UNCLE RAYS CORNER

If 1t is In any way possible to "see
into" the mind of an animal it is
a hard thing to do. Even when we
think we have guessed what is 60
ing on in it's brain there is some
doubt that we are right.
1t would be most interesting If
We could know what the Antarctic
birds called "penguins" think about
when they see people for the first
time. To give an idea of how they
behave in such a case I am going to
tell of one case in which they
looked on visitors who may have
been the first people they had ever
seen.
1t happened in the wastes around
Discovery Inlet. at the edge of the
Antarctic continent A party OF
men from a whaling ship had
landed and they were greeted by
half a dozen emperor penguins.
Emperor penguihs are the largest
members of the penguin family
They stand straight up and have
been compared to little men carry
ing umbrellas" They are about 81
feet tall.
The only umbrellas" penguins
have are their dark-colored wings
These wings are of no use in flying
since these birds cannot fly.

West opened the king of dia-
monds. South winning with the ace.
South ruffed the low diamond with
dummy's spade king, returned to
his hand by overtaking the spade
10, and ruffed the diamond jack
with dummy's ace of trumps. Next
he laid down the heart ace and
continued with the heart queen.
East ducked and West ruffed.
West then returned a club, and
South lost the finesse and the slam
together.
Some one committed a bridge
crime. See If you can tell what
It was and who did it before you
read any more.
South was the criminal, and his
crime was in ruffing his diamonds!
There was no need to ruff them
when they could so easily be dis
carded on established hearts; and,
particularly. there was no hurry
about ruffing them After winning
the first trick with the ace of
diamonds, correct play is to draw
two rounds Of trumps. Then the
heart finesse is taken. Even though
1t loses, South can still discard a
club and diamond on dummy's
heart honors; and the last diamond
can be ruffed in dummy at South's
leisure.
When dummy has a long suit
and short suit, good player
4 will almost always go after the
. long suit first, using the ruffs more
or less incidentally.

2 per cent to IS per cent. This is actually lower than government bonds.
 NO INDICATION
 OF BIG RISE
 The whole subject of taxes and the uncertainty of war hangs a good deal over this security in vestment field. Taxes on corpora tions have become pretty serious. For instance a large group of corpo- rations studied by the National City Bank shows an average of all sorts of taxes-income, property, etc.-of 53.3 per cent of net income. This means that over half of every dol lar of net income goes for taxes of one kind or another.
 Financial authorities seem to feel that the low interest rates are a ser ious hindrance to business and that nothing should be done to depress them further.
 The question arises, then, will in- terest rates, as war orders multiply and business moves up, tend to in crease?
 This is quention being asked by. innumerable persons other than business men, particularly in the real estate field.
 Of course an increased demand for money should send rates up. But the pools of unused money are so immenes and the rates so low that there does not seem to be very much prospect for rates to rise to a point where the rise would become ser ious or where it would affect real estate rates.
 NEXT: The labor government

| Some 284 corporations getting war business have enjoyed a profits record far above last year. This lis after taxes are deducted. For instance, they show a gain of 49 per cent in the third quarter over the same period last year. They show gain of 79 per cent over last year, in the nine months up to Sept. 30.
 SOME SHOW
 ACTUAL LOSS
 On the other hand in the second group - some 256 corporations = while a few show large profits, like 1 the petroleum industry, number, like baking, food products, bever- ages, drugs, wholesale and retail trade show actual losses both for the third quarter and the year as a whole up to Oct. l.
 This, however, is because the benefits of the war business that went first into the direct war in- dustrieS have not yet percolated into the others. But there is a reasonable expectation that if the business does keep up this perco- lation will take place.
 The plight of the investor is far from happy one stated in terms of the return he can get on his money.
 The average yield on the very highest grade corporate bonds is only 2.6 percent. On long-term treasury bonds it is about 19 per- cent and on shorI-term Treasury notes about .25 per cent.

AIlQ the fIelCn, as Europe ; uOIlll- nant power, is seeking to organize a new order" for Europe and Africa,
 But Britain, confronted by this great continental lineup and iso- lated by Germany's powerful air force, still stands. The big queS- tion at the beginning of 1941 is how and when will Adolf Hitler be able to smash his final adversary. In the military sphere, three events stand out above all the others in 1940.
 1.-The German invasion and conquest of Denmark and Norway.
 2-The German invasion and conquest of Belgium, the Nether- lands, Luxembourg and the over whelming defeat of France.
 3-Launching of Germanys aer- ial blitzkrieg against Britain.
 Axis Partner Stumbles
 The worst setback was the re- verse suffered by Italy, Germany's axis partner, in the western deserts of Africa against British forces and in Albania against Greece.
 At dawn on April 9, German troops swcoped down and seized Denmark without resistance. Si- simultaneously German warShipS with transport planes. defying British naval power, landed troops at Oslo, Stavanger, Trondhiem and Narvik and Norway.
 Two British naval attacks on Narvik smashed the whole force of 10 German destroyers, but failed to dislodge German troops Ten days after the German invasion, British troops landed hastily on the Norwegian west coast and clashed with German forces ad- vanoing northward through cen- tral Norway at Lilliehammer.
 The weaker British and Nor wegian forces resisted desperately, but the German forces, aided by bombing planes, thrust inexorably arteries Of the Osterdal and Gud- forward up Norway's great central brandsdal rivers to establish land communications with beleaguered troops at Trondheim.
 Allies Quit Norway
 On May and 2, the Allied ex- peditionary force was evacuated by sea from Andalsnes and Namsos. Three days later the main Norwe- gian army capitulated. On May 8, allied troops in the far north cap tured Narvik, but on June 10, un- der presume of German blows on the western front, they too em- parked and left all of Norway in German hands.
 Germany meanwhile had struck in another direction. At 5 A. M. on May 10, Hitler's western armies pivoting on a 300-mile front from the North Sea to the Saar, hurdled
