The officiols of the city of Albuquer-
que and the Bernalillo county officials
are going to be asked this evening to
recommend some concerted action so

cussed ways and means. United

elected chairman and Deputy United
States Marshal Kaseman was the sec
retary. The chairman explained that
the meeting vas called for the purpose
of talking over the food situation and
to arrange for protection in the future.
County Surveyor Don J. Rankin,
who has been active at the Alameda
dyke, said the water had fallen several
inches at the Fourth street dyke, and
with no more heavy rains the city is
safe; that the new Alameda dyke is
safer than the old one at the point
where the break came Arthur Everitt
said the danger was past for the pres.
ent, but steps should be taken to pre-,
vent a loss in the future.
The matter OF reconstruction OF the
various dykes and the draining on of
the food water was matter that was
left to the city council and the Bernali-

"A Diet OF Chestnuts.

In many districts in Italy and Spain,
the chestnut takes the place of oats,
rye and rice. Chestnut groves are
abundant in all the mountain districts
of Italy and Spain, and the season of
chestnut gathering is the harvest fes-
ttval of those countries. In the old
times chestnuts were the common ra-
ton provided for the soldier, and when
there was probability that a castle
was likely to be besieged, out went
the soldiers and laid violent hands
on all the stores of chestnuts within
easy reach. Chestnuts in Italy, dourra
in Egypt, sweet potatoes in many in
land districts in Africa, bananas, rails
ins, dates, and figs, almost everywhere
in the tropics, wheat in the temperate
zones-these are staples where meat
is luxury.
