August 5.—The Mahatma Gandhi was considered by British cir cles today to have a great oppor-, tunity for a comeback in the new All-Indian Federation. All Indian parties are looking for ward eagerly to the formation of the federation, being created under au thority of the India law recently en acted by Parliament, for self-govern ment of that ancient land. Offlcials expressed doubt, however, that the wiry little ascetic, who re tired to the background after strug gling long for India’s independence, would re-enter politics. They felt that the Mahatma would press on in his social and economic program for betterment of the masses, but that he would leave political af fairs to others. Another prominent Indian figure— the brilliant Jawaharlal Nehru, now in jail for subversive activities—was expected to seek political power In the new India. Nehru wants a left government, an all-Indian government, with the British kicked out. Strong organizing efforts have yet to be made by Britain to get the new federal system in shape. There are hundreds of languages and dialects, castes and minority (roups, all of which must be welded intc a workable community to enjoy the considerable measure of self-government granted India by the act of Parliament.

BALTIMORE, August 5.— “Sensible” clothing is credited by Ephraim Keyser, 84, dean of Baltimore sculptors, with giving the modern woman the most beautiful feminine figure since the days of ancient Greece. “When women abandoned corsets and heavy underwear, when they stopped tying them selves up in bundles, they per mitted their figures to develop more freely, more naturally," the retired sculptor and lecturer said. “They wear sensible clothes— loose costumes that aid the body in its natural development. I do not call the modern figure the Hollywood figure. It is natural— beautiful.” Mrs. John Pryor Dies.
