Helen Stephens, who just few weeks
before had been standing on the

winner at Berlin. She was the fastest
woman runner over the l00-meter dis

calm as a cucumber. telling her story
of that Berlin scamper.

their romance began on blind date.

ONE Of the best radio voices be-
longs to an athlete who chirps
through the size IA collar Of Bucky
Harris, fighting manager of the Wash

perfect, and he is one OF those sports
celebrities who could easily cop of a
broadcasting job. What liked about
my interview with Bucky was the de-
liberate manner in which he answered
my questions. You know when l in
terview some one usually find my
self reading his character by studying
his mannerisms before the mike.
Bucky's attitude and reaction in the
studio stamped him, In my mind, as
a fellow who really knows what he's
talking about, and has plenty OF stun
up there underneath that wavy hair.
recall the evening that the great
est ball player of all time, the massive
Bambino. Babe Ruth, strobe into the
studio. OF course, was so tickled
that could hardly talk when 1t came
time to 60 on the air, and there
wasn't a happier guy in the world
when the Babe gave me his autograph
after the broadcast. At that time, he
was in the twilight of his career.
Sports writer's and columnists were
all specializing on just when the
Babe was going to come right OUT
and say he was through. OF course,
he was making no public statements
as to Just when that day would come,
for obvious reasons But he gave
me an inkling after the broadcast was
over and he started to hoist that
massive frame of his to his feet. He
groaned under his breath as he fexed

mistakable tone OF disgust and, more
than that, of total resignation in his
voice. Soon after that, he went to

His wife was so excited at her hus-

HIRTY FOUR YEAR OLD
HENRY CABOT LODGE, Jr.,

" HIRTY FOUR YEAR OLD
HENRY CABOT LODGE, Jr.,
i Massachusetts, Republican neo-
phyte In a Democratic Senate,
has double responsibility during the
next six years-to keep faith with his
own published views on public prob
lens and the qualifications of men and
women for public office and to preserve
the political prestige of the aristocratic
tradition established by his distin-
guished grandfather.
In book and in newspaper, as a
Lodge has placed his writing on the
wall and now the author will be
weighed by his own words.
Discussing the need for trained men
in public life in his book THE Cult of
Weakness" published in 1882, Lodge
said "able professionals" were, clearly.
what the situation demanded. He ex-
pressed the opinion that no branch Of
private activity or of sppointive office
can give man the training for public
life afforded by politics.
Lodge. who served for five years in
Washington as political news corre-
spondent for the New York Herald
Tribune. made the further observation
that political journalism, which un-
dertakes to know the public temper"
Is perhaps the closest approximation
to politics. 1t is scarcely possible that
at the time of making that statement
the new Senator from Massachusetts,
could have foreseen that his own
journalistic ability might number him
among the "able professionals" whose
talents would one day be exercised in
the Senate chamber.
At the time of this writing Lodge
deplored the presence Of "midgets in
the seats Of the mighty" and the gen.

our orders 50 that no one can leave
anything standing on them"
THE same scrupulous attention TO
sanitation was evident in wash
rooms and dressing rooms. Plugs have
been removed from all the wash basins
to prevent employees from drawing
water. They must stick their hands
under small sprays, many controlled
by foot pedals. A special type OF
soap-Government approved-is used.
The chief inspector took me to the
box-washing room, where every box
or barrel in which meat was to be
packed was scrubbed with soda, rinsed
under hot water and sterilized with
steam. The boxes actually smelled
clean.
In another roam three young women
were washing hog intestines to be used
as sausage castings. They washed
them with as much care as If they
were baby clothes. The lay inspector
said it was one Of his duties to see
to it that every inch Of casing was
handled in this way. The women wore
aprons of yellow "slicker" material.
The castings were slipped over faucet
and filled with water. They looked
like transparent white snakes. The
water was squeezed out and the cas-
ings were thrown in tub.
We went into q chilly room where
sausage meat was heaped in metal
trsys. 1t had been ground to the
consistency of mud. The pork
sausage meat looked like strawberry
ice cream. Completed sausages, like
rows of fat white fingers. hung on
racks, waiting to be smoked. The
inspector said he saw to it that each
batch of sausage was seasoned ac-

NERHAPS you've seen on side of
- beef, on ham or other cut of
meat, in the market where you
shop, a small linked circle in
closing this wording: "U. s. Inspected
and Passed by Department of Agri-
culture" II you have box Of link
sausage in your ice box you probably
will find that the same legend is
printed on the carton.
Even if you have seen this stamped
label it may never have interested you
much to know what's behind 1t. had
faint curiosity, however. and went
over to Baltimore to see how it's done
this meat inspection business. After
watching the Federal inspectors at
work. seeing their careful scrutiny of
every procedure in the processing Of
meat, I knew the importance Of that
stamp as a symbol of health protec-
tion.
Not all meat is Federally inspected.
Not by long sight. But most Of 1t Is,
thank goodness and our Uncle Sam.
The law requires that all establish
ments doing an interstate meat busi-
ness have Federal inspection. Small
local concerns can do without. The
plant I visited, however, was big one,
and a great deal Of the meat we eat in
Washington comes from it.
THE Government officer who took
= me through the plant-he was q
doctor of veterinary science-pointed
to a group OF workers in white frocks.
The men wore visored white caps,
while on the heads of women were
starched white bands. He said the
Government required them to change
these outer garments at least twice 4
week.
Furthermore" he explained. "our
inspectors are always on the lookout
for any sign Of illness among the en-
ployes. If the notice any, they report
it to the management, which assigns
the affected employees to duties that
won't bring them in contact with any
of the meat"
was introduced to one OF the in
spectors. He looked like factory
worker, had on the same. white frock
and visored cap. Pinned half inside
his breast pocket, however. was q
nickel-plated badge identifying him
as "U s. Oficer. Bureau of Animal
Industry"
Hes q lay inspector" said my
guide. "The veterinary inspectors
have badges like mine"
He showed me his symbol OF ~

eral worship of expediency that die
tated too often the way in which q
Senator cast his vote.
1t is unlikely that mans view
points. gained in mature experience,
will change fundamentally over the
short space of five years. Thus, while
Senator Lodge has given no expression
since coming to Washington of what
policies he may or may not pursue, a
very good idea of the trend of his mind
on public questions may be gained from
a review of those expressions to which
he gave utterance while still a Journal
ist.
AS a matter of fact, the MaSsachu--
sets Senator drew attention to the
fact that a politician must not only
know the people, but periodically must
bare his soul to them; that he must,
in short, do what no man enjoys do
ing-commit himself in public.
While still a journalist Lodge could
Commit himself in public" with i'm
munity from comment or criticism.
Again, it Is he who points out that If
the reader does not like what po-
litical writer has to say, he may pass
on to the "funnies" and there need be
no hard feelings.
A S o member OF the United States
Senate, Lodge will become in
creasingly aware of something he
knows already-that when a Senator
speaks the newspaper public gives his
statement no such fleeting attention.
Every word from this point on reveals
a political philosophy or is regarded as
an indication of which, way he may be
expected to vote for the electorate OF
his State and the Nation

At Boulevard
Farms
By FRANCOIS

Sally Evans, Washington girl
with a talented voice, is back in
town again to weave her magic
vocal charms on Pail Mall Room
patrons. The glamorous Evans
girl was first introduced here by
Eddie Elkins who will again intro
duce her with his Raleigh or
chestra.
Sallys capabilities are best ap-
preciated during the afternoon
cocktail hour and in the evenings
from 9 to 10 o'clock when she pro-
vides a pleasant musical inter-
lude.
Boulevard Farms, famous for
its southern cooking, invites your
patronage and assures a fine eve
ming Of dancing to the music OF
Phil Loria's orchestral tunes. The
Farms caters to private parties
and provides musical entertain
ment every night in the week eX'
cept Sunday.
One of the severest tests put to
night club entertainers is the
dead moment" interlude when
the band stops playing, the floor
show is not on, and when there is
a general lull in the proceedings.
For this is the time when the in
dividual artists pass among the
tables singing quietly or playing
their instruments for the especial
benefit of clustered groups OF
guests.
At the Russian Club Troika,
the dead moments really live
and sparkle with all the brilliance
of a scheduled show performance.
The reason, of course, is the ability
of MiScha Markoff, Captain Nick
Hope, Marusia Sava, NiColina
Zinaida, and the others to fill the
rest" moments with delightful
personal appearance" at the
horseshoe fringe of tables in the
Troika supper room.

SO many laughs these nights at

Their act, based almost en-
