HOW TO PATCH GRAVEL ROAD
Work Should Always Be Done When
Road Is Wet, Preferably When
Water Is Standing in Ruts.

Patching is usually neglected or
done in such a way as to cause two
ruts to form where there was but one
before. That is the invariable result
Of filling a rut too full. This work
should always be done when the road
is wet, preferably when the water is
still standing in every little hollow on
the road surface, so that the wOrkmen
can just see where to place the new
gravel and about how much is needed.
Unless the rut is a very large one
It Is always best to shovel the gravel
from the wagon into it, rather than to
raise a sideboard and attempt to dump
a part Of the load. Patching done In
the proper manner when the road is
wet. followed by q road drag, will
maintain an old gravel road surface
as good as new until it is so badly
worn that an entirely new surface is
required. The gravel should never be
poorer than that forming the surface
layer of the old road. and especially
should contain a little. but not an ex-
cess Of clay.

the purpose Of the clay is to fill the

grader. The next step is thorough in
corporation of the materials. The mix.
ing proper may be done in a number
of ways and to suit the facilities OF
the builder. If the work is done just
preceding or during the rainy season
it may be left entirely to traffic, with
frequent shaping by the road grader,
or drag, after heavy rains, but this
process is hard on traffic and requires
a long time. The mixing can be done
most efficiently by means Of a disk
harrow either during or Immediately
after a rain, or the water may be
added with a sprinkling cart. The
first partial mixing may be done dry
but the final mixing must be thorough
and should be done when the entire
road surface is completely saturated
with water until a plastic mortar-like
mixture is secured. This should be
followed by a final shaping with the
road machine and cOmpacting by
either q roller or by traffic.

Boston, July n.-Train service on
the south shore lines of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad, was
still crippled to-day by washouts and
signal trouble due TO storms of Sat-
urdsy and Sunday Service on branch
lines between Whitman and East
Bridgewater and between Middleboro
and Lakeville was suspended and in
other sections long detours were nee-
essary. Nearly all trains were operat-
ing under slower schedules in some
sections as slow as four miles an hour
and conditions of the road continued
troublesome.
Disturbances neeessitated hand sig
mailing over part of the system.
Arrangements were made to taks
care of factory workers in the towns
around Brockton by re-routing and
trains and extra service.
Cars, crews of workmen and long
gravel trains were being sent out, Off
Gals said, and it. was hoped to restore
direct service during the day on all
lines with the possible exception of the
Whitman East Bridgewater route.

ENGLAND THREATENED

Eighty Days of Torrid Heat Have Par

London, July IL, tBy the Associated
Press THE United Kingdom, like
France, Belgium and various parts of
the continent, is sweltering from a
prolonged drought and heat wave with
no immediate relief in sight.
Eighty days of torrid drought have
parehed the fields and dried up wells,
while the Thames, Severn and other
rivers are unprecedently low and can
be forded in many places. Fires have
Invested thousands of acres of heaths
and commons, running many well
known beauty spots. There have been
several deaths as a result of the heat.
The early harvesting is in full swing,
but the wheat yield is poor and farm
ers everywhere report most Of their
crops are failures, except potatoes,
while the orchards are shedding their
fruit.
The water supply of London and
other big cities is becoming dangerous
ly low and the government has asked
householders TO restrict the use of
water TO the lowest possible minimum.
Temperature in the shade 70 day was
