BLACKSMITH FRIEND OF POET
Homes Of LonpfeIiow and Dexter Pratt
Still Stand In the City Of Cam
bridge, Mass.

The professor came to be a neigh
bor Of the blacksmith In the year 1887.
As he walked daily past the smithy
and the simple, comfortable home of
the blacksmith he came to watch and
know the kindly man. 1t was not long
before they became good friends. The
blacksmith was proud of his home and
doubtless told the professor how happy
he was when In 1926 he had made his
first arrangements to buy 1t from
man named Torrey Hancock. And per-
haps sometimes they talked about the
wonderful spring that was famous for
his clear and sparkling waters, for this
was right at hand. Below the spot
where the spring gushed forth the
women of the town still did their
washing.
The name Of the street where lived
the blacksmith and the professor is the
same today as in their time. IL you
visit the great city Of Cambridge,
writes Vlyn Johnson in the st. Nicho-
las, you will easily find your way to
Brattle street and the homes Of 1.-THE
Village Blacksmith, by name Dexter
Pratt, and Of the professor and poet,
Henry w. Longfellow.

an opening in the runners on the left
side, Immediately In front of each
diagonal plank, the opening to be about
8 inches high and "a inches long. In
order to make the drag solid and well
braced run 2 by e !nch plank dag
onally across the top, opposite the
planks which serve as drag.
Have an iron shoe about one-quarter
inch thick and 3 inches wide on the
front Of the two dragging planks, the
bottom of the iron shoe to be One-half
inch below the, runner on the right
side and exactly even with the runner
on the left side.
Large holes should be bored in
front ends OF the. runners in which
to attach the rope or chain to pull the
drag. 1t is well to hitch the horses as
close as possible. The total weight Of
the drag, under these specifications, is
about 200 pounds and an ordinary team
can pull 1t on dirt road, with a heavy
man on with less effort than any other
drag of the same dimensions on the
market and it win be found that this
road leveler will do far better work
than split-log or metal drag.

ROAD
BUILDING
SAFETY FACTOR IN CONCRETE
Aid Traveller at Night to Keep Road
and Glarlne Reflections Of Sur
face Are Missing.

Any hard road is good, any perma-
ncnt type-concrete, brick, asphaltum
is better. Each Individual advocate
has his own favorable argument, 80
the concrete man says, with good
deal of truth, that mot only do con-
crete roads harmonize with natural
surroundings, and blend with objects
in the landscape, but their light-eolored
surfaces aid the traveller at night to
keep to the road. Since the top of a
concrete pavement presents sandy
and gritty surface, there are no glar-
ing reflections of sunlight nor mirror
like effects, as are found with many
other types of surfaces when worn
smooth or when wet.
"Dark-colored roads, merging into
the grass and foliage at the roadside
at night, are indistinct, and there Is a
likelihood of accidents Mt curves,
whereas the light-colored surface Is
distinct from the sides of the road
Under motor traffic the concrete road
way offers an element Of safety, as no
matter how dark the night the clean,
firm, light, nonskid surface is clearly
defined to view"
