) DRAGGING ROADS IN SPRING By Taking .Advantage of Proper Mo- ment Many of Ruts and Bumps Can Be Smoothed Out. Most earth and gravel roads are in bad shape during the entire winter, largely because of the heavy fall haul- ing of harvested crops, and the rush of necessary farm work, which takes precedence over any kind of rcad work, The cold weather strikes them in this condition and makes each rut and bump almost as solid as rock, and in the spring these break down into wmud, Traveling over these ruts is a very racking, uncomfortable, and sometimes painful, operation. The rough jolts re- quire a reduction in speed, cause an - added strain on all classes of hauling Plan of Plank Road Drag. equipment, and frequently force the au- tomobile owner to abandon the use of his car for the entire spring rather than risk a breakdown. Most of the unpleasantness and dif- ficulty may be remedied in many local- ities even in the worst weather, for there are times when the worst cué up surface is in fairly good condition for dragging. By taking advantage of ' the proper moment, the ruts and bumps <can- be smoothed out and the’ next freeze will result in a smooth hard- surfaced pike that can be favorably compared to a concrete highway. Owing to the fact that the road sur- face will be rather wet and sticky when dragged, grenter care must be exerelsed in handling the drag. If the blades of the drag are set vertically, there will be a tendéncy to scrape up too much earth, or, in the language the road man, “Ball up in front." , if the hitch to the team I8 set too near the center, the angle of the drag with the road will be too nearly a right angle, or straight across, to shed or crown the wet earth. Dragging under these conditions should be more an “Ironing out the wrinkles" process; hence the blades of the drag should be given a forward or flatter inclination than when work- fng a dry road. The hitch should be so arranged that the angle of the drag is more nearly parallel to the road #han ordinary, thus causing the earth to shed petter and prevent trouble, For extremely bad conditions, the use of the road machine ahead of the drag will.be found effective. In-all cases, the road should be freed of all stumps, snags, and bowlders, as these seriously retard good drugging. A little practice will enable the op- erator to do a falrly creditable job, and after a subsequent freeze the road wik present 8 smoother and much more comfortable surface. Then, when the “®spfing rains come, the road will qrck. 1y ehed the water that formerly col lected in the deep ruts, and be dry and hard long before similar rovds not dragged.

These men were all in the best of physical condition, and during the experiment their health was looked after carefully. Live cultures of influenza bacill were sprayed in their throats and noses hourly, The germs were introduced Into their food. They were kept in close contact with patients suffering from the disease. Some members of the group received varions preventive {naculations, but others were not thus protected. Not a single case of influenza was de veloped. “Great Tom"” Not in Abbey. Westminster abbey bells, which are now being overhauled against the cele- bration of peace, do not, as many peo- ple think, fmclude the famous bell “Great Tom of Westminster,” whjch was formerly rung on all important occasions. Great Tom hung for centuries in the clock tower of the royal palace of Westminster, hut when In 1715 the tower was no longer strong ¢hough to stand the vibration and was taken down the bell was sent to St. Paul's cathedral instead of being taken to the abbey. Great Tom’s duties are now con- fined to striking the hours and tolling for roya! and important deaths and burials, Traced the Pantalettes.

This desid- eratum now seems to have become an accomplished fact in Sweden, where the shortage of rubber has caused great efforts to be made to find a sat- isfactory substitute for the pneumatic tire. The new device consists of a thin strip of hardemned steel supported on the rim by springs, the combination being said to give résults comparable with those obtalned by the use of rub- ber. Skidding is prevented by the sharp edge of the steel tread, while such tires are, of course, quite un- puncturable. Whether the new device will survive when rubber again be- comes plentiful is perhaps doubtful, but as a war-time measure it has proved very useful.—From Chambers’ Jaurnal. MUSTERDLEQUIK RELIEF!
