HAVE HIGH REGARD FOR LIFE
Brahnans' Ethics Do Not Allow Them
to Destroy Even tho Most An.
noyin2 Pests.

Mr.. G.. Il. Tyndale Biscoe. in his
book, 'kashmlr in. Sunlight and
Shade" gives the following entertain
ing account Of the Brahmans' peculiar
tiles: Its very difficult to understand
the Brahmans' ethics. Often in the
summer time, when one is teaching a
class, it happens that a mosquito or a
fly settles on ones hand. BY force OF
habit I end his life with slap. At
this the Brahmans jump and cry out,
ooh. oh you have taken a life! You
have taken life!' and suck their fin
gers hard and crnck their knuckles,
which Is a sign Of distress and horror
They have Of late given up this custom
Of showing horror at the death Of a
fly or mosquito. for they hate the re-
tort. Don't you cut mutton?' They
will not kill insects, and I have seen
q boy pick a flea off Of himself and
then quickly put 1t in PLACE Of Safe
ty down the neck of the boy next to
him, for If he had put it on the floor
it might have been trodden upon, or
perhaps have returned to his own per-
Son. This belief Of theirs in the
preservation Of pests Is very unfortu-
nate. It IS the same with rats and
mice, which abound. The furthest they
will 90 in the matter Is to catch them
in traps and then carry them to the
opposite side OF the river and there re-
lease them. But as people on both
sides Of the river play the same game,
the rats do not decrease greatly"

building is shortly to be determined
through a system Of operative records
recently installed by the bureau Of
public roads, United States Depart

Out Of the sur plus war material
turned over to the War department, for
distribution among the states, the bu-
reau has retained a. large number Of
motor vehicles, VIII h are used prin-
cipally ON forest iroud work in the
West. These mot0G vehicles are kept
at various central points where shops
are maintained for repair work.
Complete records will be kept of all
Oil, gasoline and supplies OF every
kind used by each vehicle. Even the
number of tube patches will be kept.
Record will also be kept. Of the num-
Der of hours of shop work required;
of days idle, and why !; Of distances
loads are carried and the character Of
the loads; and the gross income from
the operation Of the vehicles. The in
formation thus obtained will be COM
bined with similar information from
some Of the states operating the sur

them, and will form valuable add.
ton to the knowledge Of the cost of

BEBE DANIELS IN THE
SPEED GIRL" AT GRAND

One always expects breezy, last
moving comedy drama from the pen
Of Elmer Harris; one always expects
delightful Interpretation of any role
by Bebe Daniels; and one always en-
meets picture replete with clever
effects when directd by Major Maur-
ice Campbell. Yet it seems that this
gifted trio Of entertainers. who have
collaborated on so many of Miss Dan
iels' recent screen hits, have outdone
even themselves in 1.-THE Speed Girl"
which opens tonight at the Grand
theater.
= Tho popular star herself is so
admirably. fitted by this role that one
has the feeling that she really x the
heroine, and that the audience is
merely seeing cross section of her
own life.
1.-THE Speed Girl" is fast-mov:ng
story of a girl who was born with the
desire for swift motion, whether On
Land, sea or in the air. Even as 4.
child, it is shown, Betty Lee wanted
a speedier Scooter" and wanted to
push it faster than any Of the other
little boys or girls.
Miss Daniels is supported by cast
which fully meets the requirements
Of the action, as we'll as fulfilling the
Realart standard Of excellence. Theo-
dorc Van Eltz is leading man and
looks very swank in his uniform OF
blue. Walter HERS, as the press
agent, supplies his inimitable kind of
comedy. Frank Elliott, who has
played "heavies" in number Of
pictures for other companies, is seen
as an ardent sutton of Betty's while
Norris Johnson plays Hilda, the girl
who contributes an important boost
to the surprising solution.

Builders Brought to a Halt
To the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune,
Sir: High rents will continue for a
longer period than if the Legislature
had confined its activities to curbing
the instances Of grossly high rentals.
The tenant who for a number Of
years past paid from $40 to $50 per
month less than reasonable rental
ought not TO complain if for an equal
period he finds himself paying corre-
spending amount more than he might
consider fair in view of increased run
ming expenses and taxes. With such
increase as he deems excessive the
property will show only moderate
return in the long run. No business
can live that does not at least show
such return.
Viewing the situation as it is
to-day, including particularly the
attitude Of the public, builder said
to the writer that if any member of
his family seriously contemplated
putting up apartments at the present
time he would consider 1t sufficient
reason for formal inquiry into his
sanity. CHARLES E. MANIERRE.

living up to this conception Of Wig
orous college, sustained and glorified
by It's position in the heart of a
great university. The handicaps
upon college life under such con-
ditions are clear. What have tho
trustees Of Columbia done to over
come them? Largely, it would seem,
the failure Of the trustees to pro-
vide adequately for the college has
been due to the old difficulty, lack
of funds. Now, to remove the COL
lege to a cheaper site would un-
doubt.aily aid in the solution of this
economic problem. But, as The
Alumni News well says, college
forty miles up the Hudson might be
an admirable and successful institu-
tion--it would not be Columbia
College.
The best hope, it would seem, of
those who have the future Of Colum-
bia College at heart lies in clearer
realization by the university heads
Of the needs Of this old kernel Of a
great institution. The money can
be found if the urgency is sufficiently
appreciated. The benefits of an in
innate educational alliance between
college and university are very great
if the college is properly regarded
and served. Every friend of this old
and honorable institution will hope
that the undergraduate protest will
be needed and the only practicable
remedies be promptly and whole
heartedly applied.

AT 1t Agar,

The warning by the American
Legion against insidious enemy
propaganda, followed by that of
General Wood to stand by our
friends and allies, could not come at
more appropriate time.
Just now The New York Wcrld is
publishing q series OF articles on
Alsace-Lorraine by, an anonymous
correspondent that the German For
eign Office could we'll afford TO pay
for. We do not question the motives
Of our neighbor, but it must know
the natural effects of such publicity.
With the terrible wrongs inflicted on
France unredressed, it is amazing
that any reputable newspaper should
aid the wrongdoer. Truly pro-Ger-
man propaganda is rampant, is once
again seeking to undermine the one
thing Germany fears--Franco-B Brit
ish-American cooperation.
Germany gets aid from unexpect-
ed quarters. For example, Senator
Willis, Of Ohio, and ex-senator Bev-
eridge, of Indiana, are taking up the
idea of having the Allies pay their
debts to us by transferring their
West Indian possessions to u.s..
This naturally creates CONSERVATION
among their populations, free citi-
zens of the British Empire and of the
French Republic, who cannot believe
they should be disposed of like cat
tie, and in Great Britain and France
stimulates dubiety as to American
purposes,
New-York tribune., 1921-02-26
The Japanese Way

Japan's answer to the American
protest called forth by the killing of
naval Lieutenant W. H. Langdon in
Vladivostok by a Japanese sentry
illustrates anew the contrariwise
habit Of the Mikado's people as COM
pared with our own way Of doing
things.
The Japanese, as many q visitor
from the Occident has noted. begin q
book on the last page; horses are
backed into their stalls; the car
penter saws toward himself instead
of away, and so on.
So the sentry who did the shooting
is let off lightly, whereas the COM
manding general is degraded in rank,
the barracks officer is adiudged
guilty and sentenced to confinement;
likewise his assistant, and also the
company captain.
Had the sentry Of a Caucasian
army committed this tragic blunder,
it is probable that he alone would
have been made the scapegoat and
his superiors would rave gone scot
free, except that there might have
been some far-off allusion to their
regrettable failure Of provision that
would have prevented such a grave
blunder. But the Japanese court
martial topsy-turvily began at the
top and worked down. 1t appears
that by this procedure, so different
from the way Of the Western world,
Japanese justice has been meted out.
We are always talking about get
ting the "man higher up" but we
commonly begin by getting the man
lowest down and rarely arrive at the
upper attitudes of culpability. Is
Japan's way of mailing the topmost
offender first at all worthy of our
consideration?
