SHARKS TO SERVE MANKIND
Veteran Fisherman Believes That,

who taught Colonel Roosevelt how 10

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. y. 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
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
DanvilIe man gives the following re-
cipe for cooking shark steak:
Salt heavily for 80 minutes, soak out
n three waters, parboil a few minutes,
,hange water, parboil again. cook
heavily seasoned and serve hot. The
mount of seasoning must be used ac-
| eording to the Odor of the meat.
