SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Burns and Scalds Constitute
One-FOurth of All Injur-
les Received in Home
LIST OTHER ACCIDENTS

Burns and scalds constitute
about one-fourth of all injuries re-
ceived in the home, according to
the Delaware Safety Council. Al
most so per cent involve children
under fifteen years of age. Match
es in the hands of young children
present a hazard often neglected.
The use of metal match boxes
placed out of childrens' reach
largely removes theis hazard. In
many homes gasoline and similar
fluids frequently are used for
cleaning purposes. This practice,
particularly indoors, is considered
unusually hazardous as heat or
friction may cause fire or ex-
plosion. ChiIdrens' curiosity con
corning the contents of pots and
pans on stoves sometimes results
in serious burns. Most accidents
of this kind may be prevented by
placing utensils and handles out
of childrens' reach. The danger
from CRATE fires is reduced by the
use Of protective screens. Not
only are the flying sparks arrest
ed but personal contact with
flames or heated fixtures also is
avoided. Quite often fatal acci-
dents occur when children play
unsupervised near open flames.
Teaching children to avoid stoves,
fireplaces and bonfires helps over
come such accident possibilities.
Numerous injuries occur in homes
through carelessness in handling
tools, cutlery and other articles
having sharp or jagged edges.
Many of these injuries affect chill
dren who disregard or do not
know the dangerous nature of
these objects. Small scissors with
blunt edges are considered far
safer for the use of children than
those with long, pointed blades.
Bottles, sharp knives and pointed
tools should be excluded from
childrens' play and instruction
given regarding the danger Of
running with sharp or pointed OBJ
jects or placing them in the
mouth. Broken glass, cans with
jagged edges, discarded razor
blades and similar materials plac-
ed with ordinary household waste
frequently causes serious injuries.
Appropriate containers or other
means for the safe disposal of
such materials are important. In
juries frequently result from the
use of improper, worn or make
shift tools or the use of tools for
unintended purposes. Pins and
needles placed on chairs or other
pieces of furniture unnoticed
tacks, nails and splinters protrud-
ing from boards often cause pune
ture wounds which, if neglected,
frequently become infected.

And in her hurry to be modern,
when she meets a playboy, engag-
ed to be married to one of her
clients, she throws over the code
of the generation past, willing to
take the consequences, if anything
goes wrong. And things do go
wrong. The boy, like others of
his class, considers her but a tenn
porary interest, and when he tires
of her, despite promises of mar
riage, he goes back to his finance,
prepared to give up the other girl.
A strong, stirring situation de-
velops when she comes to his
country home, originally furnished
for her, Historically carrying a
gun, prepared to make him keep
his promise.

Friday and Saturday = Zane
Grey's Under the Tonic Rim, .
latest of his action-romances to
be filmed, with Stuart Erwin, Fred
Kohler, Raymond Hatton and
Verna HilIie in the leading roles.
The picture is the story of Erkin,
a cowboy who just can't do any
thing right. Finally convinced
that he can't make the grade, he
follows the advice of two wily
cronies and invests a little money
he has inherited in hog raising
enterprise. But the work dis
gusts him; he longs for the plains.
His cronies sensing something
wrong, and convinced that he
needs a woman to look after him,
inveigle him to a border saloon.
and there unknown to him, spread
the report that he's a notorious
desperate. This brings women
f1ocking to him; sends men sour
rying away. But he is soon ex-
posed, and the daughter of his
former boss, who had been deeply
impressed by his synthetic reputa-
tion, turns upon him in scorn. Her
scorn has the effect of making the
worm turn at last.
Monday and Tuesday, 'Disgrac-

fight for love with honor. Helen
Twelvetrees, wistful blonde star, is
cast in the leading role, with

heading the supporting cast.
"Disgraced" tells the intriguing
story of beautiful girl dress
model at an exclusive couturier's.
There she meets the rich younger
set whose standards of living are
considerably less rigid than those
of the previous generations. From
them the girl gets ideas for living,
a code that discards inherited
manners and at the same time the
morals of the generation past
Helen Twelvetrees is splendid as
the little dress model, working for
an exclusive courturier, who gets
notions of life from the upper set
with whom she comes in contact.

Farley's Name Costs
Taxpayers $4,000
BY w. S. BRUCkART

Washington.-Post Master Gen
eral James A. Farley's name is
going to cost the taxpayers of
the country some $4,000, about
which there was no advance
planning or codes or something. It
comes about in this fashion: The
new building that is to house the
Post Office department will have
a couple of gigantic blocks of
stone near its entrance on which
are engraved the names of all
postmasters general since the
first. The contract for these two
engraved stones, was let during
the administration of President
Hoover, so that the last name on
the list was Walter f. Brown of
Ohio. But along came a change
in administration and also a new
head of the Post Office depart
ment, and his name had to be in
cluded.
The two great stones carried
an equal number of names when
they were shipped from the In
diana quarry. To include the
name Of Mr.. Farley, the names
on one stone have had to be
shaved off because they exactly
filed the space. They are now
being relocated in somewhat
closer proximity to each other 50
that Mr.. Farley's name may be
placed in the list. The contrac-
tors said that the cost was ap-
proximately $4,000.

BLUE SUNOCO DEPENDABLE
w. j. Rdope, District Manager.
Tells of Public Preference FOB. TT


In both my social and busi-
ness contacts" says Mr.. w. j.
Roope, the Sun Oil Company's
branch manager, 'I am tremend-
ously impressed with a very sig
niticant fact, and that is that
wherever L go people, men and
women, too, are asking me ques-
tlons concerning Blue Sunoco mo-
tor fuel, and some of these oues-
t1ons are very intelligent. 1t sur
prises me to see the great interest
that motorists of both sexes take
these days in both gasoline and
motor oil. The interesting thing. .
continued Mr.. Roope, sis that I
always get the impression that
Blue Sunoco is frequently used as
basis of comparison when ques-
dons or discussions turn to gaso-
line. 1 am compelled to admit, of
course, that some gasolines NAV
equal Blue Sunoco in one or more
of Blue Sunoco's qualities: but
Blue Sunoco seems to stay on the
heights of public preference be-
cause it does all the things a gas
oline should do and does them day
in and day out in the same de-
pendable, uniform way. Further
more, may business and social
friends for the most part agree
that almost every motorist would
be thoroughly satisfied every time
and all the time were every gaso-
line the equal of Blue Sunoco."

WHEAT AGREEMENT
ASKEDBY BENNETT
Canadian Premier at World
Conference Suggests Cut
in Acreage Crop.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 15-Prine Minister
r. B. Bennett of Canada told the World
Economic Conference today that the
only way to deal with the vast wheat
surplus is by international agreement.
prices In (primary) products have
fallen lower even than the disastrous
level of general commodity prices" Mr..
Bennett said, land we are now con-
fronted with an accumulation of stocks
which we must dispose of by exercising
some provisional control over produc-
tion.
Suggests Acreage Cut.
sIn the case of wheat, the accumu-
lated carrvover of 350,000,000 bushels
can be effectively dealt with only by
international agreements involving
possible reduction of the acreage crop
until the abnormal carryover which
continues. to depreSS the market mas
been disposed of.
In this regard the statement OF the
chancellor of the exchequer that the
worlds greatest wheat importing coun-
try (the United Kingdom) recognizes
the necessity for such action, is most
reaSsuring.
"It is a matter of record that with
each fall in the price of wheat many
of the principal wheat-import1ng coun-
tries have raised their tariffs against
its importation, strengthened their re-
strictive systems and devised new de-
fensive measures which, by diminishing
the effective demand for wheat, have
first of all aggravated and then perpet-
uated the disastrous fall in price, which
may in the first instance be attributed
to the phenomenal harvests of 1928.
Asks Definite Program.
"And we would suggest that the i'm
porting countries should give their Sc
rious consideration to the feasibility OF
enlarging their demand for wheat
simultaneously with the producing
countries contraction Of the available
supply.
In this way new equilibrium could
be reached more speedily and with less
dislocation of established interests than
If the process of adjustment were con-
fined to the reduction of supply"
Asserting that Canada agreed for the
period of the conference that the tariff
truce should be maintained Mr.. Bennett
said that it should be superseded in
few weeks by definite program of re-
ductionS in tariff levels.
