WOULD CLOSE AT
 6 ON SATURDAYS
L. Block of Parisian Company Says His Firm Is Ready to Sign
 Agreement

Declaring that his firm not only was ready and willing to join in a general movement to close the stores of Birming- ham at o'clock Saturday night, L. Block of the Parisian company yesterday stated that he also would be glad to serve on a committee of newspaper men, ladies or of a civic organization committee to call upon the merchants and ask them to join in such a movement.
 MT. Block stated that in practically every city in the east the stores closed their doors at 6 o'clock on Saturdays, and many of the merchants close an hour earlier.
 Birmingham is a metropolitan city and there is no good reason why it's stores should not join the ranks of stores in other metropolitan cities and close their doors at o'clock Saturday nights" said MT. Block. "Of course. the Parisian com- pany could not take the initiative and close its doors unless there was an agree ment with the other merchants.
 'I should be glad to serve on any com mittee that may be named to call upon the merchants and ask them to join in such a movement. And Robert Murphy, our publicity and welfare man, also would De WllHnS 10 serve on the committee. Both of us would give our time to the matter and believe it would result in ulti- mate good.
 From a humanitarian standpoint it would be a good thing to do. From busi- ness standpoint, one merchant can't do it. We must all cooperate in order to make it a success. It would be of great benefit to the employees of the stores and would mean about four hours of rest to. them each week. =ssH
 "Of course, the closing at o'clock on Saturday niFLt would not affect the half holiday oD Thursdays of each week. The haR heliday would stand and the closing Ut 6 o'clock would be but a step forward. It is a matter that should be vigorously pressed and I stand ready to assist in any way possible in bringing it about. The Parisian store will be among the first to sign an agreement to close at o'clock.
 It has been pointed out that in addition to Drennen company and the Partisan there are only about nine shops to be heard from. A committee of ladies has been working for several years to the end that the Birmingham stores close their doors at o'clock the year round. This committee, however, has asked all stores to close. The mems clothing stores object on the ground that the working man has no time other than Saturday night to do his shopping.
 This always has been considered good reason. The matter now is to be placed before stores that cater to ladies, the supposition being that the ladies have time to shop in the afternoon on Satur- days and should do so.

BUMPER WHEAT CROP

 in History of Kansas

Maj. F. B. Dodge. who returned last week from vacation in the west, says that the wheat crops in that section are the greatest that country has ever known. That train after train of men to harvest the crops are being sent into that country was another feature of the big crop that attracted the attention of Major Dodge.
 T passed freight train after freight train filled to the overfiowing with men going west to help harvest the crop" said Major Dodge. "The railroads are allowing men for that work to ride for nothing.

the muscles acting on the ribs, these

THE NARRoWEST ATLANTIC.
II Lies Between Brazil and Guinea;
1000 Miles.

Between Brazil and Guinea the Al
lantic ocean is only about 1,SOO miles
wide. From Newfoundland to Ireland,
the narrowest breadth north of the
equator. is nearly twice as far From
New York to the nearest point o.
France is nearly three times as tar'
Hitherto most schemes of aerial flight
across the Atlantic have contem-
plated some northern route. Ihal
suggested by the authorities of the
San Francisco expedition is by way
of Labrador, Greenland and Ireland
If has remained for the Dutch ava
tor, Van der Born, to make the hrst
preparation to cross the ocean from
continent to continent without stop,
and he proposes to take the southern
| route, where the Atlantic is narrow
est.
Van der Born is now supervising
the construction of new type ol
hyGro-aeroplane. When it is complete
he will go to the port of konakey'
in French Guinea, whence he prom
ises to fly to Pernambuco, Brazil
The scheme is more plausible thah
anv of the other discussed trans
oceanic flights. 1t is natural and sen
sible that the first crossing shoulo
be attempted at the narrowest place
even though the flight be longer thar
any one OF the stages of the Green
land route. There is, of course, the
danger of tropical current, but these
are not much of sub-Arctic regions
which are suggested for the northern
route.
No one who has observed the pros
ress of aviation doubts that befor
long the Atlantic will be crossed b.
