Rambler was again convinced of
that fact the other day while walk

chap he was, with his face 1eaming
with smiles which spread from ear

MORE W|NTRY WEATHER MATTER UP TO POLLARD
Attorney General Will Decide Wheth-

ion Can Have Home"

The opinion of Moral Commissioner
Peters to the effect that unmarried
men in Virginia cannot procure stimu-
lants, that privilege being granted
only to heads Of families, has caused
considerable sensation in Alexandria
as well as in all sections of the Old
Dominion. and Attorney General
Pollard will be called upon 10 render
an opinion.
Much has been said and written
about the right of the bachelor to inn
port his quart. One or two courts IN
the state have rendered decisions
which By Inference support the stand
taken by the Prohibition Commis-
sioner's counsel, that bachelors must

point must be cleared up at once 1t
is hoped by all interested that the
Attorney Generals decision Will not
be unduly delayed.
Sociologically, the Mapp act raises
an interesting question. Its interpre-
