A driver delivering a ton of coal this fall got out of his truck to open the coal chute door and left the truck out of gear, with the motor running. The truck rolled down an incline and pin ned a woman against the house, killing her instantly. In Raleigh a few days ago, an oil truck driv er left his truck parked next to the curb while he ran into a drug store to get some cigarettes. The truck rolled off down the street, smashing into the side of a house. “Such accidents as these are utterly ineixcus£(ble,” Director Hocutt said, “and they are due entirely to the carelessness of the drivers.” “Parking properly is a thing so easy to do,” he said. “It is al ways advisable to cut off the mo tor and set the hand brake be fore leaving a parked vehicle. If parked on a downgrade, cut the front wheels into the curb; on an upgrade, cut the front wheels a way from the curb. Drivers of trucks should always chuck their wheels before leaving their trucks parked on an incline, because a hand brake can not always be de pended upon to hold a heavy truck. Even air brakes can not always be counted on to hold a truck parked on a grade, because there may be leaks.

Showings of the picture, the title of which it “The Magic Desert,” and ‘Vita min Elements in Plant Feeding,” will be made in all the Southern ■> States. The new picture is in two dis tinct parts. In the second portion of the film, the effects on crops of various plant food deficient cies are shown in natural colors. So far as is knowq, the new Natr | ur al Nitrate film is the first ipade | which actually identifies and | pictures these deficiencies just as they appear in plants in thd field. Thus the motion picture should help farmers to recognize the deficiency symptoms and con ditions in their own crops. “The Magic Desert” portion of the film, also entirely in natural color, shows new and interesting scenes in connection with the min ing, refining, transportation and use of Natural Chilean Nitrate. Highlights of this portion of the picture are photographs, this year, of crops growing in 4he 97th year of a continuous experi- | ment at the world famous Roth- 1 c'.nsted Experiment Station. Dur- i; mg the 97 years of continous crop- ij ping all the nitrogen in the fer-J| tilizezr used came from Natural's Nitrate of Soda. A striking battle with a giant marlin in the waters off the coast of Chile provides | thrills for sports lovers. State Managers for Chilean ?® Nitrate Educatinal Bureau, Inc. il are new arranging special ahomgji ings of the new picture to fano|| audiences, to groups of agrieufc|f tural workers, and to agents throughout the en|Sip| South.
