room. She learned his tad story

ed prayers, Of eight long. yeers in
that eternal darkness that knows no
ending.
He saw the trees and the flowers
and the blue sky once, but that was
years ago and he has forgotten. He
was as happy and as care-free as his
playmates and companions until the
hand of Fate was passed across his
eyes, shutting out the light forever.
Fer a time, when he was able to find
his way about in the darkness, he
left his nome and went into the
streets and yards to play with the
other children. Tut soon they began
to taunt him because of his affliction.
They jeefed and sneered and called
him name:, and plagued him until it
seemed that the whole world, which
he could not see, was against him.
Then began that long period of
practically solitary confinement. His
mother, fearing some harm would
come to him at the hands of the
children he thought were his friends,
took him indoors and kept him there.
And so he sat by the window and list
ened to the glad shouts of his play
mates and drank in the perfume OF
the flowers-and waited. Then the
little woman found him. Every oppor-
tunity to make his way despite his
sightless eyes is to be offered him,
and he can win the silent battle
against the world if he makes the best
of them.

That the 7. X. X. Will INN ediate!y
place more steamers on the Japan and
San Francisco run now that the Amer
lean coastwise shipping Law has been
suspended is an opinion expressed by
Gait c. kametaka, commander OF an
Oriental liner in port today.
He thinks though that it will be as
late as April OF next year before any
OF tie combined passenger and freight
steamers now being constructed will
be ready for this service. In the
meantime he expects the company viii
charter more freighters for use in tins

part, he says, and that he will not be
fully informed until he reaches Japan.
Asked what the T. X. X liners
could give Honolulu in passenger ser.

he replied that at present II was prob
able such vessels as the Nippon and
Persia would have accommodations

TWOSFEAMERS
Taking STEEL,
iron TOJAPAN

Japan has been successful in getting
concessions made to her under the
provisions of the embargo on exports
from the United States OF steel and
iron as is shown by the cargo lists OF
two transpaeific steamers in port to-
day Out of total cargo of 2245 tons,
the T X X. steamer has aboard 50
sheets Of steel plate and SS4 sheets Of
iron.
The ships manifest gives the treas
IRE aboard as something over 700
packages, which is estimated to con
tain as much as 100000 in silver.
There is also some gold aboard. This
steamer had also IL packages o: gener-
al cargo which was carried for Homo
lulu and $50 bags of mail.
The Dutch steamer in port is also
carrying steel and iron to Japan. Her
cargo of this metal. so badly needed
in Japan for ship construction work,
amounts to 5000 tons Of steel and iron.
These are the first steamers to take
through licensed steel. iron, gold and
silver exports since the embargo Went
into effect.
Lessening of the embargo restric-
tons favorable to Japan is considered
one of the most important accomplish
ments Of the Ishii mission.

When recall sounded al noon today
at the SCboiield training camp II cad
ed what may well be termed the most
important week of the season. for
II has been a week which represent.
ed the turning point III style OF work
for the young officers.
In il has come the first concerted
movement toward the campaign OF
field training. The men began to leave
the routine OF bayonet and rifle drill
or Of close order work and branched
off into open order, field problems
and combat exercises.
Setting up exercises which formerly
consisted Of expanding chests at reg
ular intervals and swinging arms in
rythm have come TO include more VIC.
lent work with plenty OF running as
side line.
And the men are coming TO realize
more and more the necessity of as
sorting their individual powers OF
leadership and aggresSlyeness If they
are going to make good and be among
these who can look back upon the
camp as the place that gave them
their commissions.
Setting up exercises have taken half
an hour each morning during the
week, bayonet drill has been given
consistently every day and the dunn
mics that hang in bayonet drill
grounds have received some heavy
trCuncings.
One of the interesting features of
the week has been practise with the
standard so centimeter Bausch and
Lomb range finder. In addition to
this the men have Seen drilled in
estimating distances.
At first there were some wild
guesses at ranges that ran anywhere
from 400 to $500 yards, but it was not
long until the rockies had trained
their eyes to know the difference
between a meter and a mile.
Extended order with and without
arms has also kept the candidates
guessing, for they were given prob
lens on which they must decide in
good season and work out their own
salvation in the deciding. Hypotheti-
cal enemies from Waialua to Maka-
pun point were met and slaughtered
by the valiant Leilehuans.
On Tuesday morning the entire
company was lined up and given a
thorough examination for tuberculosis
and this morning all went again to
the hospital for their third and last
dose of typhoid vaccine.

For eight years his mother has
kept him within the narrow confines
of a tenement room She fears that
liz she lets him go out Of doors the
other children might tease him and
poke fun at him as they did before
she took him inside to begin his lone
" vigil at the window. He does not
know the beauty of the big outside
world. Perhaps he did at one time
but that was long, long ago and he has
forgotten. He cannot revel in the
myriad hues of Hawaii's beautiful
flowers, but can only breathe their
perfume as it drifts in through the
window. He is blind.
But he has been found, and now is
to be helped to find himself. The
eight long years in the tenement room
may have been bitter; they may have
been pleasant in some respects, for he
has had a mothers care. Yet. a
mothers ignorance, perhaps, may be
to blame for his weary wait for some.
thing better. If patience conquers all
things, as the saying goes, this young
boy has won notable victory, and
one which has many pleasant things
in store for him.
There is 4 little woman in Homo
lulu who is always helping someone,
either directly or indirectly. She
visits juvenile court now and then
to champion some youngster, or some
institution, and her arguments are
pretty nearly always conclusive. She
generally wins. Her name? That
would be divulging a secret. She
does not crave publicity, ne"er asks
for it, does not want it. But the
blind boy knows who she is. She
came into his life one day bringing
hope and cheer, and took him into her
confidence and told him of some of
the better things that lie waiting for

A "eood lime" Necessary.

Do not refuse your growing boy or girl legitimate pleasures Young folks who are "kept down" do not stay there long. Encourage your boy or girl to have a good time in the right way, and know who his or her chums are Invite these chums to your home, and let the young folks sing and play and have a good time together. Boys and girls between fifteen and twenty need looking after, and a good mother means more to young folks between those years than all the rest of the world combined.
