NORWAY is EATING
THE MEAT OF SEALS

Scarcity Of meat in Norway has i'm
PEELED the Revictualling Commission to
introduce the flesh Of seals to the public.
Whale meat was a favorite food in
France in the Middle Ages, and whale
tongue was priced as delicacy. But
whales have become scarce in European
waters of late years and their meat il
rare. Seals, however, are killed by the
thousand every spring on the coasts OF
Northern Norway, Spitzbergen and Nova
Zembla. Sealers brought G0,00o carcasses
to Norway last year. These are not the
fur seals, but those Of whose skin leather
is made.
To foster the use Of seal meat the COM
mission has sent women lecturers in
household economies 10 give public dem
Here are two Of their most successful re-
ceipts:
Seal Croquettes.-Take pound of kid
a pound of bacon; chop them togethe r
and add gill of milk, an egg, a dessert
spoonful of potato -four and some pepper
Form into croquettes, fry them in fat and
serve.
Seal Rissoles.-Chop a pound of seal
meat and pound of beef; mix and cover
with paste: fry in fat.
Before use the seal meat must be soake I
Tor TWO days in water and vinegar, and
then for a third day in pure water.
The Revitualling Commission is selling
seal meat wholesale at the equivalent Of
3 40 cents pound.

| The National Anthem is played
through once without the repetition
Of any part not required to be repeat

! 1t is never played as part Of med

| 1t should never be used as a march

| Theoretically, it should not be played
except on formal occasions; but good

chestra should have the bad taste to
play the air in dance tempo the dane
ers should Immediately cease dancing.
! The national anthems of other
countries are treated with the same
marks of respect prescribed for the
National Anthem of the United States
when played upon official occasions.
| AS an example, I heard a huffoon in
outre costume sing THE Marseillaise"
at a restaurant a few evenings ago
Some Of the diners stood. That in

Grated at that time or place, and those
who refused to rise were perfectly
within their rights when they refused

Which leads up to another incident
witnessed some years ago--(How
long was it, anyway, since the Giants

raised emblematic of National League

the same time look toward the person
saluted.
2.-Drop the arm smartly by the
side.
| Similarly, to uncover" is defined as
holding the headdrcss opposite the
left shoulder with the right hand"
Now when should each form of re-
spect be used? Which is proper,
when?
| Here are the rules for the Flag:
IF in civilian dress and covered,
they Officers and men) will uncover,
| holding the headdress opposite the left
shoulder with the right hand; if I'M
covered they will salute with the right
hand salute
This Is the proper mode of paying
respect, whether one is passing the
| Flag or the Flag is being carried by.
An officer in uniform would not re-
move his hat or cap, but would salute
with the hand, or if he held a weapon
| in his hand, with the prescribed salute
for that weapon.
| The exception to the rule is when
the Flag is cased. Never salute a
cased color.
Now for the proper Observance
| toward The Star Spangled Ban
ner"
e. All officers and enlisted men
not in formation shall stand at atten-
ton facing toward the music Except
at retreat when they shall face toward
the Flag. If in civilian clothes,
uncovered, they shall salute at the
first note of the anthem. retaining the
% no loo of
the anthem. If y. covered, they
shall uncover at the first note Of the
anthem, holding the headdress oppo-
site the left shoulder and SO remain
until it's close, except that in inclem-
ent weather the headdress may be
slightly raised"
Don't try to uncover and salute at
the same time.
Here is something quite important
for the civilian to know-"The same
rules apply when TO the Color or To
| the Standard is sounded as when the
National Anthem is played"
"The color" is the American Flag
carried by foot troops and is somewhat
larger than THE Standard which is
the American Flag carried by mount
ed troops. ITO the color" is the call
played by trumpets when the Flag
passes in review or at retreat" as the
| Flag is lowered for the night, when
the band is not present. 1t is not
hard to learn and is quite as solemn
and inspiring as THE Star Spangfed
Banner" Any soldier can teach you
to recognize it's simple notes. How
ever, I have never seen any slapstick
patriot pay a bit of attention to it.

HUMPBACKED SALMON
PLANTING SUCCESS

The department Of inland fisheries and
game has received information which
indicates the success of the govern
ment experiments during the past two
or three years in planting large num-
bers Of humpbacked salmon in Wash
ington county waters.
Under recent date a report has been
made to the department by L. A. Hay
cock of Cherryfield the fishermen are
getting some of these humpbacked SAL
mon in their weirs. The federal gov
eminent planted the fish in the Mar
rosaugus river about four years ago.
The report states that the fish weighed
about three pounds each. From this it
is apparent that the humpbacked sal
mon will thrive in eastern Maine wat
ers.

Prof Boys of England. experimenting
with bubbles, obtained some very large
ones, which in the sunshine changed
coIors SO beautifully that he conceived
the idea of using them as backgrounds for
photographs.
The large bubbles were blown with an
ordinary. bellows, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. The soap solution was
heated and large-mouthed funnel was
dipped into it. The bellows, connected
with the funnel. was then worked very
gently. Bubbles with as great circum.
ference as two and half feet were easily
obtained.
