ventilator and stovepipe opening is another very desirable one, 

 always provided in Goveniment tents. This opening usually is 

 placed directly below the ridge at the left of the entrance. It meas- 

 ures 6 inches in breath and 8 inches in length, and is covered by a 

 lapel secured on the inner side. 



Tents may be screened effectively by hangings of five-mesh Enghsh 

 bobbinet around the sides and over aU openings, or by means of gal- 

 vanized-wire screen sections inserted as indicated in Plate VIII, 

 figure 1. 



For winter use tents should be floored at least 12 inches above the 

 ground. 



Tables 14 and 15 show the common sizes of wall tents, their dimen- 

 sions and approximate costs when made of the various grades of 

 material, and also the maximum permissible number of occupants 

 for each size. The prices given are hst prices for 1915, include poles 

 and stakes, and are subject to a discount of from 35 to 50 per cent. 



Table 16 shows the dimensions of a number of sizes of stable tents 

 and gives the prices of each of the sizes made of the various grades 

 of duck. The prices are approximate hst prices of 1915, and are 

 subject to from 35 to 50 per cent discount, but they are for complete 

 tents, including tops, sides, and aU necessary poles and stakes. For 

 the top, poles, and stakes, but without sides the hst prices run from 

 65 to 75 per cent of those given in the table.
