LONDON, July S.-There are many
indications that the news from Russia
in the next few days will be important
and significant as concerns the future
of that troubled country.

starting point allied operations in
Russia.
Germany has not yet acted on the
murder of Count Won Mirbach, the am
bassador In Moscow. The Bolshevik
government has made apologies and
has enforced strong measures in Mos

sin.
Opinion in France and England Is
agreed that farreaching results may
be expected from this act which Is
compared In importance to the MUIR

Former Premier Kerensky believes
the Germans will march on Moscow,
but thinks the murder is the first sign

IMPORTANCE OF WAGON ROAD
One Drawback to Fall Of Rain ls That
Roads Are Made impossible
for Several Days.

But for one fact, all of us could re-
joice in this rain. meaning as much
as 1t does to the growing crops. The
one drawback Is the unfortunate fact
that the rain will make the roads al
most impossible for several days. But
the rain is not to blame for this state
of affairs. We are. We ought to have
roads on which the only effect of rain
would be to wash them clean--just as
IL does with the city pavements. And
it's not for the joy-riders alone that
we need such roads, says Wichita
Eagle. If we had good roads, farmers,
who can't work In their fields after Il
rain, could do their hauling on such
days. Now the rain that prevents
working the fields prevents hauling to
market, except light loads, and at a
prohibitive cost. The wagon haul OF
agricultural products Is infinitesimal in
distance, as compared with the rail
and water haul, yet 1t costs actually
more, according to government sta
tistics. For the benefit of the farmer
we need good roads.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

The never-ending desire for some
thing new" which is characteristic
of the American people, has its effect
on architecture by bringing into use
In this country the distinguishing char
acteristics of nearly every successful
type of architecture which has ever
been used in any part of the world.
One of the attractive architectural
adaptations which American architects
have brought about Is modelled after
the Swiss chalet. The Swiss architec-
ture is usually associated with rugged
landscape. There are various places
in the United States where the sur
roundings are suitable for the adapta-
ton of this style of architecture. Many
country estates in localities where the
topography Is characterized by abrupt
changes In elevation with exposed rock
surfaces, where the growth of trees
and other natural features are agree
able, have been planned after the
Swiss style to produce beautiful re-
suits. The house very often is built
on the very edge Of an abrupt cliff and
the effect is all the more beautiful If
nature has provided clear stream
which winds through the estate and
passes at the base of this cliff.
Occasionally beauty spot Of this
type is found within the boundaries of

Road Drag Hitch.

and the water, instead of standing In
the road and making theholes deeper,
must run off to the side-and the trav-
eler has good road.
The road dragger, or "dragman," as
he usually Is called, Is like clay work
err when he shapes up the puddled
earth and smooths the road. He puts
the surface In condition and gets the
standing water off, and the roadbed
dries In that condition instead Of hold
ing the water and letting the traffic
work the ruts deeper. The dragman
could not shape this up with dust any
more than the clay worker could fash
Ion his image With dry dirt. But If he
gets out right after rain, while the
earth is puddled, he can work his road
and the traffic will help him, for the
water will be forced out and off the
surface. That is why 1t is so import
ant to drag when the roads are not too
dry to puddle or compact. Perhaps
the traffic Is sufficient to cut up the
road after it is dragged, and this dis
courages the man who does the drag
ging. But in that case he should fol-
low over the road and do it again If
necessary and win the fight for good
road. If he waits until the road Is
dry because the vehicles rut up his
dragged road he will simply plane off
the surface and not remove the trou-
BILE. If he drags second or perhaps
third time he will work toward
hard surface, imperyious to water and
with minimum of dust, which is the
evidence. of well-dragged highway.
Perhaps, If the vehicles cut road
when it is first being dragged, the driv-
ers may be persuaded to drive by the
side, If that is feasible, while the road
is first drying out or freezing.

wide clapboards, stained to represent
weathered timber or dark brown, as
preferred. The massive balcony rail
above the wide window opening in
the front wall Of the house is very eff
fective as an adaptation of the origin
al style. The typical chalet has bal
cony on two sides of the building,
built close up under the caves. Very
often the timbers used in the con-
struction of these balconies were very
deliberately carved. The decks above
the porches of the design illustrated
are intended to add an atmosphere Of
the rustic in the same way that the
balcony is effectively used.
A novel method of supporting the
roof overhanging the gables consists
of the only use of exposed timbers
which Is found in the design. The prin-
cipal rafters are supported by beams
extending out from the wall of the
house. Near the center of these beams
a timber is extended parallel to the
wall of the house, the beams resting
on this timber which is in turn sup
ported by second set of beams, not
so long as those which support the raf-
ters. TIE timber is not as long as the
rafters, but it is stopped short dis
lance beyond the outer beam toward
the top and bottom of the roof, the
timber ends being cut with simple
ornamental design.
The entrance to the house@is on the
side and is through coy little porch
adjoining the reception hall. The re-
ception hall opens into the dining room
on one side through double doors and
on the other side through cased
opening into the living room. The liv-
ing room extends across the front of
the house and is 20 feet by 10 feet in
size. In one end Of 1t is brick fire.
place fianked with two windows which
have book cases built beneath them.
This room is well lighted by the two
windows mentioned and a broad triple
window in front.
In the back part of the house is
large living porch which will be es-
pecially appreciated In the summer.
This porch is intended to be fitted
with screens in the summer and storm
sash during the winter. On the sec
ond floor there are three bedrooms
and bath. The decks could BIZ very
easily fitted with frames for canvas
coverings which would make them
very much appreciated as sleeping
porches.

MAINTAIN ROADS WITH DRAG
No Better or Cheaper Way of Keeping
Highways In Good Order Than
by Using Implement.

Road dragging is so simple an under
taking, providing the road to be drag
ged Is first graded, drained and shaped
properly, that q summary of It's bene-
fits cannot be presented too often,
writes George b. Harrison In Farmers
Mail and Breeze. Anyone can make a
drag and even a boy can keep piece
of road in good shape with the proper
instruction at the beginning. A 10
inch or Pinch log between s and 8
feet long or two by u planks with
2 by 9 reinforcing strips of the same
length, four cross sticks, chain,
boards for the platform and metal
wearing strip are certainly procurable
anywhere.
The theory in road dragging which
has proved practicable for road i'm
provement is to smooth and shape up
the puddled earth of road to fill the
ruts and holes and force the water off
the roadway. "Puddled" earth on a
road is the wet earth which has been
worked up by traffic so that 1t is dense
and when 'compacted Will not let the
water seep away. IF this compacting
is done without any direction ruts and
holes appear and hold the water and
make n bad road. But If the puddled
earth be spread smoothly over the sur
face Of the road with somewhat Of a
rounded effect 1t dries firm and hard

First Floor Plan.

The prevailing rock formation under
lying this section is yellow limestone
and it happens that some force of ma
ture during the past ages formed a
jagged break In the surface of the
earth starting at point few hun
dred yards from the mouth Of the
creek and extending roughly along its
course until it is finally smoothed out
toward the north and west. For about
three hundred feet in its course the
creek flows along at the base of the
cliff, which is perhaps 60 feet high at
this point. The land adjacent to this
cliff, on either side of the creek, very
fortunately came into the hands of a
man who has devoted his entire life to
the study and practice of landscape
architecture. He saw here the posi-
bility Of working out beautiful plan
following the Swiss style.

when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
