BLENDING is NECESSARY
TO KEEP COFFEE SAME
Forrest Crissey. in the Saturday Evenias

Forrest Crissey, in the Saturday Evenin,
Post.
The object toward which the coffee
plender must constantly strive Is that
OF giving the consumer an Identical
cup Of coffee whenever he buys the
same brand. When he finds the CUP
OF coffee that just suits his taste he
wants that particular layor and
strength repeated In every cup he
drinks thereafter. He wants to know
that when he calls for a certain brand
of coffee ne is going to get markings
OF a certain number of cups of coffee
identical with the one that first rang
the bell OF his approval. Tho laynan
might easily imagine that this would
simply be q matter of roasting and
grinding the same grade of coffee; but
snca Is far from being the case. The
same Erade of coffee may show
startling variations when hrewod In
the cup
THE only method by which the Job
Der has been able to gtandardixe his
brand of coffee, SO that the atapdiza-
ton WIZ carry to the cup and maintain
Its characteristics in flavor and
strength in the beverage itself. u
mainly by the skillful blending OF two
three, OF perhaps four coffees, raised
IN different countries and havina
radically different characteristics.
"The function OF the coffee blendea
is not only delicate and difficult, but II
Is also highly competitive. Thousands
and hundreds of thousands of dollart
every year in good trade to q single
1obbing house depend upon the success
OF the coffee blender. II he fails ts
maintain the identity of a populaa
brand OF coffee he can do his house
about as much damage al can any raas
in its employ.
"To produce a brand Of coffee tina,
viii maintain the same strength ans
flavor In the beverage itself Ia no Sim
PIE problem. 1t does not mean merely
using the same grades of coffee berries
grown In the same localities, roasted
in the same manner and blended in the
same proportions from year TO year,
Change in soil and climate conditions

changes in the coffees; and, therefore,
the bender must begin his work ali
over again with every new consign~ |
ment of his raw material. He ex- |
perinients with his ingredients until
ne strikes the combination that gvies
the right result in the cup. Then he
works back from the cup and pro- |
duces his blend upon a commercial |
scale.
The skill required TO accomplish no

must be remembered that the grocery

=. THE SCHOOL PLAY GROUND. !


=. THE SCHOOL PLAY GROUND. !
How large is your school play
ground? Henry S. Curtis. in a bulletin
Just Issued by the United States bu-
reau Of education. declares that every
city school building should have at
least n full block Of ground. whether
the block is the usual city block of
two OF three acres. or one of 10 acres.
ne asserts. AS for the country school.
1t ought never to have less than three
acres of play space, and could profit
ably make use of 10 acres. provided the
grass Is kept moved.
Dir. Curtis shows that our schools
have. in general. had very Inadequate
yards. During the past 10 years. how
ever. with the development Of the play
demand for ground space around school
buildings. The state boards of educa-
ton In Pennsylvania and Virginia Will
not approve plans for new school
buildings that do not provide for ade-
quate play grounds. In Little Rock,
q school has been carried out with
every n of the schools for white chill
dren. All but n or two of the
schools in Pueblo. Colo. have a full
BLOCK. In san angelo. Tex, every
school but one has two blocks at least.
and two have 10 acres of play gpace.
The first school built In Gary, Ind. had
two acres of play ground. the second
had o the third IL and q lot re-
Gently purchased contains 20 acres.
There is a very strong sentiment ALI
over the country for larger school
grounds" Mr.. Curtis finds. "and Yards
are being augmented In many cities
where there is an opportunity to pur-
chase adjoining pieces of land at prices
that are not prohibitive. Cities are
often paying as much as $4,000 or
more per acre for such land. Two
years ago the city of Houston, Tex.
secured a bond Issue of 100000 for
erlarging the Yards Of several ~ tts
old schools. The city OF Galveston
a recently voted a bond issua of
100000 for the anne purpose"
Whether in city o country, Mr..
Curtis considers ample school piay
ground q vital necessity. CITY chill
dren need a gocd-sized school yard
because there is no other place to NAV,
Country children need a large yard
because at home there is mo one To
with. except in the sirnplest
games for little children" He points
out that larger school grounds are de-
manded. not only for the sake of or
gantzed play. which has come TO have
q recognized value in education. but
also Tor schoo gardening, open air
classes. physicSl training and other
activities that have made the school
YARD nearly as important as the class
