'teded to pave the streets of Bat . r. with asphalt?and to glorifv their.-< .ves in no uncertain language for doing. Undoubtedly their ' pr. : was justified. Across the; W' however, in still earlier day-, ir. '. r.t- far off continent of then unkr.-wr. South America, the Incas of B<r . .aid out and constructed a magnificent system of asphaltiv highways far surpa-sing the heralded Babylonian street work. ? < '.tur.es later, in 1712, the asphalt bed- of Switzerland, Val tic i Tramers. were discovered and utili- i zed by Kirinies, a Greek physician, who recommended it as a protective from water and the elements. Kir- i .nies was aware of its use by the j Babylonians a..d F.gyptians of ear;.er times, and r.e employed the sub1 tai.oe for l.r.ing ci-terr.s and wall:.' | for cementir-g material, and for : j fio ring.

Ten >.ars later, in 1M20. the utilization of a-phalt for pavmg purposes had n unted to a yearly consumption of 73,000.000 square yards. The next five years saw this figure almost double, when in the year 1925 the industry of road builders applied 13S.000.000 square yards of asphalt sheet, asphaltic concrete, and asphalt macadam in r ?ad construction. Mounting to 1-IO.doooOO square yards in 1920, this total bid fair to reach the 150 million mark in 1927. thus has asphalt beer: a boon to n mkind from the early date of its a plicati'T by the ancient Babymans. and the older Incas down the proc;.? day in which highwa. 1 '.cage coi.-tructed annually i. the I rated State- is nvasured in thou-and and yardage in millions. i Totally blind since she was less than a year old, 13-year-old Mary Grabowsky, second daughter of a pen- 1 niless coal miner of Coal Center, Pa., 1 walked out of the Washington hospi- I tal a few days ago, scarcely able to 1 conceal her delight and asking officers A to hurry her home that she might f see her mother for the first time.
