One of the most pronounced examples of advancement is Bikaner, which ranks among the highest of the more than 700 Indian states, and whose ruler, the Mahara- Jah of Bikaner, a desoendant of the famous fighting race of Rathore Raj- puts, is held to be one of the most cultured, broad-minded and progres- sive princes of the Indian émpire. It has been the privilege of a correspond- ent of the Associated” Press to" spend some ‘tlme in Bikaner and to talk on numerous occasions with the Mahara- Jah concerning the 'policy which has revolutionized affairs throughout this state. The Maharajah belongs to the new order of Indian rulers who have been schooled in the learning of the west and who have accepted the tenet that the stability of government depends upon ‘the enlightenment, prosperity and happiness of its people. When he took over the control of Bikaner eight- een years ago-—he was then eighteen —he immediately set about to put into practice the advanced ideas which he had acquired and today railways, mod- ern schools, an up-to-date hospital, a model prison, electric lighting, sani- tary improvements, water supply sys- tems, and beautiful public buildings furnish visible demonstrations of pro- gress, while he has established a rep- resentative assembly and put his ad- ministration on a business basis that has resulted in the state income being nearly trebled. Knight From Arabian Nights. In personal appearance, in bearing and in accomplishments His Highness impresses one as having just stepped out of an Arabian Nights tale in which he has played the part of the gallant prince, so typical is he of what one has been led to expect in a story of that sort. Tall, broad-shouldered, handsome, ever affable, yet main- taining a dignity which brooks no over-familiarity, of magnetic person- ality, a born soldier, an excellent horseman, a sure shot and keen sportsman, as the trophies of big game in his palace show, an indefatig- able worker in affairs of state—such is the Maharajah of Bikaner at the age of thirty-six, One of the most striking innova- tions which the Maharajah has made in his state has been the establish- ment of the represcntative assembly through which his people have a voice in the government. It was a voluntary concession on his part. “I came to the conclusion,” he said, “that the greatness of a ruler lies in the greatness of his people. When T announced that I intended' to establish the assembly some of my friends begged me not to take such a step. ‘It is giving away your pow- er’ they declared.” The Maharajah *-~1 if both he and the people were satisfiled that the change had been beneficial. “Come and ride with me and my sons to the temple in the city this af- ternoon and I think you will get a better answer than I can give you ver- bally,” he replied. The invitation was accepted and the correspondent accompanied the Mah- arajah and his two young princes to the great Hindu temple where the ruler and his sons performed their devotions. During the morning the streets had been specially watered to lay the dust and this had given the people warning that some member of the reigning family was to pass. As {he carriage with its mounted guard proceeded through the winding ways dense crowGs gatheied beside the road and nearly every window was filled with eager faces. Even the roofs were covered with those who hoped to get a better view. Honored by Populace. It is not an unusual thing for the Maharajah to make a trip — through the capital, but there were the throngs just the same. as keen to get & glimpse as though he were a for- olgn prince. And as the carriage ad- vanced the people broke into such cheering as the correspondent had seldom heard before Even tiny children took up the cry of - “Khama,” a salutation of respect and devotion, peculiar to these parts and used only for the ruler, and the volume swelled until it became almost deafening. More than one of the aged people gave the Maharajah their blessings and invoked any troubles which he might have ‘to come upon themselves. All the way this wonderful demon- stration was kept up. His highness smiling and saluting to right and left. When a point finally was reached where he could make himself heard he leaned forward and said: “Does it pay to do the best one can for his people? For myself T ask no bhetter answer than we have just been given.” The Maharajah is rapidly turning his capital into a model city. Bikaner now has one of the largest and best electric light installations in India, being among the first of the Indian cities to adopt this mode of lighting. The telephone, too, has been brought into use to connect all the important government officers and residences. Sanitation i3 a hobby of his highness and the entire city has been cleaned up, buildings being torn down and replaced where necessary. The streets have been widened in many places and just now a modern water supply system is being installed. The Maharajah has a keen sense of appreciation of the beautiful and has erected a large number of mag- rificent buildings of oriental de- sign but with Western interiors, most of which are for the nse of the pub- lic or the government.

The ruler no longer lives in the ancient, fort-encircled palace of his ancestors but has built a palace fur- ther away from the city—a fairy land with its beautiful gardens. And at the same time, while placing him- self in more modern surroundings, he laid out a great public garden for his people opposite the old pal- uce. Even a zoo has been placed in this park for the amusement of the little folk of Bikaner, and facilities for bathing are provided in a large artifiicial lake. His highness is pacticularly inter- egted in the education of his subjects and while he has not yet inaugurated compulsory education he has by per- cuasion worked wonders in getting | the people to send their children to school. In the capital two colleges have been built, one for the public and the other for the sons of nobles. The public college has something like 1,000 pupils and the sciences not be- ing neglected. The XNobles' college, while smaller, has a large number of students. Outside the capital the Maharajah has also been at work and has in- creased the mileage of railways in his state, from 86 to 498 miles. Two new* lines, via Bikaner, some 500 miles in jength, are in project, and a great ir- rigation plan which will turn the sandy country of Bikaner into good cgricultural lands is under consider- | ation. For his achievements the Mahara- ! jah has been decorated by the king several times. HOW 70 MAKE BAD | BOYS GOOD BOYS Get 'Em and Tame 'Em Advises Baden-Powell person- London, Feb. 10.—Bad boys, or! “hooligans” as they are often called ‘structive moving picture shows and in this country, are being transformed on an extensive scale, One way to reform them is to take them to in- to allow them to mingle with the good Boy Scouts, according to some of the remedies outlined by Licu- tenant-General Sir Robert Baden Powell, the chief scout. “The problem is to get hold of the existing hooligan and tame him," taid the chief. “In Birmingham they have formed what are called re- serve scouts.” There are 2,000 young hooligans who are honorary members of scout troops, and they are allowed to play games without taking up rcouting at all unless they wish, but 90 per cent. of them want to become scouts after they have been playing a week or two. “Many of them have already been rewarded for public service. That is what these hooligans want. It is a most pathetic sight to see a real hool- igan who had been a “bobby baiter’ (police nagger )suddenly turn into an orderly for the police—a copper’s compansion as one of them called himself. In Hull a number of hoo!- igans have been turned into sea scouts. “A good many people say that the cinema is responsible for everything that is bad. I go there myself a good deal. That sort of argument re- minds me of the case of a boy who was rewarded by a magistrate for saving life by stopping a runaway horse. ‘You never go to a cinema, do you, my boy? asked the magis- trate. ‘Yes, I do,’ replied the bo “That's where I learned how to do it.’ “In Newcastle we are taking the boys from the streets into the cinema, where instructive pictures are shown. 'mhey see how to deal with accidents, nd learn all kinds of other things rom the pictures.” WORK OF WOMEN WINS APPROVAL Successiully Replace Men in Many German Activities (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Berlin, Feb. 3.—One of the Berlin newspapers hus conducted an inquiry as to how women have succeeded in doing men’s work, and to what extent they will be kept at such work atter the war, The leading electrical company of the country replied that it was now employing four timés as many wo- { men as before the war, and its factor- ies in general had favorable results with women as workers. The streét cleaning department re-' ports that women have done well & teamsters on night work, have not yet been emploved in actual street cleaning, there being enough men to do it. The omnibus company has been employving women only for a short time, but it reports itself as sat- isfled with them, both as drivers' and ag conductors. The leading local ex- press company, which also handles much baggage and other heavy ob« jects, says that it has some women at work, but it finds that they are not suited for such heayy work; they are also hindered by their clothing climbing upon and out of the wagous. The Berlin street railway company has substituted women for men to the extent of one-half of the names on its pay-rolls; 3,900 of. its 4,700 con- ductors are women, 450 of the 2,750 motormen, 400 of the 1,600 employes in its workshops, including those ¢n- gaged in washing cars, and 200 of the, 500 office employes. The company says: “In all these:positions the wo- men are doing satisfactory work, which varies little from that of the men,” The post office reports that it has {aken on a large number of women, especially in the smaller offices, and that they have given favorable sults; but it is not intended to retain them permanently after the war., The same railway management enum- erates a great number of positions in which it now employes women and praises the ‘‘good will, industry, zeal and in many instances the achlieve- ments” of the women, but it com- plains that the irregularity of their work, the frequent c¢hanges in employ- ment, have a disturbing effect. The management adds that many womeft who have done satisfactory work will be retained in the service after the war, but that in general the employ- ment of women by the state roads will be only tempora PASTEUR- from ty- ination of disease germs; IZING means NO danger phoid, scarlet fever, septic sore throat, tuberculosls, etc, PAS- TEURIZING does NOT change the flavor of the mlik nor detract from its richness—it just makes the milk ABSOLUTELY SAFE—for YOUR use.
