Find a Use for Rats.

The city authorities of Stockholm
have begun a campaign against rats
by offering a reward of 2As cents for
every dead one. While 1t is hoped thus
to reduce the rat plague considerably,
the chief end is to get an important
addition to the stocks Of fats available
for TIA making of soaps and lubrl-
cants ;fhe rats are treated in a
"TJnIse utilization establishment"
where, after the fat has been boiled
out. what remains Is converted into
a poultry food. South Sweden has
for some time been utilizing cadavers
of animals. Considerable fat is also
obtained by skimmlng large contain
ers placed in the sewers leading from
hotels, restaurants and other places
where there is an unavoidable waste of
fat.

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

Russell J. Coles of Danville, Va,
who taught Colonel Roosevelt how to
harpoon devilfish, announced hat he
has discovered a method of preventing
worldwide starvation by tests he has
carried out with regard to certain spe-
cles 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 death in a terrible form,
he decided to take the risk and he
sampled several of them. He has sent
a 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 80 minutes, soak out
In three waters, parboil u few minutes,
change water, parboll again, cook
heavily seasoned and serve hot. The
amount of seasoning must be used ac-
rording to the odor of the meat.

Time to Get Ready.

The other day a man telephoned to
the draft selection board for Marion
county outside of indianapolis and
asked whether it is necessary to have
the wife's signature on an affidavit for
an exemption claim. He was told 1t Is
necessary if he is claiming exemption
on the ground that his wife is depend
ent on him.
won't anyone else do?" the inquirer
asked. 'My wife SAYS she won't sign
it."
The board member told the man that
the best thing he could do was to "get
