. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Turning Seq Fowl Into Nitrogen

r ONG before the Spaniards de- - scended on South America the Peruvians knew the value of guano as fertilizer. Probably as early as the 18th century the 1ncas carefully collected these ex- crementitious deposits of the peli- cans, cormorants, gannets, pen- guins and petrels along the coasts and islands. Frequently they found these deposits contained the remains of the sea fowl themselves as well as of seals, walruses and other animals.
 Alexander von Humboldt first brought specimens of guano to Europe in 1904 and had them analysed. The guano consisted essentially of nitrogenous and phosphatic compounds. Certain of the Peruvian guanos contained as high as IA per cent of nitrogen. The most noted deposits of guano are those of Chincha and other islands off the coast of Peru.
 So guano became the first arti-. ficial fertilizer to be used in large quantities, and the remarkable re- suits obtained established the in- dustry. It reached its height, how ever, about the middle of the last century. Guano beds have de- clined since, and other fertilizers have been introduced. Today, from the islands in the Pacific, Peru obtains about l50,000 tons of guano annually. The industry is marked here on a Peruvian postage stamp portraying the guano sea fowl.

enitentiary," at Capitol, Filled with Action,
 Romantic Thrills

Grim in implications but unfold ing a poignant romance of young love on a prison threshold, the tense. dynamic drama. "Peniten- tiary' is ending the run at the Capitol Theatre tonight Here is one drama of the prison world that { does not lean on the usual jail- break for thrills. It is the story of a different sort of jailbreak a psychological one.
 "Penitentiary" shows the escape from moral disintegration of a young prisoner undergoing a severe punishment for an accidental crime. Not only convicts, but a girl and the warden himself are accomplices to the escape"
 How John Howard is retrieved from the dispaif of sordid surround ings by Walter Connolly, the man instrumental in his conviction; how, as a trusty, daily contact with the warden'S daughter inspires patience in the wait before he can tackle life with new interest; how crime hardened mpanions respect youthful integrity when he stands fast by the code" of the Big House though it shatter hopes-these are the dramatic circumstances from which Director John Brahm has fashioned an inspiring tale.
 No one but Walter Connolly could bring out the wallop in the 1 private drama of the ambitious | warden and his decision to wreck | his own career rather than let the man his daughter loves be crushed i by the law. John Howard has his | greatest dramatic opportunity since | Lost Horizon" As the oppressed | hero with long-awaited freedom within grasp, yet ready to forsake 1t rather than break faith with his involuntary companions, he deliv- ITS his most memorable perform inceS, Sincerity shines through Jean parker's loveliness and makes u c hing ly understandable h Q growth of her love for the convict.
