Dallas And The City Manager
Plan

Dallas adopted the city manager plan by a two 10
one vote. A Dallas correspondent writes that the
real reason for the change, aside from normal
progress toward more efficient municipal admins
tration. was a need to get the city out Of the red and
to carry to completion one Of the largest improve
ment projects in the country" Then he tells the
story Of the growth Of the city manager plan under
Texas skies.
Amarillo was the first in 1913 and since then
Austin, Fort Worth, Wichita Falls, Beaumont, Waco,
Temple and Sherman. TO mention the most i'm
portaat," have taken it UP. He notes as most sig
nificant that no Texas city has ever relinquished the
city manager plan once it was adopted and that the
Sherman city manager. Q. j. f. Ellingston. has a rec
ord for continuous service in one city, having been
there since 1915.
Dallas, he says. becomes the fifth largest city in
the United States and the most important Southwest
ern city to adopt the city manager plan Of govern
ment and is the 33rd city in Texas TO adopt it. As has
been said the Dallas city manager is carried into
office by 80 amendments which comprise virtually
a new charter, only five sections of the old charter
being retained. One Of the most important CT the
new section provides for a municipal civil service and
the manager will be chosen in Apr. 1881. BY an elect
i've council Of nine, one Of whom will be chosen BY
the council as mayor.
Of course the Dallas correspondent writes that the
new city manager will have no snap job. He will in
herit an overdraft Of about a million dollars. His
verdict is that the petty politics which the Tate
and previous administrations have played have been
costly and have delayed industrial development be-
ycnd financial computation If civil service is need
ed, municipality speaking. in the city of Dallas and
its administration Of affairs why not the state Of
Texas?
Gov. Moody recommended civil service for the en-
ployes Of all state departments. A bill was introduced
and it was shot to pieces and then strangled BY law
makers who believe that ITO the victors belong the
gpoils." Comment Is not necessary.

WHEN the cooler weather ar
w rives. nuts of all kinds are a
! welcome addition TO the dietary.
Everyone likes the taste CT nuts
and a study of their composition
reveals their worth as food.
In comparing the food values OF
meats. eggs, cereals or beans with
nuts .he findings are interesting.
Peanuts. butternuts and almonds
contain more protein than any or
these food Stuffs. Furth hermore.
the protein is of high quality.
English walnuts contain more pro-
tein than eggs or oatmeal but less
than beef steak or dried beans.
The mineral content of nuts
compares favorably with meat and
eggs. Nuts are better source of
calcium and phosphorus than
either meat or eggs. With the eX-
,eption of pecans the iron content
Of nuts is lower than meat or eggs.
Pecans, which are poorest in pro-
tein and phosphorus, are richest
in iron.
Although nuts are lacking in
vitamin c, their A content equals
meat, and the B content OF wal
nuts and peanuts equals eggs and
meat
From these facts the housewife
must realize that when she adds
nuts to any dish the nourishment
and food value, as we'll as the pal
liability, are greatly increased.
Nut oils are not considered in
digestible, but like all fats they
take time 10 digest. Finely chop
ped or ground nuts and nut but
ters are more easily digested than
nuts in their natural state. Thor
ough mastication is essential if
full value is derived from nuts
and unless older children and
adults also are willing to do this,
It is better to use the ground pro-
ducts.

There are innumerable ways il
which nuts may be used to ado
nourishment and interest to other
foods Combined with vegetables
they make substantial main dish
es. Added to salads or dessert
they do much TO increase the nour.
ishment of these courses. In bread
they are a valuable agent toward
amending the protein deficiencies
of grains.
With the exception of chestnuts
approximately one-half ounce
