Highways to
Get Army Trucks.

Washington, d. C., May 30th.--
The Tennessee Highway Department
will receive thirty-nine three-ton
trucks and eighty-three two-ton
trucks as the States quota of army
trucks for road building.
The War department has turned
over twenty thousand motor trucks
to the Department of Agriculture to
be distributed to the states for that
purpose.
All that the states must do to ac-
quire these trucks is to pay the load
ing and freight charges and agree to
use them on road construction in
whole or in part under Federal aid,
which OO,OOO.OOO was recently ap-
propriatcd by Congress.
Tho trucks were declared surplus
by the War Department and, being
no longer needed for war uses, for
which they were bought. it has been
determined to divert them TO peace
purposes and at the same timeextend
the aid the Federal Government is
giving the states in highway con-
structiun.
The motors viii be allotted TO
states only on request Of highway of
flcialS in accordance with the appor-
tionment provided in the Federal aid
law. approved in 1916. Under the law
there can he no distribution to coun-
ties or individuals, but only to states.

Garrett Asks
Repeal OF Law.

Washington, May S0.---Representa-
tive Finis ]. Garrett has introduced a
bill to repeal so much of the recent
revenue act as prevented dealers in
loose leaf tobacco from resellng in
small quantities to consumers.
In the revenue act of 1909 an
amendment was inserted which per-
mitted persons to purchase from to-
bacco growers and resell to consum-
ers in small quantities tobacco in the
natural leaf without the payment of
any tax. In the final stages of the
recent revenue bill in the Senate an
amendment was adopted which re-
pealed this provision. Under the OPP
GRAFTON of the law of 1909 many re-
tail dealers in loose leaf tobacco had
established businesses and many of
these were hard hit" by the recent
legislation forced upon the revenue
bill by the action of the Senate,
Mr.. CARROTS bill was referred to
the Ways and Means Committee. The
representatives in Congress from the
tobacco districts in particular are
much interested and it is expected at
an early date a hearing will be had
before the committee on teh measure.
The bill of Mr.. Garrett as nitro
duced would restore the law to exact
" what it was under the act of 1909,
but, in discussing it to-day, he said:
II doubt whether it will be posi-
BILE to secure the enlistment of 1t SO
as to enable persons to deal tax free;
the dealers with whom | have dis
cussed the matter, however, are not
insisting that they shall have the
right to deal without paying a tax
The outrage of it is that they are
prohibited from dealing at all. 1t is
an injustice both to the dealer and to
the consumer and surely we should
be able to bring about some relief to
this situation"
1t should be understood that the
recent legislation did not in any way
affect the right of the farmer to sell
tobacco of his, own growth to who
ever might desire to purchase it and
in whatever quantities desired
Under ruling Of the Treasury De
partmcut, made in letter addressed
to Mi Garrett, it IS held that farm
ers are also permitted To pool their
crops an employ an agent to sell, hut
such agent must be paid fixed sal
sry and cannot work upon a commits
sion basis or a profit basis without
becoming loose leaf dealer and thus
subject to the penalties of the act

Gleason recalled that a game won the
second day of the season was just
as valuable in the team standing as
one captured on opening day.
''You win, Eddie!' replied this vet.
eran conditioner of athletes.
That is why the preseason dope OF
Cicotte's pitching the opener all went
awry. Williams hurled the first game
and Eddie the second. Gleason was
skeptical about the superstition bust.
ness, but was eager to find out wheth.
er Cicotte was working on a lucky
bunch. Eventualities have proved that
Eddie was laboring on a lucky tip.
Victorious In 1917 Season.
AS the dope ran, Cicotte failed to
pitch the opening game in 1917 and the
world knows what happened. He lit.
orally sifted through the circuit with
his mixed assortment of slab wares
like a shell through a shack of straw.
The preceding season Cicotte started
the ball rolling in the American
league for the SOx and he had a medi-
Ocre season.
In 1918 Clcotte pitched the opener
for former Manager Rowland. Ones
memory doesn't need to be refreshed
to recall what happened last year. CT
cote travelled f1fty-one innings with
out a run being scored behind his slab
bling. It was counted among his I'M
lucky years.
With a small portion of the 1919
season reeled off, Cicotte looks to be
invinclble on the hill His delivery
seems identical with that Of 1917,
when he won the league flag for Chi
cagO hands down.
CicOtte today is the most feared
pitcher in the American league just
as he was in 1917 when he didn't pitch
the first game for the Chicago Sox.

WORLD SERIES HERO
BACK WITH PIRATES
Babe Adams, Veteran Pitcher,
Will Try to Come Back.
After Being Dropped by Pittsburgh In
1917, He Drifted Into Western
League and Then to Kansas
cIty-Made Good.

Charles, B. ("Babe'') Adams, hero of
the 1909 world series. will try to come
back with the Pittsburgh Pirates this
year. Adams is thirty-five years old
and a real veteran as pitchers go.
It was in 1916 that Adams took the
toboggan with the Pirates and was
labeled as through by the scribes. His
pitching for that year was more or less
Of joke, for he won but two games
and succeeded in losing nine more be-
fore Barney nreyfus made up his
mind to let his Veteran star 60.
In 1917 Adams drifted into the West
ern league, signed up with Jack Hol-
land at Hutchinson and staged come
back that surprised everybody. He
won 90 games Of bali for the Hutehin-
son team and lost 10, and he was
rated as one of the hardest working
pitchers in the league, which has al
ways been noted as a league, that har-
bors many a hard-hitting youngster,
and many a crafty old-timer who is
on his way back.
Adams record with the Hutchinson
club won him trial with John Camel
at Kansas City last season and during
the abbreviated pennant race in which
the Blues won the pennant Adams
captured IA games of ball and lost but
three for the Kansas City club.
This feat won him his chance to try
a real comeback with the Pirates this
year and HIS boosters are predicting
that he will make good.
