Army Herds Annual "WaIlow"
Is Marked by Philippine
Atmosphere,

Sensuous tropical nights. The shrill
cry of a cockatoo. The continual
"drip-drop" of moisture from the
fronds of the palm trees. The sibilant
noise as some one stirs himself in his
rattan chair ana bids the Number
One Boy" bring a highball and fresh
cheroots.
And so on ad lib.
One didn't have to journey to the
land of the Southern Cross and The
dark Jungle last night to appreciate
the atmosphere of an army post ia
the Philippines. Those who attended
the eighteenth annual "wallow" of he
Militry Order of the Carabao at
Rauscher's had the tropics brought

lived the life"
Once a year officers of the army,
navy and marine corps who served In
the early days in the Philippines,
banded together in the Military Order
of the Carabao. gather to recall the
old days in the tropics.
A feature of the yearly "wallows,"
as they are called. is the appointment
of Bomberino by the Paramount
Carabao. Last night the honor was
bestowed upon Col. John Z. Wood
ward, the general star. The duty of
the Bomberino Is to lead the herd"
to water, and in these days OF .prohi-
bition the office is quite appropriate.
