HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not comape"
Wednesday, March 10

Conflicting planetary influences
are active today. Pluto is in an as
pect that may presage war crisis.
Labor is well directed.
HEART AND HOME: This is a
favorable date for starting new
work or for entering into business
agreements. The evening is most
promising for romance and should
be suspicious for weddings. Mar
riages this year will be more nu-
merous than in previous wartimes,
which always stimulate sentiment
and stir emotions. Mercenary mo-
lives will be rare but many young
widows with fortunes will be among
the brides of 1913. Many men and
women of middle age and more
will seek companionship in mar
riage. @
BUSINESS AFFAIRS Necessary
war regulations will affect various
lines of business and there may be
many long established firms that
close their doors because of changed
trade conditions. This does not
mean that there will be serious
consequences for experienced men
because employment will be await
ing all who are efficient. The
Spring will be fortunate for the
Middle West and Canada which
will enjoy special advantages. The
nation as a whole will continue to
be prosperous. This should be a
fortunate day for labor
NATIONAL ISSUES: Again taxes
will gain wide attention in all parts
| of the United States. AS the cost
of maintaining vast armies and
meeting lend-ieaSe obiig tion S
mounts, the need of vast amounts of
money will harass Washington.
Notwithstanding rationing and 9TH
er daily reminders of war the AM
erican people will maintain their
usual pattern of living with little
regard to the price of comforts and
inxuries. Drastic measures meant
to encourage real sacrifice will be
heatedly discussed in Congress.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS.
Rumania will be much in the
headlines in coming weeks Evil
portents are discerned for the UNI
happy people who will be strongly
susceptible to revolutionary influ-
ences. After a Winter of intense
suffering among civilians and heavy
losses in Hitler's forces the people
will be desperate and rebellious
midas complex political conditions
will reflect the influences of the
stars which stir desire for independ-
ence at any cost. Women of India
will gain much publicity.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of ex-
ceptional good fortune. Benefits and
honors will be bestowed upon mer
and women. s ss.
Children born on this day pro-
badly will be intelligent and WELL
balanced. They should have lofty
ambitions and splendid talents
Happiness and success is indicated
for them.

When Conchita
Comes Near
Bulls Shudder
By Harold RafcHf.
BROWNSVILLE, Tex.


The big attraction across the Rio
Grande at Matamoros these Sundays
is Conchita Cintron, the lady bull
fighter.
Conchita looks like a college CO.
ed, bare S feet tall, a scant 110
pounds. The stranger is apt to feel
sorry for her when she steps into
the ring, but before the show is
over he's willing to acknowledge
that it's the bull that could use the
sympathy.
Conchita has flung her red robe
high in victory over more than $50
bulls in her four years of profess
sional bullfighting. For all her frail
appearance, this pretty, brown
haired, brown-eyed girl is one of
the flercest matadors in all Mexico.
Conchita is an American citizen,
the daughter of MIR. and Mrs. Frank
Cintron. She was born in Chile and
reared in Peru. She started fighting
bulls at the age of Is and is cred
tied with introducing the combina-
tion of fighting bulls both on horse
back and afoot. She always leaves
the horse for the kill, although plac-
ing the "banderillas" in the bulls
shoulders from the saddle This is a
beautiful execution, both by Miss
Cintron and the horse.
Her first horse-and many she
has owned since then-came from

this is not because she considers

Her earnings are large. She av-

around $4,000 in American money.
For instance, some 1000 watch her
in Matamoros at an average of 6
pesos per person, and Miss Gin

Mr. Heinreid, for instance, is de-
termined that he will not play Mr.
Skefhngton in the book of the same
name. Warner Bros, his employers
for three pictures year (RKO has
him for one), wanted him to take
the role, but he thinks not. The
woman In the book is to be played
by Bette Davis. She is consider
able actress, Mr.. Heinreid says, and
it would be an honor to play opposite
her. It also would be quite OBJ
scuring experience. Mr.. Henreid
thinks that is more to the point.
1T will be Miss Davis picture -
he says.
But" he reflects, I'm not sure
that l think it should be. AS a
matter of fact, doubt that it would
be good role for her either"
Mr.. Heinreid, who is a baron back
in Vienna-when there is a Vienna
again-was more troubled by the
prospect of his personal appearance
in the Back the Attack" program
1T is on occasions like this" he
observed, that an actor really needs
writer. And he does not have one.
sye is left to get up to extemporize,
or maybe read few selections from
his favorite poets, or run through a
speech that he has liked among the
roles he has played. None of them
seem appropriate. What does one
do?"
A constructive thinking woman in
the group around the table had a
thought.
why not do what Charles Boyer
did when he appeared on the Holly
wood caravan tour?" she suggested
What did he do?" Mr.. Heinreid
countered.
He just told his own story, of
himself and the war;" the lady said.
'and it was the most wonderful and
completely impersonal sounding
story ever heard"
MIR. Heinreid observed that it was
difficult thing to do, but he
thought he would try it.
But an actor without writer, he
still thought, was a fellow in a spot.
