HOW TO UsT THE ROAD DRAG

Clemson College, S. c., Nov. g.
If dirt road is properly built, the
road drag will keep it in good con-
dition. Like any other work there
is a best way to do it. These rules
from the Highway Magazine, tell
how to get the right results.
use a light drag.
Haul it over the road at an angle
so that a small amount of earth is
pushed toward the center Of the
road.
"Drive the team at walk.
Ride the drag; da not walk.
Begin at one side of the road, re-
turning up the opposite side.
Drag the road as soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the
mud is in such condition as to stick
to the drag.
"Do not drag a dry road.
drag wherever possible at all sea-
sons of the year.
"The width of the travelled way to
be maintained by the drag should be
from 1S to 20 feet; first drag little
more than the width of single wheel
track. then gradually increase until
desired width is obtained.
always drag little earth toward
the center of the road until it is rails
ed from 10 to 12 inches above the
edges of the Travelled way
''If the drag cuts too much, short
en- the hitch.
"The best results for dragging are
obtained only by repeated application.

AUTO PHONE DEAL TO FIND Al
HARDER ROAD TO TRAVEL?

F1ARDER ROAD ~ RAVELE
The automatic phone deal will have
worse travelling in view of election
returns. That's the way Public Own
ership league men look at it. The
contract of the Chicago Telephone
Co. to buy the automatic system
from the Chicago Tunnel Co. has a
clause in it saying the Chi. Tel Co.
doesn't have to buy if public senti-
ment is against the deal.
Pres. B, F. Sunny of Chi. Tel. Co.,
in a Day Book interview few days
after passage of the automatic phone
ordinance pointed especially to this
clause on public sentiment. He
wanted it understood that if the drive
of public sentiment is clearly against
the deal the Chi. Tel Co. won't go
through on it. He made it plain, too,
that the Chi Tel Co. and nobody
else is to be judge of whether or not
public sentiment is against the deal.
No action has yet been taken be-
fore the state utilities comm asking
that bOdy's approval of the phone
automatic sale. So many weeks
have gone by without any steps in,
this direction that Public Ownership
league officers began to wonder;
whether some petition had been filed
on the quiet.
VIM. L. O'ConnelI, chairman of the
commission, says nothing has been
put up to the commission as yet and
when action is on he will protect the
public against secrecy by letting the
Public Ownership league know.
Aid. Henry P. Bergen's defeat in
the 33d ward was taken by Penny
Phone league officers as a sign that
the automatic phone sale is a live
issue. 1t was not a leading issue
against Bergen, but his record as a
Sullivan Democrat who led aldermen
in gas-oil committee voting for the
sale was widely published through
ont thn ward

at least and every woman worker 81

GOSSIPERS BUSY
OYER up. CHANGES
Railroad Men Believe There Is
More to Mohler-Ware ReSig-
nation Story.
NEW YORK TIGHTENING STRINGS

The resignation of Charles Ware,
general manager Of the Union Pa
cific, quickly following the resigna-
tion OF A. L. Mohler, its president,
was the gossip among railroad men
yesterday afternoon, and while rea-
sons for the two men quitting the
high and important positions are
given by those who have resigned,
the public is hardly satisfied with the
announcement.
With many who discussed the
designations, there was an under cur
rent of sentiment that this is the be-
ginning Of the breaking up OF the
official family of the Union Pacific
and that the real entering wedge was
put in six months, or so ago when
Superintendent Cahill of the Omaha
division for many years, handed in
his resignation.
Gossip Going Full Blast.
The gossips have it that while they
are still in the vigor of manhood and
in reasonably good health men are
not going to voluntarily throw away
positions that are paying them $4,000
TO $4,000 per year, as Mohler and
Ware have done, unless they have
money to burn and then after that,
sufficient to make them independent
during the remainder OF their lives.
The Two men who have just sur
rendered their authority over the af-
fairs of the Union Pacific have been
largely instrumental in building il
into one of the best railroads proper
ties in the world 1t is contended
that they have given their best efforts
TO the conduct of the road and that
thereby bettered its physical condi-
tion by rebuilding roadbeds and sup
plying new equipment they have
placed it in a condition just about
as near perfection as is possible
Lurking Suspicion Persistent.
While ii is given out that both
designations have come voluntarily,
there is a lurking suspicion that the
recent visit of Averill Hartman to
the city. his stay OF several days here
and the designations following soon
after his departure for New York,
may have had something to@do with
the decisions TO resign.
Railroad men not connected. with
the Union Pacific assert that ii the
designations were suggested by liar-
riman, or by any other person in au-
thorlty IN connection wtth Union Pa
ciiio affairs, Il was the unkindcst cut
oi all. it being recognized thar the
the two men who have surrendered
their official positions have been is
