POLLARD LAUDS
RULE IN VIRGINIA
Democratic Gubernatorial
Candidate Outlines Policies
at Alexandria Meeting.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, September 3d.
PraiSing the present administration in
Virginia, John Garland Pollard, Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nominee in his adj
dress at Elks' Hall last night urged
members of the Democratic party to
stand behind the ticket in the general
election on November S.
Pollard pointed out that approximate
ly $4,000, 900 had been saved in Virginia
in the past year by means of the splen-
did program put through by Gov. Byrd.
He also praised the administration for
the road construction program and
promised that it would be continued If
he wins the election.
For Good Roads.
Discussing the problem of reducing
the tax on gasoline and automobile
license tags, as urged by his opponent,
Pollard said that the State needs more
good roads at this time than it does a
reduction in taxes and that he favored
the reduction of road taxes only when
the proper time comes.
The half-cent reduction per gallon on
the gas tax, as urged by the coalition
candidate, would mean the loss of ST.
0OO,O 900 Of the road fund, he said, and
the public would realize no benefit from
the reduction, as the dealer would not
pass the savingnon to the consumer.
Pollard declared that over $4,000 900
was brought to the State last year by
the tourist trade as result Of Vir-
ginia's good roads.
FavOrS Education.
The Democratic nominee declared
that he stood for public education, and
that in the past eight years there has
been a wonderful increase in students
in the State. He also asserted that he
stood for the care Of Virginia's destitute
children.
c. c. Carlin, jr, chairman Of the city
Democratic committee, presided over
nearly 500 people, while Gardner l..
Boothe introduced the speaker. Rev.
DR.. William Jackson Morton, rector of
Christ Episcopal Church, offered the
invocation. Musical selections were rem
dered by the Citizens Band, while vocal

AT CHERRYDALE
Zoning Commission Tables

BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, September 28.-The desire
of County Directing Engineer G. L. Kin
nier and Zoning Engineer Allen j. Sa-
vile for a 10-foot setback at either end
Of the proposed theater building Of J.
G. Boss in Cherrydale met with strong
opposition by the latter at the meeting
last night of the Zoning Commission.
The new theater building, which
would cost approximately $4,000 to
build, is to be located across the car
tracks from the Cherrydale Volunteer
Fire Department, which Is located on
the Lee Highway.
Kinnier told the commission that he
and Saville had visited the site and
found that the building was to take up
the entire space Of several lots lying be-
tween Myers street and Donaldson ave-
nue.. Since these streets are now but 80
feet in width 1t was their opinion that
the theater should be shortened 10 feet
at either end In order to allow for flu
ture widening of the streets.
Effort at Compromise.
After an effort to effect a compromise
Of a 5-foot setback, Boss made an ap-
peal to the commission to consider what
the sacrifice of the land that would be
IT am poor man." Boss said in his
appeal, land such action on your part
would rob me Of ground that would
be worth between $4,000 and $4,000.
If I had known that there was any
possibility of such action, would have
thought for a long time before pur-
chasing the property"
Boss declared that he had erected II
theaters before this one, and that this
was the first time he had ever run into
any difficulties. The land on which he
proposes to erect the building is purely
commercial, he said, claiming that he
did not even know that the matter
would have to come before the Zoning
Commission at the time he made the
purchase.
Project Is Tabled.
When Boss refused to accept the con-
ditions under which the commission was
willing to grant the permit, the mat
ter was tabled for further consideration
The commission granted a permit to
Eugene Arlington to erect a $1,000 fill
ing station and storage room on the
Lee Highway at the intersection of
Spring Drive, In Lee Heights. AIRING
ton had the written approval of the
owner Of the subdivision for the station.

culture on a group of small islands
in the Arafura Sea, north of Australia,
was vouched for here yesterday by w.
Lloyd Warner, anthropologist. upon his
return from an expedition under the
auspices of the Rockefeller Foundation.
Warner said he had lived among
the aborigines on the Crocodile Islands
of the northern coast of Australia.
The Crocodile Islanders have no re-
ligion and have not reached the stage
where they can use bows and arrows,
he said.
1.-THE inhabitants of the Crocodile
Islands are the last stone age people
in the world Warner said. They
cook their food in holes among hot
rocks. They have polygamy. Their
only weapon is stone-headed spear.
The women do most of the work. There
is no money, everything is by ex-
change"
Warner said the islanders were big
and strong, had an elaborate social
organization with marked rules of con-
duct and that their children were obedi-
ent. They had no liquor, but used a
primitive tobacco. he said Warner is
on his way to Harvard University.
