GRASSES GROW IN NIGHT
AND WHITE ANTS DESTROY
SUPPORTS OF BUILDINGS.
Conditions in Philippines Which
Cause Revolution in Plans for
Army Barracks.

A love for the closely trimmed little
green lawn on the one hand and the
dread of the insignificant but destruc-
tive white ant on the other has
brought about a complete change in
the plans for the Philippine army post.
The large post, with its web scattered
small barracks and officers quarters.
with large restful spaces OF green be-
tween, was a delight to the eye and
the well-kept gravel walks afforded
many pleasant promenades.
Two Points Overlooked.
But the military architects and land
scape gardeners who laid out the exist
ing army posts in the Philippines over
looked two important facts. In the
first place. especially in the rainy sea-
son, the grasses and shrubs and weeds
will grow over night, not only making
the lawns look like wheat fields, but
invading and destroying the gravel
one man in every four at the post
had to be assigned to police duty.
most of them being engaged IN cut
ting grasses and weeds. 1T was felt
that it was time to call halt.
Work of White Ants.
Then the white ants were heard from
in the barracks and quarters which
had been hastily constructed out OF
American lumber. 1t was no uncom-
mon thing for a corner post of one OF
the buildings to be so riddled in a single
night by these insects as to let down
the corner of the building.
So henceforth Ii is to be small, COM
pact posts, easily kept clean. and build
ings of reinforced concrete; the small
barracks concentrated into buildings
large enough to shelter battallons, al
of which will make for economy and
the comfort Of the soldiers.

Comparative Superiority
of Pointer and Setter.

from the sportsman's point OF view. The
friends of the setter declare that the
pointer never has won championship
stake.
The friends of the pointer reply that the
pointers have won high horors in proper
ton to the number entered. at the big
field trials. To this the setter people re-
ply that the reason there are so few
pointers entered at the big trials is that
few OF them are able to make sufnclent
showing in the smaller events TO get
chance in the more important trials.
The pointer is claimed to be little
weak In endurance and gainliness. and to
be a less steady worker in the field than
the setter. Yet il must not be presumed
that he is without his good qualities.

When trial week arrives the dogs are
assigned by lot the order in which they

They are then drawn out one by one,
and the dogs are assigned TO run IN
