However, jt is a time for pushing all constructive work and especially promising for architects, who will introduce the use of novel materials into home building. The signs warn that intrigue, misrepresentation- and double-deal- ing - will be widespread as spring advances. Plots against ships will multiply. Surp! s connected with foreign {naval movements are forecast. Per- ils for United States ships are in- dicated, but they will not result seriously at this time. Engineers will be in great de- mand and American men will serve under many flags. Spanish war volunteers in Madrid will precipi- tate diplomatic difficulties for the United States, it is prophesied. Warning is given that May willl be a time when Mars rising in the evening skies will arouse a desire, for adventure and will hasten mili- tary preparations abroad. War influences affecting the re- .

Children born on this day prob- ably will be practical, energetic and successful. Many of these sub- jects of Taurus have literary or ar- tistic talent. Edwin Markham, American poet, was born on this day 1852. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Thomas Nelson Page, author and diplomat, 1853; Arthur Far- well, composer, 1872: Stephen A. Douglas, statesman, 1813.
