Germany's Credit OecIininu.

AMSTERDAM - The Rehinische West Faelische Zeitung of Essen, Germany, in q leading article headed New Offensive Against Our Rate of Exchange" deplores the decline in the exchange rate of the mark and says: "The enemy has every interest m keeping the rate as low as possl- ble, not only in order to increase the cost of Germany economic life after the war" The campaign against the rate of exchange of the mark is att tributed to . large New York bank ing house and to the recent increase in the number of Germauy's enemies, which has narrowed the scope within which Germnry can take measures to improve the exchange, while the real .

Says Whale Betser Than Beef.

SACRAMENTO-Th chief differ steak is. that whale meat is better, according to Barton w. Ever1nann, gical investigation at the university of California. This opinion was ex- pressed to Dean Thomas F. Hunt, of the university agricultural college, in response to request from the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce for information on the subject. The state council of defense is in receipt of
 .verminn's reply.
 The whale is not fish but a man. mal, like sheep, cattle and hogs, ac- ;orling to the university investiga- tor, and there is no fishy taste what soever to whale meat which resem- bles in beef appearance but is darker red. There is no bone, grisle or fat in the meat and it can be sold at ten cents a pound and still net the whal- ing company a profit. Much whale meat now is used for chicken feed and fertilizer, but it's use as human food is apt to become more general. Ever mann believes. One trial, he says, IS all that is needed to convince the average person 1t is as good as beef steak or better.

Contends Women Grand Jurors IT,
 Ieual.
Special Correspondence A. p.

SACRAMENTO, Cal.-The unusual point that women should not be all lowed to be members of grand jures was urged here before the last sessiou of the third district court of appeal by attorneys for R. F.. Lensen, convict cd in Modoc country of violating the Wiley local option law. Lensen was convicted in the superior court fol- lowing indictment by grand jury on which were eight women. The contention of the defendants attor- neys is that the case is without pre- cedent and has no authority in law. So far as known 1t is the first time the point has been urged in this state, and the first instance of women on a grand jury. The case was taken under advisement.
