Out of 970O members of munlclpal com mittees nearly 90 per cent are Indians In rural districts the proportion of ln- dians on the local bodies is even greater.
 ''In these and many other ways the people of India take large, actlVe anu part in public affairs and Tn the making of the laws under Which they live Although the government may De called a bureaucracy. or government py officials, it should be remembered that the vast majority of the officials are ln- dtans themselves. Indians are found al most exclusively in the lower ranks or the service while in the higher ranks the proportion of Indians continues stead fly to increase. It should be realized that the responsibilities and duty of offlcers in each of these services are considerable
 There have long been Indian members on the council of the secretary of state in London, and on the executive coun- cils of the local governments in India.

JAP RAILWAYS ID BE MADE STANDARD Gauge to Be Changed From
 Narrow to Broad

Tokio, May -(Correspondence of the Associated Press. s.)-Japan will probably decide to change her main railroad sys- tenn from a narrow to a broad gauge. The present gauge of three feet and six inches was adopted when the first line was built in Japan, but experience has demonstrated the wisdom of widening 1t to the standard broad gauge such as op- tains in the United States. For one thing it will permit of greater speed, and for another it will be more useful as means of communication in connection with na- tionai defense in time of war
 Especially is the change desired Tn the

New Sleeping Car Berths

From Popular Mechanics
 The embarrassing inconveniences com monly experienced in a sleeping car are done away with in a recently patented sleeper The car provides all berths with room in which the passenger may stand up right while dressing or undressing. The portion of the mattress and spring under each pillow is made separate from the rest and so hinged to the end of the berth that it can be turned up out of the way. In the lower berth this leaves space at the head of the bed which the passenger can enter by opening the hinged end of the seat: here he can dis robe while standing upright and hang his clothes. full length at the end of the hinged section which does not extend quite to the side of the car. When un- dressed he gets into bed and then turns down the hinged section and puts the pillow in place. The upper berth is ar ranged similarly, the head being at the opposite end. Over the foot of the lower berth hangs narrow platform, incosed except at the aisle end, to which the up- per-berth passenger easily mounts by opening the hinged end of the seat and using step supplied by the porter.

Youthful, Beautiful
 Skin Easy to Have

You may be as healthy as a bird in the air and still have poor complexion Changing seasons and temperatures, winds, dust and dirt, are apt to injure any skin, even though the general health be good. When these external influences spoil the complexion, the natural thing is to remove the spoil by external means. Ordinary mercolized wax will do this. It will actually ab- sorb the weather -soiled film skin, a little each day. In a week or two you'll have a brand new complexion. a new skin. The exquisitely beautiful and youthful complexion thus acquired. comes so easily, without harm or dis comfort, there's no reason why. any woman should not adopt this simple Urea atment Get an ounce of mercolized wax at any drug store, apply. nightly like cold cream, washing it off morn ings This will not fail in any case.

It is planned to inaugurate the tremendous task ln- volved by widening the gauge on the main trunk line which connects Tokio with Shimonoseki a distance of about Soo miles, This is the line which connects with Corea and the Siberian railroad to Europe The reconstruction expense for this line covering a period of 12 years, is estimated at 297, GOO yen or about $14S, ,5OO, GOO.

DEVELOPMENT MARKED

"The development in this respect has been especially marked since the consti- tGtional reforms of 1909 associated with the names of Lord Morley and Lord Minto. By these reforms the legislative councils of India, of which there are now 10 Gone attached to the central govern ment and one to each of the big prov inces) were greatly enlarged and their functions materially extended. The size Of the councils was nearly trebled In place of 8 elected members there are now more than TO, and whereas the electorates of the old councils had only the right to recommend the candidate of their choice for appointment by the head of the gov ernment, an elected member of the new council sits as of right
 Not only are administrative bodies per mitted to elect representatives to the councils, but the privilege has been grant ed also to the land-holding and commer- cial communities, to the universities and to special Mohammedan electorates. Un der the old regulations officials were in a majority in every council; now there must be a nonofficial majority in all of the provincial councils, while in Bengal and Bihar-Orissa the elected members are in a majority over official and nomi- mated nonofficial members combined. In the vieeroy's council an official majority is retained.
 The legislative councils are no longer confined to making laws. Members now have a voice in settling the budget of the year, not merely criticizing it after it has been settled: they have the right of putting questions to the executive gov ernment and they can move resolutions matters of public interest In all these ways the legislative council exercises a great and salutary influence on the gen eral administrations
 Within the last few months the h. dian government has accepted and acted upon resolutions brought forward by dis tinguished Indian nonofficial members of council on questions of great importance including the matter of the abolition of the system of indentured emigration from India, and the representation of India at the imperial conference. These two in- stances show how real and effective is the influence of the legislative council as an organ of public opinion.
 The sphere of influence which local self-government affords is still wider. Local and municipal boards and corpora tions, constituted on a representative basis and exercising self-governing pow CTS, cover the country in network. While these bodies are not free from public con- trol, the policy is to relax it as the level of public morality and public spirit rises. as it undoubtedly is rising.
