1t is a great satisfaction and
pleasure to this cOlumnist to re-
alize that, with the coming of this
Christmas Day, our paper will
reach its many readers and find
them at this happy time, in rest
and cOntentment, enjoying the
pleasing OdOrs of the turkey, duck
or goose roasting in the oven; en-
virOned with the spirit, so manifest
of the day, radiating the thoughts
of peace on earth and good will to-
ward men.
Gone, for this day at least, all
carping criticism, all discomfort,
joining with the world at large in
honoring the birth of the Saviour
and willing for the moment, to
speed the day when this way of
life shall become the way of all
men. =
1t is an interesting experience to
think back through the centuries to
the time when He came to earth;
to an earth filed with bitter strife
and envy, of grave injustice in
high places and ignorance the COM
mon possession of all men. To re-
call how He was reviled and
doubted, His way of life belittled
and shamed, His followers perse-
cuted and dishOnered, His very ex-
istence denied by the historians of
His time and for centuries after
wards His life and influence held
up to scOrn.
Then back to the present to find
after two thousand years the prin-
ciples which He taught and for
which He lived and died firmly
planted in the earth, His way of
life honored and passionately fol-
lowed by millions. The day of His
birth celebrated throughout the
Christian world; a world pagan
still in many places; a world dis
traught and turbulent, with war and
rumors of war disturbing the rela-
tionship of humanity, yet world
which acknowledges with gratitude
the tremendous advances made in
all lands and among all people be-

Service and
Leadership

Both qualities demonstrated in
devotion to the interests of the
Negro, which makes it a commu-
nifty adviser, a civic booster, a big
brother of the neighborhood, who
works increasingly to make this
community of colored citizens a
better place in which to live, who is
constantly on guard to protect the
people against unfair prescriptions
which others seek to visit upon it,
who helps protect its people from
imposition, from fraud, from dan
ger, an ally of the strong and a de-
fender of the weak. &C., ~ p
All. these, the principles upon
which the best type Of newspaper
is founded and operated, we offer
to you as our Christmas gift and
with it goes the heartfelt holiday
greeting from ."--' ..' ~

Health and
Hygiene
Be Careful During
Holidays
By Dr.. W. D. Brown

When the holidays come usually
discretion is thrown to the winds.
This is due probably to the fact
that everyone has had manifold
cares during the year and he
wishes to forget one and all during
this traditional period. We are no
destroyers of mirth but, then, too,
possibly we may do service by
cautioning you lest you stray too
far from the beaten path.
The human body works normally
by habits that you have developed.
Any marked change will naturally
have some effect on it's function. A
healthy body has a wide range and
therefore can. stand more insults
than a weak one.
- The unfortunate thing is that
someone who is not strong gen.
orally tries to follow the example
Of another who is. Eating and
drinking should always be done
with discretion. The stomach is
not a garbage can into which
things may be thrown indiscrimi-
nately. Experience has taught you
the combinations of food that your
stomach will allow. All stomachs
are not alike and yet may be nor
NAL. Suffice it to say that over
loading is bad; likewise the inges-
ton of much rich greasy food is
bad. Water and milk make excel
lent drinks. -. --.s..' ...s
Alcoholic beverages and mixtures
are to be used in moderation if at
ALL By all means don't use radi-
ator anti-freeze solutions for high
balls as was so recently done dis
astrously. -..s-,...
If you are a diabetic, stick to
your proper diet! If you have kid
ney1 trouble; don't take a chance on
uremia by improper food! If you
have heart trouble, overfilling your
stomach is dangerous. Whoever
you are be moderate and temper
ate!

The mellowing influence of the
Christmas season evidences itself
as the world declares none shall
suffer hunger and cold; none shall
go shelterless in the bright re-

So I copy as a fitting greeting to

only his New Year to Christmas:

Turks, Hottentots and Cannibals.

By the Associated Press.
Americans have become 80 ancestor
conscious that they keep a small army
Of highly-specialized professionals busy
here digging up family trees and col
oring coats Of arms.
The Capital seems to be the happy
hunting grounds for family trees be-
cause of two huge reference libraries
on the subject: One at D. A. r. head
quarters, the other in the Library
Of Congress.
Neither library will produce the tree
gratis. but refers inquiries to list Of
genealogists that live in Washington,
who will gladly dig up ancestors for
81 an hour. Once the tree has been
completed, the coat of arms Is easily
identified and 1t can be nicely water
colored for SIS.
The irritating turns that q search
for ancestors can take are legion. For
instance. an Iowa family may trace
back to John Hendricks, who enlisted
from Virginia for the Revolutionary
War. But the records may show there
were two such Johns, one Al years old,
and one II. Which John was It?

In extenuation of South's bidding
We must explain that North was an
ultra-conservative player. Vests
double of the three spades was, OF
course, sound, as was East's take-out
to four hearts, which incidentally,
was a lay-down. Finally. we cannot
blame West at all for doubling the
four spades, since he should have set
it. However, West slipped somewhat
on the defense.
The king of clubs was opened and
the queen continued. East played
the deuce and then the four, while
South dropped the five and then the
Jack. West now shifted 10 the king

in dummy and led the king OF spades,
which West won with the ace. Now
West led another heart. Declarer

of spades and f1neSsed, East showing
out. The eight of spades was next

dummy's ten-spot took the trick. The
queen Of spades now pulled Vests last
trump, declarer discarding the six of
clubs and spreading the hand for
four-odd.
East Immediately brought out the
fact that West could have beaten the
hand by leading the ace of clubs to
the third trick instead of shifting to
a heart. which would have forced
dummy and left West with two sure
trump tricks West stated that he did
not lead the third club since he
thought declarer was also out of clubs
and would have been able to ruff in
one hand and discard from the other
We cannot give West much credit
for his excuse. If declarer had five
diamonds and five spades, there would
be no way of beating the hand in any
