HEROIC RESCUE
OF Helpless Women Aud Chill
dren From a Rabfd Dog.
Wallace West Risks Ills Life In a
I Single Handed Combat
With a rIad Dog.


There are heroes besides those
who face death on the field of battle.
Sometimes they come to the front in
the every day walks of life. Few

accord to Wallace West the need Of
praise that belongs only 10 those Of
noble souls and heroic mold.
last Sunday morning as the little
country Sunday school at Benefits
town was in session, the children
busy with their lessons and the
teachers with the minds on sacred
things, strange dog appeared in
the open door. He was a large
shepherd dog wiz bloodshot eyes,
frothing mouth and suffering from
the horrible commissions of hydro
phobia. With vicious snarls he be-
gan ferocious attack upon the

Pandemonium reigned. Women
shrieked, children screamed, old
and young, stricken with terror.

Meanwhile the dog was swapping

house does not pay anything except his income
tax and the house owners internal revenue
tax. The landowner pays nothing except his
income tax He receives the ground rent from
the leaseholder and when the property falls in
at the expiration of the ninety nine years the
house which has been rebuilt and improved by
one tenant after another reve~ts TO him. There
is neither taxation Of ground rents nor assess
ments for betternents. The income tax is the
sole method OF striking great landlords to whom
ground rents paid. and it is not by any
means clear whether it covers the unearned in
crement produced by the reversion Of houses at
the expiration OF long leases.
The improvement of houses in the West End
is brought about mainly at the expense Of oc-
cupiers. A tenant. for example, takes house
for twenty-one years, with the privilege of
breaking the lease seven fourteen years.
The house is painted and repaired for him by
the outgoing tenant and he assumes similar
obligation for his successor. If he finds the
sanitary arrangements defective and improves
the house by constructing model bathrooms and
putting in electric light II is at his expense
He may succeed in collecting a premium when
he assigns his agreement or gives up his ten
ancy, but otherwise he has improved the house
entirely at his own cost. AS the occupier. he is
liable for local taxes and repairs and is under
obligation to start the next tenant with fresh
paint and decorations and TO lay down virtually
a years rent when he goes out Of the house.
These the ordinary conditions under which
houses occupied in the West End OF Lon
don. and the effect is TO bring up living expenses
10 high q Level in American cities. The
nominal house rent may be lower but when
pairs and taxes are added up the occupier is
under no illusion respecting the cheapness OF
London residence. His only compensation is
firmly grounded conviction that there is an un-
earned increment of tremendous magnitude
which the municipal reformers and the tax
gatherers will discover some day. I. y. F.

FLEE ON FIRE ESCAPES FROM DOG.
And this is the letter.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: To satisfy an inqusttive reader, you
inform through your columns if the flee or
flea mentioned in item inCOsed burned very
severely, or he captured Why the dog
anxious TO capture him? And the hammer a

thrown? These Inquiries are suggested by the
headings, and not by the article as printed Yours

II one were TO hear this head, instead of read
ing It, IT might be a little doubtful in its import
at first. But anybody who looked at it and saw
that il began with flee and not with flea"
need not be puzzled. A moments recollection OF
the spelling book and the elementary grammar
should make all plain. Flee is a verb, and verbs
never get on fire. Nothing ever gets on fire ex-
cept some of the things which nouns are the
names Of Now, flee" being understood to be a
verb II should be easy to see that escapes" is a
noun, although the spelling alone would not show
IT. Even If the head be read incorrectly as

to whether 1.-The flee flea" was captured. Is un-
the head 'the fee flea" escapes: II does, in
deed seem curious that a dog should be anxious
TO capture a flea, If the flea were really trying 10
escape. A sensible dog would let him escape or
even connive at his escape But II the nea We're
not really anxious TO get away, but merely sought
