In choosing eolors for the COM
plexion. there's still another thing
to remember.
Everyone knows better
than to brave the seasick
shadows cast by a green
parasol.
But few persons realize that
many colors cast some reflection
on the skin.
In Hollywood. they hold a
swatch OF the fabric against a
piece of white paper to test it for
this. when doing a color film.
II 1t casts = reflection, You
yourself, must decide whether
YOU want that reflection or
not.
If it's not in your skin tones,
you don't want it. II will make
your skin look muddy, just as mix
ing too many paints gives a muddy
color.
Natural Coloring
We shall assume that you know
enough to have your lipstick Of
exactly the same tone as your
rouge but in deeper shade.
And both must tone in with the
natural coloring to avoid the
made-up coloring which went out
with the postwar flapper.
The aim is to look natural. Then
why make up? For a silly reason
because everyone else does.
Competition amongst the ladies
is the life of the cosmetic trade.
Napoleon considered a woman
undressed without rouge. 1t was
a convention then as it is now.
And any unconventional
move is conspicuous.
But It can be striking. We
wouldn't advise you to leave off

But we do advise certain skin
types to forego rouge the
swarthy skin. the pearly skin and
the white skin.
Rouge makes too great
contrast against these com
plexions, and so IL looks made
up. But the more contrast at
the lips, the better.
And so we advise scarlet lip
stick for the swarthy skin, dubon-
net for the pearly skin and out

ACCIDENT RATE ON
FARMS VERY HIGH
Ratio OF Accidental Deaths Is
Highest In Nation

Farming may not seem a hazard
Gus occupation. but accident studies
OF farms and other occupational
groups reveal higher ratio of acci-
dental deaths on the farm than else
where. IL a recent year. fatal acci-
dents in agriculture numbered 4.500
compared with 1890 in manufactur-
ing and $500 in construction aetivi-
ties
S. H. McCrory. of the United
States department of Agriculture.
vino has made study of farm acci-
dents, finds one reason they are
more serious is that the victim is
likely to be working alone. A fac
tory worker caught in a lathe usu-
ally has 6 fellow workman nearby
who can cut off the power. But
farmer caught in a power take-off
of a tractor. attacked by a bull, or
kicked by a horse. is likely to be
alone. Farm machinery manufac-
turers are equipping more and more
machinery with protective devices.
and the safety of old models may be
improved by having parts put or
them. says Mr. McCrory.
Among other causes which he
found conducive to farm accidents
are the need for haste in the rush
seasons. which often means working
after dark or with makeshift re-
pairs. and occasional attempts to
use homemade" electric wiring.
A recent study in Kansas of fatal
farm accidents showed that on the
average 29 per cent of the deaths
were caused by machinery. 20 per
cent by animals. 12 per cent by ex-
cessive heat, 8 per cent by vehicles.
8 per cent from falls. per cent by
lightning. and II per cent from other
causes.
