M'TpHEN, Miss Whitman, please con- * sider yourself employed In tbe office," said Doctor Blair on the first of September when he engaged Hortense Whitman, trained nurse, as office assistant. "There's Just one thing," said Hortense. "I shall not ask for any full days off--only if I should be still with you by the fifteenth of April Td like to hare the whole da. off." Doctor Blair studied the nurse as she made this request and for the first time rdfellzed how very young and naive she seemed after the wear and tear of hospital training. "It comes on a Wednesday--* she was continuing. "Oh, that's perfectly all right Here, 111 put It down on my desk pad-- April 15--Day off for Miss W. Birthday, I suppose?" •'Not ray birthday," said Hortense, feeling quite sure that the doctor had asked only out of politeness. The truth was that It was Bobby's Mrthday--and Bohby was her fiveyear- old nephew. It was for the sake of Bobby and because Bobby had lost both father and mother that Hortense Whitman had given up the dream that she might some day be promoted to the position of superintendent of a hospital. Hortense had taken a little flat not far from the doctor's office and she had found a good private school where she made arrangement to have Bobby cared for after school hours until her duties at the doctor's office were over. Once when Bobby had acquired • black eye and another time when he had been rather painfully scalded, It was necessary to consult the doctor. And on these few occasions the doctor had come to know and like the youngster immensely. It was Tuesday, the fourteenth of April. The doctor sat at his desk consulting his engagement pad. "Miss Whitman." he called to Hortense. who was sterilizing some instruments In the little operating room adjoining, "you know you're to have a day off tomorrow. It's the fifteenth." -Is It quite all right?" asked Hortense shyly, coming into the doctor's office. "I don't want to inconvenience you--" "I've made no appointments for tomorrow," said the doctor, "so I shall be able to manage. Of course I shall miss you." He looked intently at Hortense, but she had turned her head, so their eyes did not meet. Hortense had decided to give Bobby the entire day. "Perhaps what Bobby would want to do," thought Hortense, ^*ls very, very different from what I would think he'd want to do." It had not been easy to dltt Into the little five-year-old fbind Just what Hortense meant, but when Bobby did grasp the Idea he made his plans, and until the morning of the fifteenth he refused to tell his aunt what they were. "Now," sa?d Bobby, Jumping up and doDra with glee as Hortense washed up the dishes afteV breakfast. "Now the party's coming, ton don't know, do you? I told Doctor Blair he mustn't say one weeny word about It Bobby giggled and danced absurdly. Hortense would have tried to force further explanation, but the bell of their little apartment door rang. Quickly she went to the door, opened it and there stood face to face with Doctor Blair. "Are you ready for the partyT" asked the doctor. Hortense protested and tried to get an explanation, but the doctor gave her five minutes to dress fur the ntreet and then fairly carried her and llolthy out of the fiat down the stslrs Into • comfortable and roomy car that was waiting. "Where shall we go?" Doctor Wslf asked Bobby before giving Ills UI Motions to the chauffeur, "Way out Went." ordered "Out where there lire Indians." The doctor Ntiflnl a laugh aM looked seriously Into llnhhy'i "We won't be able to see Nil* III dlans, but we'll go .luat as far SS#»I as we can to aee Imijiins, we can v« Im a circus this afternoon. They liuvs isst Indians there." "But how did-* TOO koowr •sk«4 Hortense. "Bobby told me," said the doctor, "He said you told him he could do just what he pleased and that what hs wanted to do was to have a picnic with me along." "But we cai.'t go--it was very rude of Bohby--" stammered Hortense. "But you promised Bobby you'd do anything lie wanted on his birthday?" Insisted the doctor. So they went as far west as the morning would permit, lunched In tlm$ to aee the Indians. It was on the homeward trip from 1 the circus when Bobby had gone to sleep between Hortense and the doctor that his hand slipped over that of the little nurse as It rested on Bobby's shoulder. ••Mayn't we go on--sharing Bobby as we have today?" he asked looking eagerly at Hortense. "You know I've been In love with you from the first--" fHow could I have guessed It?" ahe< asked In surprise, and then, as the doctor looked pleadingly In her eyes-- "And this was the birthday Bobby planned. I suppose he wants me to!" HAWAIIAN FISH GODS STILL HOLD POWER •fci Ancient Form of Worship Adhered to on Honolulu.--Ancient "fish gods* of Hawaii still retain theif power to aid or hinder fishermen, according to the beliefs of many Hawaiian and Oriental followers of the Waltonic art Though Hawaii has been for more than one hundred years nominally Christian, any old resident can point out the hidden fish altars and relate that they are still used. An unbeliever In this ancient magic recently visiting tbe Kohala coast of Hawaii, where the old customs linger to a greater extent than iq many parts of the islands, relates that three schools of akule, a popular food fish, were sighted near the mouth of Knpanaia bay. A fishing "hul" or association from the neighboring port of Kawaihae came with its nets and surrounded a portion of the school. Two men, one a Chinese, the other a Hawaiian, took up a lease on the land through whteh all vehicles must pass to. and from the fishing ground and warned all fish venders that one sack of fish would be levied upon each car going through the gate with fish tor sale. • People from all parts of the neighborhood approached the shore with bags for the akule, as the fishermen prepared to bring the fish In. Prospects were for a huge catch. But the old Chinese toll taker looked on with disgust. "No good,* he said. "No can catch. He no give aktia some fish." The fishermen maneuvered until they had a much larger school surrounded, In combination with the first The people shouted in glee. But suddenly the akule broke loose, left the net and headed for the open sea. No fish were caught. The fishermen had neglected to lay offerings before the rough stone "akuah," the fish gods of the place.

In 1926 and 1927 the number of Illiterates included in the recruiting classes was 59,000 and 54,- (MX> respectively," the council states, adding: "While education Is compulsory in Japan, there are many of the natives, who, for economic reasons or official carelessness, evade the law and do not attend school long enough to master the rudiments of character writing. Most of this evasion is found in the rural regions among folk far removed from the government schools. This situation Is being relieved by the extension of home study programs for these i»eople." yjl h • 5jNS; ,v-; >" -'J J vi TO A GREAT SUCCESS i.' i; fiag to Old Methods iecause his ancestors hau no Wfeftef-" barrows in -vhieh to carry their loads,1 the modern Egyptian farmer still lugs'; dirt and fertilizer for his crops In baskets, refusing to adopt up-to-date tools and methods.
