streets are empty; the police, their
work done, stand in doorways. The
occasional noise Of a belated omnibus
rumbling along at top speed, or per-
haps of an ambulance hurrying to it's
station. seems unbearable. To me,
these ten or twenty minutes of silence
are harder on the nerves than any
bombardment. I think most people
feel the same: the noise of the first
bomb. Of the first gun, comes as a
positive relief.

Transport an Army OF
Two Million.

WASHINGTON June 2O.-Thc war
departments request for bids for
$4,000 army motor trucks brought
responses from 81 concerns thruopt
the country and when The offers were
opened today IT was found that the
total number for which bidders are
ready to contract is many times the
governments requirements. The csti-
mate of 5000 trucks was based on
the maximum transport needs of an
army Of two million men.
Virtually al the big motor COM
panics and many OF the smaller con-
Germs submitted bids Many types and
sizes were offered, the prices ranging
from s1,03l for one-ton trucks To
$1,000 for fivc-ton vehicles. Some Of
lhe manufacturers are ready to begin
delivery NJ once and others set dates
ranging up 10 six months in the
future.
II is estimated that there are not
more than forty thousand motor
trucks on the entire western battle
front in Europe, which proved ample
for the needs of the British French
and Belgian fighting forces. For this
reason some officials feel tha the
war department should not 20 above
its estimate Of $4,000 as he total to
be ordered. II Is expected that those
offering quickest deliveries will be
given preference in placing contracts

ATTENTION, PILL PUFFERS!
Sixty-Two Tulsa Tobacco Dealers
Now Have Cigarct License.

Sixty-two tobacco dealers of Tulsa
are entitled to sell cigarets today. this
being the number that have procured
license required for that purpose.
The recent state law which requires
license to sell cigarets goes int
effect today and makes 1t n peniten-
tiary offense for violation OF the pre-
vision.
Twenty licenses were taken out
yesterday at the office of the Tulsa
county clerk. The total of licenses
issued in Tulsa county is seventy.
eight of which are outside the city of
Tulsa.
1t is now evident that the license
law will be more or less Of pro-
hibitory nature, as there are many
dealers who will be forced to dis
continue the sale of cigarets rather
than pay something like $40 In fees

REAL SUMMER IS
JUST ABOUT DUE
Cool Nights Soon to Become
Rarity: Heat-Polluted Even
ings Now in Order.

Spring is officially over at mid
night tonight.
A careful perusal of an established
blood tonic almanac has shown that
the period of the year when the youth
of the land is at liberty To become so
mushy that IT could kiss COW passes
into oblivion with the peal of IL
gongs ushering in Friday. June %.
While courting and spooning will
not become lost art until next spring
such conduct will be questionable
and should be frowned upon in the
more refined circles, according to the
almanac.
1t is specifically stated in the alma
nae that they" may change with
impuuity at midnight tonight. The
heavier grade of bed draperies such
as comforts. quilts, blankets and the
like may be relegated to the dark and
musty recesses of the attic along with
a liberal sprinkling OF moth balls and
cedar shaVings.
Fans i'm Order.
They should not be stored in a place
that is in easy access. 1t is the un-
wavering contention of the heretofore
mentioned authority-the almanac
sion is granted within the covers of
the volume to step out for the purpose
OF obtaining generous supply of
palm leaf or electric propelled fans.
Sleeping porches may be busted out
and the lord and master of the domi-
cile may search around for the canvas
curtains that were carefully folded
away last winter. then proceed TO an
uptown shop and buy another set.
Following the hanging of the cur
tains about the sleeping porch they
may be occupied. This procedure is
not only permitted by the almanac,
but the chief of police has also an
nounced that he has no constitutional
right to voice objection so long as the
curtains are used as prescribed by law
Night Heat Polluted.
1t is calculated by the compiler of
the publication to which we have re-
ferred that polluted evenings and
nights are to be the order rather
than cool evenings and chilled morn
ing hours. Musquitos are scheduled to
appear within short time after sum
mer has been ushered in. Fabric,
guaranteeded to thwart the most per-
sistent efforts of the most desperate
regiment of buzz bugs that ever an
noyed light sleeper, may be procured
at any store maintained for the sale
of such cloth. Altho the war may
have boosted the price higher than
paid last year the bug bafflers are
still constructed of servicable material.
Shivers are to make way for sweat
or perspiration If you like.
Or, at least, 50 the almanac con-
tends.

The late Professor Jewett had n Gu
