 at Coliseum

Scotland Yard starring Ed mund Lowe and Joan Bennett, will be shown for the last times to- night at the Coils e um theatre. Those Who Dance with Monte Blue, Betty Compson and Lila Lee in the leading roles, will be the feature attraction tomorrow night. Scotland Yard is an intense dra- ma colored by plot complications.

Miss Bennett, who DOT trays the feminine lead, succeeds in bringing conviction and pathos to role that demands these ouali- ties when she is confronted with dramatic problems. This occurs when a man impersonating her husband returns from war, his face transformed by plastic sur gerry, and succeeds in convincing everybody, including herself, that he is her lawful husband.

 Rally Snuffed Out
 The eX-soldiers tried a rally in the ninth but it was snuffed out before any runner passed third. Koski led off with clean single to center. He advanced to second on Shep- ards sacrifice bunt and third on Murray's huff of Brodies fly to center. Brodie stole second.

 In the second frame, Ramsay singled to left, went to third on Osborne's single to right and SCOT ed on a wild pitch.
 Tie In The Fifth
 The Vets went seorless until the fifth, after wasting a splendid chance in the first inning when Worth tripled to center and Liy- ingston walked to start that stan ga. Ted Keaton popped to short, Haines famed and Hollmann was thrown out at first leaving Worth and Livingston stranded on bases.
 Moose errors put two Legion run ners aboard the paths ill the sec- ond but Osborne worked out of the hole nicely. Not until the sixth did the Vets get men on.

This knotted the count at three all

The Moose Sunday cleared an- ether hurdle in it's dash today the finals in the City League pennant chase, defeating the American Le- zion 5 to in a Shining game that kept the fans squirming in seats until the last man was re- tired.
 Erskines homer in the seventh with one man on base won for the Vets. It was his fifth circuit smash of the year.
 Errors Costly To Vets
 Errors were costly for the legion, and Koski, who took his wing out of cold storage for the occasion, should have chalked up a victory with even average support. Two runs made by the Moose in the first frame, and neither earned, gave them an edge that brought home the bacon.
 Worth juggled F. Schmitz's fly in left and Fritz went on to second instead of being out. Koski famed Erskine and Haines dropped the ball, While he was throwing Claud

SISTER .MARY'S KITCHEN
NEA Service Writer

In the good old days" nearly every housewife served at least two kinds of jam or preserves at most of her meals. She considered it necessary thus to show her skill and diligence.
 During the past few years, high sugar prices have taught her that these spreads are valued more If used in moderation, and scientists have convinced her that her fam ily is better off without too much sugar. The woman who must buy knows that jellies and jams are more or less & luxury, and uses them sparingly.
 Nevertheless, most of us want a few jars of extra fine preserves in our jam closets for special occa- sions. Clear sparkling jelly and rich syrupy preserves have turned many plain, scrappy luncheon into an adequate and appetizing meal.
 Of all the fruits availale for jelly making, entrants are perhaps the most perfect. Astrakan apples and, later in the season. crabapples "jelT" naturally, but they do not give the color and flavor found in currant jelly.
 It's Easy to Make
 There are many ways to use cur rant jelly, and 1t is one of the easi- est of jellies to make. Currants are rich in both fruit acid and pectin. For this reason they also can be used with non-acid fruits lacking in pectin to make q delicately-fav ored, firm jelly.
 A particularly delicious jelly to serve with hot rolls is known as -Four Fruit Jelly" The combina- tion of fruits produces a most de- lectable, indescribable flavor. One quart each of entrants, strawber- ries, red raspberries and cherries are the fruits used. Three cups su- gar to four cups extracted juice are the correct proportions to use for this jelly.
 Ruby Conserve Is sure to please. It can be used with cold meats or hot breads as preferred. Ruby Conserve One quart red entrants, 1 quart red raspberries, 1 cup raisins, 2 oranges, 5 cups sugar.
 Wash entrants and put into pre- serving kettle with very little water. just enough to prevent burning before juice begins to flow. Bring slowly to the boiling point and crush with potato masher to extract juice. Simmer until juice flows freely. Strain through jelly bag. Wash orangs, cut in halves. extract juice. Strain juice. Put rinds through food chopper after scrap ing out all pulp and skin. Stone and wash raisins and put through food chopper. Wash and drain raspberries. Put currant and orange juice into preserving kettle | with sugar and bring to the boiling point. Add raisins. raspberries and l orange peel and boil gently until l thick. It will take about 20' min utes. Try on a cold saucer to deter mine when conserve is thick enough. Pour into sterilized glass | es and cover with paraffin when

For that the bathing suits are brief as they can be. There is the renewed interest in the backless bathing suit. But nowadays the wise woman wears a large beach hat which covers her hair, pro- tecting her face and the back of her neck. She discards shis, of course, for the close fitting bathing cap, almost beret-like in shape when she goes into the water. But her summing after the swim is done with discretion. There were too many small fine wrinkles around the eyes, too many deeply tanned and burned necks and backs last year. This season the bather and sumner Is wiser.
 Some of the bathing suits are knitted so that the shorts are al- most like abbreviated kntckers. Not so, the summer pyjamas. They flare and flare until they resemble skirts as voluminous as any worn In the 9O's. These overall suits are slipped over shirts which re- semble the popular polo shirts. The mesh of these blouses may be open or 1t may be finely ribbed.
 The same hat which safeguards a girls eyes on the beach does duty on the farm or at the summer resort. It is picturesque and al- turing until a puff of wind seizes 1t and then It's liability instead of an asset.

The words of the men in the drug store fingered with Sue as she went back down the street to the strange old brick house where she and Sarah were living. Maybe the men were talking about one of Jacks cases, she unused. True, CO., incidences happened only in stories and were very, very bad form in them, because no one ever believed them, she unused. But still
 She pushed the thought away. It was Sarah's wedding day. Sarah and Ted. Corrinne and Harry. Grace and Jimmy. Suddenly she was lonelier..
 But Jack will be back soon," Sue told herself. q won't be blue. I've got enough emotional color 10 keep going!"
 And she ran up the steps, into Sarah's room, laughing.
 "Sue, it's just an hour until =. Sue, do you realize I'm being mar ried?" Sarah said and then re- peated the words every minute or two. It's my wedding day! l always thought that I'd feel different when that day came, but I don't. Is rouge on my cheeks? Brides should be rather pale, shouldn't they? Only that's a bad sign, too, be- cause you want to be happy. oh. l forgot, there's letter from Jack on top of the dressing table"
 "Ill read it later" Sue slipped it into her pocketbook along with the others. Later! She wouldn't have anything else to do then. Sarah would be gone. She would be alone. Without a job. Without any friends She would need letter form Jack.
 Two gray-blue flower boxes, round like old-fashioned hatboxes, came before they were ready. Sarah lifted out a corsage, dewy and pink and very sweet. Half blown roses, sprinkled with lilies of the valley and maiden hair. had been put together lightly, careless ly and gracefully for her bouquet. Sue found sweet peas the same pink shades, and the same scatter ing of lilies of the valley and soft green ferns.
 "There won't be anyone to catch my bouquet but you. Sue.' Sarah said. "But everyone knows you are next on the list. This should be your wedding today, really, you know. We sort of stepped out of place" Then she grew serious. "Lls- ten, Sue, don't let any duty complex to your parents keep you from go- ing 10 sJack If he wants you to come. They have each other. They
