peace reigneI Throughout the earth,
that deep silence rested upon the
world, the birds stopped in their flight,
the cattle ceased to feed, men became
motionless with sudden awe in the
midst Of their labors, and the stars
glittered with added luster. From this
tradition came the superstitions Of the
middle ages relating to the miraculous
phenomena supposed to occur annu-
ally at Christmas, many Of which still
survive.
Bells, too, have their legends. In a
village near Raleigh, in Nottingham
shire. England, there is now a valley
where once there was picturesque
and prosperous village, but an earth
quake swallowed It up; yet every
Christmas since, the bells Of the bur

Need for City PLANNING

The need of city planning and the
pushing of public work is greater to-
day than ever before, said Walter d.
Moody, managing director of the Chi
cago plan commission, In an interview
with representative of the Christian
Science Monitor. Not only Is this true
because public work needs to be done
TO aid in the solution of the labor
problem, continued Mr.. Moody, but the
cities in the United States have grown
SO rapidly in the last twenty years
and the problems of city life are so
complex that the new conditions can
not be COPIED with for The well-beinp
of the people in them without def
mite city plan to work to. The prob
lens of parks, better housing, SANTA.
ton, ample means for recreation. and
facilitation of traffic and the relief OF
traffic congestion, must be given soc.
cial attention.

BUILD TO SUIT HOUSEWIFE
Designers Appreciate Importance Of
House Construction From the
Standpoint of the Women.

The average citizen, supported by
the women of his household, is de-
handing improved home building and
this will, of course, influence all future
building operations. From now on
consideration of the housing question
must be primarily from the point of
view of the housewife. Consequently,
labor-saving devices will be increasing
y stressed. Landlords have learned
that it can be just as profitable to own
well-kept properties as it Is to own
dilapidated tenements, or vacant lots
filed with rubbish or billboards.
The United States Housing corpora
ton, however, has not adopted any
Utopian building scheme. 1t has sim
ply recognized that the efficiency of
the workman is seriously deprecated
If he and his family must live In I'M
sanitary dwellings. 1t has been proved
that If he Is to work to his best ca.
pacity he must be not only well housed,
but housed adequately and comfortably
within reasonable distance from his
workshop and at a rental he will be
able to pay.
Industrial housing is comparative
iy new proposition in America. It Is
an old one in England, and In many
ways it has been adequately solved.
The problem there is now largely dealt
with from the woman's angle.

Easily Constructed Shelter Which

There is not much pleasure to he

when rain threatens at any minute.
Many picnics are broken up by show
ers which last but few minutes, sim
ply because there is no way to protect
the food or to keep dry until the squali

azine. A shelter. such as illus
trated, will take the discomfort out
of walks and picnics, and will induce
people to tempt the weather more
often, since they know that protection
is within easy reach.
A dead tree, the trunk of which Is
still quite sound, makes an excellent
start for such shelter. 1t should be
cut off about ten feet from the ground,
care being taken to make the saw
cuts as even as possible. 1t may be
necessary to erect scaffolding to make
this cut properly. After the cut sur
face is worked smooth, eight rafters
are fitted into the top of the trunk,
The rafters are u feet long, four of
them being two by four inch timber,

are supported at the outer end by

Essential Feature of an improved

An essential feature of an improved
road is adequate drainage Thorough
drainage is SO necessary that 1t Is
practically impossible to maintain sat
isfactory road unless it be given prop
er attention Another prime require
ment wherever a hard surface road Is
to be constructed is firm and unyie1d-
ing foundation. AS the quality of the
soil has an important influence on the
pYoper method of drainage and the type
of foundation to be employed, much
care and study must be devoted to the
nature, type, and character OF the
soils in the section through which 1t is
proposed to build road.
The most important primary soils
are classified as gravel, sand and clay.
but often many of the secondary or
mixed soils, because of their more gen.
eral occurrence in connection with
road-building operations. are equally
important. Such types as loan, mari.
gumbo. and hardpan are representa-
tive Of this order.
In the design of road the drainage
structures are planned to take care
of water under three general conditions
rain that falls on a road surface or
grade; rain that falls on contiguous
land and flows in accumulated volume
toward the road and ground water
from any immediate source. To meet
these conditions use is found for spe-
cial structures, including longitudinal
side bitches, usually parallel, or APP
proximately parallel to the center line;
intercepting bitches to accommodate
water whose approach so close to the
roadway as the side bitches is likely
to cause injury; lateral bitches or cul-
verts to conduct accumulated water
away from or under the road;
and subdrains In order to plan intel
ligently system of drainage for any
particular road, it is necessary to con-

of Highway.

slider not only the local character Of
the soil composing the roadbed. but
also the topography of the adjacent
land, the amount and rate of rainfall
and the availability Of material suit
able for use in constructing drains.
Surface drainage systems for. roads
consist of side bitches along the road.
paved cutters (Which are develop
ment of side bitches and replace them)
open intercepting bitches constructed
to prevent water from reaching the
road. and lateral or relief bitches to
carry off the water which collects In
the side bitches or in the intercepting
bitches. Culverts and inclosed drains,
which are constructed for the purpose
/ of removing storm water from the side
bitches or cutters, are essentially a
part of the surface drainage system,
and are not to be confused with sub
drains which serve an entirely differ
ent purpose.
Where the grade of road Is so
| steep that the ordinary earth side
bitches cannot be maintained satisfac-
| torily at reasonable cost, or where
earth side bitches would be insanitary
or appear unsightly, 1t is customary to
provide paved cutters for removing the
surplus water.
| Drop inlets and catch basins are
used to conduct water from side ditch
es or cutters into underground drains
or culverts. On country roads they are
used most frequently on side hill loca-
lions where the water collecting in the
upper side ditch or gutter can be re-
moved from the road at Intervals by
means of culvert across to the low.
er side. Drop inlets usually are suffs
cient, and catch basins seldom are used
In country road work, except where II
Is especially desirable to prevent tht

by the water from getting into thu
