Merry Christmas! !

Merry Christmas!
That Is the greeting I have given
many times to readers of our COL
umn, and it is the greeting I give
today. No matter what changes
may take place in our modern world,
I think this holiday will keep its
place in the hearts of millions OF
people.
In times of war, Christmas makes
us think of peace. We remember
the passage in the Bible which says
that angels sang, at the time Of the
birth of Jesus, Peace on earth,
good will to men,"
Almost every one wants peace, but
those who live in free countries do
not want it "at the price of chains
and slavery" They want a free
world, kind world. They want a
world where people can grow into
the best they can become.
Our ancestors in Europe. hundreds
of years ago, struggled against
slavery and serfdom. Slowly. step
by step, they won certain rights of
freedom, and we still have those
rights today.
If peace can be brought about
with a greater and happier freedom
for all, the people of the world will
be filled with joy. We shall feel
that We are saved from the destruc-

West opened the deuce of hearts,
dummy winning with the ace After
drawing three rounds of trumps,
South led the jack of hearts. East
took his king and returned heart
for lack of anything more promising
South discarded two diamonds, re-
turned to his hand via the diamond
1 ace, and led the queen of clubs.
When this was finessed, East won
his blank king; but South won the
rest, making his contract with two
overtricks.
The evidence is all in, and you
should be aware of the heinous
crime that was committed. See if
you can spot the crime and the
criminal before you read on.
South was the criminal, and his
crime occurred during the bidding!
He should have passed East's hor-
rible vulnerable bid of three hearts
to North: and North would have
doubled with great gusto. Correct
defense would then have held East
to three tricks, for a penalty of
1,700 points!
South attempted to justify his
criminal bid of three spades by point
ing out that he had a good rebid-
dable spade suit and that the bid
was enough for game. Further
more, he added, North might be
stuck" for a bid if unable to double
three hearts. North justly replied
: that he couldn't have hand which
was worth two no-trump but not
or some rebid. The fact that
South's bid was enough for game
was absolutely irrelevant. The pen
' atty double was worth four times as
much as the game!

Pool 'City's
CLeanest'

About this time each year we
view the parade Of champions Of
the past year" but never before
has such an honor been bestowed
on any swimming pool almost ex-
c,usiyely patronized by our race as
was bestowed by the Detroit De-
partment of Health in naming
Brewster Recreation swimming pool
the "healthiest, most sanitary and
c4eahest swimming peeI-in- ana
around Metropolitan Detroitr'
The engineers, bath attendants,
cleaners, and instructors all have
contributed their share and are now
enjoying the fruits Of their labors
basking in the Light of their hon
ored citation. The public can well
be proud, also, having a pool 50
rated at their disposal at all times.
We have heard remarks, at times,
that certain PERSONS did not feel
inclined TO swim at Brewster be-
cause they imagined 1t unsanitary.
We have seen these same persons
go TO other pools rated far down
the scale OF sanitation. The Depart
ment of Health rating chart will
doubtless cause some new thought
ana conceptions to enter tie minds
Of this group.
Brewster pool had an attendance
of 1882 swimmers during 1889 and
not one month did it miss 100 per
cent sanitary rating
