. xiciit. Here than three times the
size of ttje present French ‘empire/

i,ext grisliest empire of modern times,

i’orlonu of the British empire are
strewiun and between the oceans of

the south coast of Arabia. From the
Kurla Muria Islands, which mark ap
proximately its eastern' limit to the

only 700 miles.
"India forms a land bridge for near

Australia
Isolated.
“To reach isolated Australia by
thousand-mile sUpc cn British terri
lory the giant pedestrian would have
to make use of. tiny (hri-tnias Island
about 800 miles south of Singapore.
The distance from there to the nearest
point In Australia could be covered
by a single 1,OOfi-mil'' ‘step.’
“From eastern A; r-tralln a 1,000-

easternmost outpost among tic- unit
of tho British empire that are closely
connected with one another. East and
northeast is a vast expanse of the
Pacific without Islands. To the south
east, where a halting Island bridg.
exists, many of the islands are in pos
session of France. This lark of lir-it
ish islands In the eastern Pacific is
strikingly shown by the fact that tho
British tranH-Pacific cable extends un
der water from Fanning Island to
Canada, a distance of 3,158 miles, llo
longest stretch of unrelayed cable In
the world. Beyond the Pacific breach
lies Canada, the greatest of the em

“The British empire is in a sense
not nn empire at all. Them Is no
'empercr of the British Dominions,
only an 'Emperor of India;' hut by
common usage the great group of do
minions, possessions and protecto
rates has come to be called 'the em
pire.'
"The empire is made up of strik
ingly different units. At one end or
the scale are the self-governing, re
sponsible ' Dominions—Canada, Aus
tralia, Now Zealand, New Foundland
and South Africa—which function
much as they please under a governor-
general who does not govern and a
royal veto which Is never exercised.
At the other end are crown colonies,
such as British Honduras and the
Gold Coast, which nre governed en
tirely by officials appointed in Lon
don; Egypt, which Is under a single
high commissioner; North Borneo,
which Ib administered by a trading
; company; protectorates such as Zan
/.ihar and Uganda, which are undei
only tenuous control; and the settle

Provides Endowment
Bill For Motherhooc
When you go to buy a pair of be ots, a can of peas or
a kitchen cabinet, do you know exactly what you want—
or do you “shop around” and take pot luck?
You can save many an hour's time—and many a
good hard dollar—by knowing beforehand what you
want, where to get it, and approximately how much it
will cost. : i H J
You can always know this much before you enter
a store.
If it’s clothing, you know how well it should wear
and what the style should be. If it’s a musical instrument,
you know what to expect in tone and workmanship. If
it's a carpet sweeper, you know what kind of service it
should give. , i D ? 1 *;
Merchants with established reputations for honesty
are the best with whom to deal.
Merchandise with established reputation is the best

The only way to be sure of the goeds you buy is to

practice it's far better than rummaging around.
