which 1t is desired to have the drag

orator standing upoE the drag Will" 1t
is in operation. he can greatly facili-
tate it's work by shifting his weight at
proper tilies. For example, If 1t Is lie
sired to have the drag discharge more
rapidly. the operator should move TO-
ward the discharge end of the runners.
This will cause the ditch end of the
runners to swing forward and thus in
crease the skew angle of the drag.
The operator may, Of course, produce
the opposite effect by moving his
weight in the opposite direction. In
the same way, he can partially control
the amount of cutting which the drag
does by shifting his weight backward
or forward, as the case may be.
An Intelligent and interested opera
tor will soon learn many simple ways
by means of which he can easily con-
troll the different features of the work
which a drag performs, and he will
also learn to utilize effectively every
effort which his team exerts.

Fishes In Shipyard.

To catch n nice mess of fish right in
the middle of shipyard, without the
trouble of walking to the river bank, is
a novel as well as a pleasant incident

NATION WAS NEVER MORE FIT
American People Have Learned Many
Valuable Lessons Under Great
StjmIfiS >of WI.

"Under the stimulus Of war We have
sweated of mental. moral and physical
fat," says the New York Medical Jour-
nal. I'VE have been forced to curb
our nppetites. We have learned to sac
ritice without complaint, to dare with
out bluster. and sink our will In the
common veal. Many Of US went to the
training camps flabby. We learned to
rise early, bathe cold, eat plenty, work
hard, and sleep soundly. We learned
to obey promptly, to think precisely.
to work accurately, and to command
properly. One by one the vest ripples
Of the body, mind and soul disappeared
and we were proud to be hard and fit
again.
"There is a great lesson in all this.
Flabbiness Is mans greatest sin
against himself. 1t begets sloth. fear
and selfishness. It undermines the
mind, the character. the body. Is this
lesson, learned at the cost Of lives
and limbs and worldwide sacrifice, to
be lost? Is the ponderous abdomen
and feeble leg Of yesterday to replace
the straight front and springy carriage
Of today? Are we going to shrink from
the cold bath and the hardening neces-
stiles Of daily life? Or will we attack
the postwar period resolved to remain
hard and fit In body, mind and soul?"

for examination. The teacher struck
q note on the piano and asked:

Of Stavrili, descendants Of the Greeks

The principal factor in successfully
operating properly constructed road

the road is favorable, is skill on the
part Of the operator. Such skill can
be obtained only BY intelligent expert.
ence In the use Of the drag, and no
rules can, be. laid down which would
enable an inexperienced operator to
produce first-class results. The fol-
lowing suggestions are intended. there
fors to serve rather al q guide to the
Judgment than as q criterion to be i'm
plitity followed.
<pnder ordinary circumstances the
position Of the hitching link on the
draw chain should be such that the
runners will make an angle Of from
90 to Is degrees with the center line
q the road, or, In other words, . skew
angle Of from Is to 80 degrees. It Is
apparent that BY shifting the position

conditions require. when dragging

out sk4#. Wien the principal pur-
poss, Of the dragging is to increase the
crown Of the road, the drag should be
sufficiently skewed to discharge all
material as rapidly as It II collected
On The runners. On the other hand, II
deplessions occur In the road surface.
The skew may perhaps be advantage
ously reduced to a minimum, thus en-
abling the operator to deposit the ma
tefiA which collects In front Of the
runners at such points as he desires
by lifting or otherwise manipulating
the drag. Many other examples Of con-
ditions which require notifications In
the angle of skew might easily be
cited, but these will readily suggest
themselves to an intelligent operator
a. his experience increases. 80
The length Of hitch is another very
important consideration In operating a
road drag. In the designs which have
been discussed the draw chain may be
readily taken up or let out at either
end and the length of hitch thus In
creased or diminished as desired. It
is impracticable to prescribe even an
approximate rule for fixing the length
Of hitch, because 1t is materially af-
fected by the height Of the team and
the arrangement Of the harness, as
well as by the condition of the road
surface. Experience will soon teach
