Mr.. Brownies reference was to tbs

than sec, 1000, 900 for schools out of the

subsequent addition also Of millions of
dollars for patrolmen and similar tao

was pointed out. will be that those 1924

which was held yesterday. served to

Register be consolidated with that Of
County Clerk In New York. Kings and
Bronx counties, just as In Queens and
Richmond, brought an instant cry OF
outrage from the Tammany side Of the
board.
Asks Cut in "City Record"
Such a consolidation. which is in line
with suggestions from the Meyer COM
mittee. would save q total of $4,000
in the salaries Of the three Registers.
Edward Reigelmann, Democratic
President OF the Borough OF Brooklyn,
objected that IL those officers were Re-
publicans Mr.. La Guardia's views would
be different.
Mr.. La Guardia stirred UP further
protest when he recommended that
100000 be slashed from the request OF
the City Record for s1.396.900. which
is only $4,000 less than the amount
allowed in this years budget.
The boards examiner called attention
to the single item of $4,000 represent
ing the cost of publication of tax no.
tices under statutory provision, which
resulted this year in bringing the city
only $4,000 from the sales advertised.
The board adopted the estimates for
tentative consideration over that pro-
test and the protest of Clarence H. Fay,

senting Henry II. Curran. President Of

"BREAD" OF STARVING RUSSIA
Called "Lebeda," the Stuff Is Made OF
Leaves and Grass, Boiled
and Dried.

A peasant in the government of Sa-
mara (soviet Russia) told me of how
they make lebeda bread. Here Is the
story:
"In our village they take some lin
den leaves and grass, chop them up to
the size of flea, and then boil the
mixture. After the water has boiled,
they squeeze it out and put the stuff
again into boiling water. Then they
let the water run off through sieve,
and keep the mass until it is dry.
After that they grind it fine and add
one-third flour.
"The bread you get is green in color
and indigestible. And when there Is
no -four, they just bake the ground
mixture as it is. 1t does not taste
very badly; but after man eats it
for a while he swells up and gets
worms in his stomach, and soon after
that he dies."-Moscow Pravda.
