Local Team Two Games The baseball fans in this district are in for a rare treat on .the 24th of May when the "Harlem Aces", ;L' Lon- don City League Champions, will play the local nine two games of ball. Both games will be played in the afternoon. The first game will be at 2 o'clock adn the second game at 4. The Harlem Aces are made up of a snappy lot of colored boys who not only know their baseball, but put plenty of life and pep into the game. It was with difficulty that the local club arranged for this team to play in Wingham as they had many places that wanted their services on that day and the officials here had to bid high to get these games arrangedfor the :24th, and the park should be crowded when the teams line up at 2 o'clock, The admission price is most reas- onable: adluts 35c, children 15c, .for' both games, and . cars are admitted free.

Accidents •, About the only way to find out whether highway illuniiiia.tion will prevent accidents or not is to put a system of lights in operation on a dangerous strip of road and make a test. This is just what Ontario high- way officials propose to do, and for the purpose have chosen a section of King's Highway between Grimsby and the Stoney Creek -Hamilton forks, de- scribed as the most dangerous stretch of highway in the province. If the ex- periment results in decreasing the toll of accidents on this thickly -trav- elled read, the advocates of highway lighting will have a strong case for extension of the idea. No Sand in Sandpaper Familiar as sandpaper is to every- body yet there are very few persons, indeed, who know that this universal- ly used product has no sand in it. Sand cannot be used for making sandpaper because it is not efficient for that pur- pose, due to the fact that most sand is waterworn and the particles are therefore more. or less rounded and have no sharp cutting edge. The fine abrasive particles on sandpaper are specially crushed flint or garnet or are products of the electric fitrriace, aluminum oxide or silicon carbide. The abrasive particles used in the manufacture of sandpaper, with a few exceptions,, are not true crystals, nor arc they alike. The particles, though carefully graded, vary in size and shape and have many edges and points, some of which are , much sharper than others. Best results are obtained from grits approximately twice as long as .they are wide. A couple l e oforl• p workmen were excavat- ing for a proposed building when an interested ted spectator ingtti•ed..• "T dew is i'tI'at; although you and Mike started together, he has a bigger pile .of dirt than you?"
