It is far cry from oil wells to aviation but the

therefore predicted that the air forces of Great Britain
will profit 10 very large degree under the stimulus
Of lord CowdTsys efforts.

CLOSE At NOON
ON SAT URDkY
Movement to GloseaII Business
Houses at Noon During
July and August

In conversation with one of our
prominent physicians today he urged
that all places OF business be closed
at noon on Saturdays during the
months OF July and August. He said
that it was most advisable as a health
measure. particularly at the present
time when the people generally are
under more or less high tension on
account Of the war. During the very
hot weather vitality is at low ebb and
people are more likely to become en-.
cryated unless they are given rest and
recreation.
The idea strikes us as a capital one,
and number Of merchants have ex.
pressed their willingness to join in
the movement. The Independent will
act upon the suggestion and our Sat
urday editions during the months OF
July and August will be out at noon.
and the Office will be closed at that
hour.

WINE WORTH $4,000
PERPLEXES UNIVERSITY

ATLANTA, Ga. July 2.-Twenty
thousand gallons of wine left to the
University of Georgia by the will OF
the late Judson L. Hand is causing
the trustees quit bit of worry.
Under the bone dry laws of the state
it is unlawful to keep the wine, and
it is equally unlawful to sell it. II
is too much TO drink, and ii is a mis-.
demeanor to give it away.
To complicate the situation, the
university needs the $4,000 the wine
would bring. The trustees are try
ing TO solve the problem, but it is
likely the legislature will be asked to
enact a special law to govern the
case.
