Young Womeuas Christian associa-

Of the four weeks and before that

WANT WAR RESTRICTION
OF SALOONS CONTINUED
Sir Archibald Salv;dge Believes That
Wartime Hours for Public Houses
Should be Continued Right Along

According to an Associated Press
London correspondent, Sir Archibald
Salvidge of Liverpool, managing di-
rector of brewery company which
OWNS 800 public houses, proposes that
the wartime restrictions upon drink
ing hours be continued.
Under the old regulations public
houses in London closed at midnight
and might open at any hour m the
morning they pleased. Most OF them
opened at 600, but in some working
districts they were open at 500 and
among the evils of that system was
the custom among many working men
OF drinking beer before breakfast.
The present hours for opening are
from 1880 to 500 in the afternoon
and from 600 to 1000 at night, with
shorter hours on Sunday.

Nothing could be done TO repair the
broken pat OF the engine and so the
boat drifted slowly ashore and hit the
sand right plumb against Zion City.
In order to tighten the boat and if
possible to get her into deep water
clear of Zion City, the captain ordered
the cargo stored on the beach and the
81 cases of beer were piled up on the
shore. About this time a resident of
Zion City saw the strange ship and it's
