Farm women in the twenty-six Kentucky counties having home demonstration agents are cooperating in a program to develop and demonstrate the possibilities in beautiful farm home lawns. Twenty to thirty-five women in each county will this year improve their lawns according to suggestions made by the home demon-tration agent and Mr. Elliott, who says: Clean Off Lawns "The first step in' the program will be cleaning the lawn of trash and rubbish. This is followed with filling in low places with soil or sod. Seel is then sown and the lawn rolled.

This may be done with a farm, roller where the lawn is dry enough to prevent mules sinking into the soil. "The seed mixture recommended consists of 4 parts of Kentucky Muegrass and one part of redtoi by weight. It is considered wise to sow in March and again in Apnl in order to be sure the first seed was not killed by late freez-ng." Mr. Elliott stresses the sodding i Washington, March 2S.

By DAX THOMAS Hollywood, March 28. Five new faces, all belonging to potential screen stars, are beginnirg to glimmer faintly but promisingly in the cinema heavens.

The faces of all five girls will glow more brightly in the very near future, according to executives of the Paramount studio where they are und6r contract. The girls were signed to long-term contracts with an eye toward grooming them for stardom more or less as a result of "Warner Brothers stealing Ruth Chattertop, William Powell and Kay Francis frcm the Paramount This act of AVarners', in violation to the so-called "gentlemen's agreement" which has existed among producers here for sevrral years, put Paromount in a spot They had to have more names on their roster. Two roads were open. Tir.ey could entice established piay-ers from other studios or they could build prospective youngsters into new stars. The latter coa'so was chosen with the result that Sylvia Sidney, Carman Barnes, Wynne Gibson, Tallulah Eankhead and Juliette Compton now have long-term contracts.

Where Tliey Came From One of the newcomers already is a film star in her own right in England. Three of them have been the legitimate stape and have had a little screen experience. The fifth has had no experience on either stage or screen. Juliette Compton the English star who is being groomed for a similar position in American films. Miss Compton's start in the show world was made on the New York stage in "The Kiss Burglar Following that she spent a season as a Ziegfleld Follies beauty and then went to England where she played on the legitimate stage in several shows before motion pictures claimed her.

For nearly five years Miss Compton starred for both British International and British Dominion productions. About, a year ago she came io- Hollywood to make her cebut in the talkies. Her four pictures to dr.te indicate that 't will not be long until leading roies are handed to her.

AVynne's Bad Lurk Wynne Gibson claims that if she ever attains screen stardom it will he due to the fact that she played in so many "flop" shows on the stage. "Because the shows 'flopped' so quickly I had considerable training in a great variety of roles, entire weight of her first production on her own shoulders is asking quite a lot.

Sylvia From Stage Sylvia Sidney's first attempt to crash the movies started and ended very' quietly without any fuss being made over her. After a very successful stage career, she came to the film capital and played in one picture, "Thru Different Eyes." when other offers did not follow, she returned to the footlights again. It was on the actress' second entrance into the motion picture world that genuine luck was with her. Only a few days after her arrival in Hollywood, Clara Bow's physician ordered her to take a month's rest. "City Streets," in which Clara and Gary Coopei were to be co-starred, was Just about to go into production.

Studio officials didn't feel that they could hold up production on the tery" of this quintet a mystery because as yet nobody knows what she can do. Although only 18 years of age, Carman already has written two novels "School Girl" and "Beau Lover." As a resul of those books she was signed bv Paramount as a writer, but upon her arrival here somebody thought she should be an actress. A test was made and Carman became a film star. Miss Barnes' case is a perfect example of the idiosyncrasies of Hollywood. Because she made good as a novelist she was made a film star without anyone knowing what she can or cannot do as an actress.

In my opinion this act of the Paramount executives is s(arting the girl out under a terrific handicap. She seems to have possibilities as a star if she first were given the proper "buildup" in three or four supporting roles. But to make her carry the born.

Her appearances, however, were made solely on the legitimate stage and It is said that she achieved more success on the London stage than any other American actress. It was her work there in "The Green Hat" and "Let Us Be Gay'' that netted her her present contract and launched her upon a new career.
