innovative but often can lead to conflict and sharp disagreement.
2. What kind of information would you want to collect to conduct a political feasibility
analysis of Social Security reform (and from whom, in general terms)?
Ans: Information relating to interest groups such as the role of AARP in decisions
involving Social Security. They also can focus on public opinion issues that show
general support for Social Security. Finally, they can examine the role of major policy
actors in Congress and the president to see how they would be politically positioned on
an issue.
Cognitive Domain: Analysis
Difficulty Level: Hard
3. What are think tanks, and how are they involved in policy development? What
concerns might be raised about their involvement?
Ans: Think tanks are made up of numerous policy analysts that spend their lives
researching problems and alternatives. They can provide a level of expertise to help
decision makers consider a wide range of issues. The concern might lie in the type of
think tank: If it has an agenda, it is pushing and the fact that this type of organization is
not connected to our electoral or democratic process.
Instructor Resource
4. Policy analysis has been called “part science, part judgment.” Explain what this
means.
Ans: “Part science” refers to the various scientific research and analytic techniques that
are used to analyze policy. “Part judgment” refers to the fact that throughout the
process, there are points at which value judgments come into play, decisions are not
clear cut, and assumptions are made. Policy analysis can be highly rigorous and
comprehensive (scientific) and also highly political and much more limited.
5. Explain what “policy analysis” is and what it entails.

Ans: Policy analysis refers to the collecting and interpreting of information that clarifies
causes and affects problems. It can also refer to the assessment of alternatives. It
entails research and data collection and assessment of alternatives.
6. In policy analysis, what is involved in “analyzing the problem”? What are the
challenges one faces in doing so? And what is the benefit of a good analysis to policy
making?
Ans: First, defining the problem. The problem may be seen in a variety of ways, and to
some, it may not even be a problem. Politics is often involved. Understanding the scope
and nature of the problem using operational measures and data. Some challenges are
that the problem may be tough to measure, or there may be disagreement about how to
measure it. Learn about the problem’s causes (root and proximate) that face the
challenge of complexity of problems and finally set goals for reduction of the problem. A
good job analyzing the problem helps the policy maker identify policy actions more
effectively.
Cognitive Domain: Analysis
Difficulty Level: Hard
7. Describe the objectives, advantages, and limitations of the three types of policy
analysis. Provide examples of organizations or studies for each type.
Ans: Students need to discuss scientific, professional, and political policy analysis.
Scientific analysis seeks to build theory and can be limited by being too theoretical and
not practical. Professional analysis will analyze policy alternatives for solving problems
and can be limited by the narrowness of the research or neglect to study all of the
factors. Political analysis seeks to advocate/support preferred positions and is
sometimes limited by its ideological biases that may raise issues of credibility.
Sometimes these studies lack analytical depth.

Garden Plow Made of Pick-Up Material
By T. T. STURGEON
T he labor of spading a garden of even moderate size is sufficient to

warrant the person who undertakes the job in making a hand plow
like that shown in the illustration, for it will serve many years, with
reasonable care. I made one worth about $5 at an outlay of 25 cents,
gathering the necessary wood and metal from among old machine
parts and pick-up material.
An old wheelbarrow provided the 16-in. wheel. The handles were
made from a ⁷⁄₈ by 4-in. strip of spruce, 5 ft. long. They were marked
on the strip so that one of the curved grips was at each end, on
opposite edges. The curved parts of the grips were cut with a
keyhole saw, and when a kerf long enough to admit a large ripsaw
was cut, the board was ripped into the two handles. They were
smoothed and the grips trimmed with a sharp knife. A section of
broomstick was cut for the upper brace. The lower one is made of a
strip of iron, ¹⁄₄ by 1¹⁄₄ by 12 in., drilled for ¹⁄₄-in. bolts, and bent at
right angles, 1¹⁄₂ in. from each end. Drill a ¹⁄₄-in. hole at the middle, to
engage a bolt on which the vertical strip is supported, and adjusted
to the operator, as shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1
Fig. 4
Fig. 2
Fig. 5 Fig. 3
This Hand Garden Plow was Made of Old Material, a Shovel being Used for
the Making of the Moldboard
Cut a strip, ¹⁄₄ by 1¹⁄₄ by 18 in., for the vertical support, shown in
Fig. 5. Drill four ¹⁄₄-in. adjusting holes, 1 in. apart, at the upper end,
and three ¹⁄₄-in. holes at the lower end for fastening the strip to the
moldboard, as shown in Fig. 3. Drill a ⁵⁄₁₆-in. hole at the 7¹⁄₂-in. mark,
for bolting the strip to the braces, the other ends of which are fitted
on the ³⁄₈ by 10-in. bolt used as an axle. Cut the two braces 14 in.
long, of ¹⁄₄ by 1¹⁄₄-in. strips, and drill a ³⁄₈-in. hole in the forward end
of each, to fit the axle, and a ⁵⁄₁₆-in. hole in the opposite ends, 1 in.
from the ends in each case. Cut a strip, ¹⁄₈ by ³⁄₄ by 12 in., for the
landside, as shown in Fig. 2, bent under the moldboard, and bolted
to it. The proper angle can best be bent after the moldboard is made
and fitted.
The method of marking the shape of the moldboard on the blade
of an old shovel is shown in Fig. 4. Make a pattern of cardboard,
marking it into 1-in. squares. Draw the shape of the moldboard by
tracing the outline through the corresponding squares, using the
diagram as a guide. Mark the position of the bolt holes, for fastening
it to the vertical support, indicated by the dash lines at the right. Cut
out the pattern and trace around it on the shovel, using the thickest
part for the point of the share. Cut out the outline, smooth the edges,
and point up the cutting edge. Drill holes for fastening the moldboard
to the vertical strap with ¹⁄₄-in. bolts, and for the fastenings to the
landside, with ³⁄₁₆-in. bolts.
Curve the moldboard into shape and fit it to the various supports
so that it sits properly, as shown in Fig. 1, seen from the furrow side,
in Fig. 2, from the rear, and in Fig. 3, from the land side. Bend the
12-in. strip into shape, as shown in Fig. 3, and bolt it into place, to
form the landside. Assemble the parts, being careful that the wheel
and landside are set in line, as shown in Fig. 2, and that the rear
edge of the latter is raised slightly, as in Fig. 3. The plow should be
given a coat of paint, and the cutting parts made smooth, and oiled.
An Interesting Water Telescope
A water telescope is easy to make and will afford much pleasure in
exploring plant or animal life in comparatively shallow water. The
device is made by fitting a heavy glass disk into the end of a round
metal tube, about 2 in. in diameter. The glass is fitted between two
rings of metal, preferably with a small flange set against the glass. A
waterproof cement is used to fix the glass between the rings. To use
the “telescope,” rest it on the side of a boat or other convenient place
at the water, and set the lower end, containing the glass, under the
water. Remarkably clear views may be had in this way.—S. Leonard
Bastin, Bournemouth, England.
Writing on a Moving Train
Writing legibly on a fast-moving train is difficult to a person
unaccustomed to it. The railroad conductor knows the trick of it and
manages to get along quite satisfactorily. He prefers to write in a
standing position and holds his right elbow firmly against his side.
The reason for this is that in a sitting posture there is too much
lateral movement in the trunk of the body, while in a standing
position this is more easily controlled. When the arm swings freely,
as in ordinary writing, several joints of the body are affected in the
process, each of which is capable of its own motion. Holding the
elbow against one’s ribs “breaks” these motion tendencies, except
that of the wrist, which movement is necessary in writing, and thus
the pencil, or pen, is more easily controlled.
The same principles modified apply in using a typewriter on a
moving train. Many traveling men, news correspondents, and others,
carry portable typewriters and do much of their writing while traveling
on trains, not to mention the various railroad and government men
who travel in office cars and necessarily must get out their
correspondence en route. It is extremely difficult to execute neat
typewriting on a moving train with free-arm movement, even though
the central portion of the car where the vibration and swing is less
severe, is selected. As I am employed in such capacity, I had to
evolve some plan to expedite the work. I am able to do typewriting
quite rapidly by resting the palm of the hands, near the wrists,
against the front edge of the typewriter frame surrounding the
keyboard, and using the swing of the fingers instead of that of the
whole arm, as in ordinary typewriting.—Victor Labadie. Dallas, Tex.
A Revolving Window Display
A jeweler attracted passers-by and not a few customers by placing
a revolving display in his window which was kept in motion by means
of the arrangement shown in the sketch. A 10-in. cut-glass bowl was
placed, upside down, near the front of the show window. An inverted
tumbler was set upon it and a small tin box was pivoted on the
tumbler by means of a needle soldered inside of it. Six arms of wire
were soldered to the box, and watches were suspended from them.
The carefully balanced frame revolved easily on the point of the
needle. It was kept in motion by the draft from a fan hidden behind a
mirror.—H. S. Hart, Shreveport, La.
A Horse-Drawn Sod Cutter
The cutting of a considerable area of sod is tedious work when
done by hand, and it is difficult to make the sections of uniform
thickness and size. These important features are provided for by the
use of the homemade sod cutter shown in the sketch. To start a cut
across a meadow or lot, a notch is cut in the turf for the blade, and
the device is set into place, stamping it down to give a good start.
The operator stands on the plank in front of the blade, and a little
practice will soon determine the best position for ease in operation.
When a cut has been completed, the cutter is dragged to a fresh
starting place, the driver turning it over on the upper side. The strips
are cut into suitable lengths and piled conveniently for removal with a
stone boat or wagon.
With This Device Sod may be Cut Quickly and of Uniform Width and
Thickness
The device may be made of any suitable width; 15 in. between the
inner edges of the blade, and the latter set to cut a depth of about
2¹⁄₂ in., being desirable. The board is a 2-in. plank, about 4 ft. long.
The blade should be set with the cutting edge slanting slightly
downward so as to make the device “bite” into the ground. A smaller
cutter may be made for use by boys, several of whom may draw it.—
F. H. Sweet, Waynesboro, Va.
A Match-Box Trick
All that is required to perform this trick is a box of safety matches.

Four matches are removed and three of them arranged as shown in
the sketch. The performer then tells his friends that he will light the
fourth match and set the cross match on fire in the center, then asks
which match of the standing ones will light first. Most persons will not
stop to think and guess either one or the other. As a matter of fact,
after the cross match is set on fire it soon burns the wood away, and
the pressure of the two side matches will cause it to spring out so
that neither catches fire.—Contributed by Abner B. Shaw, North
Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
Cutting Glass Bottle with Electricity
Performing an experiment in a laboratory, it became necessary to

have some apparatus which we did not possess at the time. A bell
jar could have been used, but this we did not have, and as a
substitute we used a large glass bottle, 8 in. in diameter, with the
bottom removed. In order to do this, we first made a mark around the
outside of the bottle near the bottom with a glass cutter. A piece of
copper wire, ¹⁄₃₂ in. in diameter, was then wound around the outside
on the mark and connected to the circuit.
As the wire would expand enough to make it slip off the bottle
when heated red-hot, pliers were used to keep it taut about the bottle
when the current was turned on. A current of 110 volts and 5
amperes was run through the wire, heating it red-hot, and this
cracked the glass exactly on the line marked by the glass cutter.—

Nail Cabinet with Muffin-Pan Trays
Muffin-pan trays used by the housewife in baking make
serviceable containers for nails, screws, and other small articles
used in a shop. The illustration shows the pans fitted into a box, and
sliding in grooves cut into the sides with a saw.
The Metal Trays Are Substantial and may be Removed Readily for Use
Elsewhere
The box is made with the end pieces lapping over the top and the
bottom this being a better construction to carry the weight of the
trays. The wood used in the sides is ⁷⁄₈ in. thick, in order that a saw
cut may be made to a depth of ¹⁄₄ in. without weakening the support.
Thinner wood may be used if instead of saw cuts small strips of
wood are nailed against the side on which the trays may slide.—
Contributed by Harry J. Blacklidge, San Rafael, Cal.
Waterproofing Matches
Dipping ordinary parlor matches into melted paraffin and
permitting them to dry thoroughly will enable them to withstand
water. The paraffin acts like a wax candle and is unaffected by the
moisture. This should be of aid to campers and others who find it
hard to keep matches dry.—Contributed by T. W. Lambert, Jr., New
York, N. Y.
