High Highways Now Preferred Engineer* Willfully Seek 1 Obstacles Shunned by Pioneers. WASHINGTON.—The supremacy of the highway to the top of Pikes peak, 14,110 feet high, as the highest automobile road in the world, has been challenged by the newly constructed highway which reaches almost to the top of Mount Evans west of Denver. This challenge re. calls the gradual eVolution of highway construction.

“The rivers were the first American highways, and thjir valleys afforded the more level routes to early roadbuilders,” says the National Geographic society. “Today, roadbuilding has seemingly gone into reverse, with engineers willfully seeking the very obstacles shunned by the pioneers, to provide scenic thrills for a motorized civilization. With seeming aimlessness, great parkways now are built, elongated parks containing broad roads dedicated solely to recreational and social use, through rights of way 800 feet wide, designed to give to the motorist the impression of great open spaces. For Pleasure Motoring. "In the 27 national parks alone there are today 1,938 miles of highway, constructed primarily for the pleasure of motoring over scenic or historic routes', a highway system greater than from New York city to Denver, or, if straightened out, from Chicago to San Francisco.

Chinese Women To Fight Japan 3,000 of Them Drop Tools Of Peace and Take Up Tools of War. HONGKONG. About 3,000 of Kwangsi’s hardy womenfolk have laid aside the sickle and hoe for the big sword and Mauser rifle and joined their men in resisting the Japanese penetration in the southwest. For the 22 months of the war China’s New Life movement has carried extensive propagation of the significance of China’s unity to the rura.’ districts. China’s womenhood has been mobilized under Mme. Chiang Kai-shek’s banner in all phases of war work—but in Kwangsi, a province famed for its fighting men and national spirit, it has been the peasant women who have taken the initiative in rallying for the salvation of their country. Not content with performing domestic services in connection with Kwangsi’s armies, they have become soldiers of the line, wider the leadership of Mme. Pai Chug-hsi, wife of Kwangsi’s No. 2 general Recent reports from the southwestern front state thgt the Women's regiment is participating in' the defense of the Llngyang railway in an effort to prevent the Japanese drive on Toishan, Yanping and Hoiping, rich towns in the West river delta.

Corps Speedily Formed. When their men first rallied to Kwangsi’s commander in chief, Gen. Li. Tsung-jen and followed him to central and northern China at the outbreak of hostilities, the more prominent among Kwangsi’s women, as in most other provinces, organized a Women’s corps. They were recruited for service behind the lines and in carrying on agriculture and industry at home. But as the months rolled on, the war assumed a new significance for Kwangsi women. The battles of Taierhchwang and Hsuchow, in which General Li’s Fifth Group army won’fame, swelled the number of widows and bereaved mothers and sisters in Kwangsi. In increasing numbers bands of sturdy women land workers presented themselves at the Group army headquarters in Kweillin, demanding to be allowed to join their men in the ranks or to be permitted to fight the enemy to avenge the death of a male relative. It was in the latter part of 1937 that the first really militant section of the Women’s corps was formed. At first it numbered about 700, composed mainly of land workers with muscles as hardened as those of their men through years of toil in their mountainous province; but as the spirit spread the ranks of the Women’s regiment swelled with enlistments from all walks of lifeteachers, nurses, store assistants and even housewives. Regiment Has 3,000. Now the Women’s regiment is reliably estimated to number 3,000. “No streamlined beauties these,” said an executive of an American oil company when he returned from a tour of the southwest during which he came into contact with the women soldiers. “Amazons,” is a rather overused term, but it is the only one which describes them. “Most of them are short and of sturdy build. In appearance they are not unlike the Japanese soldiers. TRY THE CLASSIFIED ADS.
