The Road-Drag Law.

Town boards are now required to
have the main roads in town dragged,
and it is hoped that the drag law may
not be allowed to fall into disuse as has
the guideboard law in some towns.
The law requires that the town
board designate such highways, as in
their judgment, by reason of amount
of travel and grade conditions, which
shall be known as drag roads, and shall
divide the same into sections The
town board shall cause the roads to be
dragged when the conditions of such
highways require it. The board shall
provide an earth road for each section
which shall not be less than seven feet
in width.
A dragman shall be appointed for
each section, whose duty it shall be to
drag such highway under the direction
of the town board, or the board may
contract to have any section dragged.
Preference to perform this work shall
be given to residents on land AUDITING
the sections to be dragged. Compen-
sation for the work of dragging shall
be made from the highway tax accord
ing to the new law.

Rat Deadly Disease Carrier.

The Spanish war developed the fact
that the mosquito was the carrier Of
yellow fever, writes +. W. Nelson in
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another type Of mosquito is known
to be the carrier of malaria. The Eu-
ropean war has brought to almost uni
versal public knowledge the fact that
body lice are carriers of the deadly
typhus and many diseases are known
to be carried by other insects.
Among these deadly carriers Of
death and destruction none equals the
house rat in its tremendous drain on
the prosperity of nations by it's de-
struction of food and other property,
while ut the shine time it is the dead
Hest of all to mankind as disease
carrier. Within historic times 1t has
caused the death of untold millions
of human beings through it's dissent

LIGHTED FLAG
PROTECTS SHIP

A huge American flag, painted upon
each of her sides, serves to help pro-
tect the Observation-Disclosures freighter
Kansan from submarine attack as she
wends her way back and forth across
the Atlantic. The two flags are illu-
minated at night by electricity.
Powerful electric lamps with re-
Electors are placed upon the sides OF
the big freighter so that their light
will shine directly upon the flags.
The Electrical Experimenter, com
menting upon the novel manner OF
making known a ships identity. says
that the immense flag thus lighted
would seem to be very sure method
of indicating to any submarine com
mander as to just what ship he was
dealing with. The idea has been eff.
fectiYely employed by several other
neutral powers for the protection OF
their merchant marine and very little
trouble has ensued since its adop.
ton.

FL PASO bellies
don ARMY CAPES
TBy Associated Press1

Ell PASO, Texas.-The presence OF
the United States army. and the ma
tional guard on the border has had its
influence upon styles in Ell Pasos and
army life is reflected in many Of the
articles worn by the women of FL Paso
and Fort Bliss. Gold and silver off
GERS insignias are to be seen at the
throat of many Ell Paso girls whose
army friends are enlisted men. Many
girls carry swagger sticks.
Broadcloth capes. of the same style
as those worn by the officers, may be
seen at the hotels and theaters with
the scarlet, yellow or blue Innings.
They are frequently worn by the
wives or girl friends of the officers.
Even the long, oliye-drab service over
coat is often worn by army women
while motoring and the short, fleece
lined canvas coat ALSO is worn by
women while horseback riding.
These fieece-lined fcoats, while not
a regulation army issue, have proved
to be the most popular form OF over
coat worn on the border. There are
no long skirts to interfere with driv'
ing automobiles or riding horseback
the sheep-skn lining makes them
much warmer than the service over
coat and they have knit sleeveless to
prevent the wind blowing up the
sleeyes when riding r.. 80 = :. :,
Almost all OF the, officers In the
regular army and national guard com,
mands, as well as the officers OF
General Pershing's expedition in Mex
leo, use these canvas coats for every
thing but dresswear.
