LANGDON HEARING | CONTINUED A WEEK Prohibition Agents Appear Against Policeman at Trial Board. After hearing testimony of prosecu- tlon witnesses the Police Trial Board yesterday postponed for one week the cases of Robert F. Langdon, suspended detective of the fifth precinct, and Pvt. R. S. Miller of the third precinct. Langdon was haled before the board for alleged illegal possession of liquor, while Miller was charged with intoxi- cation, improper use of firearms and associating with a bootlegger. The trial of Traffic Policeman W. D. Davis, also charged with intoxication and improper use of revolver, was put over for two weeks. Prohibition Agents Warren A. Hed- dons, Walter F. Martin and R. F. Murphy appeared against Langdon. ‘They told of receiving information from the city editor and managing editor of the Washington Times that Langdon would make a delivery of liquor at an address on th street north- east, and of the arrest of the policeman when he drove up to the address in his automobile. Ten gallons of whisky were found in a rear trunk of the car. Langdon recently was acquitted of the charge in Criminal Court, contest- ing that he had be:n “framed” by Times employes. ‘The board yesterday was particularly interested in Heddons' testimony that the Times men told him they first learned of the alleged transaction by overhearing the order telephoned to Langdon at the fifth precinct station house. It was pointed out that all calls to the station house must go through the switchboard at the District Building. The substance of the charges against Miller was that on February 19 he went to a friend’s apartment, had some- thing to drink and then fired his serv- ice revolver twice, both bullets going through the wall. ‘The man Miller was visiting, Walter F. McEachern, testified when called as a prosecution witness that he fired the shots accidentally while examining the weapon. He said Miller was asleep at the time. Two young women, Blonda Swaney and Lucille Fabert, testified they heard the shots and that the bullets emerged from the wall just above the bed in which they were sleeping. Further hearing of the witnesses was E;scponed when Defense Attorney aurice M. Grudd advised the board he was not ready with his case. B. & 0.

FORT MYERS, Fla, March 6.—The rfect meal and the best way to eat t have caught the attention of Henry Ford, philanthropist and builder of au- tomoblies, As a result of his own study and of chemical research in his plant at Dear- born, Mich., the manufacturer has evolved a system of diet which he be- lieves will make toward generally bet- ter health and longevity. A dash of common sense as to cul- inary matters is essential, he added, as '}Ilerut in the office of his Winter home ere. Briefly, Mr. Ford's plan covers a three-meal day, For breakfast, he ad- vises, eat only fruits. For luncheon, he continues, eat only proteins. For din- ner, he concludes, eat only starchy foods. And, in addition, “Don’t over- eat. That puts more people out than anything else.” Interested Several Years. In explaining his bellefs as to sefre- gation of elements into three chronolog- ant. They showed, he said, “that men,p fruit and starch don’t mix.” The manufacturer has been interest- ed for several years in the questions that pertain to eating and to digestion. Results of the investigations he inau- gurated will be announced ulumabely.; he said. “Foods and its elements make up one of the most important phases of life,” he explained. “Overeating and im- proper mastication cause almost as much trouble as all other afflictions and bad personal habits.” He has followed the plan of plac- ing fruits, proteins and starches into three daily groups, and has found it personally beneficial. Tried Out at School. Further, the schedule has been fol- lowed at the Wayside School for boys, Sudbury, Mass,, for one and one-half years, with exceptional results. “We have found that this outline provides a greater degree of personal comfort and a generally better state of health. It does not call for heavy eating,” Mr. Ford explained. “To the contrary, we have found that better {T!r‘:tm will be obtained if the meals are ght.” He had just returned from a 100- mile ride with his old friend, Thomas Edison, in a search for rubber-pro- ducing flowers or plants.

Eat vegetables as fre- quently as is desired, »and with any of the three meals. It is a little hard so say whether raw or cooked vegetables are the better, but they may be eaten either way.” Reads a Great Deal. Mr. Ford was asked if the old rule of | “eight hours each of work, sleep and play had been discarded in twentieth century life, with a lessening of the portion of sleep. “I can't say as to that, my daily work and recreation to get as much sleep as I need, and as much recreation as is necessary.” “What is your favorite recreation?” “I don't know that I have a favorite. I read a great deal, paying little at- tention to fiction and a great deal to biographical matter. ‘That does not, however, mean that I do not find many good bits of md!nf in fiction. Also I do a great deal of walking.” (Copyright, 19 I regulate 7 ihe Assoclited Press.) Opera Dying in Scotland.
