hurt and
offended was his manner that Brancepeth had
no heart to continue the conversation Mutt
tering something about having forgotten his
handkerchief, he sidled from the room and
hung about on the landing outside. And pres
emily Mmiel came tripping down the stairs,
looking more beautiful than ever.
She seemed delighted to see him. "Hullo,
Brancepeth. you old bounder. What are you
doing parked on the stairs? Why aren't you
in the drawing room?"
Brancepeth lowered his voice. There's
hairy bird in there who wasn't any too matey.
thought it must be your father and accosted
him as such. and he got extraordinarily peev-
ish. He seemed to resent my saying that had
heard your father had fine moustache."
The girl laughed. ''Golly! You put your
foot IN it properly. Old Potter's madly jealous
of Fathers moustache That was Sir Preston
Potter of Wapleigh Towers, one of our better
known local Barts. He and his son are staying
here" She broke off to address the butler, a
kindly, silver haired old man who at this
moment mounted the stairs. 'Hullo, Phipps,
are you ambling up to announce the tea and
shrimps? You're bit early. don't think
Father and Mr.. Potter are down yet. All,
here's Father, she said, as brilliantly NOUS
tached man of middle age appeared. Father,
this is Mr.. Mulliner."
Brancepeth eyed his host keenly as he
shook hands, and his heart sank. He saw that

Dinner is served" said Phipps the butler.
1t was in sort of trance that my nephew,
Brancepeth sat through the meal which fol-
lowed. He had had severe shock. Few things
are more calculated to jar an ardent lover and
upset his poise than the sudden announce
ment by the girl he loves that she is engaged
to somebody else. And in addition to suffering
the keenest mental anguish, Brancepeth was
completely bewildered.
1t was not as if this Edwin Potter had been
Clark Gable or somebody. Studying him
closely, Brancepeth was unable to discern in
him any of those qualities which win girls
hearts. He had an ordinary, meaningless face.
disfgured by an eyeglass, and was plainly
ninny of the first water Brancepeth could
make nothing of it. He resolved to get hold of
Muriel at the earliest possible moment and
institute probe.
1t was not until next day before luncheon
that he found an opportunity of doing so. His
morning had been spent in making prelimi-
nary sketches of her father This task con-
cluded he came out into the garden and saw
her reclining in hammock slung between
two trees at the edge of the large lawn.
He made his way towards her with quick,
nervous strides. He was feeling jaded and
irritated. His first impressions of Lord Brom-
borough had not misled him. Painting his
portrait, he saw. was going to prove severe
test of his courage and strength. There seemed
so little about Lord Bromborough's face for an
artist to get hold of. 1t was as if he had been

If the gentlemen CD who are planning

NEW PHILIPPINE
RESOURCES TOLD
Haussermann, Former OF.
ficiaI of Islands, Stresses
Metal Wealth.

Discovery of huge chromite de-
posits and shipment of $20,00o,0OO
worth of gold will be high points in
Philippine trade with the United
States this year, according to John
w. Haussermann, former attorney
general Of the islands and a holder
of extensive gold mining interests
there. who was in Washington today
on a business trip.
The Philippines will produce at least
S2O,000.000 worth OF gold this year,
outranking Alaska as source OF the
metal, but the coming industry is not
gold, but chromite, Haussermann ex-
planned.
A deposit of high grade ore, esti-
mated at 100000 tons and l0,0O0,-
000-ton deposit of lower grade ore
the largest in the world, have been
discovered, and American scientists
believe the islands have almost limit
less possibilities, he declared.
Valuable in Industry.
"Chromite is an important indus
trial and war material, widely used
for producing stainless steel, and the
Philippines are the only territory
under the American flag with large
deposits, All our chromite will be
shipped to the United States, which
used 1928 long tons. valued at 81
277,787. The annual world production
Is only about 100000 metric tons at
present" Haussermann said.
The necessity for keeping control
over the deposits, as well as deposits
of manganese and coal, was stressed
by the former attorney general who
went to the Philippines during the
insurrection as an officer in the
Kansas volunteers. He is president OF
two mining companies, which produce
two-thirds of the gold mined in the
islands. Last year. gold shipments
from the Philippines totaled SIS
o72,925.
Sees Congress Sympathetic.
After renewing acquaintanceships
formed when group of Government
officials, including Vice President
Garner, attended the inauguration
of President Quezon last year, Haus-
sermann said:
II believe Congress is sympathetic
with the problems of the Philippines,
and will not pass any drastic legis-
1ation prejudicial to the interests of

serves as an object lesson for other
