Pittsburg is to have four women
policemen, and the rules require
them to be unmarried. This ruling
is doubtless for the purpose of keep
ing the husbands of the officers from
being sweet with the cops on their
beats, but the fact that is lost sight
of is that there is usually more love
making before than after the mar
rage.

to it that some fruit from their sec
ton comes to Morgantown
