JACKSON HIGHWAY MEETING TOMORROW
 AT CIVIC CHAMBER
Senator Underwood, w. s. Keller and John Craft Are Among Those Scheduled
 to Make Addresses

At the meeting of the Jackson highway, chairman and supporters from the states through which the highway passes to of Commerce tomorrow morning at 10:3O o'clock, H. Key Mlner will preside.
 Of all the routes selected or proposed for national highway, the Jackson high way is said to be the most direct route and the shortest from the lakes to the gulf, either to New Orleans by way of Mobile, or to Miami, Fla, which is today the Mecca of northern tourists. This route is from Chicago to New Orleans by the way of Lafayette and Indianapolis to Louisville, from Louisville over the Central Lincoln highway, of which Peter L. Atherton of Louisville is president. The highway will go through Bardstown to Lincoln farm, on down to Mammoth cave through Hodgesville and Scotts- vile, Ky, to Nashville, out to the Herm- itage, back to Nashville on down the old Louisville and Nashville turn pike to Franklin, Columbia, Pulaski, through Ath- ens Ala, to Decatur, on down south to Birmingham, Clanton and Montgomery through Selma, down by old St. Stephens to Mobile, along the old Shell road, skirt ing the gulf shore to Baton Rogue down Into New Orleans. This route has been worked up and talked about through the press and in magazines until 1t is recognized as the Jackson highway from the lakes-to-the-gulf from coast to coast.
 The plan and purpose of the Jackson highway organization, which was launched four years ago in Birmingham, under the auspices of the Alabama daugh- ters of 1912, was to build and maintain from county to county, state to state, a national highway from Chicago over the above named rotue to New Orleans, to be called the Jackson highway as a monument to Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States.
