SUNDAY MARCH 10

Until late in the afternoon ben efic aspects dominate today. The morning is suspicious for religious observanceS and for music eSpecl- ally in it's relation to church serv- ices. The clergy come under fortu- nate planetary direction and will contribute greatly to the aid oi those in distress. High dignitaries of the Roman Catholic Church are to assume a great responsibility.
 Heart and Home: Women are under good influences which aid in making home the center of inter est. Under this sway informal hos pitalities have unusual significance. News of some sort will cause a sen sation today and will divert atten- ton from church-going. It is wise to listen to the counsel of the aged under this rule of the stars.
 Business Affairs: Philanthropic and charitable organizations will require support Americans will have reason to realize that char ity begins at home. Efficient meth ods of relief will be instituted by the churches and will engage the efforts of well trained men and women. Business experience will be applied to religious organizations with good results. Generous bene- factions are forecast.
 National Issues: Public health will be of wide concern, and hos pitals will command unusual at tention The training of nurses is to be of deep interest, as many young girls are called to the pro- fession which is of supreme inn portance at a time when human life is wasted. Increased need of aviation hostesses will cause re- cruiting through the summer.
 International Affairs: Barbaric treatment of Russian prisoners is to arouse the people of many na- tions, and eventually it will de- stroy Stalin who comes under most evil portents before the end of this year. It is predicted that he will meet sudden death. Another severe earthquake in Japan will add to the economic and other problems which the invaders of China must meet.
 Persons whose birthdate it IS have the augury of year of pro- gress and good luck. Employees will gain promotion. Both men and wo- men may receive increased incomes.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intense in nature, per sistent in ambitions and generally successful. Many of these subjects of Pisces have scientific trends.

MONDAY. MARCH II

tT N
 Benefic aspects are active today, but there are also adverse planetary influences. It is primarily a day to push constructive work. The stars encourage new public enterprises, but there is a sign read as indi- eating difficulty in choosing gov ernment executives to take charge. The week begins with much prom ise from the stars.
 Heart and Home: Under this con- figuration there should be harmony in the family. General good feel ing should prevail as young folk devote attention to serious things. Education is well directed, and vo- cational training will prove sue cessful in many lines of work. The stars encourage work with the hands. Sewing and food conserva tion should engage attention Warn ing is given that, even more than in recent years, women will be- come Wage-earnerS.
 Business Affairs: This is more promising day for launching well considered projects than for plan ming the future Congress will dis cuss measures unpopular with busi- ness men, but statesmen will hesi- l tate to antagonize voters and lit Ia ,c cf,.ict vrri11 complished. Neutrality laws this month will cause hardship to ex- porters.
 i National Issues: Embarrassing problems will be presented n l Washington by the Philippine P s where independence will meet with severe hazards. The United States Navy will be active in the Pacific and will accomplish heroic rescues later in the year Winds and tidal waves as well as earthquakes will bring disasters to Japan and other island populations.
 International Affairs: Results of changes in British war policies will now begin to be evident. Opposition between older statesmen and young men of modern ideas will be pre- vented from causing serious effects which might produce dangerous consequences now stirring in this far-flung Empire. The stars appear to presage conciliation and har- mony as the year advances. Secret knowledge regarding internal con- ditions pointing toward revolution in Germany is indicated by Brit ish methods of watchful waiting.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pros- perity and happiness which in- cludes for many young persons ,ourtship and marriage.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be devoted to the finer things of life. Religion and philo- ;ophy art and literature will ap- peal to them. They may be restless md fond of change

An Anniversary

w. C. Fields Is now celebrating his
18th year in pictures at Universal
studios where he is starring in THE
Bank Dick"
The comedians first cinematic
effort was in 1925, when he starred
in D. w. Grif1th's production, sally
of the Sawdust," an adaptation of
ziegfeld's great play, Poppy" in
which Fields had starred on the
stage.
The comedian decided he liked
the picture business and remained
in Hollywood to star in seven ad-
ditional productions before return
ing to the stage. In 1881 he once
more went to Hollywood, this time
to do his first talking picture, Her
Majesty, Love"
An interesting stage career had
preceded his initial appearance in
pictures. AS homeless boy, Fields
practiced juggling until he became
proficient enough to go on the stage.
He rapidly became a top-line at
traction, for he was the master
juggler of his day for many years.

Kay, a top New York advertis-

have graced the covers of the coun-
try's leading magazines, reasons this
way:
Were is not for eating onions,
she wouldn't have been so healthy.
Were it not for being healthy, she
wouldn't have been attractive
enough to get a modelling job
And were 1t not for the model
ing job, she'd probably still be max
ing $3.50 a week or so as an Army
secretary in Baltimore.
There's no hint of reticence as
Kay discusses onions.

I still could, but I don't think it
would be wise. They don't mix we'll

But I've a dozen ways of fixing
them. I think they're best for break
fast, chopped up and peppered on
toast. They're mighty fine raw, too"
The way Kay had to eat onions
when she was girl would have
bred hatred for them with many
people. She ate them because there
were times on the 575-acre Virginia
plantation where she lived that
there wasn't much else.
She was born at Bladensfeld, so

She and her four brothers and
sisters picked tomatoes and dug but
tercups for cents an hour in
those day. She was next-to-young-

til she was IA.
1T wasn't all fun" she says.
She studied to be secretary, and
was working in Baltimore when a
chance came to visit New York.
Shed had modelling in the back Of
her mind, so her first steps in the
big town led her to the Office Of
John Power, who operates an agency.
She didn't know she'd need an ap-

She didn't. Powers walked into
the waiting room, looked her over
and observed:
Those pigtails will have to come

gather he is going quietly crazy in

appear as a siren plus. She wears
beautiful clothes and men fall for
her in battalions, which is how 1t
should be.
It's fun to get Mr.. Leonard
known In the business as Pop
talking about the boys and girls who
have worked for him in movies. He
tells me of the days long ago when
Joan Crawford was trying to get
good roles in pictures. "She used
to study the stars on the sets. And
one day she came to me, crying and
begging for a chance. I know I can
act she told me. And Carlo
way back in Susan Lennox'-told
me, when will they let me do
comedy?'"
Leonard directed Myrna 10y re-
Gently in Third Finger, Left Hand"
I'm real life Myrna is quiet and
subdued. She worried a lot about
her Brooklyn accent take-of in the
picture. But it was swell, wasn't it?
My first experience with Myrna,"
continues Leonard, was in the first
Ziegfeld picture. I thought she
wasn't getting over-until I saw the
completed film"
1t was in the "Great Ziegfeld"
that Jimmy Stewart was brought
to the attention of Metro biggies.
No, he wasn't in the picture, but
Leonard used him as prop ziegfeld
to make tests with other players
