Listen to the old Latin professor"
said Mary.
Suppose we investigate and see,"
said Uncle Harry Sine die, you
know, means without day. and ad-
iourning sine die means adjourning
without fixing a time for meeting
again. So / guess we couldn't very
we'll say that we adjourn sine die,
because, even if we don't say any
thing about the date Of our next meet

Mary.

has been convinced of the correct
ness CT his views, and after experts
have determined just how the crow
fat can be purified and to just what
purpose it can be put after being
adulterated or added to other and
scarcer fats.
During the months of May; June
and July DR.. Schnee says. the
young seed crows" are practically
plentiful and tender. In the three
months following the same birds or.
still older ones, abound more than
at any other time in fat.
Under the skin of each bird, he
has found, there are layers Of fat
of a particularly desirable char
acter-which is much used by the
Russian peasants. In addition the
organs of the birds are surrounded
by fat which differs merely in color
and smell from the fat of other an
finals that is regularly used.
! From full grown crow there
can be obtained, he says, from so
to $50 grams of fat, or an average
perhaps of 100 Kilograms from ev-
cry 100 birds. Put through the
ordinary processes, this yields some
seven or eight Kilograms of lard,
which is much in use in Russian
peasant circles.
Even the meat of the old crow
is edible, says DR.. Schnee, if it is
put through picking process of
some four to six weeks with onions
and then served with kind of
cabbage, In taste it is similar to-
picked wild boar, DR.. Schnee
suggests the creation of hunting
parties chosen by the government
to patrol behind the lines in the
east. sending back to experts the
crows they shoot to be Debated"
and picked.

Germans Eat Crow.

From experience in the field in

German government that young
crows are tasty and valuable
source of food, and that the old
tough bird that follow the armies
by the tens of thousands are a
plentiful source of fat that can be
used in making soap if not in pre-
pairing food for human beings.
DIR. Schnee suggests therefore
that crow hunting be begun sys-
tematically, after the government

lesson in which should he taken to

its quota of boys and men who

to fit themselves for anything, bet

common sense. We reprint it
