Max Starr, Age 17, Has Am- bition to Star in Films London, April 24.--'"Being very big isn't really a disadvantage ex- cept in an omnibus, where I bump my head and get hard looks from the person on the same seat." This is the outlook of Max Starr, of Bow, E., who at the age of 1¢ stands 6 ft. 4 in, in his stockings and turns the scale at 252 1bs.-- and he is still growing. He is a jolly-looking youth, and, as his mother eéxplains, '"'not so much fat as very, very big." "My worst difficulty," explained Max to a reporter, "is with my socks. Boots I can have specially made in size 13, I can manpage to obtain 17% in. collars, and a tailor will make my clothes at special rates, but I have to be content with ordinary socks in number 12. These only last me a day or two, because I wear them into holes, be- ing so tight, and after the first wash they are no good at all. No Worries "But I don't let any of these things worry me. People call me Sunny Jim about here, and'I don't trouble about getting thin. "1 did diet for three days once, but all that happened was that 1 felt very hungry. I haven't any special meals, I just eat anything and everything, and slightly more of it than the average adult. "I would like to go on the films," he added. "Of course, I suppose I should have to be a comedian--but they say I'm very witty. "In fact, I can do anything that other people do except 'touch my toes. "Take girls out? Oh, er, well, no. 'But anyway, I like being big. "I'm always healthy, so it must be natural, I wouldn't be different it I could--especially when watch- ing football matches." "Having so big a boy is a tre- mendous expense," explained Max's mother. "Right from babyhood everything had to be made speci- ally, and when he was only thir- teen he always paid full fare every- where because he was ashamed to * argue with conductors about his e. And now he says that he wants a special bed because the present one is too small." Max holds the local weight rec- ord for his age, but he is still far from rivaling Johnnie Trundley, of Peckham, who was London's "fat boy" 25 years ago. Johnnie at 6 stood 4 ft. high and weighed 140 lbs. He eventually turned the scales at 420 lbs.

X feel that the boasting and jactitation with regard to Empire, which #s such a feature of our na- tional life, is calling upon us God's just pueishment for disregard of the plain teaching of Holy Wri 1a such maiters. During my life there has been an increasing tendency to boastfulmess. We apparently think that the braggart is the man who should rule the world. We fail to perceive that our duty is to pro- duce ordesr and discipline. There is every wmeason to try and purify the Empire from many sing that still defiley its Government. Hng- land used to be progressive, and led the world in enterprise and or- ganization, developed her indus- tries and imcreased her commerce. She is becomming torpid. She ap- peals to the Government to do what individual &d. She used to read her Bible, lteep her Sunday, and lead a Godly and chaste national existence. She is loosing the out- ward signs of religion and gather ing a reputation for unchastity. Surely a great national humiliation is before ust Weakness brings hu- miliation. Homiliation is.the pain ful cure of vamrity. It is because I wish to savethe country I love this painful disciplime that I oppose the CRIGKET ELEVEN MANAGER KNIGHTED Given Recognition for Vic- tory of English Team in Australia London, April 24, -- Frederick Toone, manager of the Marylebone Cricket Club team that toured Aus- tralia recently and won four out of the five test matches, thereby retain- ing the mythical "ashes" for Eng- land, has received 2he honor of knighthood.
