Police couldn't find the body. nor
could their legions of volunteer search
erS.
Meanwhile the bridge congestion in
creased.
Aspinwall returned to the scene and,
hearing from the bystanders that a
man had jumped off the bridge, took a
couple of, looks himself.
Came the Dawn.
BY this time the police had lost track
OF the abandoned car Deciding then
that their best chance of finding the
body rested in relocating the car and
looking under the bridge in its imme-
date vicinity, they ordered the spec
tators to move.
All the cars pulled out except Aspin-
wallis. and the investigators were busy
attempting to identify its ownership
when Aspinwall came up and explained
that he couldn't move it and why he
couldn't move 1t.
A great light dawned.

during which time there appeared in
the teeth an average Of four cavities
per patient.
The group was then carefully ex-
amined and placed on diets deemed
best suited to the individual needs.
Six months later they were again
examined. Instead of finding 2,7o0
cavities, as might have reasonably been
expected without the dietetic treatment
the examination disclosed only five.
Treated Many Teeth.
Dr. Davis also said he had made
numerous tests of dietetic treatment of
representative teeth and had never
experienced failure in treating this
condition.
The method of procedure in diagnosis
was discussed by DR.. Leo w. Solbach
a director OF the Clinic Club.
Assuming that nutrition is Of pri-
mary Importance, he said, the first
step should be the taking of X-ray pic
lures of the mouth. A past history of
the physical condition of the patient.
including diet, should be taken, followed
by urine, blood and salivary analysis
These tests, he said, will reveal sugar,
albumen, calcium and phosphorus re-
quirements and such conditions as
anemia, infection. diabetes. etc. With
the patients needs determined, he con-
tinued. proper diet and treatment can
then be prescribed.
Recommends Diet
Samuel Bogdonof, secretary of the
club, said to meet body. requirements in
all respects the following group diet
is recommended:
Whole wheat bread. bran or whole
wheat cereal, ounces of orange or
tomato Juice daily. other raw fruits in
liberal amounts, about 5 ounces Of meat
daily. potato once daily. pint to a
quart Of milk daily, a liberal quantity of
raw vegetable salad at least once a
day, liberal amount of butter, very lit
tie candy and pas'ry and an egg daily,
preferably poached or coddled."
Other items sometimes prescribed IN
clude milk salts. cod liver oil and an ex-
tract of spinach and alfalfa reinforced
with little manganese and copper.
Cites Deficiencies.
DR.. G. Albert Smith said his observa-
tons had convinced him that calcium
End phosphorus deficiencies should be
regarded as one of the chief cauSative
factors in periodontal diseases such as
pyorrhea.
Other speakers included Comdr. H.
E. Harvey. U. S. N, stationed at the
Norfolk Naval Hospital. and DR.. j. K.
Jennings. president of the club.
DR.. Davis announced he had been
offered the use of building at Casualty
Hospital by DR.. Joseph D. Rogers and
that his work would be conducted there
on larger scale than heretofore.

URGED
IN VETERANS AID
New Administration Plans
Plea to Congress, Says
Hines Aide.

definite national policy on veterans
relief which would equaliZe the benefits
received by veterans of all wars, and
their dependents, will be presented TO
Congress in December by Gen. Frank T
Hines, administrator of veterans af-
fairs.
This was disclosed last night by j
O'Connor Roberts, special assistant to
the administrator in an address be-
fore the Federal Bar Association at the
University Club.
An extensive study is now under way
at the veterans administration prepar-
ing for the recommendations to be made
to Congress. Mr. Roberts explained. This
study is being built up by tn" Use of
charts which show the various kinds
of benefits being drawn by all kinds
of persons through the veterans admin
iStration. The charts, when checked
against each other, it was explained,
disclose wide differences and much in
equality in the Governments care of
its veterans and their dependents.
Plans Careful Study.
Gen Hines will carefully study the
final results of this chart study, and
prepare specific recommendations to
Congress for equalization of these bene-
Ats.
Glass legislation for different groups
of veterans, Mr. Roberts said. had
reached a point where the American
people should give serious consideration
to proposed legislation on classes in the
future, for fear of building the cost of
relief so high that it might be ques-
tionable whether the American people
would be able to pay the bill.
The new veterans administration
Pnhortc cold thrnllulo
solidation of the Veterans Bureau. the
Bureau of Pensions and Bureau Of Ma
tional Homes. had reduced the budget
100000 under the total for the three
separate entities.
Many Receive Aid.
Payments are being made to 1913 1894
persons by the veterans administration
he explained. including not only vet
Grams, but persons receiving Civil Serv-
ice retirement. The payments total
S55, 1872 ASS per month. Among those
receiving payments were 4.520356 or
pensions. 5O7,581 on disability compen-
sation, 141,770 for death compensation
to widows and dependents, 1894 emer-
gency officers, 1893 disability allow
ances, and others.
Loans on the adjusted service COM
pensation. known as the soldiers bonus
Roberts said, had reached total of ST.
l00,000,000. The face value Of the certi-
Gates outstanding, he said, was more
than three billion dollars.
The old war risk insurance policies
are being kept up by $4,000 veterans
the speaker said. with policies having
a face value of $3,000,000 900.
Judge Walter w. Warwick, general
counsel of the Federal Employees Com
penSation Commission, spoke on the
work of this commission.
Proposals that the Government pro-
vide more parking space either in base
ments or on roofs of new buildings were
put forward by Charles B. Lin2amfelter

partment, president Of the Federal Bar
