BEHIND the
TICKER

NEW YORK From the very
highest Of French government au-
thorities your correspondent
friendly informants have obtained
inside knowledge that a definite
European political showdown is
due to break within the next 1OC
DAYS.
The iside information obtained
included the assurance that the
war scare of last September was
just a bluff. and that the pending
crisis Is the real Mccoy. II will
either eliminate with an all-Euro-
pean peace conference at which all
problems will be settled once and
for all or an all-Europe war will
get going full blast!
Ready The entire outcome, il
WAS reliably said, rests in the hands
Of Hitler. This because the Geo.
nomic condition of his country Ia
so bad that he must take a very
definite step. Either he will APP
prove of peace parley or he will
actively make use OF his we'll
rounded military machinery.
The French and British military
machines of today are geared for
action. They weren't so In Sep
TENDER OF last year because they
knew that Hitler was bluffing. But
on the pending crisis-say English
and French army and navy heads
full display of force will be per-
tinent.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In long talk with a Govern
ment meat inspector I learned some
facts about the work which he and
his fellow inspectors do. There are
several thousand of them at work
in the United States and Canada,
and they labor long and hard to
guard the public health. There were
IS inspectors at the packing plant
which I mentioned last Monday.
They stay right there and watch
to see that all is done as it should
be.
When a housewife goes into a
meat market she may be able to
tell a little about the meats by
looking at them and perhaps also
by her sense of smell Yet it is pos
slble she will be fooled. Bad meat
may, and sometimes does, look good.
The best guarantee of the meats
is Government stamp which
shows they have been passed by
the inspectors. There is no stamp
on small cuts of meats, but the
housewife can make sure that the
cuts are taken from meat which
has been inspected.
1t is possible for an inspector not
to do his duty and to let poor meats
so on the market. We may say,
however, that when meat is in
spected by the Canadian govern
ment or by the National Gov

though it might be sick, but the
inspector is not sure about it.
Then he marks it with a tag and
gives it special study after it Is
killed.
Even cattle which look quite we'll
alive are given later study. While
the heart and other vital organs
are still in place the inspector can
learn facts which point one way
or another. He cuts into glands.
and the glands give him further
facts. He also looks at the tongue
with care.
Live stock may suffer from many
diseases which make their flesh un-
fit for food. Such diseases include
railroad fever, tetanus and tuber-
culosis. When hogs have cholera
they are not fit for food.

Michael L. Gottlieb MADE the most
Of the amazing freak hand that was
dealt to him. Mr.. Gottlieb opened
with one club, since he does not be-
lieve in pre-empting on hands that
offer strong slam possibilities. His
subsequent jump to small slam and
the redouble were in his usual dar-
ing fashion, and West opened the
heart king.
While this lead would seem safe
enough, it gave Mr.. Gottlieb the
opportunity to execute brilliant
play. He ruffed the opening lead,
then ran off all his remaining
trumps. Now in order to keep his
diamond protection, West had to
blank both his heart ace and spade
king. At this point Mr.. Gottlieb
cashed the spade ace and discarded
the last small diamond from dummy,
retaining the ace-king of diamonds
and queen-jack of hearts. He now
led his only diamond to dummy,
then played the queen of hearts.
West won this trick with the heart
ace, but that was all he made. since
the king of diamonds and ace of
hearts took the last two tricks.
