ALLIGATOR MEAT
DELICIOUS, 50
BANQUETERS SAY

The use OF reptiles for food Is at
tracting some attention, and try-outs
OF the idea are in fashion. Albert N.
Reese, writing in Science, tells OF an
alligator meat banquet.
The subject OF reptile food having
excited the curiosity of the members
of a large boarding house in Morgan
town, W. Va, 1t was suggested that
collection be taken among those inter-
ested to buy a couple Of small alli-
gators and have them cooked, to see
IL the flesh really was as agreeable as
was claimed in the article in question
The writer agreed to buy the animals
and prepare the flesh for cooking.
Fried Like Veal Outlets.
Sufficient funds were collected to
buy of the Arkansas Alligator Farm
two alIigators, each about three feet
in length. These were killed by cut
ting the cord at the base of the
skull, and the flesh of the entire
body was cut into pieces of suitable
size for cooking. The meat was first
parboiled Though the necessity for
this was doubtfuD and was then
fried in egg and cracker crumbs, very
much after the manner Of Dreaded
veal outlet
About thirty people. consisting of
both men and women, mostly school
teachers. members of the university
faculty, and college students, partock
Of the repast. and all declared the
meat to be delicious"
what Did IL Taste LIkeF
There was considerable difference
OF opinion as to what the meat re-
sembled; some thought IL tasted like
pork: some thought it like fish: one
person said II suggested lobster. but
all declared it to be most agreeable
OF course, at the prices charged by
supply firms the cost of live alliga-
tors would be prohibitive, but in the
tropics, where crocodilia are often ex-
tremely abundant, the fish could be
had at very low cost
The writer has seen alligator
hunters in our Southern States throw
hundreds of pounds of alligator meat
to the carrion crows and buzZards,
after removing the hides.

LEAVE
PULPIT FOR Jobs
IN j. S. SH|PYARDS

From the pulpit to the hod. or the
fascination of doing your Bit" might
well be the title of a little story
about manual labor for war now be-
ing done by some OF the country's
most prominent divines, told by the
United States Shipping Board.
The announcement that DR.. Stephen
S. Wise. rabbi OF the Free Synagogue
Of New York had found a job in a
shipbuilding yard as a common lab
orer-at 50 per day-caused the ship
ping board to look up the records on
enlistments for work among the theo-
logical practitioners of the country.
1t was found that numbers were al
ready working in ship yards. College
professors were also well repre-
sented.
W. F. Daggett, professor of elocu-
tion in the University of Maine, has
such a job in the yards of the Cum
berland Shipbuilding Corporation at
South Portland, Me. Prof Will
lam Wallace Andrews, also of Port
land, works alongside Prof. Dag
gett. In the Cumberland yard alone
are four well-known clergymen: Rev.
w. E. Grace. Rev. L. z. Darling, Rev.
II. T. Darling. and Rev. L. S. Loard.
all of Protestant denominations.
Working with DR.. Wise is his son
James who also officiates on the bust
ness end OF a pick or shovel, as the
Iced may be. They work from a
m. until 4:30 D. m. daily.

JOHNSON OPPOSES
RENT PROF|TEER.
RIDER ON WARB|LL

CONGRESSMAN johnson. chairman Of
the House District Committee, served
notice that he will oppose any attempt
to enact the Pomerene anti-pro1teering
rent bill as q rider on a war bill
The movement to curb rent profiteer-
ing came to a sudden stop when the
Senate took offense at remarks made by
johnson and excused its conferes from
meeting with the House Committee
headed by Mr.. Johnson
Some members Of the Senate saw in
passing the rent legislation as a rider
on some general bill a way to get IT
through without meeting Mr.. Johnson's
committee in conference, but the chair
man Of the District Committee of the
House Immediately announced he would
fight 1t on the floor with every weapon
at his command
Chairman johnson gave as his reason
for fighting the Pomerene bill thatS it
would aid instead OF hinder the rent
profiteerer.
1T would be nothing more or less
than a partnership-an Infamous part
nership-between the profiteer and the
Government" he said.
Whatever bill is passed must, be suf-
ficiently drastic to stop profiteering and
not permit its continuance by going into
cahoot with II. In addition, the Gov
ernment must not take any part OF the
extortion taken from the people"

SISTER CAN GO
TORRANCE, BUT
ABAS ROMANCE

Sisters Of officers and men in the
american expeditionary forces may
go to France under an order issued
by Chief of Stan March. but-they
can't go except to work. and they
must not visit their relatives while
in France.
This modification of the existing
order prohibiting blood relatives of
soldiers from going abroad Is made
because 1t has been found impossible
otherwise to obtain enough women
As workers in the nursing corps and
other branches of the service. The
ulcs for sisters desiring to go to
France are as follows:
The sisters must be duly accredited
members of one of the authorized or
.yaniZations.
Each must be particularly qualified
10y training for the position she Is to
ill.
She must go to France as q worker
and not as q relative.
She must make no effort to see her
relative in France, whether he Is sick
or well
The organization to which she be-
.ongs must make itself responsible
sor returning her to America in case
she violates these rules.
II she marries an officer or a SOL
1ier in the American Expeditionary
Forces after her arrival, she will au-
.oInatically be sent back to the United
States by the organization in which
she Is serving.

HOLLAND HAS CHOSEN

Holland will remain herself"
That is all the Allies ask. That is
all the Allies ask for any neutral ma
ton or for any one or all of them
selves. Valuable as Hollands aid
would be, both her army and her
strategic position, the Allies do not
seek her entrance into the war on
their side except as it is necessary for
Holland to remain herself"
Belgium was not allowed to remain
herself. England had made solemn
pledge to the world that Belgium
should have this right, and so took
up arms to defend her plighted word.
In quick succession other nations fol-
lowed Br1tain's lead.
Germany refused to remain herself.
Under the mis-leadership of Kaiser
Wilhelm, the greatest of the Teutonic
peoples sought to expand, to find
place in the sun. The war will end
only when Germany is willing to re-
main herself.
Perhaps the keystone in Wi sons
arch of peace is the right of all ma
tions for self-determination. We OF
the West and the peoples joined with
us have come to recognize the justice
of the individuality of the nation. Our
own constitution guarantees that right
to its citizens: the Allied armies are
making it secure to the states of the
world

FIRST AND LAST IMPRESSIONS

The first impression of a visitor to
Columbia, whether he comes in on
the Wabash or the Katy railroad, is
that Columbia must be a dirty town
if the dumping grounds along these
railroads can be taken as indication.
These same sights-and they are
sights,-must be seen when the visitor
leaves here 1t may be that the first
impression is a blasting one, but to
see those tin cans, that rubbish. and
general dirtiness as the train leaves
Columbia gives one a bad taste.
Columbia, by no means, is as the
conditions along the railroads would
indicate 1t is one of the cleanest
towns in the state, but the visitor
does not. always know this and is
likely to form his opinion as to what
he sees first and last about the town.
Columbia must have a dumping
ground, of course, but why should it
be along the railroad. AS it is these
dumps are giving the town bad
name, which it does not deserve.
