EnrIy AsphnIt Ronds.

History and tradition have furnished
us with the basic Information which
has guided us in building the civiliza-
tion of today. Ii is said that in prehis-
tOric times the incas Of Peru built
roads that extended from the tropical
ly heated valleys up the mountains TO
the regions of perpetual frost. using
the natural asphalt rock. and these
roads are in good condition today. Tho
discovery of large section in Ken
tucky covered with asphalt rock. which
scientists have pronounced n perfect
and natural combination of asphalt
and quartz sand. most valuable for
paving purposes and far superior TO
any artificial combination that could
be made. is of vital importance. says
the American Asphalt Journal. The
day may not be far distant when ey-
cry city and village will have all streets
paved with asphalt rock. a material
which is not only the most durable.
but cleanly and noiseless.
