JANE WITHERS I5 COMING TO
 10TH CENTURY

James Withers is growing up and her roles in the movies are growing with her. Ever since Jane scored such a tremendous success as the brat in

ROBERT TAYLOR,

 CAPITOL FEATURE

Told with a relentless honesty given striking dramatic imagery in the direction of Mervyn LeRoy and offering the best work by far of two of Metro-G Goldwyn- Mayors greatest box-office attractions -- Robert Taylor and Lana Turner Johnny Eager" comes to the Cap itol Theatre Sunday, as the most ongrossing portrait of gangster to reach the screen since the memor- able Little Caesar"
 From the very first moment in which Taylor, ex-convict posing as 8 reformed taxi driver, meets Miss Turner, daughter of the prosecu-
 or who had sent him to prison, the story holds a compelling fascina- ton as it weaves through the plot of the relentless gangster to enmesh the girl in faked murder, thus giving him the upper hand over his enemy, her father. It is only when he experiences a psychologi- cal change that a new man emergeS from the cold-blooded criminal who goes to his death after having accomplished the one unselfish act of his life.

COMMON HERRING.
(Culpea hnrengus.)

The common herring is the most
important food fish In the Atlantic.
IL not in the world. Now that fish
must take the place OF rationed
meat, more Americans are going
to find out what a fine food fish
the herring is. This fish is found
on both sides of the Atlantic, from
Norway to the Straits Of Gibraltar
On the eastern coat, and from Lab
rador to Cape Cod, and sometimes
to Cape Hatteras, on the western
coast.
Great fleets Of fishing boats and
many thousands Of men and women
are employed to take care Of this
vast industry Until the war, more
than SOC, 900 900 pounds were taken
every year. Today, most of this
fleet must be used to keep the sea
lanes free for our conveys and other
activities. Though we are hoping
for a greater catch of herring than
ever this year. old fishermen tell us
this will be impossible because Of
the lack Of boats and men.
It Is said that the herring has
more natural enemies than any 9TH
er fish. 1t is preyed upon by the
cod, pollock, haddock, silver hake,
mackerel and sharks The finback
whales devour them in vast numbers,
and the common squid destroys mil
lions of young herring.

But Nibbler said. No and urged
them not to 60. He might as we'll

right up in his mouth. There was

Easy Sale Of Residence Properly
In 1913 Predicted by Realtors

If you want to sell an aver
age size house in fair condition
it will be an easy job, but If you
have a shop on your hands, 1t
might stay there.
This is the 1943 outlook on real
estate demand as seen by the Ma
tional Association Of Real Estate
boards after completing a report
which included surveys from real
estate boards in 253 cities.
The war is going TO push selling
prices for residential property up
and drag business property prices
down this year in two out Of
every five cities, the association
said.
The report, which revealed that
real estate selling prices at pres
ent are holding to last years
levels in 90 per cent of the cities
and today are higher in half,
showed a marked under-supply Of
single-family dwellings and an
oversupply Of retail business
space.
Seyenty-three per cent Of the
cities, the report said, have too
few small homes and apartments
for the demand and ~ per cent
have too many empty business
buildings.

trumps on the left and freak dis

Wen, if you decided 70 lead
