Pratt's Police Politeness
Seems Missing Here

Editor, Times:
I have lived in washington
nearly three months and in
that time have noticed various
criticisms Of the Metropolitan
Police. Until last Saturday
every police officer I have ap-
preached here has courteously
responded, and I was unable to
see the justice Of the charge
that at least some Of them
were rude.
But last Saturday, during the
Trade Commission building fire,
I approached an officer wear
ing Metropolitan Police badge
No. 81 and asked if anything
was known as to the cause of
the fire. The rude and often
sive reply I received caused me
to ask If the officers insulted
people who asked civil ques-
tions. At that he became
boisterous, and made a more
offensive response, which at
tracted the attention of the by
ISLANDERS. I said no more, and
moved to another point, not
caring to engage in any scene.
If the ahove.named officer is
O. specimen Of the police of
Washington, which do not be-
lieve he is, 7 am disappointed.
I never was a policeman, but
believe there is no reason why
one blue uniform could not con-
tain both a policeman and a
gentleman at the same time.

Casual Observations

Submitted for what they are WORTHY
Except for casual funerals
To argue solemnly of morals
Is like a flyblown carcass thrown
At the foot of a Rlden throne.
For morals is but a standard guage
Accepted by a present age,
To measure what becoming is
In love affairs, and what amiss.
A guage to measure social life,
For parents, husband and his wife;
For boys and girls both young and
old,
Within, beyond their own thxesh-
hold.
These standards change from year to
year.
Each in its time will domineer.

Refuse thus to be always hedged.
Estrangement is the bitter fruit,
For those who thus new loves recruit.
And mothers loose the natural touch,
So much that they forget they're

JUNGLE THRILLS

THE Indian jungle is both beauti-
full and fascinating, but IT also has
it's diScomforts. | have vivid recol-
lections of a long nights vigil. A
panther had killed a goat on the edge
Of a small clearing. A friend and l
rode out from camp, Is miles on horse
back. Leaving our horses in village
nearby, as the sun was setting. we
climbed into tree not very far from
where the dead goat still lay. The sun
sank and the short Indian twilight
descended with curious hush on the
land.
Soon the silence was broken by the
strange noises Of the jungle. Mos
quitoes buzzed around us and bit re-
lentessly. Pea fowl. with their alb
surdly pornpous gait, strutted to the
water Of neighboring pool Parrots
screeched and swooped from tree to
tree. Suddenly. just as dusk was turn
ing to darkness blurred outline ap
peared for a moment In the under
growth 20 yards away Immediately
the sounds of jungle life ceased. and
then altogether unexpectedly there
broke out on all sides wild chorus
of jabbering The branches above our
heads were wildly ierked and shaken;
heavy bodies seemed to be hurling
themselves from tree to tree. They
were. of course. monkeys, and for an
hour or more they chntlered and
jumped and jbbered, exhibiting in the
very frenzy of their outcries the fierce
hatred for their hereditary enemy that
preyed upon them
AS for ourselves, we knew for the
time being that hope WIS dead. We
stretched our cramped limbs and
scratched our bitten hands and necks
until we were nearly mad with irri
ration But al last silence came once
more. A faint light from the moon
triclled through the branches. Tense
and not during even 10 whisper or
move. we strained our eyes to the
rar,hesi visible distance
Yet when the panther put In his ap
peurance again we neither OF US saw
him come. His movements were alb
solutely noiseIess. and not until ne
was actually IN top of the goats body
did W, realize his presence. He was
so close that 1t would have been diff.
cult to miss. and my companion, who
we had agreed was to fire first, shot
him. We carried him hack In triumph
is miles in the dark on the back of
my protesting horse.

"Well, the gorilla recently died."

get his skin, swing on the trapeze,

you can have the job"
The customers man filed the bill
well until one day the rope or which
he was swinging snapped and he
was catapulted into the lions cage.
The lion, seeing him, let out a
lusty roar to which he offered tim
i'd yelp. The lion roared more men,
acingly. The pseudo-gorilla lost his
nerve and became entirely human,
backed into corner yelling help,

The lion thereupon came closer
and said in hoarse whisper, "Shut

AND ITS PEOPLES
By Copt. 1. R. CIovd Robinson
INDIA UNDER WATER

IN THE rainy season-June to Octo-
berthe plains of Bengal present a
remarkable spectacle. In the eastern
part of the province the whole land
is under water, but water from which
spring wonderful crops of jute and
rice, Transforming the whole country
into vast field of emerald green.
Villages have the appearance OF small
islands set in vivid green sea. The
houses almost buried in dense clumps
OF shady trees-mangO, banana, palm
and bamboo-are supported on arti
fetal foundations raised foot or two
above the usual level of the monsoon
floods
Small boats with varied colored sails
move over the great expanses OF the
rivers. Indian children in curious lit.
tie improvised boats of clay. paddle
themselves around ON the creeks which
eat into the village sites. One may
witness the strange phenomenon of a
rice. These crops grow In varying
depths of water, usually several feet
and in some cases, where there are
depressions in the surface of the land,
up to Is feet and more. II has been
recorded that as fast as the water
rises the stalks grow, so that the ear
is never immersed In water. Such
crops are reaped in boats, but Ordi.
narily the men of eastern Bengal
spend the day waist deep in water.
This cultivated land remains under
water for as much as five months of
the year. so that, since most OF the
harvesting is done under these condi
tions, man becomes an amphibian. Yet
curiousy enough, the Indian seems to
dislike getting his head wet, and !
have seen men up to their arms In
water, clad only with loin cloth and
wearing large circular pleated bamboo
hats to keep off the rain
In eastern Bengal rivers form the
highways, and In the monsoon season
innumerable smaller channels take the
place of country lanes This Is the
most convenient season for travel.
The heat and moisture are oppressive,
and the insect life, vast in number and
bewildering in variety. Is constant
source of evaporation, but one may
move freely wherever one wishes, for
water, the medium of travel, Is uni
versal.
The scene through which one passes,
though monotonous at times, has pc
culiar charm, for seldom can one see
elsewhere so glorious variety OF
shades of green. Little can be seen
of the dwellings of the Indians, owing
to the density of the jungle that sur
rounds them. A cultivators house con-
sists often enough of number of semi
detached sheds of waffle, built round
and opening onto courtyard. The big
man of the village may have a more
substantial residence of brick Some
times the force of the rain Is so great
that the mud homes of the natives are
washed away.
