Soi1e men complain that women

may be ca6sd such, balance each

surely as women are interesting
themselves in the affairs Of the
business and fHaneial world. so
are men considering all sorts Of
food and kindred problems.

Mr. Coles then mentions several
varieties of sharks which me has

are the fish. cOlluQuIallv known as

viii answer. The sailed meat OF the
shark should be heated before
cooking. in the same manner as
the fresh meat. and then put
through a meat chopper and cooked
into highly seasoned fishballs.
Several varieties Of sharks have
been eaten fOr years In Charleston,
: c., and California. and also by
the natives OF south seas
There is no reason at all why
the flesh Of many varieties Of shark
should not be canned. and that, I'M
der Their true names. There Is not
in all the world a more delicious
meat than that o, the small dOs
fish. which are small yarier es OF

Mr.. Coles announces also that ne
knows "of no fish that would be
more welcome on my table than the
sting ray, despite the unaccountable
prejudice against II 49,. OF the ray
family I have eaten the following
varieties. He then proceeds 10
mention the smooth skate or

the COW nosed ray. with a flavor
similar 10 scallops; the eagle ray
and the small devil fish
They are cooked" he says,
'just as any other fish are prepared
J think that the small devil fish is
especially good. The rays could
also be canned on large scale.
Another very important econom-
ic consideration is that the hide
OF sharks now that a new process
mas been developed for tanning it,
can be made into leather which
can be used for the manufacture Of
shoes and other purposes. &C..
