new MATERIAL
GIVES SUPERIOR
ROAD SURFACE
Special Maintenance Gravel
Developed Here May
Reduce Costs.

A maintenance gravel, expected
to reduce the ultimate gravel road
maintenance costs and provide a
superior road surface, has been de-
veloped by the American Aggre-
gates Corporation in cooperation
with Marion county commissioners
and Charles Mann, highway super
intendent.
This material was developed by
the company to meet needs of state
highway and county engineers in
the various states in which it OPP
crates.
Leading highway engineers rec
ogniZe, according to c. Gray
American Aggregates Corporation
district manager, that no gravel
should be used on gravel road
surface which contains materials
with a maximum size in excess of
one and one-fourth inches, nor
which will pass through a one
tenth-inch screen. Some engi-
neers hold the maximum should
not be more than three-quarters of
an inch.
All boulders in the natural de-
post of gravel above this maxi
mum size are ground down. Ma
terial of this kind produces a sur
face with a minimum amount Of
dust, as we'll as a smooth riding
surface, cheaply and easily main
tanned.
The American Aggregates Cor
porations modern equipment in its
West Raymond street plant makes
it possible to provide this special
product at a nominal cost to the
county.
Economy of this type of mainte-
nance has enabled the county to
start maintaining several roads
which have had practically no at
tention in ten years, Gray said.

COFFEE LOSES
FLAVOR AFTER
BEING ROASTED
Use of Drip oil ator Gives
Delicious Drink Clear
as Pure Amber.

When coffee first became popular
in England, $50 years ago, it was
considered a mans drink. 1t was
served only in coffee houses, which
no woman ever dreamed of enter
ing.
AS the men spent more and more
time in the coffee houses the wom-
en- became aroused over this new
drink. They claimed it was "un-
social" and "uncivil."
Then came an innovation. The
lonely women found they could make
coffee at home and since that day
women have striven to make coffee
that will satisfy mems idea of what
coffee should be. The clever hostess
knows that good coffee expresses the
warmeSt, friendliest kind Of hos
pitality.
Women have learned many things
about coffee making In the last $50
years. For one thing, they have
found that in order to produce a de-
licious cup Of coffee they must use
freshly roasted coffee, for the coffee
bean begins to lose its strength and
part of its flavor from the time it
leaves the rooster. They have
learned also that boiled coffee does
not retain its true flavor and aroma,
but that the drip method produces
delightfully."- aromatic, f1ne-f1avored
coffee, as clear as the purest amber.
Der.
For these reasons Hoosier Club
coffee fast is gaining in favor. 1t
is roasted fresh daily in Indianapo-
lis for indianapolis customers and
can be obtained from any indie
pendent grocer.
The HoOSier company also has
made it possible for thousands to
obtain the latest innovation in cof-
fee-making, the Drip-o-lator. With
the aid of a Drip-o-lator, any one
can make the finest French drip
coffee. Any independent grocer is
able to furnish information about
Hoosier Club coffee and the pre-
MUM offer on the Drip-o-lator.
