Soon after this interview Gandhi was re-
leased from Jail when he announced that he
intended to go on 21-day fast. He carried
it out at the luxurious home of Lady Thack-
cray in Calcutta.
THERE he said: II told her (Nila Cram
Cook she had done irreparable damage to
the faith she had adopted. She was injuring
the cause of untouchability and corrupting the
morals Of the youth around her.
MY workers must lead unasSailable lives.
Cases of shocking spiritual impurity have come
to my notice. My fast will be an appeal to
such persons to leave the cause alone"
Contrary to the fears of many of his friends,
Ganohi survived his long period of starvation
only to be jailed again little later and to
start another spectacular fast. Mia Cram
Cook is reported to have had her luxurious
brunette locks shorn in a further effort toward
expiation and complete publication
Mia Cram Cook comes by her desire to live
the mystic life naturally enough. Not only

imbued with mystic eanings
With her father she Travelled to Providence
to Greenwich Village and finally to Greece,
where he and Susan Glaspell. his third wife
sought to establish a community based the
Grecian manners of $500 years ago. But
Jig Cook remained unhappy and died in
1924 at Delphi.
Susan Glaspell returned to America. But
Mia determined on foreswearing the pleasures OF
this world and joining the movement for the
liberation Of India. She had married young
Greek aristocrat and borne him baby son.
Suddenly she left her husband in Greece
resumed her maiden name and took her baby
with her to India. She had lived in a convent
many months to prepare herself for the life
of asceticism, sacrifice and service as one OF
Gandhi's sisterhood. 1t was a step that sur
passed the efforts even of her father.
She declared, 1T Is for the ideals OF Gandh1

Mira Bal which means Hindoo goddess and
sister, took the VOWS of truth, non violence,
celibacy apd non possession in 1925. when she
was 80. Born to the pleasures Of wealthy
Mayfair society," this tall Englishwoman had
read Roman Rolland's book on Gandhi and
had become infatuated with his personality and
ideas.
Mira-Bai served her probation period we'll
and spent most Of her time at Gandhis side,
acting as his housekeeper, nurse and secre-
tary making his simple food washing his
clothes, dressing in white draperies and san
dals with a Hindu shawl over her close
cropped head.
Mia Cram Cook found 1t more difficult to
live up to the stringent precepts of Gandhi.
On December 81. 1881, her 22d birthday. she
immersed herself in the Ganges to become
baptized
Soon after she was admitted to the Arya
Samaj sect by exception which was made
in her case by the Brahmin priests. who ruled
that she had lived in India tens of thousands
Of years ago in another incarnation and had
strayed only temporarily from the spiritual
realm.
Later Mia Cook prepared by special prayers,
fasting and meditation to serve the greatest
spiritual figure in the world today"
She ceded her property to her 3-year-old
son.
She made a misstep by entering a Hindu
temple at Dwarka attired in her Greek robes.
The worshipers elected her. saying she had
polluted it because she had been born q
Christian. They purified their temple ~ =
ceremony which lasted "a hours and cost SIS.
Back to Kashnir went Mia to write a book
about the unconventional and eventful life
which she was leading and to introduce spin.
ming and weaving among the Sisters Of Charity
and the Indian peasants.
Last year Mia wrote to Gandhi telling him
she would join him in his next fast for the
"untouchabes"
White castles in America may open their
hearts to downtrodden Negroes" she told him.
He asked her not to join him, but invited her
to visit him.
h lila COOK then became q street cleaner IN
] Y Bangalore. joining with the students from
the Mysore University who took brooms and
baskets to clean the streets. This part
Of the fight for the ''untouchables," showing
the dignity Of labor and proving that life
would be happier and children would be
healthier If each cleaned his own neighbor-
hood as well as his home and his body.
Then in the late Spring came the news Of
Mia Cram Cooks extra vagance and worldli-
ness" She admitted the accusation. Ap-
parently she still had plenty of money and
spent too much of it on robes, sandals and
other ffivolities, which we of the West do not
consider wrong Apparently she also did not
lead the life which Gandhi expected of her.
But she declared her repentance and her de-
sire for complete publication. Whether q
beautiful, young, vigorous American girl can
succeed in living the life which Mia Cram
Cook has chosen remains to be seen.

BUYING LEGISLATION BY CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS

The practice of corporation officials OF resort
ing to indefensible methods to secure the cleo
ton Of state officers who in turn will favor leg
i%slation for the financial benefit Of the corpora
tons, is revealed in the Senate investigation Of
alleged violation Of Federal laws in the election
OF United States Senator John Fl. Overton Of
Louisiana.
According to press reports @. the inquiry, S.
d.. Hunter of Shreveport, a gas and oil well cap
italist, opposed to the election Of Overton, adj
mitted on the witness stand that he contributed
$4,000 to the campaign fund Of Dudley lie
Blanc, one of the candidates for governor, be-
cause lie Blanc had agreed if elected, to amend
the Severance tax which was a financial burden
to Hunters oil and gas interests.
Hunter also admitted that the International
Gas Products Co., of which he was a large stock
holder, had been fined $1,000 for stealing gas
by a process known as meter Jumping
Hunter claimed he knew nothing about the gas
stealing and experienced a "shock" when he
heard OF it. He also said the company demanded
meter trick plead guilty personally and pay a
fine. OF course the layman is inclined to draw
the conclusion that no junior executive would
resort to meter Jumping for the benefit of the
corporation which employs him without a sug-
g%estion along that line from higher officials.
Evidently Louisiana needs more stringent cleo
ton codes against corrupt political practices as
well as higher standards of business practices by
corporation officials.
