Ice caves that are natural cold

WAR ORDERS AND TRADE

Many business men have been wor-
rying about the future of their busi-
ness in war time. If they were pro
ducing something that could be con-
sidercd a luxury, they feared that
people would stop buying their prod
uct.
No doubt many luxury making
plants do face hard outlook. But
many others have adjusted them
selves 10 the situation. Countless
florists. for instance, are now raising
vegetables. And still more interest
ing, a trade paper note reveals that
great many producers of fine dress
goods are now making vat goods.
They are turning out gas mask cover
ings, airplane cloth. balloon cloth.

ARMY SUPPLY SERVICE

Many young men who are beyond
draft age are finding an interesting
field open to them in the army supply
service. II a man is too old TO 20 as
soldier but wishes to serve his
country, there is plenty Of opportu
nifty.
Some people look at work in the
QuartcTmasters and engineering de.
partments as not entitled TO any spec
ial credit. Yet a great many of the
men who have gone over to operate
transportation, organize supply sys.
tens and mechanical work. have done
50 at a business sacrifice. They have
given up good jobs purely from a de-
sire to help out and take some part
in the big push.
OF course it is an intcres.ilg busi.
ness proposition, too, and many men
will find it opens new opportunities.
As many trains are 10 be run in each

ton that should keep him in his bus
mess career Some of the army sup
ply work is exposed TO the same dan
gers as trench fighting The field
bakeries are frequently within gun
range and the men who supply the
front line trenches have no soft job.
American engineers at the time of
the fighting around Cambrai had TO
drop their instruments and use their
suns on the attacking Germans. As
a whole, however, the supply service
involves no particular risk. Never

these tasks are performing absolutely
essential work and are entitled to a
share in the glory.

NJ 'CARRAN IS OUT
OF SENATOR FIGHT
Supreme Justice Says Will Not
Run This Year, But Will
Support Henderson
tFrom the Reno Gazette)

CARSON CITY, Feb. 27.-Judge p
a, McCarran, chief justice of the su.
preme court, announced this morning
that he would not be a candidate for
the senate or the house of represen.
tatiyes at the next election.
Several OF my friends and many
prominent democrats in the state
have urged me to make the race for
senator or for representative" said
Judge McCarran. but at the present
time feel that l must decline"
This declaration by Judge McCar.
ran sets ut rest many rumors in dem
ocratic circles regarding Judge Nc
Carran's plans. II was thought for
some time that he would make the
race against Senator Henderson for
the nomination, as he was an active
aspirant for the place vacated by the
death of Senator Newlands. II is con.
sidcred likely now that he will throw
his support to Senator Henderson at
the primaries.
In some places it was thought he
would oppose Caine and Horsey for
the nomination for the house of repre-.
scntatives but this was not generally
considered likely course for him to
pursue since he had been an aspirant
for the senate on two different occa.
sions.
The judicial inhibition clauses in
the state constitution which Judge
McCarran ran up against in his pri-
mary race against Senator Pittman
in 1916 is thought to have had con.
siderable TO do with his decision to
remain out OF the race this year, al
though he has made no announcement
as to his further plans in regard to
the supreme bench.
His term on the supreme court
bench will expire on December 81 OF
this year.

MARRIAGE AND
HIGH PRICES

The high prices now prevailing
must discourage many young people
from immediate marriage Yet mar
riagc Is our basic institution, it must
be made practical. and there are
many losses when 1t has to be defer
red.
one theory OF the Otuc0me is that
great many women will continue their
moncy.carning occupations after their
marriage. A lot of them are doing II
now. But the usual feeling in the
business world Is that the younger
married women are subject to such in
tcrruptions that they cannot fill reg.
ular positions where continuous work
Is required.
As little family OF children comes
along, the mother is needed at home
for their proper training There is a
great social loss If she must absent
herself all day to help support the
family, No hired help can supply the
place of mothers love or devotion.
The practical tendency Of modern
conditions does tend, however. to
limit the number OF children raised.
and Il will lead more and more mar
ried women to continue business en-.
gagCmcnts.
It is still possible for young people
to marry early II they will adjust
themselves 10 the present situation.
This calls for living in small quarters.
for elimination of labor costs and
service. The ample spaced old homes
our fathers used to keep are not popu.
lar with many young people now. A
house with ono third the floor space
may rent for just as much as one of
the lavish sized old dwellings,.
Young people are foolish if they
allow their marriage to be postponed
by artificial standards Of living. The
Joys OF married life should Compcn.
saic for much hard work. and love
should make up f6r living in unfash.
