Carabao Ideal Beasf
of Burden in Tropics

~ Y
One OF the greatest obstacles to
any industrial progress In the tropical
countries is the lack Of transportation
facilities. In Central Africa the tsetse
fly is SO fatal to horses and cattle that
they are practically excluded from mill
lions of miles Of territory. Ticks are
almost as bad In other places. Ticks,
flies. mosquitoes and the like, even ii
less menacing than the tsetse, often
lrritate horses to a frenzy that dimin-
ishes their strength, increases their
susceptibility to disease and shortens
their lives. Among work animals the
water buffalo. or carabao, as 1t is
called in the Philippines, Is indeed an
exception. Its optimum : climate Is
warm and moist. It's digestive system
Is adapted to coarse, watery vegeta-
ton. and its thick hide. plus the coat
of mud with which it loves to encase
itself. makes II fairly immune to in
sects. But unluckily the water buffalo
Is useful mainly for wet crops, like
rice. For other kinds Of agriculture,
the native bumped cattle Of India and
the allied banteng Of Java are the
best available. but they are relatively
small. inefficient and unintelligent
compared with the horse, and they
sufrer from attacks By insects.

tremendous stage success, despite the
doleful wagging of the critics heads
on its opening night over six years

theater Oct. 8.
The instant box office success Of
the show quickly set in motion a
wave Of attempts along the Jew-Irish
line, but none we're able TO turn the
comedy with the n~eatness, dizziness
and tImeliness that Miss Nichols
achieved. Both stage productions
and Celebrations in the silent drama
have fallen by the wayside, but
"Abie's Irish Rose" continues TO get
a rousing reception whenever shown.
The company coming here is no ex-

be seen from the following A. Y. B.
OF the Trenton States Gazette:
Even though one may discover a
lot Of hokum in this Irish-Jewish af-
fair land there is a good measure Of
hokum in it,, the Nichols comedy is
funny; and, being funny, it is good
entertainment. You've got to laugh

bush. A time bonb was also discov-
cred about the same time in Zogu's
