GOOD SUPPLY OF
GRAVEL NCOUNTY

The public In Marion County
should be educated regarding the
adaptability and many advantages Of
using gravel in its concrete road
building work, according to c. w.
Stevens, manager of the Stevens
Gravel Company.
Splendid gravel roads can be built
very economically in Marion County
because we have many fine gravel
beds which are being operated, es-
pecially along our creeks and on
White River" declared Stevens
County interest will be greatly
served IN other ways than economy
by the use of gravel upon our high
ways. We have within the boundar-
les Of Marion County a lot Of high
ways that should be improved and
we have plenty of labor available for
that work. Right in our backyard
natures forces have placed almost
unlimited quantities Of gravel and
sand.
"This gravel can be supplied to
meet any specification and can be
placed upon our county roads at a
total cost Of only $1.6S a cubic yard.
This figure will cover labor costs and
material"
Stevens operates a modern sand
and gravel plant at Tory Ave, and
S. Harding ST., having moved from
the Morris st. and Eagle Creek loca-
ton some time ago. New equipment
has been added to obtain a high
grade sand and gravel for all types
Of construction work.

FORESEES ACUTE p
COAL SITUATION

Consumption Of coal in large guam
titles by industrial concerns and
large foreign shipments Of American
coal has resulted in increasing the
domestic cost of coal and has
brought about n situation which may
become still more acute before the
close of winter, according to Kay
Macy, president OF the Peoples Coal
and Cement Company, 1lO9 II.
Fifteenth st.
MACY pointed out that the tallure
Of the general public in Indianapolis
to lay in it's winters coal during the
summer months when plenty OF coal
was available will have an erect

lines.
Dut to the closing of the Great
Lakes shipping season with the adj
vent of freezing weather and with
general shipping more than mlihoh
tons of coal behind in its NORTHWEST
supply program. the resultant local
shortage is expected to increase
prices considerably.
If coal cars can be kept rapidly
moving and If the weather condl-
tions are not too severe, the sltua-
tion may be eased somewhat but
TRANSPORTATION will be handicapped TO
a great extent in any event by the
insistent demands for filling tardy
retail orders.

GENEVA, Nov. 25.-Thanksgiving

colony in each of the larger Swiss
cities today either by an afternoon
reception or a Thanksgiving dinner

different cities, all Of whom
additionally hope some day to land
a top-notch job in some big American
hotel, took advantage Of the occasion
to make the roast turkey look as
though it had been prepared to meet
all Of President Coolidge's Mas
sachusetts ideas on the subject and
to make the canned cranberries look
as though they had just been picked
off the bushes.
Special Thanksgiving services
were also held in the American
Episcopal Church at Geneva and in
most Of the other Swiss cities.

HONGKONG, Nov. 25.-Father
Fletcher and six Catholic sisters who
arrived here after narrowing ex-
periences in the hands Of Chinese
pirates were rapidly recovering to-
day.
The sisters and Father Fletcher
were en- route from Honeymoon to
Yeungkong when a dozen passengers
who had boarded the steamer Waihoi
at Kongwood revealed themselves as
bandits. From Friday until Tues
day the party was in the hands of
various bandits. Their vessel was
beached, and no sooner would one
pirate gang come aboard to search
for removable loot and leave with
their booty than another gang would
arrive. Altogether, a score of
pirate bands came aboard the ship
None of the Americans was injured
although their money and some of
their clothing was stolen. Several

other has more of the small English
manor house design. Both have Eng
.ish tile roofs which set off the brick
and stucco to good effect.
The basement walls of both are in
sulated against dampness and cold,
preventing rust, mildew and musty
odors.
According to L. w. Klatte, local
manager of the Straub Cinder Block
Company, 5S5 Century Bldg, the two
Pray houses represent significant
advancement made in construction
work Of this era.
THE walls above the grade are
built OF Straub cinder blocks, stuc-
coed in one of the houses and brick
veneered in the other" he said. THE
stucco is applied directly to the Gin
der blocks. The plaster also Is APP
piled direct to the cinder block sur
face inside. This sort Of construc-
ton provides a dry wall, free from
all sweating and dampness and dis
penses with all timber construction
in the walls, giving many advan-
tages to the home such as fire-resist-
ance, better insulation against heat
losses, also insulation against noise
from the outside and provides that
quiet atmosphere which every home
should have.
THE cinder blocks in these houses
also provide durability that gives
maximum life with minimum depre-
| citation and consequently saving in
upkeep cost. Straub cinder blocks
also have the added advantage of
providing a more economical con-
struction that costs no more than
good frame construction"

JUAREz TAKES
BEES IN CAMP
BY 6-2 SCORE

With Tom Seaton hurting super-fine
ball, Juarez trimmed the Bisbee Bees
in, the series opener Friday by the
score of 6 to 2. The victory kept the
Indians in first place, but as Fort
Bayard won also, the race for the
league honors in the first half is still
a close one between the Indians ano
the Vets.
Seaton allowed only seven bingles
and sent eight Bisbee batters back to
the bench via the strikeout route.
Juarez talliedl once in the second
frame on hits by Antista and Johnson
and then iced the game in the third
chapter with a three-run offensive.
Two more tallies were added to the
Indians four, in the fourth inning.
Bjsbee scored it's first run in the
fourth on hits by Dorman and Flick
enger. The second marker for the
Bees came in the eighth inning whe1
Garrity doubled into left field, was
advanced to third on an infield out,
and scored on a fielder's choice
Henry pitched the entire game for
the Bees and was hit opportunely,
He was touched for 10 hits in all. Red
Dorman was, as usual, the star of the
Bisbee lineup, getting two hits out
of three tries and spearing two hard
drives in the outfield. Berry, Bisbee
catcher, also made two safe hits, one
of them going for three bases.
Antista, Johnson and Seaton were
the mainsprings of the Juarez hitting
brigade, each making two safe wal
lops.

MELHORN THIRD
In TRICK GOLF
AT MOOR PARK
(By Dispatch A. p. wire)

MOOR PARK, England, June IL
Bill Mehlhorn of Chicago finished
third today in the first days play of
a freakish target golf tournament
competition, which has been heraIded
as an innovation. "A scientific system
of point scoring is used instead Of
the orthodox counting by strokes.
Mehlhorn's total for the 1S holes was
160 points, out of possible 22S Abe
Mitchell, British professional, who had
the best count of the day, scored 172,
while C. HI. Corless of Dorsetshfre,
who finished second, had 161.
Other entrants from the United
States finished far down the list, and
probably are out of the running for
the prize money-10O0 pounds. Brief
ly, in target golf, the players are
awarded points for we'll directed tee
shots, for the accuracy of their ap-
proaches through the green on which
are marked three concentric circles
and for putting to the bulls eye,
which is the cup.
Points which can be made range
from to 12, depending on the
length of the hole and it's intricacies.
The scoring is so involved that only
the battalions of official markers
knew exactly what was happening,
and even the officials were not al
ways cognizant of the finer points
of the mathematical calculations nee
essary in computing the players ag-
gregate.
