We SHOULD EAT FISH
INSTEAD OTHER MEAL
SAYS GOVERNMENT AGEN T
TELLS OF FOOD VALUE OF
SHARK MEAT.

Savannah, Aug. 22.--As a result Of
a visit here of G. Sunderman, rep
resentative of the United State Blu
I reau Of Fisheries, who is making a
tour Of the cities On the Atlantic
| Coast with the view of educating The
people to eat large fish OF the sea,
Savannah housewives will have the
| opportunity within a few days Of adj
ding shark steak to their menu.
Mr.. Sunderman called on the fish
dealers of the city, to urge them to
offer shark meat for sale. Mr.. Mag
gion promised Mr. Sunderman he
would instruct the captain of his fish
ing fleet to get shark the next time
he goes out. The meat will be Of
fered fer sale in the City Market The
other dealers expressed their inter
est in the movement and agreed to
help increase the consumption of fish.
It's only prejudice against shark
meat and the people will have to be
educated to eat it, said the fish bu-
reau man last night at the Hotel Saw
annah SHARK meat is palatable
and wholesome" he continued. BE
sides there is a shortage of meat all
over the country and the American
people are going to have to turn up
some other food"
TO prove the value of shark meat
for food, Mr. Sundeman related an in
cident that happened at Ocean City,
Md, where he was on an official visit.
He had the hotel man serve fried
shark steak to several Of his friends.
His friends ate the fish, not knowing
what kind it was. One of them ate
what he had and asked for more.
Afterwards he was told it was shark
meat, and he said: "If that's shark
meat, let me have some more"
think what large number of
people a 400-pound shark would feed"
said Mr. Sundeman, "and they are
easy to catch, too. Besides this the
hide and oil of the fish can be used
to good advantage. The hide, prop
erly tanned, is fine for making boots"
He pointed out that carp, which are
plentiful in the waters around Saw
annah, are suitable for eating. "Skat-
es and sting.rays are also good to be
eaten if the people could only be ed
educated" he added. He told of how
the Germans fostered the cultivation
of the carp in European waters by
planting weeds for them in the ponds.
He said Skates" about thirty or
forty pounds in weight, abound in the
water around Tybee that would make
good food for the tables of Savannah
iaus.

in a pile and covered with sacks,
blankets, or tarpaulin for 2 hours
or over night. 1t is then dried suf
fciently to be run through the drill,
after which it may be sown. If the
grain is not passed through tanning
mill it should be placed in a vat or
tank of the formaldehyde solution in
stead of being sprinkled. The smut
balls will rise to the surface and may
be SKINNED off.
If the grain is not to be planted i'm

bins. If planted while damp and
swollen more grain by measure must
be used to allow for the expansion.

Suggestions for restoring the BAL

President Percy ID. Haughton, OF the
Boston National League Club.
Haughton brought up the subject
St the recent meeting OF the National

committee meet with a similar body
from the American League to con-
slider revision.
"The natural ingenuity Of the
American sportsman is forever de-

and attack in games" said Haughton.
"In baseball the defenders have had
the upper hand for years. It is harder
TO make runs now. Batting averages
are dropping. indicating there is
something radically wrong with the
balance in baseball. What changes.

probability OF the base hit and the
