The Evolution Of As Empire The siructure of the British Empire and the conception of empire enter- tained by the British people, both at home and abroad, has long been a puzzle to other nations and peoples. With the exception of the British themselves, peopie have been unable, as a rule, to harmonize the idea of several nations, independent, constituting a compact and united Empire. Possibly nowhere in the world was there a more mistaken conception of the unity and strength of the British Empire entertained than in Germany prior to 1914. Intelligent and presumably well informed German writers confidently predicted that the first serious war in which Great Britain was involved would be a signal for Canada, Australia and South Africa to throw off what they termed "the British yoke." Equally confident were the pre- 'dictions that India would blaze into revolt; that Irishmen would rebel almost to a man, and that Egypt would quickly drive the British there into the sea. The loosely constituted British Empire would, they declared, quickly fall to pieces. : But the Great War had not really begun before it became manifest to the world that the British Empire was one and indivisible, many times stronger and more united than any of the empires of old held together by force and Breat armies. Instead of repudiating their allegiance to the British crown, Canada and Australia poured out their wealth and their manhood voluntarily and enthusiastically in support of their common Empire. The few discon- tented ones in South Africa were quickly quelled, and South Africa proceed- ed to render equally valuable aid to the Empire. India provided hundreds of thousands of soldiers and untold wealth, and brought about the downfall of Turkey in Mesopotamia and Palestine. The Irish, as usual, contributed many of the most valiant soldiers in the British armies. : With' the ending of the war, the peaceful evolution of the British Em- pire proceeds apace. By the free act of the British Governmnt and Parlia- [Ireland is constitutd a Free State within the Emnvire; tha-nrots ; : ' : a 1 ; Pharoa 1 step the rights and powers of self-govern- of exercising those rights and powers. Some unthinking people who fail to understand the genius of British administration profess to see in these things a gradual weakening of the Em- pire. They are sadly mistaken. These developments are signs of the strength of the Empire, not of any inherent weakness, and as time passes each of these units in the great British commonwealth of nations will give added strength and power to what is today the most powerful international force in existence, and the greatest stabilizing force in the world today. Many nations have yet to learn that the extension of-the liberties of the subject make for increased loyalty and, therefore, national strength, while policies of repression and coercion but add fuel to the flames of discontent, and, if persisted in, must inevitably end in disaster. The British way is the human way, the commonsense way, the Christian way. One unit in this great British family of nations may find if necessary, in working out its own development and advancing its own welfare, to adopt,' sav a tariff against the products of one of its sister nations, and the world at once interprets this as a weakening in the links that bind the Empire to- gether. But not so. If the adoption of such a policy is found essential to the upbuilding of a particular part of the Empire, and adds to the strength of that part, then the whole Empire is made stronger. But should the right to take such action be denied to any part, not only would that part be crip- ness and menace to the whole. Kipling voiced a great truth when he wrote "Daughter am I in my mother's house - But mistress in my own." This is the relationship which exists throughout the civilized world in It exists just as truly in the family of nations. = The British have recognized the fact, and are acting upon it, with the result that the Empire is steadily growing in strength and true greatness and in unity of spirit and purpose. ft seems to have been given to the British people to step into the new and unpeopled portions of the earth, and into some of the older but less en- lightened eountries, and establish order and good government, provide mod- ern means of communication and education, and then, when the people have advanced far enough, to entrust them with the direction of their own affairs. And every step taken-in the carrying out of this great British policy may well be welcomed. Hach such step is an evidence, not of British decay, but of British greatness and strength. & uy Diamond Ware or Pearl Ware kitchen uten- sils and save work.

The agents of the Cheka could not make out his profession, but released him against payment of a fine of 1,000,000 roubles. Then af- ter a week or so, they thought better of it and arrested the man again, de- manding a fine of two millions. It was paid immediately. This astn- ished the authorities, and a few days later the unhappy millionaire found himself again in prison. A ransom of five millions was demanded. The victim asked for two days' delay, ond on the third day brought the quantity of paper demanded. Two weeks later he was again ar- rested and ordered to produce ten millions. He asked for two weeks io produce the sum. He was given only a week, after which he again appear- ed, bringing the bale of paper roubles. Two sturdy indiviluails carried in after him a heavy box. "Here are your ten millions," declar- ed the extraordinary individual, 'but I have brought also the printing press. You can continue yourselves." This ancedote is typical of the gtate of the Russian currency. Beggars in the street insult you if you offer them 100 roubles, and the tram conductors accumulate small fortunes collecting fhe money which passengers have let drop and do not think it worth while to pick up. » Looking from one lofty mountain range across to another, enormous distances may be spanned.

Yet, the making of a couple of loaves of bread is far less complicated than the making of even a simple cake. Suppose you {ry to make a couple of loaves. You will want two tin loaf-pans. These will cost about fifteen cents each. You will like to have a large mixing bowl and the usual half-pint measuring cup and standard tea and tablespoons. In using yeast, follow directions. Remember that yeast is a plant. In order to live and grow it requires food, air, heat, moisture. Like the mushroom, it requires no light. In growing, yeast gives off bubbles of gas, and this gas makes the bread rise. If you pour boiling water on your cake of yeast instead of the luke- warm water the recipe calls for, vou will kill it just as surely as you would kill a delicate little fern. And once killed, it will not make the bread rise. To make two loaves of white bread, into the mixing bowl put one level teaspoon of salt, the same quantity of sugar and half a tablespoon of but- ter or lard. - Pour half a cup of hot water over these ingredients. When the butter is melted, pour in half a cup of cold water. Stir half a cake of compressed yeast in two tablespoons of lukewarm water until it may be poured. Test the liquid in You are very charitable. TNE ; Mr. R. H.

If right in fem- perature, add the yeast mixture. Then beat in enough flour to make a batter. Beat this for several minutes to help incorporate the air necessary for the growth of the yeast. Then add enough more flour to make a dough Toss on a lightly floured board, and with floured hands knead in enough flour so that when the dough is press- ed in with the finger it quickly re- bounds, as does a rubber ball. Rough- ly, about three minutes' kneading will be required for this quantity. About one-fourth cup of flour will be requir- ed for kneading in after the dough is on the board. ; Run the water over the dough ball for a second and then place it back in the mixing bowl. Set the bowl into a dish pan of warm water and place a clean, warm cloth over all. Liet rise either over night or about seven hours during the day. Then reknead, shape into loaves and place in well greased pans. Let rise in a warm--not hot--place for about half an hour. Bake in a hot oven about forty-five minutes, turning the loaves frequently so that they may brown evenly. Greasing over the top of the loat before baking aids in giving the much desired crisp, brown crust. The first mixing takes about ten minutes after one has a little prac- tice, and the second kneading and shaping takes about five minutes.
