Washington, June 5.-The rebel
yell was heard in Washington today
in great volume than ever when con-
federate veterans attending their con-
ventiop cheered young Americans
standing in line to register for war
service.
There were groups of boys in grey
at many registration places, swapping
battle yarns for the benefit of the
men who may soon have war stories
of their own to tell.
The former "rebs'' today did all in
their power to make registration day
a thrilling event in Washington. Lit
tie squads of them marched up Penn

Yankee Doodle" and the men who
followed Lee and Jackson cheered for
the "Yanks'' battle music with as

Three Balls in Their Honor.
Thousands of veterans gathered in
the arcade today to hear President
Wilson's second speech to the men
who fought for the lost cause. With
the convention in full swing, the dele
gates still swarmed into Washington.
Tents erected for them near union
station plaza overlooked. Beds were
at premium. An appeal was issued
for every resident to throw open his
house to them. Many slept on floors
last night with their battered hand
satchels for pillows. Tonight the
vets will dance the old-fashioned
steps at three balls to be given in
their honor.
Now for Liberty of Mankind.
President Wilson, welcoming the
confederate veterans to their reunion
here today declared the country was

Split Log Drag Described
. By Florida Road Commiss ion

$he outset, however, that the road
drag is not adaptable to road con-
struction, and to do satisfactory work
with it the road should first be shap-
ed. To attempt to round up a fat
or followed out road with the drag
alone would be just as expensive and
futile as for a farmer to attempt to
break a piece of ground with a har-
row or cultivator. The drag is es-
sentially adapted to maintenance;
that is, to preserve and improve what
has already been constructed.
1t is true that by the persevering
use of the drag poor road can grad
ually be brought to a high state of
excellence and maintained in that
condition, but it will be found more
economical to first ditch the road and
tFing it to the proper crown, by the
use of a road machine or grader.
For strictly maintenance work, on
roads such as described above, the
drag is superior to any other known
implement, both for economy and the
class of work performed; but it will
be found that the same skill and per
severing attention to detail will be
required to secure satisfactory re-
suits, as would be necessary in op-
Grating a more costly machine.
Generally speaking the drag should
be operated when the material is
damp and readily compacted, but not
sticky enough for the mud to ball in
front of the runners. The most suit
able time for dragging a rich clag
material is when the mud has set
sufficiently to form a slight crust oveIs
the untraveled portion OF the road.
At this stage it will be found that
the drag will smear the surface, very
much like the action of a trowel
on mortar, and the mud will harden
very rapidly, giving a top to the road
that is almost impervious to water.
Material containing sand can be
dragged much wetter than rich clay
With a perfect sand-clay mixture the
best results have been obtained by
dragging when the loose material on
the surface vas in a soupy condi-
tion, which would flow in front of the
drag somewhat like a thin cement
grout. In some instances. excellent
results have been obtained by operat-
ing the drag while the rain was fall
ing. Great care, however, must be
used, in dragging a road in the soupy
stage, to prevent the drag from goug-
ing out the soft spots so that the
water viii pocket and form holes, and
the dragging should be continued un-
til the material has begun to set up.
