Special to The White Pine News.
Carson City, August 30.-the re-
lation between the value of the traf-
fc on the state highways and the
character of the road material used
is given some light in a recent men,
orandum prepared by State Highway
Engineer George w. Borden and sub
mitted to Governor Scrugham. 1t
appears that but three highway di.
visions carry more than 1000 vehi-
cles daily, according to the recent
census and these check up generally
with the roads that are hard-sur-
faced. The Reno-Carson road with
a travel of 1925 daily in mid-sum-
lmer; the Reno-Sparks Rad with
2235 and the road north from Ely
with 1898 are the divisions bearing
the great burden of trace.
Engineer Borden's letter follows:
J. G.. Scrugham, Governor, Car
son City, Nevada.
Dear Governor: l am present

lieye me, all the world Is listening to
what you have TO say.
/ do feel that peace is really the first
concern OF women and for two reasons
The first is that, after all. the primary
sacrifice is demanded OF men, In physi-
cal defense, and the women should see
to II that such a horror shall never be
asked of them again.
Only in Il few countries and in iso-
lated cases have women actually borne
arms, for IL Is peculiarly revolving to
common sense that women, who in the
costly sense give life, should take it
The burden of defense therefore has
been on the man. and again and again.
they have. in fulfillment Of that de-
fense. taken life as religious and moral
duty.
Modern man is too civilized for mod
ern warfare. Men have suffered too
much. Poison gas and high explosives
are too devastating and brutalizing
Responsibility Up to Women.
Few survived four hideous years of
war. The survivors served q much
shorter period. and with few exceptions
the, perfectly appalling strain has
broken something, and. even IL physi-
cally whole, they are mentally shat
tered. So, because the immediate strain
does fall on the minds. the hearts and
the bodies Of men. / feel that the re-
sponsibility falls on the women.
Just as the duty Of defense has
been imposed upon man, so the duty
of making the home has always been
imposed on women. And. as women,
we know that only love can make q
home.

Railways Criticized.
Leonard D. Baldwin of New York,
principal speaker at the day session.
voicing the criticism of the railways,
said that the American transportation
systems had not progressed on the
same scale that other national indus
tries had advanced. The railroads. he
declared, are 30 per cent behind the
lead Of the country.
Comparing conditions of 1920 with
those Of today. Mr.. Baldwin said that
while in 1920 there were failures
everywhere. there is now a great de-
mand for all materials and commodi-
ties and that there Is no need for
anybody to be idle. There is plenty
OF good business ahead for everybody,
he said, and that the only question is
labor.
Living In .'Promised Land
"People who once worked in bitches
and on railroads. now decline to do
that kind Of work." said Mr.. Baldwin,
