They are the nutlouul exponents of sucn Ideas as dominion status and responsible government, which means little to the rural masses, who constitute nearly HO per cent of the entire populutlnn of India. AlaliHtiua Gandhi, a Hindu law yer and a dominant figure among Indian nationalists. Is himself par- tailly a product of western civilization in that he was educated lu England and practicel law in Durban, South Africa, from l'.KHl to 11114. when he returned to India. It was while in South Africa that Mr. Gandhi Inltluted his tint! passive resistance movement, designed to secure the free and unlimited entry and registration of Asiatics In the Transvaal. Blots and disturbances occurred In various parts of Natal. As a result an Imlliiii Inquiry com mission was apiiolnted, but Mr. Gandhi and his followers refused to recognize It Nevertheless, and as a consequence of the recoin mendatlons made, a settlement of the various questions at issue was arrived at. The Natal tax, pre viously Imposed on Asiatics who settled In the republic, for the purposes of trade or otherwise, was abandoned. To understand Mr. Gandhi and his atttlude toward western civ ilization, which has proved such a puzzle to many, one should read his book entitled "Indian Home Utile." In It European medicine Is singled out for special attack. He wrote of hospitals that they were "Institutions for propagating sin," and of the medical profession that, far from being of real service to humanity. In bis campaign against western civilization, Mr. Gandhi has made machine-mad- e goods the object of his most bitter attacks. His desire Is to see the ancient spinning whpel introduced Into every Indian household, but he has not found It 'practicable to give up the use of the railroads and automobiles, against which he lias so fiercely In veighed. No one, I think, questions Mr. Gandhi's patriotism or sincerity. nor is the lure for the primitive, with which he is possessed, peculiar to himself. and Tolstoy both found It Irresistible. The danger appears to lie In the fact that a return to elemental life must also mean a return sooner or later to elemental emotions In all their It seems unlikely that crudity. this is the real goal of the peoples of India.

DEFIES THE DROUGHT Harding Portrait in White House I JOINED 111 my new regiment, a crack Indian cavalry unit, at Bawal l'indi in the I'unjab. I still have unpleasant memories of my first morning in the riding school. A good looking chestnut Indian horse had been allotted to me, which my Indian sice, or groom, led Into the yard of my bungalow. Not having done any serious riding for years, I was dismayed to see the animal had neither saddle nor stir rup and only a single rein. Mounting as best I could, my grave faced trooper led the way to the riding school. Tills consisted of a large tract of sparsely covered grass land, one section of which resembled a steeplechase race track, with thirty or nore jumps of every size and description set In a huge oval. Away to the right a squadron of my new regiment was executing a drill movement at the gallop. The The sight of those turban-lieaded- , khaki-clafigures, and the dull gleam of theii lances, gave me a thrill of anticipation. Towering In the background lay the mighty Himalaya mountains, purple tinted In the early morning light. We approached two mounted British oil!- -' cers, one of whom was my colonel. I felt strangely insignilicunt as I saluted. Without comment, the colonel,' pointing to a mud wall jump about thirty yards away, suggested that I drop my rein, fold my arms, grip with my knees and demonstrate my 1 riding and jumping abilities. can frankly say that this was one of the worst moments of my life, but worse was soon to follow. My ears and neck must have been the color of beets, for I was conscious of the poor figure I cut, as striving desperately to keep my balance, and gripping frantically with my knees, I made for the wall. I do not know to this day whether I or my horse reached the other side first. Suflice it to say that we landed separately, and 1 dragged head out of the dust to find my my steed a dozen yfirds ahead of me, his neck craned round In my direction and a pitying look In his eye which seemed to say "we all expected that." At my second attempt, we rose for the Jump, I learned the undoubted use of a horse's neck In an emerI must have been a pitigency. ful sight for a cavalry officer, with my arms tightly clasped around my animal's neck and my legs dangling The colonel aimlessly In midair. and his adjutant had remained to watch my lamentable exhibition of y horsemanship and appeared to It may be my mortification. that-mhorse was touched by the affectionate nature of my embrace, for at the third attempt we surmounted the obstacle without parting company.

In Hussla, for example, there Is a plant called the "Wind the Witch." When It Is grown-u- p branches of Its stalks curl down and pull up the plant by Its roots. Then It waits for a strong wind to come and carry It off to a new ' spot, where It takes root again and "sets up house" In fresh surroundings.
