Men of Lewis Must
Prink Deep If They
Dring at All
LON DUX. api:i r. -Stornoway,
Scotland, lias gone "dry" under local
option and according to evidence
given at an inquest recently, the
place is full of rreorts where liquor
is being sold illegally. However,
many men of Stornoway have a
method of quenching their thirst
by indulging lr- their favorite bev
erage, beer, and at the same time,
keeping within the law. There Is
still one wholesale establishment In I
Stornoway where beer is Fold, but
nothing lees than four and half gal
lons may be sold at one time by the
vendor. A practice which Is grow
ing in favor with a certain class of
me naiul becoming somewhat com
mon is for them to club togther
and buy the minimum quantity of
boor allowed by the law and then
indulge to the limit. The police
have no power to interfere with
a group of men drinking If they
have not obtained less than the
prescribed four and a 'half gallono.
hence group drinking is on the in
crease.
