There is . cake-eating son who refuses to work, an irrepressible four teen-year-old daughter and an older daughter who declines to accept Mas choice of a lover. The play is exceptionally whole some entertainment that every member of the family can en- joy. It is presented by an un- usually capable cast headed by William Collier and Marguerite Churchill.

F inaI Figures on
 5. E. Alaska Pack

Southeast Alaska's salmon pack for the season of 1880 ag- Cregated 2,884,418 cases of all Vatieties according to individ- ual oannery pack statistics com Ipiied at local headquarters of Ithe United States Bureau of Fisheries, it was announced to- i day by Dennis Vim, local agent. This is 8G0,899 cases in excess Of the pack for 1929 which i0- Jaled 2,O23,519.
 There will be a few thousand more cases packed during the fall season, but this will not amount to very much as but one or two plants contemplate op- erating this fall
 Pink salmon, the bulk of the Southeast Alaska pack, account ed for 2,271,616 cases of the to- tai, chums ranked second with 274,28O, and red salmon was 2 clO1e third with 1894. The CO hoe pack was about 113,OO0 and kings slightly more than $500 eases.
 There are eight districts in Southeast Alaska. each having opening and closing dates for commercial fishing. In every one of them the pack this year was ahead of 1929. The pack by districts for the two years:
 DISTRICT 1880. 1929 YaEutat (Incom-
 plete 40,916 35,O00 lev Strait . :. 443,643 297,180 Ve~tern Dist. |. 544,171 355.OG8 Eastern Dist. 367,3o8 244,56 Dist. 718,814 233,565 (Incom-
 plete) '. 39,132 22,296 N. Prince Wales 481,687 3O7,232 s. Prince Wales 249,68O 244,395
 The compiled figures do not show that catch of salmon by districts. That is the half milli- on or more salmon canned in KetChikan that were taken from Icy, Chatham Straits and Fred brick Sound The same may be said of North and South Prince of Wales Districts. The pack for these districts were made up al most entirely from the northern districts. When the closed sea- son came on the streams in all districts were more than ade- quately seeded. Every fisher man is agreed that closure of the June and July period and a continuous opening beginning Aueust 1st to the 18th of Sep tember will make adequate pro- vision for escapement of salmon to the spawning areas. The ar gument is further advanced that such a regulation would elim- mate considerable overhead for the packers.

ment Of 10000 chicks shipped re-
Gently from Drumm'S hatcheries in
north Texas.
Mr.. Drum reported that only SO
chicks had died in transit, an I'M
usually good average. when it is
considered that two 24-hour delays
we're encountered. Brownsville Gus
tom officials held the shipment be-
cause OF irregularities in passports,
and another delay was necessary
in Tampico.
I'VE find that shipping chicks
by air Is satisfactory. and the
money saved by the low loss Of
chicks almost counteracts the ex-
ira cost Of shipping by plane Mr..
Drumm said Thursday.

You can't conveniently make straw
berry jelly without adding pectin.
With the one-minute boil, the
fresh fruit flavor and color are saved
and the juice does not boil away.
This is important to housewives
who take pride in their jellies and
jams. 1t also means women get
about half again more glasses than
the old way.
The long-boil method used to take
about As minutes from start to fin
ish, and now the short-boil takes
only fifteen minutes and the finished
jam has the "fresh Strawberries"
color and tempting flavor.
If you put up general stock of
strawberry jams and jellies now,
you will have sufficient on hand
later in the year for delicious ice
creams and desserts, biscuits, sand
wiches and pastries.
Use these new tested recipes.
They make strawberry jam time a
pleasant adventure. They are so
very easy and quick. Use fully
ripened fruit as it has the best flavor
and color at this stage. Be sure to
make ali measurements level and
above all, Mrs. Home Maker, fol-
low directions to the letter.
Use a wooden spoon for stirring
since the handle stays cool-a metal
spoon for skimming. Use a six to
eight-quart kettle or saucepan to
permit full rolling boil without
boiling over. One-quarter teaspoon
butter added to jams before boiling
begins, reduces frothing and skim
ming.
Correct parafining is extremely
important. Spoilage is often due to
improper parafining. When pour
ing jam or jelly, allow at least one
half inch space at top of glass. Cow
er hot jam or jelly at once with a
film of hot paraffin. When glass is
cold, cover with heavier layer. "a

POLKA-DOT LINEN

White linen with a fairly large,
vivid polka dot makes one of the
most charming materials for mid
summer morning wear in the country
or at the seashore. The firm texture
of linen withstands a great deal of
hard wear and washing, and polka
dots have delightful vital, vibrant
quality which is heightened by sun
light The semi-sportS lines of the
model above make this fabric happy
choice. A broad cape collar is crossed
over, surplice fashion, in front; the
blouse is belted and long enough to
suggest two-piece effect, and pleats
grouped on one side of the skirt pro-
