CHANGES MADE IN TERRITORY
 LIQUOR RULES
Age Limit Changed to Is for Those Permitted in
 Liquor Dispensaries

Two changes in the liquor regu- lations were announced today by the Board of Liquor Control. One sets the age limit as 18 instead of 21 for persons who may go into liquor dispensary but sales must as before not be made to anyone un- der 21 years of age. The change will permit young people over IS to go into pool halls, candy stores or such places conducted in con- junction with liquor dispensaries but they can not buy liquor unless they are 2l.
 We feel that young fellows of IS should be allowed to play pool If they want to-" said Frank A. Boyle, Secretary of the Board, but we ask the full cooperation of persons operating these places to see that no liquor is sold to them.'
 In making the change 1t was pointed out that there was virtually no places for boys to go for amuse- ment if they were barred from re- creation parlors.
 The second change in the regu- lations prohibits the granting of a wholesale or retail license to, com mon carriers in the Territory. The new ruling is aimed particularly at boats who take aboard cargoes of liquor in the states and make Alaska ports, peddhng from the ships, often underseling, local wholesalers. The board felt, it was unfair competition. Boat. licenses for the dispensing of liquor aboard the ship. however, will continue to be granted.
