STEAK OF WHALE
FOOD CANDIDATE
ON BILL OF FARE

Now the whale, the humpback
variety (megaptera longimana) is
commended as a candidate for the
poor mans table, and although
none as yet has been offered here,
Rock Island markets no doubt will
soon have it.
The new fishing regulations ex
tended the courtesy OF the war
menu to the shark, the porpoise and
the whale: while mullet and drum
fish are accorded special distinction.
Whale and porpoise are mammals,
like cattle and sheep, and their flesh
is meat" and not fish" III tex
ture and appearance il resembles
beef, though the color is darker
red. 1t is devoid of all fshy taste.
These new feats of strange
viands: kangaroo, giraffe. lions and
now whale, never fail of approval
by guests who are summoned into
the limelight and expected to dis
play a sporting spirit. 1t was a
brave man who first ate an oyster;
and it is a patriotic lot Of gentlemen
who Will start well on the road to
success the adoption of whale
meat to the average mans table.
The facts are that the ocean is quite
full of whales and no mater how
severe the drouths ,ethese mammals
never suffer from lack of water.

Camp Dodge, Iowa. March 10
The military police of the Eighty
eighth national army division at
Camp Dodge. will in no way be held
responsible for immoral conditions
in Des Moines.
In a statement from div ision
headquarters it was announced that
the authority of the military police
extended only within the govern
ment reservation and the five-mile
zone surrounding il.
NO criticism of Des Moines or
conditions there is intended" the
statement says. But it is desired
that the public understand that the
military police are in no way re-
sponsible for conditions outside the
limits of the government reSerya-
ton and the five-mile zone"
This means that although the
military police will continue TO
work in conjunction with the state
and federal authorities they Will in
no way be in a position TO have the
! blame for improper or undesirable
conditions in Des Moines and vicin-
ity placed upon them
{ II was announced that If condi-
tons should develop in Des Moines

thorities desire the latter will take
