OUTDOOR FILM
 SHOWING NOW AT TWENTIETH
''Parson of Panaminf, " Powerful Western
 Drdme Here

Starting with a mob fight in San Francisco and winding up in a blaze of six-gun law and a roping party, "The Parson of Panamint,' Paramount's newest outdoor thriller is now at the goth Century The atre.
 It's Peter B. Kyne yarn filled with action, suspense and romance Far from being just another routine westeiner, the film contains pow erful drama and meaty characteri- zations of life in the old west.
 Panamint, a ghost town today was once a thriving goldrush cen Ire bustling with greed, sin and murder. Inspired by Chuckawalla Bill, bewhiskered Mayor and found- CT of Panamint, a newly ordained parson tackled the job of bringing brotherly love to the crawling min ing community. With flying fists for the evil and baskets of food for the poor, the parson fought to protect the humble from their op- pressors and the sinners from sin ming.
 Colorfully filmed against the background of the original site of Panamint, the ghost town" was reconstructed by Producer Harry Sherman to appear as it did short ly before the turn of the century when men trekked across the wild erness to struggle for gold.

STEVENSON HORROR FILM
 AT CAPITOL
''Dr. JekyII, MT. Hyde Is Pictured by Spen-
 Ger Tracy

The role of the sadistic Mir Hyde alter ego of Dr. Jekyll in Robert Louis Stevenson's gripping novel "Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde" which opened yesterday at the Capitol has been one of the most sought after parts in stage and screen his tory.
 What did Dr. Jekyll really look like when he swallowed his mystic potion and was transformed into the cruel and venomous Hyde? How did Stevenson himself visualize the character? The best descrip- ton of this comes from the novel itself, from the character known as Enfield.
 He is not easy to describe,' says Enfield to MT Hyde. There is something wrong with his appear ance; something displeasing, some- thing downright detestable. I nev- CT saw a man I so disliked, and yet I scarcely know why. He's an extraordinary looking man, and yet I can really make nothing out of the way. No sir, I can make no hand of it! can't describe him.
 In Metro-Goldwn- Mayors picturi- zation of the novel, o-starring Spencer Tracy, Lana Turner and Ingrid Bergman, new features have been introduced

Book Points 10 Variety
In Nova Scotia S Scenes

~It has often occurred to me that
four travellers could spend summer
in Nova Scotia, each seeing a diff
ferent part of it only and be not IS
miles apart" says Dorothy Duncan
IN her new book, "Bluenose: A Por-
trait of Nova Scotia"
IF they compared notes when
they returned to wherever they came
from-each describing accurately
what he had SCENT could easily
sound as though all four were talk
ing Of places thousands Of miles
from one another that had nothing
whatever in common.
"One of them might claim that
Nova Scotia was exactly like Finland
in it's terrain Another might re-
member it as long valley of fruit
trees undulating gently between two
sheltering walls of low mountains,
bathed in sunlight most of the time
and rarely experiencing high wind.
A third might liken the part of the
province he knew to Denmark or
old Hampshire, where rolling fields
of red earth merge with the red
sand of tidal estuaries. And the
fourth would be convinced that Nova
Scotia is exactly like the Scottish
Hebrides, gray and stark and fog
bound most of the time.
In a degree and according to
what he had seen. each would be
right, and each would also doubtless
be convinced that the others were
possessed of too-colorful imagina-
tions brought into use for the
amusement Of friends"

pected. to use a mixture of super
phosphate and potash.
Anticipating such shortage, the
Department of Agriculture has in
sisted that farmers plant more
legumes as cover crop. Not only
do these plants help prevent ero-
sion but they endow the soil with
the nitrogen so vital for crops that
later are planted in the same field.
May Lift Ban In Spring.
Thomas E. Milliman, head of the
agricultural chemistry unit of WPB,
explained that the order was de-
signed to save nitrogen fertilizer for
the Nations food and fiber crops
of 1943, indicating the ban would be
lifted in time for spring planting.
The nitrogen shortage is not des-
perate. he said, but the Government
did not wish to take any chances.
He said there was no prohibition
on the use of organic nitrogen.
Such nitrate is now being extracted
from soy beans and cotton bean
meals, leather scraps and even the
remains from tobacco stalks.
The phosphate-potash mixture, he
claimed, works practically as well"
as preparations containing these two
products and nitrogen
In one respect, Maryland farmers
who are heavy planters of tobacco
are fortunate. This crop requires
little nitrogen fertilizer.

locked salmon may be new: Mrs.
Jack Williams, the demonstrator,

she pours boiling hot water on the
skin. The water dissolves the fat

fllleting the fish with a knife, she
runs the first two fingers between
the fish's backbone and the flesh
This forces the small bones out of
place so that the resulting flllet is
absolutely free of bones. A Maine
Development Commission aide con-
cedes that the method might not
work on all fish, but that it seems to
be worthy of trying.

One large fertilizer concern in
Prince Georges County, Md. in
formed its customers yesterday that
chemical nitrogen preparations
would not be available, except for
truck gardeners, for the rest of the
year.
Herbert Bryant, head of another
large company in Alexandria, Va,
said he had not sold nitrate ferti-
lizers since August /. He estimated
that several thousand tons remained
on hand in his plant.
Sales Curbed by WPB
The War Production Board last
month ordered stoppage of the
sale and manufacture of nitrogen
based fertilizers to all but truck
gardeners preparing 1912 crops. The
move was taken to conserve existing
stocks of nitrate. Much of our nj
trate comes from Chile, and the
shipping crisis in the Western At
Iantlc has forced the move, it was
explained.
The order also affects urban resi-
dents as such fertilizer cannot he
used on lawns, flower gardens, trees
golf courses and the like.

this area, as farmers have depended
on fertilizers containing some nj
trogen in their fall planting. Wheat
is among crops requiring nitrogen.
