true enough, East could regain his
footing by discarding the king OF
hearts, but If he hadn't thought OF
it up to this time it is likely that 1t
would not have occurred to him at
this moment, run the remaining
spade, completely stripping both
hands of black cards. He would
then play a heart and burden East
with the lead. On East's compul-
sorry lead of a black card declarer
would dispose of a losing heart as
he ruffed in dummy.
But Mr.. Elliot on the first leao
of hearts followed suit with the
king of hearts and thus extricateo
himself from any possible end play
BY this play he stool IN lose a trick

Jungle hunters are often con-
fronted with the giant nzaro o.
south America. These requires
reach a length of 4 feet. Iney
have amazing speed and hunt Win
ruthless zeal, especially if they DIS
cover a chicken yard near the jungle
Eggs are first on the market list
and nestlings second. The hunters
clean up to the last egg or bird.
The tree frogs, hidden IN the
epiphytic plants, hide as deep IN
the grooves of the leaves as pos
sible. but the lizard shifts them out'
occasionally a frog has been seen
leaping out in time. Most OF the
frogs lose.
Not satisfied with day and night
hunting, the lizard takes short maps
and. refreshed, goes alone on a ralo-
ing party. The jungles are teem-
ing with the food he Graves and tne
lizard fares well.
The natives are fond of his flesh,
claiming it is tender and Wen ma
yored. The yellow-banded lizard OF
Tegu CLEANS in the scanty hight OF
the Jungle so that those huntlng
him can discover the mottled coat
with the dull yellow cross bands.
One of these lizards relatives was
a. special guest at the New York
Zooloeical Park for five years. He
uas known far and wide for his
ability to clean up bowl OF beaten
eggs and meat scraps. Once the
hamburg omelette was disposed o.
the dish cleaning received attention
with the swift tongue flashing too
fast to count strokes.
When overfed. the lizard becomes
lazy, sluggish and choosy. When
hungry, he will chase you with de-
termined zeal-not very happy
experience for tenderfoot in the
jungle.
In the parts where natives hunt
for them, the lizards become clever
enough to remain in the trees.
They cannot be trapped and must
be shot. Young native boys acquire
great skill in Workmanship in this
way.
In other jungles, some relatives
of the Tegu are found. They are
notified in black or white with some
dull yellow-the shade that blends
perfectly with the habitat.
