Road Drag Offers Simple, In
expensive Method Of High
way Maintenance.

The drag is a simple and inexpen
sive. device for maintaining certain
types of roads which when wet be-
come rutted under traffic and which
become firm on drying out. 1t is also
we'll adapted for producing smooth
and uniform surface on newly con-
structed roads in which the material
used for surfacing is earth, earthly
gravel, or some similar material.
1t is essentially maintenance imple
ment, and it's use in construction is
distinctly secondary. Roads which
are very rocky or very sandy can not
be materially improved by its use
Properly used at the right time
the road drag performs four distinct
offices. First, by moving at an angle
to the travelled way it tends to pro-
duce or preserve crowned cross
section. Second, If used when the
material of the surface is not COM
pact and hard, it tends to reduce
ruts and other Irregularities in the
road by moving material from points
which are relatively high to those
which are relatively low Third,
when used after a rain it accelerates
the drying out of the road by spread
ing out puddles Of water and thus
increasing the surfaces exposed to
evaporation. Fourth, if the surface
material is in slightly plastic
state, dragging smears over and
partially seals the so-called pores
which naturally occur in earthly ma
terial, and thus makes the road sur
face more or less impervious to
water The advantage of this smear
ing action of the drag will be more
readily understood il sample of
ordinary earth is examined under a
magnifying glass. Such an eXamina-
ton will show that the earth closely
resembles a sponge or honeycomb
in structure, and the desirability OF
closing the open pores will be readily
| apparent.
If used improperly or at the wrong
time, the drag may do actual injury
to road. Dragging very dry road,
for example, serves to increase the
quantity of dust and may do ad-
ditional damage by destroying the
seal produced during previous drag
ging. If, on the other hand, the road
is very wet and muddy, the irreg-
ularities in the surface are likely to
be increased rather than diminished
by dragging.

Unless something unforeseen
occurs Martinsburg will have an

will be a good one too. Steps
were taken last night at meet
ing held at the Y. NJ. c. A. to
make the proposed circuit a Ger

At least three good teams a,e

will be known as the Sunset

Will Soon Start Season.
Apparently the season will be start
ed next Monday evening at $50
o'clock A schedule Will be drawn
up within the next few days and
will be published. Other stepping
stones necessary before the affair is
assured will be crossed within a short
while.
1t was decided at the meeting last
night that all games be started at
$50 o'clock. with the exception OF the
ones on Saturday, which would be
played in the afternoon 1t is thought
that games will be played three even

viii Have Good Material.
The league will be composed of the
White Sox and the All Stars, both OF
whom were we'll represented at last

other club will be the Y. NJ G. a.

night regarding the players for each
club and indications are that there

Among other things It was sug-

to be the concensus of opinion that

will be about September |, and play
