OPERATION OF A ROAD DRAG
BLUE BLOUSE AND HAT STYLE
-A Air ti
Principal Factor Is Skill on Part of
Operator Suggestions Given
as Guide.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Tlie principal factor In successfully
operutiiiK a properly constructed road
drug, provided that the condition of
the road Is favorable, Is skill on the
part of the operator. Such skill can
be obtained only by Intelligent experi
ence In the use of the drag, and no
rules can be laid down which would
enuble an inexperienced operator to
produce first-class results. The fol
lowing suggestions are Intended, there
fore, to serve ruther as a guide to the
judgment than as a criterion to be lin
pllcity followed.
Under ordinary circumstances the
position of the hitching link on the
draw chain should be such that the
runners will muke an angle of from
tit) to 70 degrees with the center line
of the road, or, In other words, a skew
angle of from 15 to 30 degrees. It !
apparent that by shifting the position
of the hitching link the angle of skew
may be Increased or diminished as the
conditions require. When dragging
Immediately over ruts or down the
center of the road after the sides have
been dragged, It Is usually preferable
to have the hitching link at the center
of the chain and to run the drug with
out skew. When the principal pur
pose of the drugging Is to increase the
crown of the road, the drag should be
sufficiently skewed to discharge ull
material as rapidly as it Is collected
on the runners. On the other hand, If
depressions occur In the road surface,
the kew may perhaps he advantage
ously reduced to a minimum, thus en
iibling the operator to deposit the ma
terial which collects In front of the
runners at such points as he desires
by lifting or otherwise manipulating
1 tin drug. Many other examples of con
ditions which require mniliiicalions in
the angle of skew mighl easily be
cited, but these will readily suggest
themselves lo an Intelligent operator
us his experience increases.
The length of hitch is another very
Important .consideration in operating a
road ding. In the designs which have
been discussed the draw chain may lie
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 tile length
of hltcli, because It Is materially af
fected by the height of the team anil
the arrangement of the harness, as
well as by the condition of the road
surface. Ilxpcrlcuce will soon teach
the operator, however, when to wluut

Hobble Affairs Are Declined by Many,
Yet Majority Follow Fash
ion's Decrees.
The question of skirt width Is a
problem that looms lurge on the hori
zon of the fashion world just now.
Straight line effects have held sway
for many seusons, and this season
garments rather reached the limit of
strulghtness by reason of the decree
that popularized the very norrow
skirt. Coming as It did Immediately
on the basis of a period of unheurd-of
activity umong women, due to the de
mand for their service In ull sorts of
war work, the vogue for ultra narrow
skirts attracted more attention than
It ordinarily would, and muny women
have firmly declined to accept the
hobble uffalrs. However, the majority
of women follow fashion's decrees
whether they really like them or not,
and skirls not more than a yard In
width are everyday sights on the
streets of most cities.
A foreword from rails announces
that very full skirts are looming up
there, mid there Is n very strong Indi
cation that when full styles put In

serve merely as foundations if any re

Designers Appreciate Importance of
House Construction From the
Standpoint of the Women.
The average citizen, supported by
the women of his household, is de
manding improved home building and
this will, of course, influence nil 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

The United States Housing corpora

Utopian building scheme. It has slm

the workman is seriously depreciated
if he and his family must live In un

that if he Is to work to his best ca

Need for City Planning.
The need of city plajming and the
pushiug of public work is greater to
day than ever before, said Walter D.
Moody, managing director of the Chi
cago plan commission, In nn Interview
with a 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 coped with for the well-being
of the people in them without a defi
nite city plan to work to. The prob
lems of parks, better housing, sanita
tion, ample means for recreation, and
facilitation of traffic and the relief of
traffic congestion, must be given spe
cial attention.
