Dedicated to Melbourne Johns, the hero ol the epic tale, this screen reconstruction ot nl adventures has much of the thrill and understatement of real drama. Compiled from the true facts by novelist J. BV Priestley, the film story commands attention throughout, but it does not always completely capture the imagination.

0 On the Land MOULD-RESISTING TOMATO Variety From Canada Claims made in Canada, and Great Britain that a variety of glass-house tomato has been evolved highly resistant ii to mould art)' supported by a New South Wales grower who, this season, has carried 2,000 plants through without disease. The variety Is Vetomold, and the grower Mr. W. Robertson Brown, who farms in the Robertson district, of the Southern Highlands. In the fight against mould often wrongly termed "mildew" by growers Mr.

Brown said, new varieties had been evolved from time to time, but none had proved really resistant until Vetomold came along. This year he had been, able to secure half an ounce of seed, end from that had raised more than 2.00D plants. -The fruit he described as "big, globular vermilion clusters, unsurpassed In texture and flavour." At five and a half months old the plants were nine feet high, and each carried eight to ten trusses of fruit Only by the most diligent search was he able to find a speck ot mould on anv of them. Yet a few control plants of Potentate variety Interspersed throughout the glass-house were all more or less severely smitten by mould. No disease ot any other kind appeared on the plants.

Mr. Brown said, although no fungicide was used. Nor were the leaves ever wet. all the watering being done by furrow Irrigation. As a base manure, compost consisting of tomato haulms, garden vegetation, and kitchen garbage, with a liberal proportion of wood ashes, was employed.

The seed was sown in situ. OTHER EXPERIENCE A grower at Toongabble. Mr. H. G.

Glllham. said he had Imported the original Vetomold seed from Canada, and was satisfied that it produced the best Intermediate type tomato in Australia. He had not found it immune to mould, but It certainly had a much higher resistance than any other variety. Mr. A.

D. Macfarlane. of North-mead, said he had had some experience of Vetomold under ordinary cultivation, and had found it almost im mune to mould in the early part of the season, but subject to disease from the end ot October onward. TOO MUCH PASPALUM So prolific has been the season on the New South Wales north coast that paspalum grass, the normal standby oi tne dairying industry, nas got com pletely out of hand In many centres. Much of It is too tall and dry to have any immediate feed value, and a great deal of tne seed is ergot-infested.

"Where no labour Is available to conserve It, the only remedies now are the mower and a match," said the central coast agricultural instructor, Mr. J. M. Pitt. But fire is safe only where it can be effectively controlled 900 HORSES SOLD ALBURY.

The best annual horse sale for 20 years has just been con eluded. More than 900 head were sold within two davs. Top price was paid tor a thoroughbred bark, which brought 80. A brown pony sold for 44. Many other horses changed hanri at well over 30.

i CURRENCY TALK IN LONDON Post-War Problems LONDON, March 7 (A.AJ.). General feeling respecting the official release of the news that an inter-Allied currency; confer ence has been held in. London Is that It-indicates to wards substantial agreement on currency arrangements in Europe after the war. Banking quarters, are In clined to write down, the Importance ot agreements arrived at with emigre aovernmenu which would hot be blndlnsr until ratified alter the war. They are also Inclined to criticise Treasury secretiveness on discussions already held.

Authoritative Quarters take It for granted that the main subject under discussion was the mechanism ol ex change after the war and believe that the purpose ot the latest negotiations was to extend the scope of Lord Keynes's plan for international exchange clearing. This plan was submitted to the Dominions last year. but no details were published. The Chancellor of the Exchequer. air Kinvslev Wood, recently hinted that Lord Keynes's plan aims at ruling out loreign exenange specu.

lation in short-teim capital move- ments, which in the past have often imposed considerable strain on the currencies affected and were, In fact. Immediately responsible for forcing sterling on gold in wax. RECIPROCAL SISTEM Financial opinion is canvasslna further the possibility of some recipro cal currency system wnereDy curren cies weakened Dy special circum stances, such as the failure of an im portant crop in a predominantly agricultural economy, would be temporarily assisted by countries more favourably situated. Experts point out that an essential feature of such a clearing: scheme would be the willingness the participating countries to make a partial sacrifice of autonomy over their currency, tarifr, and public works policies. Experts doubt if the advantages offered outweigh the political obstacles.

Any arrangement will have to satisfy the United States on the role of gold in the post-war monetary system in view of that country's enormous Interest in the maintenance of gold as a monetary medium. There seems to De no uxennooa oi ira extreme anti-eold school of thought holding sway. One idea now being discussed is that America may "lend-lease" some of her surplus gold after the war to Continental countries which at present have little or no goia.

Trickery and dishonest methods are being practised on such a large scale by German and Austrian aliens in Australia escape taxation that the investigation staff of the Commissioner of Taxation is to be considerably enlarged to deal with the evaders. Cases that have already come to light reveal extreme ingenuity by war icfugees. The Investigating officers, it was Mated by a Treasury spokesman on Saturday, had experienced much difficulty in running down offenders.

Many of them had arrived in Australia with large liquid assets, and, after Investing their capital In profitable enterprises, had failed to notify the Taxation Department. One alien business was found to he keeping its books in five languages, and as a result, an order has been issued compelling the keeping of books in English. Other dishonest aliens have taken the simple course of failing to submit returns. Another trick practised on a large scale is to conduct all business on a cash basis, and in this way hide the volume of transactions and the profits. REGISTRATION OF NURSES Scope Explained The Director-General of Manpower, Mr.

Wurth, said on Saturday that many inquiries had been received concerning the scope of the nurses registration order. "The order compelling nurses to fill in a form and return it to the Deputy Director-General of Manpower before March 24 Includes all nursss, married or single, under the age of SO, other than those now In the Forces," said Mr. -Wurth. "It Includes nurses employed In public hospitals or private hospitals, in rest homes or other nursing institutions, whether married or single, whether retired, no matter how many years ago, or whether now engaged In some other occupation.

M. Sir, Surely it should be within the nniver ns it Is within, the Drovince. of the Federal Government, to call a halt to the anarchy of sections 01 organised labour? These disloyalists who may be comparatively few In number, hut ar obviously strong in Influence are not only defying, the Government; they are disobeying the commands of their officials. They have set themselves Up as dictatorships within businesses, refusing duty, practising absenteeism in a deplorable degree, ana rejecting sincere approaches by "the bosses" for establishment 1 of better understanding leading to greater co-operation In the interests of tne nation. Loval workers are being subjected openly to threats when they express wisn to reason more ana argue icss, nroduca more and allow "obiectlvcs" to rest until the job of winning the war ties been completed.

qluMER. "AIR CHIEF" AUSTRALIA'S FINEST CAR RADIO NATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE. SERVICE CO. There is exciting episode, never overdone, poignant tragedy, mag- nincent atmospnere, Due an inherently' highly dramatic adventure has had to emerge on the screen, as balanced entertainment. So we have an American girl (Intelligently portrayed by Constance Cummings) winning the heart of the-foreman and comedian Tommy Trinder and a Scots lad (Gordon Jackson)- furnishing some very bright, and never, too obtrusive, comedy during a Journey fraught with constant peril.

Despite all this the picture manages to convey much ol what really did happen and is well worth seeing. (Lyceum Theatre.) ''THE FOREST RANGERS" Lavishly exploiting with technt-colour the vivacity and beauty of Paulette Goddard and Susan Hay-ward and the terrifying spectacle of blazing redwood forests, Paramount' "The Forest Rangers" is not so much a melodrama of the men who guard America's vast timbered reserves as It is a comedy of Jealousy. One can take one's pick of themes here and be, quite satisfied. Both are entertainingly and popularly presented. There is plenty of thrill in the rescue during a terrific conflagration and the rangers are depicted as sturdy men of charm and intelligence.

Thpv nrs nnnfainswl Hu TT-rprl MacMurray. His constant battle with tne nre-oug is a mere routine matter when it comes to keeping the peace between two Jealous women his wife and the girl who had marked him as her lawful prize. The comedy that arises from this Jealousy Is immense at times and the situations that develop are often original. It lends the picture constant Interest and laughter. The landscape appeal, the picturesque beauty of log cabins and moonlit rivers, and humorous character studies by Lynne Overman and Eugene Paullette also contribute to lighthearted enjoyment.

(State Theatre,) "TEN GENTLEMEN FROM WEST POINT" ''Ten Gentlemen From West Point" is right away from the usual run of West Point stories, It tells of the birth of America's famous military academy in the face of strong political opposition, and of the trials suffered by its courageous first cadets. Historical fact is only lightly blended with, fictional romance but it effectively reveals the drama of the brutal discipline imposed by a tyrannical commander, a role to which Laird Oregar gives strong personality. Many episodes have thrill blended with boisterous comedy and exciting incidents spring from the Indian rising. Altogether, the film, developed on popular lines, makes good entertainment with a shewdly conceived concluding note, which is timely and Maureen O'Hara's serene beauty adorns the romance in George Montgomery and John Sutton take part and they contribute much enjoyable humour. (Mayfair Theatre.) "THE MUMMY'S TOMB" "The Mummy's Tomb" hna nnthinc whatever to do with the mummy's tomb.

It is the inconsequential sequel to an old horror film wherein tne mummy comes to life. What mummy does not do so on the screen? The mummy chokes the life out of a few people for daring to disturb his coma. This concession to the moronic is as crude as its predecessor; It follows the traditional trails so slavishly that even the juveniles greet it with Joyous guffaws (Capitol Theatre.) "THE YUKON PATROL" Enemy activity being as widespread and as nefarious as it Is, Northwest Mountles are not surprised in "The Yukon Patrol" when enemy agents desecrate a romantic territory with dark and dirty deeds. But the Mounties always get their man, even though the miscreants get a few also on this occasion. Thus the Mounties thwart a plan to export a mineral with potentialities for blowing the British Navy to pieces.

Plenty of action. (Haymarket-Clvlc Theatre.) ARMY HOSTEL OPENED Standard Praised "In some quarters it appears a popular practice to disparage the Army, and all its workst" said the Minister for the Army, Mr, F. M. Forde, at the official opening of the Australian Defence Canteens Service Club at Railway on Saturday afternoon. take this opportunity of expressing strongest condemnation of this -t He- asked the Australian public to temember the men of the Army were performing national service In comparably i greater thari anything new club was.
