TRUCKS AIDING ROAD PLANS
Long Island Cited as Example OF
Prosperity Maintained by Eff
cient Highway System.

tBy WINDSOR T. WHITE, Chairman
Motor Truck Committee, National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce.)
Motor highway transportation has
grown to such vast Importance In the
past few years and has so well DEM
onstrated Its value and efficiency that
II has won official public recognition In
mnny of our states. But this activity
can develop In sound economic way
only as good roads programs are de-
veloped. While there are examples
where motor transportation has sue
ceeded when run In territories that
have undeveloped roads, they, In COM
parison with the thousands of mo-
tortruck routes, are practically negli-
gble.
One of our greatest wastes In the
handling of the prime necessity, food,
occurs in our present transportation
methods Hundreds of millions of dol
lars are annually wasted because the
present method of transportation
adapted to our present road system, Is
so costly that It does not pay to move
this food from the farm to an area of
consumption.
1t Is said that New York state has
1S,400 miles of surface highways and
79,3oS miles Of unlmprOved rural ronds.
While the state has much higher per-
centage of improved roads than is com
mon for the United States, they do not
benefit the farmer as much as could
be desired.
Long Island is one of the most pros
porous agricultural areas in New York
state. 1t Is not exceptionally fertile; in
fact, 1t may be said that it is fertile
because man has made it So There are
many areas In the state that are nat
urally more productive than Long Is
land, but which are far less prosper

Laughlin.
"In the beginnings of the profess

in the actual care of the sick. But
medicine, as a profession. was linked
in primitive times with tribal leader

extent that it belonged almost entirely
to men.

years that women were admitted to

nave seen in our great war the way in
"hich men and women naturally lined
up on the primitive basis. The men
vi the nations, in this country, Eng
iahu' france and the Others went into
military service. The women took up
the Industries.
Now the surprise attendant upon
the news that women were working
In munition factories, were running
streetcars and doing mems work in
Offices wouldn't have been so great
perhaps, If we had all remembered a
little more of our pre-history"
Miss Laughlin reminds us that in
his account of primitive races the late
Otis I. Mason, curator Of ethnoogy
in the United States National Museum
points out some of the industries which
began as woman's work. He says:
1.-THE slain deer lying before her cave
or brush shelter or wigwam She
strikes off a sharp flake of flint for
knife. By that act she becomes the
first cutler.
with this knife she carefully re-
moves the skin, little dreaming that
thereby she is making herself the
patron saint of all subsequent
butchers.
'She rolls up the hide, then dresses
1t with brains, smokes 1t, currles it.
breaks it with implements of stone
and bone until she makes her reputa-
ton as the first currier and tanner.
with needle of bone and thread of
sinew and scissors of flint. she cuts
and makes the clothing for her lord
and family; no sign is over the door,
but within dwells the first tailor and
dressmaker.
From leather especially prepared
she cuts and makes moccasins for her
husband, thereby beginning the shoe
industry.
"She was toymaker for her chill
dren, modiste. mllliner, upholsterer
wall decorator for her family.
"She was at first and is now the
universal cook. From the grasse,
around her cabin she constructs the
floor mat, the mattress, the screen, tho
wallet, the sail.
"She is the mother of all spinners
weavers, upholsterers, sailmakers."
Again he says:
ITO the ield she goes with tn,
basket or wallet strapped across he
forehead. BY the sweat of her fac,
she earns her bread and becomes tn,
first pack animal"
Home again with her grain o
acorns. she thrashed and ground then
into flour or bran, thereby n,otherln,
the thrashing industry and the mill
ing. Where 1t way impossible to fin,

she designed and built the first wig

"All the peaceful arts Of today.
continues the account, "were ono

Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1920-04-10

Jobs In cookingl Cooking is mans
job and womafl's place Is the parlor."
AS matter of fact, there probably
are highly paid chefs today who feel
just that way about 1t.
The situation was getting to the
point where there was no place for
the women in the working world to
go but out. There are even some ex-
tremists who believe that the care Of
children should be taken out of the
home and away from the mothers
hands.
1T Is here the clinging vine gets
into the picture" said Miss Laughlin.
"She developed as a dollhouse plant,
because there was nothing much for
her to do. Industry had been moved
from the home. Womans place was
still in the home, but there was moth
ing for her to do. Often the mothers
of these idle girls were responsible for
their parasitism, because they had had
to work so very hard themselves that
their ideal for their daughters was a
condition which would make it pos
sible for them to do nothing harder
| than sit on a cushion and sew fine
seam.
"But the swing backward toward
primitive standards, when woman was
worker, to the cave man period, If
you choose, made long sweep during
the war. Women had been seeplng
into the professions and businesses
before that time, but their progress
had been almost imperceptible.
''Thus old-time efficiency, inherited
from their industrious grandmothers,
no doubt, asserted itself with their new
wartime jobs. Employers were salts
fled and clients made happy. So the
women are staying with their new
work."
According to Miss Laughlin, there
isn't anything disastrous in the situa-
ton. She believes that there Is plenty
of work to be done for both men and
women in industrial and professional
lines.
"EF cheney and work are not mat
tiers OF SEX" Is her dictum.
Miss Laughlin is far from the "cave
woman in looks, but she Is endowed
with vigor of mind and spirit which
