1T has seemed to be very desira-
BILE to have the relationship between
the u. s. Railroad Administration
and the state railroad and public
utility clarified and a plan worked
out by which these public authori-
ties can move forward together in
the public interest He adds that
for this reason he invited the exec
utive and special war committees
of the National Association Of Rail
way and Utilities Commission to coh-
fer with him in Washington on Feb.
10 and 20 and after a full discus
sion Order No. IS was issued an

railroad Administration.
II earnestly desire to accord to
the public the best possible service
and request the assistance Of the
state commissions III investigating
and reporting the facts, with their
recommendations In reference to tbs
existing service. i am asking each
state commission, in SO far as it can
conveniently do so, to investigate
the character OF freight and passeng.

track and equipment, the prompt

and the general efficiency of the

and to advise the Railroad Admins
tration Of the results Of their investi-
cations sending one copy to the d.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
TO remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to fnoisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of it. no matter how much
dandruff you may have
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.

Standing Of Teams.

*Played one game tie score.
TwwY
One Of the deciding games of the
Junior league was played at the play
ground last evening when the Giants
won victory over the Indians, by the
score of Z to S. The game was by far
the best that has been played this sea-
son, both teams were very evenly
matched and were out to win.
Timely hitting won the game for the
Giants for which Wills and PARCELS
were largely responsible. In two diff
ferent innings Wills scored man by
securing a hit and at one other time
scored on his own hit by stealing
bases while his team mates struck
out In the seventh PARCELS put the
ball over the fence for two Dagger
and scored two men which really
made the turning point of the game.
Both pitchers pitched good ball and
were given good support.
The Junior schedule is rapidly
drawing to a close and the defeat or
the Indians last evening leaves two
teams struggling for the pennant. The
two leading teams have not met this
season, and the deciding game which
is to be played Monday evening OF
next week is looked forward to with
much interest. The Indians cannot
entirely be counted out of the race
until after their game with sthe Mid
gets on Friday evening of this week.
The score by innings is given below:

NEW YORK, May 15-Eddie CT
Votes comeback has put the White
Sox on a pennant-aspiring basis. Ger
tainly spring games don't win pen
nants, but they figure in fall percent
age court, but the veteran star Of 1917
worlds series and campaign not only
has proven the best pitcher for the
Sox so far, but he succeeded yesterday
in defeating the worlds champion
Fed Sox, setting them back with four
hits and no runs.
Without Cicotte's come back, the
Sox would have been hopeless in their
contention for the pennant. With him
iii form they not only are dangerous,
hut probably are the equal Of the
Yankees and Red Sox, the two teams
which appeared on early form to have
the call on the fall battles.
Coupled with the drive Cicotte Is
making. is the tremendous hitting or

whose hitting since he Joined the Chi

lished standard while with Cleveland.
has started off this year as though he
intends TO take tH6 DdIllnB leadership
OF the league and run to the end with
it.
1t is probable Jackson's clouting has
had as much to do with the position
OF the Sox as anything aside from the
pitching Of Cicotte.
These Sox looked good enough to
win another championship a year ago,
but the war inroads and the inability
of Clarence Rowland to coax the best
from his men, left them laundering
about the league In helpless fashion.
Kid Gleason has put punch in the
mems spirit, has brought Cicotte to
form and is sailing along serenely.
There is no doubt that the selection
OF the former coach as its manager
was a very wise move by Owner
Comiskey. (

Account Of His Big Ex-

The Huns are not efficient nor
smart-they are simply blockheads,"
said Col. Dan Morgan Smith last even
ing in his lecture at Trinity Methodist
church. on his experiences In the
world war.
He commanded battalion when a
major, in some OF the hottest fighting
of the war and his battalion was nick
named the battalion of death. The
Chicago Herald DEVOTED a page to it's
exploits last February.
Colonel Smith said that German
manufactures, German science, Ger
man scholarship and German things
generally are not very good and not up
to what America furnishes He took
this up in some detail and demon
strated his thesis to the satisfaction
OF all his auditors.
A Bonehead Stunt.
He told how the Huns shelled his
POSITION at exactly the same time
every day with exactly forty shells.
When the time arrived, the Americans
simply went into their dugouts and
counted forty shells arriving and then
came out and laughed at the Germans.
That is a fair sample of how the Ger
mans have always done things and
always will do them until they learn
lot more than they know now.
There was prohibition whip
cracker on his very interesting and
whirlwind lecture on his war exper-
fences.
Colonel Smith is Virginian with a
delightful southern accent very
marked. He captured his audience
