National Farm
Safety Week

As a part Of the National Farm
Safety Week program, July 1929,
the Department of Agriculture offers
some simple safety rules for women
and girls doing farm work for the
first time. In handling machinery:
read and follow instructions; stop
machine for all adjustments and re-
pairs, unhitch horses from machine
before making adjustments; wear
coveralls with no loose parts to
catch in the machine. Speak quietly
to animals when going close to them.
Wear gloves for rough work. When
sun is hot, wear a broad-brimmed
hat, dark glasses when needed and
if skin is tender use skin lotion. To
be sure you can do heavy work safely
get a medical check-up. Move lad
der often instead of stretching. In
lifting, use the knees and keep back
straight. Cleanse slight cuts and
scratches and cover with sterile ma
terial. Wear whole. clean stockings
and well-fitted shoes with low, level
heels. Eat three well-planned meals
each day. When perspiring freely,
use one-eighth to one-fourth tea
spoonful of salt to each glass OF
drinking water. When hours are long
and the work is hard, eat a mid
morning and mid-afternoon snack

Greer Carson Superb
In BromfieId's 'Parkinston
BY IRMENGARD PoHRT

A LOT of people will go to see
Mrs. Parkington" at the United
Artists and remember IL with
pleasure mainly because II has
Greer Carson doing such a terrific
job in the title rold.
This lovely "Mrs.H OF the screen
plays a woman at Various stages
in her life, fromItS TO the "a
mark, with understanding and
maturing grace. AS young Susie
Graham, a boom town girl, she is
capricious, as a millionaire's bride
in New York for the first time, APP
pealing. happy and wide-eyed. and
as a great-grandmother. inscruta-
bly, wise.
II the story were not already
hers, Miss Carson would undoubt-
eddy have made II so anyway, for
hers Is an accomplished art, ready
for any demand which might be
made. Well look for her once
more in the year's-end list OF
bests.
SHE WEEPs BUCKETS
As for Mr.. Bromfield's story, II
is probably unwise TO say much,
for Mrs. Parkington" has already
proven itself a favorite. And yet
IL seems that much which the es-
teemed lady does smacks OF the
unreal. of that which humans just
don't do.
For instance. Susie doesn't shed
a tear when her mother is killed
