HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT
ROAD IN RURAL COMMUNITIES
Ever Recurring Problem Of Upkeep
Can, In Largo Measure, Be Solved
by Use Of Road Drag.

CBy n. II. FLINT, University Farm. St
Paul. Mimi
Because OF its cheapness the earth
road Is. and for many years to come
viii continue to be, the most common
form OF road I'm use In rural communi-
ties The ever recurring problem of
upkeap ON such roads can, In a large
measure, be solved by the use of the
so-calied split-log drag. which can be
constructed as shown In the accom-
panying picture by any one who has
suitable material at hand. A log is
not necessary, or perhaps not desir-
able, for its construction. Choose four
pieces of plank of some strong wood,
such as elm or red FIR, two inches
thick and eight feet long. Two OF
them should be ten or twelve inches
in width, but the other two may be
narrower as shown In the picture,
since they are simply bolted to the
backs Of the wider planks for rein
forcement II planks three and half
or four inches thick can conveniently
be obtained,. single thickness Of
them should be used, instead Of build
ing up as shown in the cut. In any
case, the drag can be put together

Road Drag.

with round poles wedged into auger
may be set in with mortise and tenon
joints and kept tight by long bolts
reaching through the front and back
planks.
A piece of iron about three and
one-half feet long three or four inches
wide and one-fourth of an inch thick
should be used for blade. BY
means of bolts with fiat, counter-sunk
heads, this blade should be attached
to the front plank in such a manner
that its edge will project a half-inch
below the plank at the ditch end,
while the end of the iron toward the
middle of the road should be flush
with the edge Of the plank. If the
face OF the plank stands plumb 1t will
be wen to wedge out the bottom of the
iron with wedge-shaped piece of
wood TO give the iron a set similar to
that Of plane bit
A platform of inch boards cleated
together, with cracks an inch wide
between the boards to prevent dirt
from collecting on top, is placed on
the cross-pieces of the drag to furnish
a platform for the driver. This plat
form should rest upon the cross
pieces between the planks without be-
ing fastened to the drag 1t is not
shown in the illustration.
Any chain having the strength Of a
trace chain may be used to draw the
drag and should be attached as shown
In the picture, but the proper posi-
ton for attaching the doubletrees
must be determined by experiment
and will vary with the kind of work
done The chain should be about nine
feet long for a drag of the size shown
In the cut and should have the eye
for the clevis put in about three feet
from the end. The chain attaches by
means Of an eyebolt, as shown in the
picture, to the ditch or blade end of
the drag. The other end Of the chain
should finish with a grabhook for use
In adjusting the length of the hitch
after tho chain is passed around the
cross-ptece at the road end of the
drag.
Commonly the drag SHOULD follow
the team at an angle of about forty
five degrees with their line Of travel,
to cause the dirt to move steadily and
freely along the faces of the planks
from the ditch toward the center of
the road In every case the angle at
which the drag will travel can be gov
erned by the position Of the hitch.
which II changed within reasonable
limits BY lengthening or shortening
tho chain. and by the position Of the
driver on the drag. A very little ex-
perience win enable anyone to adjust
these things satisfactorily.

The director never encourages any

feel this call the deepest are probably
the poorest material. On the list Of

those who enter the motion picture
field. for even after they have been
given positions. more than half Of the
performers. or would-be performers
drop out. for one reason or another.
When the players respond for the first
cali for rehearsal they are Instructed
and drilled In the situations in which
they are to appear, the story they are
to tell and the emotion they are to
portray by gesture and play Of feature
alone: and then. when the manager
finds that they are keyed up to the
right pitch Of perfection the camera
begins to snap-there must be no delay
then. The principal members Of the

FOR TIMES WOMEN WHO WANT TO KNOW
What Is Seen in The Shops

Clothiers for women are beginning to
see the advisability Of making altera-
tions and styles to suit in some degree
the comfort Of the wearers. Since the
one-piece costume Ia favored. the outing
coat has come into Its own, and is made
heavy or light. brilliant or quiet in hue,
or long or short.
So many separate coats In q peculiar
tan shade were seen at the recent polo
match at Piping Rock that they were
at once given the name Of Piping Rock
coats, and are to be seen in all the shops
The shade il called cafe au lait, and
the material Of one which is to be seen
at the Misses shop at the corner Of
Tenth and F streets, is diagonal chin
chilla.
This coat buttons well up around the
throat, and is single breasted, the but
tons, which are of celluloid or vegetable
ivory and large and round, are arranged
in groups Of fve. Sleeves and body are
very roomy, the cuffs are deep and
turned back, and the Norfolk belt Is
wide and heavy. This coat is S22.50,
but others are to be had at lesser prices.
One other coat made in sack style is a
little over $40. II has patch pockets,
and is decorated with marvellous round
buttons made of painted wood.
Real soda water made at home from
homemade ingredients and filled with
ice cream of home manufacture Is pos
sible with the syphon and cartridges
which the Shopper saw at the leather
store In the north side of F street not
far from the corner of Thirteenth. The
syphon holds three pints of liquid and
is carbonated by the insertion of a
cartridge at the stopper. This syphon
is s3.75 and will last indefinitely. while
the cartridges are to be had at S5c the
dozen, one serving to carbonate three
pints Of cold liquid. This makes the
carbon water much cheaper than can
be bought at drug stores In the regular
syphon bottles.
There are many secrets for warm
weather dressing. The fact that some
women wear coat suits just as they
would dresses. is not known to everyone
but II 1 nevertheless both a true and |
widely favored plan.
With the very light weight ratne
coat suits. or the dressier Of the Balkan
blouses no waist Is worn underneath,
only a net "dickey'' sometimes made
With sleeves and sometimes made with
lust the collar and an elaborate front
'rill. These ''dickies" may be had at

Eleventh and F streets for SOC. but they

Expensive and luffiier creations may

pondingly higher prices.
