I Well known motion picture actors and actresses took part. j : Ih connection with the picture and the safety precautions which it shows jare being taken by oil companies, it Js interesting to note that the general conception of danger of working in ! the oil fields is much over-rated.

Accident figures for several large cit ies show that It is four and one-half times more dangerous to walk tho city streets than to work in the oil fields. Requests for the loan of the film will be received and taken care of In the order of their receipt by Chester W. Brown, director of exploration and production, Union Oil company of California, 510 Union Oil Building, Los Angeles. Scientists Investigate Old Age in Agriculture CINCINNATI, Dec. 31.
