Before the craze started. it was al
most impossible to get enough men to
play a rubber. Now there are not

get a place at the coveted table the
bridge enthusiasts bolt their dinners.
The sudden popularity OF bridge ex-

The bridge fad has developed new
class of undesirab1es-poor players
who make inexcusabIe blunders. The
gridiron heroes find that remembering
just what trumps have been played is
a much harder task than memorizing
few sets of signals.
There are a few OF the more con-
servative group who still remain faith
full to baseball. They regard the new
fad with extreme distrust, refusing to
be cajoled into learning the game.
Meanwhile the card players are tri-
umphant, and the baseball parapherna-
liza lies covered with cobwebs in the
dark corners Of deserted closets.

The Old
Swimming Hole
" ~ "

THE time will come when We shall
regard a swimming pool as
necessary an adjunct to a com
munity as we now regard bank or a
library. AS an institution for rounding
out the physical health OF the young
and for the conservation of juvenile
morals it possesses very large posi-
bilites.
The outdoor. swimming pool Is the
best, that which approximates natures
arrangements rather than the refined
indoor affair. Swimming at its best IS
a plunge into child life and IL sur
rounded by natural scenery it IS far
more likely to satisfy the demands OF
the juvenile nature
In general there are three ideas TO
consider in the management OF the
swimming place, whether it be ~out
along the creek" or in modern gym
nasium. These are safeguarding against
infection and i'll health. and the safe
guarding OF the morals.
AS matter OF fact there Is little
danger of injection from the water of
the outdoor pool, which is part of the
time in the sunlight The swimmers
constantly stir and aerate the water.
A chemical test Of a big stagnant pool
where 200 had been swimming daily
for month showed no bad effects
Even muddy poo! in the creek is
better than none. Children will enjoy
even this and may derive much good
from its use. The idea OF dog days"

swimming has very little fact to sup
port it, if other things are well man
aged. Not merely swimming and wad-

resistance of the child He is now
more easily chilled and may come out
of the water without having the proper
skin reactions. Brief, vigorous swim

possible i'll effects of swimming in "dog
days"
In time the swimming pool will come I

The Contour Map and What 1t Shows
y " "

The map maker gets his lines. not
by cutting the mountain, but by using;
a level. with which he locates all the
points along the line on which he is
working and by putting these points on
the map the line is made. Then he
goes to the line next in elevation
When the lines are all on the map any
one who knows what they are for can
tell at a glance the elevation of any
point at which he looks. The vertical
distances between the lines vary ac-
cording to the sort OF map that is de-
sired. Sometimes thiE distance is as
little as three feet. and the resulting
map is very full of detail in showing
the slightest changes in elevation.

He Shows His Horse Sense
~ ~ "

And IL "the man behind the gun" is
OF equal importance with the gun, GER
tainly the men behind the police horses
are of no less Importance, and to these
men-the mounted traffic offcers-be-
longs the credit for much that the
horses are and much that they do.
Where They Come From.
These horses are supplied to the
cities by contractors, whose business
it is to furnish them wherever they
are needed. The contractors buy the
horses in all parts of the country.
Some are saddle horses that have been
family pets. Others come direct from
the farms where they were born and
where they roamed the fields and pas
lures, never having known either
saddle, bit or any other kind Of har-
ness. When the traffic squad needs a
new horse the contractor is notified
and he gets and sends to the city sta
bles horse which must meet the gen
eral specifications called for in his
contract
A police horse must not be under Is
hands high, must weigh from 900 to
1000 pounds. be S years old, etc. For
80 days the horse remains at the city
stables, during which time he becomes
acclimated. At,the end of that period
he is given thorough examination
and if he measures up to all the speci-
hcations the city accepts him.
Too Much Sugar.
The greatest danger for the horse
whether he be old or new, is being
.overfed.
"It wouldn't do any HARM said
lieutenant, "if one or two people gave
a lump of sugar a day to one of the
horses; the trouble is that SO many
people do the same thingt Horseslare
very fond OF sweets and get so they
take everything that is, offered to them.
The result is that often when the
horses get, back here to the stables we
have to doctor them
Every police horse gets his full ra-
tons of nine quarts of oats day, be-
ing fed just before he leaves head
quarters and again when he returns.
No, one need have any fear about the
welfare of the police horses. Every
man in this branch of the service, from
the lieutenant down to the newest
hostler, not only knows horses. but
likes them. And when one of these
horses comes to the end of his days of
active service he is sent up to the city
farms and there spends his Lass years
in light and useful service.

$Will worm his way up or down the
street, through the most congested
traffic jam.
JET has one little trick, however,
that is amusing. He knows from ex-
y perience that when his rider is on his
back and the fire engines come, it is
their combined job to gallop down
the street, opening up lane through
the traffic and shutting OF other traf-
x fc from the cross streets. So, natural

mounted and is doing some emergency
work afoot and the fire engines come
racing down the street. it is his, Jed's
job to go ahead and clear the way
himself.
And one afternoon not long ago
man was taken sick and the traffic Of
fcer who rides JEFF had taken the sick
man into nearby drug store. Just
then the fire engine came. Jeff's rider
hurried out of the store as quickly as
possible, but JEFF was gone! a man
told the officer that the horse had gone
down the street with the fire engines.
So the officer went promptly to the po-
lice call box, learned from the Elec-
trical Bureau where that fire was,
jumped on trolley car himself. and
4 in a few minutes was at the scene OF
the fire. Sure enough, there was JEFF!
Another horse frequently hunts up
