4 hard time to get the names right,
snd put them in the proper order of
size.
We might be tempted to start with
Australia. but that great mass of
land can hardly be counted as an
island Almost always nowadays it
Is classed as continent.
That leaves Greenland as the
largest island. Next comes New
Guinea, then Borneo and Baffin
Land.
In fifth place is Madagascar
Sixth is Sumatra, seventh is Great
Britain, and eighth is Hondo, the
main island of the japanese En-
pire. Ninth in size is Celebes. and
tenth is South Island. the larger of
the two main islands which form
New Zealand.
That list is for number of square
miles. If we ranked the islands by
population, the order would be diff
ferent.
Today and tomorrow I wish to

The Hovas are looked upon as

OF Madagascar Their ancestors
came from Asia at some early date
which is not known.
The name Hova means Free
Man" The Hovas are leaders on
the island They have mixed only
very little with the skinned
natives.
The Antanosi tribes also had
ancestors from Asia. but they have
mixed to a larger extent with peo-
pie of black skinned race, 1t is
believed they are related to the
blackfellows of Australia.
Perhaps the strangest people Of
Madagascar are the so-called
"dwarfs" They live amid forests
near the tops of mountains. Their
skins are dark but not black. The
men among them are the size Of

were few, South Immediately led a

and South won with the spade
queen.
1t was a little too dangerous to
finesse diamonds again before draw
ing trumpS. so South next led the
Jack of spades. East took the trump
ace and returned a heart, forcing
out dlmmv'S ace. And at this
point South foreSaW that he would
have a terrific guess later on unless
he took preventive measures.
From the fall of the hearts West
apparently had only three-card
holding in the suit; and he had
started with only two trumps. Hence
West was likely to be long in both
minors. If West had started with
four or more diamonds, dummy S
fourth diamond could not be set up
for the vital club discard. But If
South blanked dummy's top clubs.
the other hope-the establishment
of the club jack-might actually
come about without South's being
sure about it.
To remove this guess, declarer
cashed dummy's top clubs then and
there-the Vienna coup Of setting
up an adverse winner so as to
squeeze the holder more effectively
later on. Then he ruffed the third
heart and led his last trump. West
then found it impossible to hold
the club queen and all his diamonds,

upon South cashed the club Jack
and made his slam with another
diamond finesse.
