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

Russell ]. Coles Of Danville, Va,
who taught Colonel Roosevelt how to
harpoon deyilfish, 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. G., where he caught
number of fish, and despite the pop
ular belief that the eating of them
would bring death In 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 win incline dn ear
and start the fashion of shark eating.
Mr.. Coles believes that the sides Of
the larger fish may be tanned and con-
verified 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, pilrboil again, cook
heavily seasoned and serve hot The
amount of seasoning must be used ac-
cording to the odor of the meat.

GERMAN "KURS" NOT "CUREs"
Error Of Translator Causes Medi-

Many newspapers are hasty in an
nouncing the discovery in Germany of
some method of treatment more of
less new, and not infrequently mis-.
information is given the public
through the failure to keep in mind
the actual meaning of one little word.
The German word kur does not mean
cure" although it is not an un-
common thing to find 1t so translated
into English.
ITO cure" In English means ito re-
store to health; to effect cure;" but
in other languages 1t means merely to
apply "a method of remedial treat
ment of disease; medical or hygienic
care; method of medical treatment"
The German word for restoration to
health" is heilung, not kur
The Latin word cura means merely
care" a shade of meaning which is
preserved in the derived term "cura-

"0r is he simply enjoying a long

comment.
- But the count shook his head doubt
fully.
A year had almost passed when the
first European aerodromone was fin

was as perfect as mechanical genius
could make it.
Count Won Werdenstein had invited
several reigning monarchs to attend
the trial flight and Suemeg rivaled the
ancient Roman pageants in splendor.
Only a few besides the royal specta-
tors were allowed on the plateau near
the aerodromone plant. The police
compelled the uniformed thousands
who lived in the neighborhood to
keep respectful distance.
Santos Duprel's heart beat high
when he and Rositta stepped into the
waiting machine. ROSETTA had decorat-
ed this first aerodromone with a gor.
geous princely crown, and it gnttered
braveIy in the morning sun.
Rositta was clever and studied the
aerodromone under Santos direction
until she was expert in it's control and

the wings rose slowly, then swooped
downward, causing the machine to
rise swiftly and surely. Everything
worked exactly as desired and the ma
chine soon disappeared from the view
of the watchers, behind a bank of
clouds.
They went up and swan In the
fleecy clouds that billowed in the gold
en- sunshine. They reached an enor-
nous height, then Santos reversed the
machine, turned off the power and
they slid downward. ROSETTA stood

downward, zigzagging through the
clouds, and mighty thunder echoed
through space.
She realized her might, and in that
moment of Intoxicating delight she
dreamed a dream-she saw herself as
the ruler of the world.
How long will 1t take to have TWEEN
ty machines like this, Santos?" asked
ROSETTA, eagerly.
Five or six months, my queen!"
Then, then we will see." Her eyes
.glittered strangely with a fire that was
not love.
When they landed on the spot from
where they assembled, the Emperor Of
Germany handed Santos Duprel the
parchment with the great imperial
seal attached, and said: Count Won
Duprel, | want to be the first to con-
graduate you"
An hour later the newly made Count
Won Duprel was receiving the matri-
monial blessing from the court vicar
