IHEALTH HAZARDS TN INDUSTRIES
State Hygienist Visits Ideal Plant for Checknp;
 Recommends Devices

In the weekly broadcast Of the State Department of Health Allan I,. Coleman, Chief Industrial Hygien- ist of the Bureau of Occupational Diseases, conducted tour through an ideal metal products rnanufac- turing plant, ie. from Q health standpoint, pointing out il1stalla- lions and notifications adopted for the prevention of injury to the health of employees.
 The first department visited Is the machining or stamping of the metal stock into various familiar shapes. These operations require the use of a large quantity of cut- ting oils and compounds, and are Ia potential source of derrnatitis. The facilities, with good supply Of soap and hot water, are pointed out as being provided because of the necessity of cleanliness of workers in the prevention of dermatitis.
 Bufflng Department Following the metal products Tn the sequence of operations the guff- ing and grinding department Is visited. Here the rough edges of the products are ground off and @ smooth finish obtained. The facilities afforded here for prevent ing the escape of dust into the breathing atmosphere, such as hoods around buffing and grinding wheels. exhause ducts, fans. dust collectors, etc., are noted as very effective control means of removing the dust at its source of generation.
 The degreasing operations are next observed. The products are prepared here for e decorative and protective coat by being submerged in an organic solvent which removes any oils or greases adhering to the product. The careful design and modification for the prevention of dissemination of solvent vapors into the working atmosphere are indi- cated.
 The application of a protective or decorative coat is the next opera ton viewed. Here the product is finished by applying either a metal coat by eiectroplating or a lacqher finish by dipping or spraying. Ade- quate exhaust ventilation Is provided here with hoods over the chromium plating tanks, lacquer dipping tanks, and booths for spraying painting, all connected to an efficient exhaust system, to prevent the escape of mists and vapors into the breathing atmosphere.
 Such protective measures, as pointed out along the tour, are rec ognized by industry as of great im- p0rtance in the control of occupa- tional diseases and maintaining steady, uniform production. The Bureau of Occupational Diseases conducts surveys and studies in the many types of industries in the state for the purpose of preventing injury to health by the various toxic ma terials handled recommending installation of such protective de- vices as pointed out in MT. Cole. mans tour.

STATE

Ronald Colman in his splendid characterization of the daShine poet-rogue Francois Villon in the hit "If were King" has taken the town by storm, so much 50, that it Is necessary to hold over the entire show ct the Warner Bros. State theater 50 that everyone may have an opportunity of seeing this great star in his finest role.
 This program will conclude ita engagement with performances Thursday evening 50 If you intend to be among the thousands who have already enjoyed this great en- tertainment plan to attend as soon as possible.
 Basil Rathbone, Frances Dee and Ellen Drew are among the other stars who turn in perfect acting jobs. The large supporting cast in- cluded over two thousand players.
 On the same bill is the movie quiz hit Broadway Musketeers' starring Margaret Lindsay, Ann Sheridan, Marie Wilson and John Litel.
 The most exciting star combina- ton of decade will be seen togeth- or for the first time in the glorious love story "The Sisters" coming to the State, on Friday.
 These two stars are Errol Flynn and Bette Davis and when they're together there's boun dto be action and plenty of 1t. Besides this bril- liant star team the cast includes such notables as Anita Louise, Jane Bryan, Ian Hunter, Donald Crisp, Beulah Bondi, Henyr Travers, Alan Hale, Dick Foran, Patrick Knowles, Lee Patrick and many others.
 The story opens in the early nine- teen hundred, on the eve of Teddy Roosevelt's election. The many read- CTS of the novel will remember that the story Is concerned with the for- tunes of three beautiful sisters who start their lives in Q small Montana mining town, with most of the in- terest centered on the oldest sister, played by Miss Davis, who marries Q wandering newspaper man (the role taken by Flynn), and goes with him to San Fracnisco, where her life is 6 struggle for love and hap- piness against overwhelming odds. The other girls marry, respectively, Q rniddle-aged millionaire, and the town banker.
 Advance notices hail the star team of Flynn and Miss Davis as one of the most brilliant combina- tions in screen history, with their superb acting setting the tempo for the rest of the brilliant cast. The vigorous story, which gives e fas- cinating picture of American life in the early nineteen hundreds, Is said to be an ideal vehicle for them all.
 And in addition to this big hit picture the management will pre- sent Touchdown Army" with John Howard and Mary Carlisle in the co-starring leads. The picture is as exciting as the annual Army and Navy football game and you'll find 1t as thrilling as though you were sitting on the fifty yard line.
