Scalloped Tomatoes

1 pint peeled and cut tomatoes 1 pint bread crumbs Pepper 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt Reserve three tablespoons of the bread crumbs, and spread the remainder on a pan. Brown in the oven, being careful not to burn them. Mix the tomatoes, browned bread crumbs, salt, pepper, sugar, and half the butter together, and put in a shallow baking dish. Spread the unbrowned crumbs on top, and dot with the remainder of the butter cut into bits. Bake in a moderately hot oven for half an hour. The top of the dish should be brown and crisp.
