NEW BULLETIN GIVES HELP
IN FIGHTING FARM FIRES

In fighting fires on the farm, 1.-The
first five minutes are most impOr-
tant" says Jack F. Bell agriculture
al engineer for the Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service. Five
minutes or less may be all the time
you have TO rescue the family, to
send out the alarm, and to fight the
fire before it gets beyond control.
Every farm needs Il pratical fire
fighting plan, says Mr.. Bell, and
every member of the family should
understand it. The plan should pro-
vide for removal of all persons to
safety, prompt signalling for help,
fighting a small fire effectively be-
fore it spreads, protecting other
buildings, livestock and property,
and fighting the fire with neighbor-
hood cooperation.
Fire losses on farms in 1916 may
reach $4,000, 900, according to pre-
sent reports. Wooden buildings and
large quantities of cOmbustible ma
terial increase fire hazards on
use of electrical equipment, trucks,
tractors, engines, and other power
equipment The isolated nature of
farms and their distances from the
fire companies, plus the lack of
adequate water supply, makes the
fighting of farm fires difficult.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture has just issued a manual that
suggests ways in which farm people
can make best use of skill, man.
power and equipment to fight fires.
This manual brings out the funda-
mentals on preparation and equip
ment, and illustrates with many
drawings how to do the essential
things quickly. Copies of this pub
lication, Fire Fighting on Farms
are available from the Extension
Service of the University of Deia-
ware, Newark.

Break In Prices
OF Farm Produce
BY CLARKE BEACH

WASHINGTON-DOes the recent
break in prices of farm products
signal the start of the widely pre-
dicted business recession?
The general level of farm prices
declined nearly 6 percent in late
November and early December. ac-
cOrding to Agriculture Department
statistics. Between Oct. Is and
Nov. Is. moreover. the departments
index number of average prices
received by farmers dropped from
2.73 to 2.63.
In addition. quotations on flu
lures are in many cases far below
the current prices. indicating that
traders expect prices to continue
their downward trend.
But Economists Differ
Some economists have predicted
that 4 consumer reaction against
high prices would cause a break
start a chain of events which would
develop into Il downward business
spiral
When the demand dropped,
they reasoned, producers and dis
tributOrS would retrench and fire
lot of employees. AS unemplOy-
ment grew, consumer demand
would continue to diminish, sellers
would have to retrench still fur
ther. and the spiral would be well
started
But economists at the Agricul-
ture Department see no such
significance in the drop in farm
. prices. They regard it rather as 8
healthy development, needed ad-
justment. Prices have been un'
justiiably high, they believe, an(
they are settling to a more realis-
tic level.

Opaque Cream Base Hides Scar Tissue
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Men as well as women turn to makeup today to conceal defects which if left uncovered might put them into the ranks of the unem- ployable.
 I refer to a makeup, especially created to conceal scars from in- juries, X-ray burns, Vtiligo, and other embarrassing blemishes. For this purpose an opaque, flesh-toned foundation cream is used to dress the face in an undetectable make up, not a mask.
 This foundation, which far trans cends its cosmetic function, had its origin in the tragic bitterness of its maker. After she discovered that the cream which she had formulat- cd would conceal successfully hel own birthmark, she made career of helping other people conceal their disfigurements.
 One version of the foundation cream perfected is waterproof and can be used on any part of the body The wearer can swim or engage in any active sport, and know that the makeup is safe.

POLL

Playing today and tomorrow at the L,oew-Poli Theater is the widely heralded Limitation of "Drankon- wyck," Anya Seton's famous best seller. The stars of this unusual film drama are Gene Tierney, Vim cent Price, Walter Huston and Gleen Langan. Miss Tierney Is seen i1- the role of Miranda, wistful and sensitive country girl gripped in the power of a secret love that leads 10 rapture and terror. Supporting ner in featured roles are Walter Huston as Genes stern and stub- born father; Price as the egomara- iacal master of Dragonwyck; and Langan as young Dr. Jeff Turner.
 The second attraction is the re- conversion drama, Johnny Comes Flying Home", starring Richard Crane, Faye Marlowe and Martha Stewart.
 Starting Wednesday is the spicy film "The Diary of a Chamber lnaid". Based on the French novel it stars Paulette Goddard with Bur- gess Meredith, Hurd Hatfield and Francis Lederer.
 Meredith, fresh from a great per- sonal triumph playing Ernie Pyle in 'The Story of G. I. Joe," took on not only an exacting chore of acting in the film but functioned as co-producer and script writer as well.
 Four swains try to make passes at Paulette in this sprightly film. There's a lot of comedy, lot of solid drama, and a flavoring of tragedy during the process. "The Ddary of a Chambermaid" seems to have been made to order for Miss Goddard, who brings charm and the gay insouciance of youth to the role of Celestine. In fact, every char acter in this vivid drama is played to perfection and it is nice to be able to report that the producing team of Bogeaus and Meredith have definite hit on their hands.
 The companion feature is the mystery thriller, Crime of the Gen. tury", starring Michael Browne and Stephanie Bachelor.

Hollywood. May 13-The curren studio practice of keeping importan pictures on the shelf for one, two or even three years before releasing them may be good insurance against labor strikes, but it's cer. tainly complicating lot of stellal careers.
 On the one hand, there are dog. ems of stars who are not being per. mitted to reap the rewards they were entitled to expect from out standing roles. Robert Aida is 6 good example. Since signing hi; contract with Warner Brothers, he'' played top man in six pictures enough, had they all been released to make him ap audience favorite and definitely establish his claims to stardom. But only two of his pie lures have been seen by the public, consequently there has been little fan clamor in his behalf. Another example is the Mexican star, Esther Fernandez, imported in 1914 for Paramount'S 1.-TWO Years Before The Mast" Insiders say that her performance is "colossal"-but the picture is still on the studio shelf, and Senorita Fernandez, deprived of 8 showcase for her talents, has long since returned to Mexico.
 On the other hand, certain stars have suffered from too many re- leases in too short a time. Ingrid Bergman is an example Spell bound," Saratoga Trunk" and Bells of St. Mary's," produced months apart, were released almost simultaneously. And that's bad, for fans are very apt to get Surfeited with a too steady diet of any one star.

I the second feminine lead of 'The Red House." and Producer Al Lesser is offering odds that she's going to be a star.
 There's a scene in Paramount's ''The Perils of Pauline" which called for Billy de Wolff to hang by his arms from the basket of @ bal- loon, suspended 50 feet above the earth. He refused the double offered by the studio, proudly did the stunt himself-and then the gagsters took over. Everyone on the lot has made it a point to loudly doubt that he actually did it, and the members of the troupe who saw the filming of the scene have unanimously refused to back up his story. It takes a real philosopher to bear up under treat ment of that kiAd and de Wolff, judging from the annoyance he's beginning to show, not philos- opher.
 George Burns and Oracle Allen applied the other day for permit to add a downstairs bedroom and bath to their Beverly Hills home, and behind their application is a story that does them credit. Being unable to hire an adequate staff of servants during the war, they rented part of their servants quar- ters to a homeless veteran and his wife. Now, with plenty of household help available, they haven't the heart to ask their tenants to move so they're building an additional room for the new servants.
