C., May 14 — The recent report of the Indian States committee opposing the federation of the Indian native states and the British administration in India, tends to perpetuate the picturesque rulers of the hundreds of little and big states in the giant peninsula of India. According to a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic 8ociety. these rulers, although they have adopted western dress and customs i for many occasions, still are among the most colorful potentates of the east. Fortunes in Jewels “Consider the Maharaja of Patiala in festive array if you would have true picture of eastern splendor and color,” the bullentin continues. “He wears a diamond tiara ffom which hang loops of diamonds, pearls and emeralds. Around his neck is a three row pearl collar and, on his breast, an emerald breast-plate. His coat is of rich brocade, and his hand res upon a diamond-hilted sword sheathed in a velvet scabbard stud- ded with diamonds. On his fingers | are diamonds, rubies, emeralds and pearls. 2 “Patiala’s Maharaja is outshone by other princes in the splendor of their jewels. One ruler has a car- pet of pearls, eight by ten feet. Maharaja Holkar of Indore has 4 carpet of gold in his throne room and tall gold chairs. The Gaekwar (Prince) of Baroda's treasure in- cludes gun-carriages and cannons of gold. White bullocks, with silver- capped horns and brocaded trap- pings, convey these cumbersome carriages through the streets in of- ficial parades. “Until a few years ago the ruler of Bhopal was a woman, the Begum. Bhopal is a Mohammedan state and its woman ruler made pilgrimages to Mecca, and also visited England There she was protected from ‘in- fidel' eyes by an enveloping cape which gathered around her head, 'S. & F.

Sweets and Smokes Via Train “Perhaps the most novel banquet table in India is that of the Mahara- ja of Indore. A miniature landscape of flowers and trees illuminated by , revolving colored balls adorns the table. A tiny electric train runs around its edge on a small track The train contains seven coaches, one each for carrying brandy, port, sweets, nuts, chocolates, cigars and cigarettes. At the end of the meal. the Maharaja starts the train by pressing a button at his place, and it stops automatically at the slight- est touch of a guest who wishes to make his selection. “The Nizam of Hyderabad, the ranking Mohammedan prince of In- dia and probably its riches ruler, has the largest harem in India. His household, including all retainers, numbers 7,000, Hyderabad was once |known as Golconda, a famous mar- ket for diamonds in ancient days, and the Nizam's personal collection of jewels is worth millions of dol- lars. Colorful Courts of Indian Princes “Although lacking in quality and quantity of jewels, the retainers of the rajahs, in their voluminous tur- bans and richly colored coats, are almost as picturesque as their rul- ers. Corps of nautch girls wear for- tunes in heavy gold ornaments, and ar: pictures in their brilliantly hued skirts and pastel tinted saris. Even the elephants of state take to color and jewelry. Their tusks are cut off and bound with brass rings. In some states they are provided with solid gold ankle bands, and arc tattoed with shawl effect on their forheads and ears. One ruler has a solid gold pavilion mounted on the back of his favorite clephant, and others gild ’tllene howdahs and hang them with lgorgrous trappings and tapestry {curtains. “The Maharana of Udaipur has some famous dancing horses.

These dancing {horses are popular and may be ,found in the stables of many of the Indian Princes. “Despite the enormous wealth of the princes and other potentates of India the masses of the people live in poverty. The average individual income of India's 300,000,000 peopls is estimated at less than the equiva- lent of $25 annually. British rul: has brought two blessings to India, the building of railroads which avert the regional famines which, in the past, dealt death to thous- ands, and protection of her north- west border against invasion by ma- rauding tribesmen." Firemen’s Off Platoon Need Not March May 30 Because the platcon of firemen which will be off duty Memorial day will complete a stretch of 24 hours of duty at ¢ o'clock on that morn- ing, they have been excused from participation in the parade as a umt but have been urged, if possible, to take part, marching with the i- vision set aside for city officials and employes. The uniformed firemen have made a striking appearance in the parades of other years and were invited 1o take part again this year. Mem- bers of the memorial committee agreed that it would be unfair to the men to order them out as a unit, but have expressed a hope that many will fiad it out. After completing their long day at 7 a. m., the platoon, if un- der orders to parade, would be 1c- quired to report at 9:30 o'clock, march from 10 to 12:30 and then rc- turn to their homes, reporting again for duty at 6 o'clock. This would allow the men less than six free hours out of 36.
