through either for lack of parental
or professional approval.
First she thought she would try
the stage and then the movies
claimed her attention. For the
latter, it ,is reported. she was told
that a loss OF 20 pounds would
probably make her eligible. But
to lose this number Of pounds
would not be so easy for Bessie, for
her size is not in very reducible
terms since her frame is large.
Bessie's next interest was in
ministering to the dwellers OF
Labrador under the direction Of
the famous DIR. Wiifred GrenfeIl,
the English doctor, who has done
% much for the people in that part
of the world. But for some reason

AROUND THE CLOCK
 WITH THE BRITISH
The Sun Never Sets on Its
 DOIniniOnS

Washington, Dec. 17 (R = King George V of England will drop q link of his long title. if the recom- mendation of the London Imperial conference of leading statesmen in Britain's dominions is accepted.
 King Georges title is: George (Erederick Ernest AlberD V. by the Grace of God. of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions be- yond the Seas King. Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.'
 It is suggested that "the United kingdom,' be dropped. because of gthe new status of Ireland. outside Ulster. The Irish Free State has taken it's place in the massive Brit ish empire in position like that of the Dominion Of Canada, so ''the United Kingdom" in the title Is con- sidered misleading.
 A Protean Territory
 What is the British empire?." Is the question answered In the follow ing bulletin from the Washington, D. C.. headquarters of the National Geographic society.
 Tt Is more than 1n5 separate gov- ernmental units. It is a quarter of the land surface of the world. It Is q quarter of the population of the world-the estimate is 400,000,000. The British empire Is 5S millions of Christians, 94 millions of Moham- medans, POS millions of Hindus and s millions of pagans and others.
 "Geogra phically the British empire is many different things in so many different places; a coral atoll here, q dominion there, a cable station, a mandated district, ward of a savage people, or a coaling station-so that 1t cannot write its government in round hard words such as are found in the constitution of the United States
 While it Is winter in one-half of the British empire, 1t is summer in the other half, because the land area i. almost equally distributed be- tween the southern and northern hemispheres. This means that the crops of one-half the empire can feed the other half while its fields lie dormant under the snow. Almost every kind of soil every kind of climate, and every kind of mineral are found in the British empire England is the empires coal bin. Canada Its wheat elevator, Australia its packing plant the Malay states the empires rubber tree, South Africa its gold end diamond mines. and so on. The worlds highest mountains and three of the greatest rivers, the Nile. the Ganges, and the Zambezi are in the empire.
 Whence Its Name
 But for it's name, its royal fam fly. and its foundation stone the British empire has to look beyond it's vast lands. Britain Is name rrobably born among the Basques of Spain or a related tribe. England and English are from the German Angles conquering tribe that in vaded the island. Although the royal family Is now of the House and family of Windsor 1t Is des- cended from royalty of the German

 Queen Elizabeth's first patent to Sir Walter Raleigh permitted Brit ish subjects to accompany him to America, with guarantee of con tinuance of the enjoyment of all the rights which he subjects enjoyed at home The Revolutionary war which America waged to defend that right proved to be war of eman- cipation for all British colonies. The recent declaration of equality be- tween dominions nd England her self is an outgrowth of the guar antee to the American colonies.
