Sunday Rest in Italy.

The question of Sunday rest is be-
ing agitated to a large extent in Italy,
and a commission was named some
time ago which recommended that as
far as possible an uninterrupted rest
of from so to SO hours should be in
sured to all the working classes, and
that in case Of public services, the
men who worked on Sundays should
have one day off in the week by turns,
domestic servants being. entitled to
half holiday week. The law does
not apply to fishermen.

THE EARTH ROAD DRAG.
A. N. Johnson, State Highway En-
gineer Of Illinois, Tells How
It Is Built.

Mr.. A, \. Johnson, state highway
engineer of Illinois, describes the
earth road drag.
Inc exact form or style of drag to
be used is not the most essential part
OF road dragging. Most any device
Will prove effective which will move
small amount of earth towards the
middle of the road and at the same
time slick over the surface. AS the
whole theory and effectiveness of road
dragging depends on the moving OF
but small amount of earth at a time,
1t is important that no road drag be
used which is of heavy design. In
fact the lighter and more simple the
drag the more effective it usually is.
This drag is made from 10 or u
inch log, eight or nine feet long. The
cross braces are four-inch sticks
shaped to fit into two-inch hole. A
board platform, not shown in the cut,
is laid on the cross pieces for the
driver to stand upon.
A simple stick of timber or piece of
railroad iron has proved useful for
this work. V-shaped drags have also
been used, but seem to meet an OBJ
lection, due to the fact of their heavy
draught. Perhaps the most effective
form of drag is that known as the
split log drag which may also be
made of two stout planks in place of
the split log. Oak or other heavy
wood should not be used where it is
possible to get log of lighter wood.
We show sketch for a split log
drag which is SO simple in construc-
ton that it can be made on every
farm. The log should be from ten to
IL inches in diameter and about nine
feet long. The holes in the front half
of the log should be bored so that a
slight slant forward is given to the
lower part of the front face of the
split log. The holes in the rear log
are bored so that its fiat face will be
perpendicular to the sticks forming
the connecting braces, which should
be tapered at the ends sO- that they
will fit snugly into the holes bored
into the logs. The holes should not
be less than two inches in diameter
The ends of the cross sticks should
be split and wedges driven so as to
secure the cross braces in place. The
wedges should be driven crOsswise of
the grain of the log or plank so as
not to split it. A diagonal cross brace
Is placed between the logs at the
leading end to stiffen the frame of
the drag.
The distance from the face of the
back log to the face of the front log
should be about three feet. The low
er front edge or toe of the drag should
be protected and three or four inches
wide and about four feet long. This
strip of iron should be bolted to the
front log and the heads of the bolts

countersunk. The strip of iron should
not be carried the entire length of the
front log.
The plank drag Is made from two
pieces of ten or II inch plank, two or
three inches thick and eight or nine
feet long, reinforced by two-inch by
six-inch strip, The cross braces are
four-inch sticks shaped to fit two
inch hole. A board platform, not
shown in the cut is laid on the cross
pieces for the driver to stand upon
Chains should be provided with
which to haul the drag, arranged with
short and long hitch as shown in
the sketch, SO that the drag will travel
at an angle of about As degrees with
the direction of the road.
1t will be noticed from the sketch
that the long hitch of the chain goes
over the log around one Of the cross
pieces rather than through hole in
the front log. This allows the earth
to slide uncbstructed along the front
face of the drag.
We show a form of drag made from
plans which are REINFORCED on the in
ner side by two-inch by six-inch strips
Both forms of drag are effective and
the one that can be constructed most
conveniently is the one advised. Or
dinariiy material for a plank drag can
be more readily secured. A plank
drag also has a slight advantage in
that the earth will more readily slide

Strong Order From Washington.


Orders from Washington have been
received by the Atlanta postoff1ce Of
ficals to separate from the rest of the
postoffice employees, any employees,
men or women, who may be suffering
with pulmonary tuberculosis that
such afflicted persons be required to
bring their own cuspidors with them
each morning when they report for
work and that they remove them
from the postoffice premises each
night; and they shall not use the reg
ular drinking glasses, the wash ba-
sins, soap and towels at the postoffice
The United States government is
engaging in crusade to prevent the
spread of consumption and the order
which has been sent to Atlanta is in
line with the plan Of campaign map
ped out by Postmaster General Cor
telyou.
In the peremptory instructions it is
ordered that none of the postoftice
employees spit upon the floors; that
the rooms, Railways, corridors and
lavatories be aired, and freely and ef-
fectually cleaned at least once day.
It is stated in the order that wet
cloths rather than brooms or busters
should be used so that the dust may
be moved instead of merely removed
fiom one spot to another.
In that clause referring to consump-
tives it ia suggested that they use
cuspidors made of q material easily
