POLICEMAN ON TRIAL
Incidentally Strength of Liquor Odors
Is Discussed

Does the odor of whisky travel as far
as that of beer?
Can you detect the scent of pale ale
quicker than the smell of wine?
These were some of the difficult ques-
tions which came before the Police Board
today when Policeman Goodyear. of the
39th street and Lancaster avenue station,
was tried on the charge of being intoxi-
Gated on duty.
The policeman contended that he only
took four beers before going on duty. but
Liutenant Bisbng asserted that the cop"
was talking incoherently at the station
house.
To prove the charge he called Police
man Connolly as aswitness. Connolly de-
clared that he "snitlt the liquor on the
defendant. Asked how far away the odor
of drink could be detected on a man the
witness asserted that whisky could be
"smelt at distance of six feet, beer at
five, ale at about four and wine at two"
Counsel for the defense, however, OBJ
jected to accepting Connolly as an au-
thority on the matter.
The board gave no indication OF what
accommodation II would make 70 Di-
rector Dripps in the matter.

In the development OF n ease of

there are four distinct stages: First.
the stage OF hearty, almost tigerish
appetite. Under the irritation of
alcohol the appetite calls for nil sorts
OF hurdcnsome and indigcstlblc things,
and If they arc not supplied on the
free lunch counter, the drinkcr will
get them somewhere else. He eats
like horse at all hours OF day and
