ty some farmer along each four miles
Of road should own a drag and drag

The necessity for dragging the road
comes about from the fact that water
stays on the road surface because 1t
cannot drain away into the side
bitches. If the road has been properly
dragged the water will run off the sur
face. Then if the bitches are properly
taken care Of the water will drain
away and leave the roadway in splen-
did condition. The crown of the road
should be at least ten inches higher
than the outside. Rain on properly
crowned road will run quickly to the
sides and not soak into the surface.

HOW TO USE THE
SPLIT LOG DRAG
Best Results Obtained Just
After a Rain.
FOUR MILES A Days WORK.

Ordinary Road Drag Is Made With
Two Halves Of Log-This Process
Forces Water to Drain OFF at Either
Side, Leaving Bed In Condition.
The best results from road drag
ging come when the roads are dragged
directly after rain. The surface of
the road is leveled, the holes and ruts
are filed up, and the earth is puddled.
A crust forms when the top dries out,
making the road much more lasting
than it would be if dragged at any
other time.
To keep a road smooth and crowned
the best method is to drag with an or
binary wood road drag, made easily
with two halves Of a log which has
been split. This log should be about
six or eight inches in thickness and
six to eight feet long. The halves are
set three feet apart with the smooth
surfaces forward and upright. They
are fastened together with braces set
in holes bored through the log.
If they are not heavy enough a
board can be placed on top, and the
driver stands upon it. This will weight
1t down sufficiently. In some cases II
has been found desirable to attach a
piece of metal along the lower edge
of the forward piece of the drag. This
cuts the surface Of the ground better
and insures also more efficient work.
The road drag should move forward
so that it slants across the road in
such way that small amount of
earth will slide past the smooth face
of the log toward the middle of the
road, thus forming the crown. In this
way the edge of the drag smooths out
the ruts and fills up the holes.
The best way to drag is to begin at
the side ditch and go up one side of
the road and then down on the other
The next trip the drag should be start.
ed little nearer the middle. and the
last trip over the road the drag should
work close to the middle itself. Small
ridges of earth will be thrown in the
horse track and smeared by the round
side of the log smoothly over the road.
The smearing of the earth by the drag
is called pudding, and it tends to make
the surface smooth and hard and turns
off the water. especially after the sun
comes out and dries 1t thoroughly. The
road is always dragged after it has
rained and not when it Is dry. With

playing in. That is, If their gowns are to
to have other women in the cast who attract
attention through their gowns
This custom has come into force in Amer
lea. Take "The Whip" for instance. There
Is only one really wonderfully dressed wom-
an In the cast. But to say wonderfully for
her means stunningly, arrestingly exquisitey.
Miss Leonore Harris is following here in
Chicago the theory she worked out last year
in New York, that of introducing to the pub
lie the very latest word in fashions from
Paris. There are SO many women nowadays
who go to the theater solely and simply to
see the gowns. They have no thought for
plot or nemesis, for climax, suspense, or de-
movement. They 60 because some one told
them the dresses were dreams, my dear, and
the very latest styles. Just the way you
ought to have your black velvet coat made I"
In Miss Harris case every word that can
be said of the gowns is true. She came
back from abroad In time for the Chicago
opening with models Of twenty-three nantes
and gowns all band box J" new from the
hands Of the Partisan costumers, and under
solemn promise not to disclose TO any one
the secrets of the coming year, before her
opening here. So zealously do they guard
their mysteries.
First and foremost, Miss Harris gowns
illustrate the new principle of French fash
ions-no bodice whatsoeyer--or at least, the
appearance of none. Flesh colored chiffon or
the sheerest lace takes the place Of waist
and gives the impression that the dress ends
at the high waist line. One white char
mouse has bodice, Of lImiest mousseline de
sole, outlined over the shoulders to an ex-
tremely low waist line in the back, with a
narrow band of tailed ermine To the a.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1913-10-12

most shocked beholder Miss Harris seems to
be wearing two shaped strips of ermine.
Her black beaded gown-which, by the
way, weighs fifty pounds-has straight
fold Of the lowered chiffon running from ell
bow to elbow. Attached to this and shirred
on to narrow elastic to hold 1t in place is one
thickness of flesh pink chiffon.
Another autumn principle which Miss Har-
ris' gowns illustrates is the one sided pouch
drape. A black velvet wrap outlined with
white fox fur achieves this long low drape
by having the opening for the arm within
eighteen inches of the ground. When the
arm is slipped through this slit it makes
much more natural and graceful drapery than
would result from plaits or folds.
A lovely white satin gown Is draped en-
tirely to the left in large full folds that bill
low as Miss Harris walks. The bodice Is

practically one broad band of black velvet.
serving as girdle and waist in one, since the
filmy cream chiffon of the waist is invisible
The back of the skirt is perfectly plain, with
a square panel fourteen inches wide of black
velvet to the floor.
Perhaps as unusual and effective as any of
Miss Harris costumes is the marvellous even
ing wrap of crystal beaded white net trimmed
with white fox fur cut with square edges.
The wrap is lined with glorious shade of
American beauty chiffon velvet and is draped
like a college, presidents hood into a long
fold down the back.
With this wrap Miss Harris wears a satin
gown which. like the Cleopatra costume she
wears in the last act, has train which
comes straight from the folds at the left
ankle instead OF from the back. In these
dresses with the snake trains, as they are
called, the back is absolutely plain, and all
the fullness of the skirt is drawn from the
right to left side, into the drapery at the
ankle.
Another OF Miss Harris Partisan innova-
tons is rows on rows of the latest fads in
slippers.

How Il Sounded.

An energetic German professor
was conducting musical society in
Durham, England. They were study
ing Mendelssohn's 'Elijah." and had
reached the chorus. Hear US, Baal;
hear, mighty God!" The mems voices
we're blooming out sonorously. when
the conductor cried out: "Oh-de
dreadful vowel! Don't say Bale.
Soften little, give de more musical
sound-Bal." Whereupon the chorus
took up the strain again. Hear u.
Bawl; hear US. Bawl." But they
quickly realized the peculiar fitness
of the sentiment and broke down in
laughter, to the great amazement OF
the little German, who never saw the
joke. but who returned reluctantly to
the old pronunciation.

his cottage. She meant to do 1t DE-
nantly. She had tried hard to make
herself believe that she detested him.
The only charge that she could bring
against him was that he looked ~ II
he thought . good deal Of himself.
That was his mental criticism Of her.
and perhaps intuition told her 90.
The cottage was passed. The do
fiant attitude was superb. Had Mr..
Blair been standing in his door he
must have been flattened out like .
pancake. and without knowing any
reason why she should pick ON him!
But he wasn't standing there. He
wasn't even 1T home. When this fact
became plain to Miss Greasy she was
putchy about 1t. 1t was another rea-
son why she should detest the man.
According to all social laws he should
have been at homo and looking for
her, and should have advanced hat in
hand and given her his name and
begged to be forgiven for something
or other. Consequently moro putch!
However. II Mr.. Blair was not home
his boat was. It was drawn up on the
beach. and the idea came to the girl to
make use Of 1t. It would be spiting
and getting even with the owner.
The boat was showed OF and the girl
entered it. She knew nothing Of row.
Ing. She had never even entered .
skin before. The tide was running
out, and running strong at that, and
presently she found herself out In the
bay and being hurried toward IN IT,
land q mile and half away. No one
happened to see her drifting. and she
was too frightened to scream. The
boat might have missed the island had
not fate decreed otherwise. She ran
her nose plump into the bank, and the
castaway sprang out and sank down
on solid ground.
Had she spited Mr.. Blair7 She
wasn't two minutes deciding that she
hadn't He was OF somewhere catch
ing grasshoppers. and she was cast
away on an island where bull-thistles
and blackberry bushes were thicker
than IDEAS on q dog. She would be
missed. but 1t might be . day or two
before the searchers found her.
Miss Greasy wept. She was weep
ing when she saw boat approaching
the island. It was a row-boat. and the
oars wer being handled by man. 1t
was q man who was in no hurry. The
boat was headed straight for her. a.
IL she had been seen from nthe shore
through glass, but the oarsman was
taking his time to get there. Some
times he ceased rowing entirely for
two or three minutes. However. he
drew near enough at last for the cast

to her feet and exclaim:
""Tis he! IT'S Mr.. Blair!"
