CURLING STONES

Probably not one person i'm n hum

know anything of the birthplace of the
most famous curling stones, Ailsa
Craig, or "Paddy's Milestone" the con-
spicuous island rock in the Firth of
clyde.
This rock lies IL miles west of Cir
van, and To that town thousands of
pairs of blocks" are shipped every
year To be dispatched to the various
curling stone manufacturers through
out the land. The Ailsa Craig rock
stands alone; there is practically moth
ing else IN the world quite like it,
There are i'm the small compass of the
island three varieties lying besides one
another-the common Ailsa, the red
hone Ailsa, and the blue hone Ailsa.
The first is found all around the island,
while the red and the blue homes.
which are considered finer, are quar-
ried at a greater altitude. although
often found close to the other. These
are the stones most in favor with
curriers'.
Before they finally are licked into
shape the stones have individually to
undergo more rough usage than prob
ably any other implement used i'm
sport. The blocks as they come from
the craig are roughly cheese shaped
and weigh about 75 pounds each. They
first are matched and put into pairs
as near i'm pile and color as possible.
after which they are dressed roughly
by hand to the size required with
chisel shaped hammers, a long and
tedious process. The hole through the
center is also done by hand, and the
blocks then are ready for the burning

the stone shows up.
The stones now are ready TO under
go the most particular part of the
work. Unless the soles are exactly
similar a pair of stones will not run
alike on the ice and the bottoms all
are made to suit the various wants of
the curriers'. The Canadians, for in
stance, require cup" bottom TO
make the stone "durer"-to retard
them on the keen ice and enable
them to play "the twist" more effect
lively, the twist being one of the strong
points of the game. Stones are all
made reversible, one sole being keener
than the other, so that they may be
turned to suit the condition Of the ice.
For use in Scotland they generally
are made keener, or to suit localities
where there is seldom hard frost. and
the surface of the ice is frequently soft
and sloppy.
Rotary Machine Gives Polish.
The polishing is effected in rotary
machine, where the stones are sub
jected to rubbing up with different
kinds of fine stone and latterly the
hone. The friction at the high speed
at which the stone rotates raises the
temperature. and only when this is
sufficiently high is it possible to put
on the finishing gloss with a pad. put
ty powder and water. Two lines are
then drawn round the stone about two
inches apart and the space between
"ridged" with fine hammer and left
rough. This is called the "beltine"
or striking band" where the stones
strike one another on the ice. The
stones have now a fine appearance.
with the band finish and bright polish
they have only to be fitted with han
dies, screwed to a bolt with n Hanged
end passing through them, but by the
rules they must not exceed a. pounds,
nor measure i'm circumference more
than SO inches.

SUPPORT THE Fairgrounds.

THE JOURNAL the other day printed an in
i teresting letter from Mr. George b. Miller,
Treasurer Of the Fairgrounds Association Mr.
Miller is a gentleman who has taken so keen and
intelligent and unsel6sh an interest IN all public
welfare movements that anything he writes on
such topics is worthy Of serious attention and
thought
The Playground Association needs financial and
moral support particularly financial support, we
imagine because we believe that no man would
refuse to give so splendid work his moral sup
port More interest could be and ought TO be
aroused in the movement. Not only in Wilmington
but in other cities is much consideration being de
voted 10 Fairgrounds The need Of them is so
obvious that no argument is necessary.
Mr. Miller. with regret. calls attention 10 one
important fact He says that about twenty boys
under tho age Of seventeen years have been hailed
before the Juvenile Court This figure largely
exceeds the estimate Of the advocates Of the lu-
venie Court when that measure was before the
Legislature There is little doubt that If the play
ground system should be extended, the cases Of
juvenile delinquency would be greatly decreased.
AS Mr.. Miller says, the problem Of caring for
the rising generation is economic as we'll as hui
manitarian. Boys who develop into loafers or
"no-accounts" are a loss TO the community in that
they are not doing their share Of the labor of the
community but are living off others. The call Of
the Fairgrounds Association for funds is a rea-
sonable call and it should be needed Even small
contributions would be thankfully received.
The masses Of the people should contribute to
the support OF such movements as the Fairgrounds.
The burden should not be carried by a few. In
fact we fear it is the custom for the financial bur
den of almost all phiianthropic movements to be
borne by few The circle of contributors should
be widely extended.

Chesterton defines a yawn as a silent

Editorial Opinion


New York World.
There is sound sense in Herbert l..
Towle's suggestion Of summer dress
reform for men. He urges tho
recognition of the shirt-waist as a
suitable garment for luncheon or din
ner and for public places He de-
the wooden uniforms of po-
licemen and postmen.
In hot weather the woollen coat is
an abomination. II Is the chief infiic-
lions OF the city summer man. swath-
ed in its folds man suffers and swelt-
ers. He is pitiable victim of foolish
custom. Discomfort makes him ir-
ritable and as fit for quarrel or
collapse as he is unit for companion
ship.
The neat, clean negligee shirt is
cool, comfortable and attractive With
light trousers and belt the shirt-waist
man is more completely clothed than
the woman with an open-neck gown
or a peekaboo waist. He is more
becomingly dressed than a man in a
coat. II he is IN athlete or has a
good figure he appears at his very
best
The general adoption of a mans
shirt-waist and it's admission to
restaurants and public places would
contribute to the health of city men,
Clothing that increases the effect o.
heat is pnwholesome. Comfort in
duces the serene mind, and the serene
mind is the condition of efficiency.
For policemen, postmen, messeng-
ers, bellboys, porters, the tight-Gttiug
high-collared, buttoned woollen coat
is a barbarity in summer. Postmen
who must walk long distances with
heavy mail-sacks should wear loose
light blouses Policemen should have
summer uniforms of khaki, or, better
still. belted khaki trousers with
blouses and loose soft collars. Both
appearance and service would be bet
tered by light uniforms
