Kenya, northern neighbor of Tanganyika, Tan-ganyika, looks small on the map of vast Africa, but it is actually larger than France. .

Diego-Suarez, which has one of the finest natural harbors in the world, serves as French naval base and chief commercial port of the island. The native tribes (Malagasy) are not related in any wSty to African races, but seem to be derived from Melanesian and Malayo-Polynesian stock. Madagascar's climate varies ac cording to altitude. The coastal lands are hot and unhealthy, but towns on the high plateau have cool air and moderate temperatures. The country in the extreme south is semi-arid and rather like the Amer ican Southwest. British Guiana has a total area larger than England, Scotland, and Wales together. Yet the population is little more than 300,000, or about two people to- a square mile, except in the cities. (In contrast, Germany has 366 people per square mile) Georgetown, the capital, accounts for one-fifth of the entire colony's inhabitants. Gold, Diamonds Abound.

Melville island, which could accommodate ac-commodate some 25,000 Jewish families, is a rough half-moon of land across a narrow channel from Australia's chief northern port of Darwin. Melville island, with an abundant supply of fresh water, was chosen as the site of the first colony of northern Australia. The natives are a healthy, sturdy people who live in crude huts made of gum bark. The island is plentifully supplied by a wealth of timber. From this bark are also made canoes, baskets, and various objects for housekeeping and ceremonial use. It even serves as a temporary burial mound before be-fore the customary grave posts are set up, and as a patch of modesty in the "fig-leal" costume of native women. To capable fishermen and hunters, hunt-ers, the island offers an abundance of natural food in jungle fruit and game, in turtle eggs, crabs, lizards and the popular dugong, or "sea cow," a huge blubbery creature. Although now uncultivated, the fertile soil of Melville island is well adapted to the growth of such tropical trop-ical products as coconuts, rubber, and cotton. Wild herds of buffalo still roam the watered plains, also suitable for raising domestic stock.

A most significant achievement achieve-ment in the field of modern costume design is the use of suede in a fabric fab-ric way. Time was when imagination imagina-tion carried only as far as novelty hats and bags, gloves and belts, and perhaps a few added accessories. acces-sories. These small beginnings of suede are past history now. Today designers de-signers are working with it as easily and creatively as if it were cloth or any other materiaL A dress, a coat, a jacket or blouse, in fact an ensemble en-semble entire of this supple, ca-ressing-to-the-touch and superbly colorful medium is no longer a novelty nov-elty but a grand and glorious fact. Up to this season a dress of suede or a coat was more or less a luxury. lux-ury. It's going to be different this year, for in anticipation of a widespread wide-spread vogue, leading shops and stores are featuring fashions that dress you in suede from tip to toe. And are these new suede clothes good looking! Just go to your nearest near-est dealer and ask to see the newest new-est in suedes and you will have the answer. In these advance showings, daytime day-time dresses in delectable colors (suede takes dyes so beautifully) are tailored and dressmakered and style-detailed so artfully, you know then and there as you gaze on them you will never be satisfied until you own something of suede, perhaps per-haps a frock with innumerable little lit-tle pockets and a decorative slide-fastener slide-fastener or a swagger coat that is tailored to perfection or a bolero with the tie-sash that you can wear with any dress.

C Western Newspaper Union. Soft Styling New Trend in Fashion An interesting movement among designers is that of styling the new dresses and likewise coats with ex tra fullness. The dirndl skirt and the very new monastic silhouettes are ways of achieving the extra fullness. However many of the incoming in-coming costumes show a restrained handling of fullness that easily maintains main-tains coveted slenderness. It is not only skirts that are tak ing on artful fullness. Fashion's demand de-mand for soft styling extends to waists and blouses and large full sleeves in both coat and dress. Favor Wool for Teen-Age Frocks New daytime frocks for teen-age after-school occasions often are fashioned of lightweight wool-gray, wool-gray, brown or teal blue. One is a dark jumper frock worn with a gaily flowered challis blouse and another is made of light gray wool brightly smocked at the hipbones in red. Black or dark colored velvet or velveteen vel-veteen dresses trimmed with a pleated neckline frill of striped ribbon rib-bon seem to be favorites for daytime day-time holiday occasions. Waistline Prediction A lower waistline on your spring dresses will be indicated mostly with a ribbon sash tied in a bow. Elegant Blouse An elegant blouse is becoming essential es-sential to the completeness of a wardrobe. "Storm on the ILJELLO EVERYBODY: x x Put on your ott skins, boys and girls, and come aboard. We're off to sea in bad weather with Henry S. Cowden of Chicago, with the lee shore of adventure off to starboard, and a heavy gale blowing us right smack into it. In the spring of 1896, Hank Cowden was second mate on the four-masted bark Stanley of Liverpool, homeward bound from Calcutta, India, with a cargo of jute and cotton for Hamburg, Germany. It was the twenty-sixth of March, and the Stanley had passed through the English channel and the Straits of Dover and was ploughing along through the North Sea. It was the morning watch, and Hank was at the wheel. A heavy mist hung over the sea, and the captain was standing stand-ing at Hank's side gazing anxiously to starboard. To Hank, he said: "We must be near land, mister, even though we can't see it in this fog. Keep a good lookout and see that the lead is used every ten minutes. If any squalls make up in the north, call me at once. I'm going down to breakfast." The captain was gone, and Dank wa, alone at the wheel. A squall did come up but it came up so suddenly that Hauk didn't even have time to warn the captain. It caught the shin under full sail. It tore the royals and topgallants to ribbons and blew the Stanley off its course. With the change In the wind, the fog began to lift. The captain came on deck and ordered Hank aloft to look for land. Starboard Breakers Peril Ship. Hank got as far as the fore cross trees. There he could see over the fog, and he didn't have to go any farther. To the starboard were breakers, and the ship was almost into them! Hank knew then and there that the ship was doomed. A strong wind was blowing them straight Into those breakers and there was no sea room to make a getaway. By this time the wind had risen to a gale and coils of halliards and braces were being washed througJi the ports or over the side. At nine o'clock the ship ran aground with a shock that sounded like the ami " in iulih.iu mwu j ijs mM m m I JMwm K Ilank caught a rope and was hauled aboard. report of a big gun. It threw the men fiat on the deck and seas began breaking over the ship, carrying away two boats, the fo'csle and galley, and everything movable on deck. Water began pouring Into the hold. In an hour, the fore topmast top-mast carried away and fell aft. The Stanley was rapidly breaking to pieces. "We carried a crew of thirty-three," says Hank, "and the captain's wife and two-year-old son were aboard. We had two remaining boats, but there was no use trying to launch them then. No boat could live In that sea. We were grounded off Tex-el Tex-el Island, and we were all hoping that the lighthouse, located there, weuld sight us and send help. But personally, I did not think the ship would hold together long." All day long the seas battered the ship. The water In the bold was making the cotton and jute bales Toward night they tried to launch a were in it when the seas began washing over it. Hank caught a rope and was hauled aboard when the boat capsized. The other three men were drowned. All this time, the gale was increasing In fury. Now the chart house was gone and the seas were pouring into the cabin. The last remaining lifeboat was smashed. The crew toek to the rigging, rig-ging, and the captain's wife climbed to the cross trees like a - sailor while the captain brought the baby, wrapped In shawl. Distress Rockets Save Endangered Men. The fog had lifted, and they could see the lighthouse on Texel Island, but there was no sign of help in sight "With darkness coming on," says Hank, "I was sure our number was up. Night felL and still we were marooned In the rigging. But at midnight, the wind abated considerably. The first mate, Mr. Steeves, and I, went down into the place where the cabins used to be and brought out a watertight case of distress rockets." Those rockets saved the day. They set off three in rapid succession, and a few moments later they saw a great blue flare go up in the vicinity of the lighthouse signal that their rockets had been seen. Bat could help reach them? They didn't know. Morning came. Still the sea was empty and there was no relief in sight But at eight o'clock they sighted a sail and in half an hour a lifeboat from Texel island was hailing them. ' A line was thrown aboard; and 16 people including the captain's wife and baby, were taken aboard. Last Man to Jump Off the Boat. Sixteen was all the boat would hold. In about an hour a ship's boat from the steamer Hercules of Amsterdam, arrived and took off the rest of the crew, including Hank. Hank was the last man to jump off the ill-fated Stanley. The boat carried them through rough seas to the Hercules, and the Hercules landed them in Nieo Dicp, Holland. There Hank learned that the Stanley had not been the only unlucky ship in that night's storm. Five hundred fishermen had lost their lives In it . . Hank has quit the sea now and settled down ashore, but I wonder if once in a while he doesn't wish he were back on a rolling deck again, in spite of such things as gales and ships aground in the North Sea. How about it Hank? Copyright WNU Service. Soda Water, European Discovery Aerated water, popularly known as soda water, such as is served at American fountains, was a European Euro-pean discovery.
