After the "Reign Of the Hundred

Nepoleon at Waterloo. the congress

s.rgeant of marines whom Napoleon
had made a marshal Of France ana
King of Naples. had deserted the EN-
,,eror when things went against MIN
in 1914. hoping thus to keep his throne
of Naples and the two Sicilies. But
Murat knew that the congress OF
Vienna was seeking some excuse to
oust him and dispose Of his kingdom ;
that they would, by hook or crook
find such an excuse. and so, when
Napoleon broke out from Elba, he de-
c,e red for the emperor. Whereupon
an allied army promptly drove him
out of Naples. Now the congress gave
Murat's kingdom to that line OF the
Rourbons which had formerly reigned
there. whose misrule had been a scan
dal to Europe.
The congress spent a very agree
able summer and fall in completing
their work. When IT was concluded
Austria had not only northern Italy

ing an architect is always good busi-
ness for the home builder. These ex-
perts In building give the prospective
builder many valuable hints that will
save money, and prevent disappoint'
ment.
The cost Of this house can quickly
be found by consulting the local ma
terial dealer. Prices Of all materials
and of labor differ in different locali-
ties, so an estimate that would be
correct In one place would not be In
another. The difference is brought
about by the difference in freight rates
from the source Of supply.
There are many arguments In favor
Of every family owning and living In
their own home. Rents all are based
on the amount of money invested In
the building, the cost Of upkeep, plus
a profit for the owner. Home build

ers and bankers always are ready to

capital 10 build his home. The cost
Is paid the same as rent.
The satisfaction and comfort that
come to the home owner are well
worth the small sacrifices required to
secure a home. And when that home
is paid for the owner has an asset that
cannot be measured in dollars. He Is
one of the good substantial members
of his community-one of the men who
has the interest of his home town al
heart. 1t certainly pays to own 9

tion degenerates into an liberated

More women are working In gardens
than ever before. and they are profit
ing by 1t both in health and purse.
Some find the bending during trans
planting and wedding tiresome and
are apt to result In backache. The
United States department of agricul-
lure has planned a garden set, consist
ing Of a kneeling pad and tool apron.
which the garden club girls may make.
Its use lessons the amount of bending
and eliminates much of the backache.
Any woman will find such a set attrac-
tive and useful. Small plants are on
veniently carried In the pocket of the
pad, and the small tools fit into the
apron.
Making Garden kneeIing Pad.
The pad may be made of mating,
b sap, denim, oilcloth, heavy canvas,
or even an old rug or piece Of carpet.
Mating lined with brown denim Is
very suitable, because this color does
not show soil easily. The mating
lined with brown denim and bound
with red tape makes an attractive
color combination. If cloth without
mating is uced, it will be necessary
to cut the pattern double and place
a heavy cardboard between the out
side and the lining In order to hold
the shape when finished. Cotton tape
is used for binding edges together and
for the handles. An oblong piece OF
black oilcloth sewed on the underside
of the bottom will protect he pad
and keep the cushion dry.
One-half yard of mating, n yard
of denim, one roll of one-inch tape,
and one oblong of black Oilcloth will
be sufficient to make this pad. Cut a
paper pattern by the measurements
given In the illustration. The oblong
may be made larger or smaller as
desired. When such changes are
made, however. the side ends which
fold around should be made long or
short enough to meet exactly the bach
orner of the squares. Cut the lining

the rungs. These boards should be
about 8 inches wide and their length
should be slightly less than that OF
the runners Of the drag.
The chain by means Of which the
drag is drawn should be about 8 feet
long and its links should be made
of three-eighths-inch steel. On light
drags two trace chains may be used
for this purpose. .,
Many road drags constructed as
above described, without m~etal-cutting
edges or other notifications, have been
very satisfactorily used where the con-
ditions were favorable. 1t is evident.
however, that such drags are effective
only on comparatively soft road u r
faces, and to diminish this Limitation
and also to increase the life Of the
drag 1t is very desirable to provide
a metal-cutting edge for the front rum
ner. An excellent edge Of this kind
may be made from a strip of iron or
steel about one-fourth mch thick and
about four inches wide, and even old
wagon tires or WORKOUT grader blades
have been very satisfactory.

PLAN TO MAKE A ROAD DRAG


prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The accompanying illustration shows
q typical design for a road drag. which
is very simple and inexpensive. The
design contemplates the use of an Ordi-
nary log of timber, such as may be
readily obtained in almost every local
ity. The log should be about Z or 3
inches In diameter and from 9 to 8 feet
long, and should preferably be of hard,
tough wood which will not decay very
rapidly when exposed to the weather.
White oak, burr oak, chestnut, cedar,
hickory, walnut, or any similar wood
may be satisfactorily used, provided
that It is well seasoned before the
drag is put into ISL Railroad ties
have been frequently used for this
purpose and possess the advantage
that they are already cut to about the
right length. In selecting the tie,
however, care should be exercised to
see that it Is of sound wood and Of
the proper size.
The drag is made by splitting or
saving the log into two equal semi
cylinders, which are then framed to-
gether In the manner shown In the
illustration. The better of the two
pieces should form the front runner
of the drag, because it is the m sub
jected to the greater wear. Moreover,
while the front runner should always
be placed with the face forward, it is
claimed by many that better results
may be obtained by having the round
part of the back runner go forward In
order to increase the smearing action
Of the drag. The two runners are
usually spaced from about 30 inches
to SO inches apart, and are connected
In ladder fashion by means of cross
stakes or rungs.
The ends of the rungs are ordinarily
fitted into pinch auger holes, bored In
the runners, and are securely held In
place by means Of end wedges. The
auger holes are so arranged that the
runners, when framed together, will
be displaced in a longitudinal direc'
ton with respect to each other. The
object of this displacement, or Offset
as 1t Is usually termed, is to make the
ends of the front and back runners
follow approximately the same line or
the road while the drag is in oper
alton. The amount of displacement
therefore, should depend on the amount
of skew necessary to make the dral
empty itself. But since this skew va
ries with the condition Of the roat
surface, the proper offset to be giver
to n cannot be definitely fixed
Under ordinary conditions an offse
of from about IL inches to about II
inches will prove satisfactory.
In order to make it easy for a mai
to stand upon the drag and to shift hi
weight properly when dragging owe
a hard surface, the drag should b.
provided with two 1-inch boards paral
lei to the runners and nailed down t

There are many reasons why the
prospective home builder should at
once select the plan Of the house he
wants and start construction now.
Building materials are higher in price
than they were two years ago. but not
as high as they We're last fall. Labor
costs a little less than it did In OctO-
Der, 1918. And coupled with these rea-
sons is the fact that there will be
no change during the present year In
the price of materials, with a strong
probability that they will go higher
mex year. This last statement Is bas-
ed on the fact that the costs of a ma
FORTY of necessities have risen during
the first four months of the year,
Building material prices, however
have been stabilized, that Is, they will

Want BIG STANDING
ARMY; POST MEETS

That the members of the American
legion will not tolerate universal
training or large standing army was
obvious at a meeting of Capitol Post
No. 3, held in the Commercial Club
auditorium last night. The men pres
ent went on emphatic record as op-
posing these things, and declared
themselves against foreign language
newspapers being published in the
United States.
The men made it plain that they
favor small standing army with
well organized and equipped nation
al guard in preference to all other
present systems.
The post also went on record as be-
ing strongly in favor of a rigorous in
vestigation of army prison camps and
alleged unjust punishment and treat
ment of internes. They also favor inn
mediate deportation of aliens convict
ed of combating government prin-
ciples

meeting there. The meeting was per-
meated with enthusiasm, and all busi-

LODGE PLAN TO
KILL SHANTUNC
CLAUSE beaten

Washington, Nov. 4.--The senate to-
day voted down a motion by Senator
Lodge to strike out the Shantung sec
ton of the peace treaty The vote was
rs to Al.
Preceding this vote the senate laid
aside until tomorrow the LaFollette
amendment to strike out the labor sec
ton.
Lodge asked also for immediate con-
sideration of the Gore amendment to
require a referendum on declaration of
war under the league
Senator Borah's amendment to
strike out article, 10 was called up fol-
lowing defeat of the Shantung amend
ment when Gore asked for delay on
his amendment. Borah spoke briefly
in support of his motion.
VIII Hays, chairman of the repub-
lican national committee, made a fly
ing trip to Washington today to confer
with Senator Lodge. The purpose, it
is believed, was to urge speed in acting
on the treaty.
Following the Hays conference Sen.
ator Watson, Indiana, one Of the re-
publican leaders, said the chances of
finally disposing of the treaty by the
end of next week were never better.
