SHARKS TO SERVE MANKIND
Veteran Fisherman Believes That,
Properly Handled, the Meat Of
the Fish 10 Edible.

Russell ]. Coles of Danville, Va,
who taught Colonel Roosevelt how to
harpoon devilflsh, announced that he
has discovered method Of preventing
worldwide starvation by tests he has
carried out with regard to certain spe-
cies of the dark shark and ray family.
Mr.. Coles has just come back from
Morehead City, N. c., where he caught
a number Of fish, and despite the pop
ular belief that the eating Of them
would bring deathain terrible form,
he decided to take the risk and he
sampled several of them. He has sent
complete record Of his findings to
Herbert Hoover In the hope that the
food administrator will incline an ear
and start the fashion Of shark eating.
Mr.. Coles believes that the sides Of
the larger fish may be tanned and con-
verted into marketable leather.
After trying several methods the
Danville man gives the following re-
cipe for cooking shark steak:
Salt heavily for 30 minutes, soak out
in three waters, parboil few minutes,
change water. parboil again, cook
heavily seasoned and serve hot. The
amount Of seasoning must be used ac'
cOrding to the odor Of the meat.
