The luau and the hula are the other
distinctive features of May day. The
luau is the sumptuous banquet which
tops off the days festivities.
Luaus are held out of doors and
feature such native dishes as poi (one-
finger and two-flnger), pork, squid,
octopus, raw and cooked fish, eel, kukui
nuts and'oth delicacies.
Poi is the strangest dish for the
uninitiated. 1t is made of the pounded
roots of taro plants and is always
eaten with the fingers. "One-fnger
poi Is about the thickness of bread
dough, while the "two-fingered poi" is
more the consistency of paperhangers'
paste. To attempt to swallow poi
with table implement would be just
about as incorrect as to eat peas with
your knife.
The cooked food takes many hours
to prepare in the linus. These are
underground ovens heated by stones
that have been placed in hot fires.
Whole pigs are roasted by being filled
with the hot stones then wrapped in
II or banana leaves.
Every one, including the cooks, joins
in the hulas while the luau is being
made ready in the imu. Successfully
the performers (and every native
knows the hula) sway in the rhythmic
ceremonial dance handed down from
the early Polynesians. Voices join
with the ukuleles and steel guitars
In the ancient songs, many Of which
were first put into written form by
Liliuokalani, last of the Hawaiian
royal rulers, and the only Queen to be-
come q citizen Of the United States.

From dawn until long after dusk

An added attraction of the Lei day
festivities this year will be the re-

Of the riotous profusion Of flowers
that will glorify May day. There
will be dances about Maypoles in the
same fashion as in England and main
land United States, with floral strands
winding In and out.
Even the automobiles. street cars,
public buildings and homes will be
festooned with delicately scented buds.
The night-blooming cereus, the poin-

with the pink and golden shower trees,

The War Department is assisted
in carrying on the c. M. T. c. work
by . national, non political civilian
agency known as the Military Train

ton sponsored the creation OF the
camps under provision Of the national
defense act Of 1920.
The association was formed in 1916
by the graduates Of Plattsburg and
other civilian camps throughout the
country, under the stimulation OF
approaching war. In 19l7-18, at the
request Of the Government. the as
sociation assisted In the selection Of
nearly 100000 men for the commits
stoned personnel Of the national Army.
Since that time the association has
obtained from many States and local
boards Of education school credit for
camp attendance; on its invitation.
colleges and universities have offered
scholarships; through its local COM
mittees it has obtained prizes which
are offered to trainees for military
and athletic competitions. In many
other ways the association promotes
the comfort and stimulates the inter-
est of young men during the month
Of voluntary training each year.
During the past Is years there has
been . total enrolment Of 482, ,195
young men in the c. M. T. c., while
applications for training have totaled
952,659. The number Of applications
reached . maximum Of LOG, 1884 in 1888,
dropping to . little more than half that
total in 1896, because Of the fact that
in 1888 the War Department was
able to accept only 1886 applicants.

there was little market for their

the policy of wearing leis to their
meetings while the strike was on, and
several benefit entertainments were
given to tide them over until better
times came.
THE price of leis is ridiculously low,
measured by standards in con.

~ just che crisis after another
On July II gleefully wrote in my
diary that the five little girls had
broken another record of medical his
tory by living longer than any single
member of a quintuplet birth had
ever lived before them.
Three days later I made the fol-
lowing entry:
July 20. Marie has red mark
on her leg-quite raised, about the
size OF a nickel. 1t doesn't bother
her to any extent unless she lies on
1t for some length OF time. and then
We notice that she seems relieved
when turned"
This was diagnosed as a tumor.
On July "a, DR.. Curtis Burman and
Prof. Max Broedel both of Johns Hop
kins University, examined Marie and
prescribed radium treatments These
were begun shortly afterward by Drs.
Howard A. Kelly and Edmund Kelly
(his SOM. also both of Johns Hopkins,
and ultimately dispelied our worry.
Other July entries in my diary in
clude:
July u. Guardianship formed for
the babes. 1t will be good thing.
July %. First official photos Of
babes taken. They really do look
sweet in their hoods, and are handled
so very carefully. In fact, the photos
must be taken during the regular
routine. The babes are beginning to
Ali out. We are starting viosterol
Babes accept anything we give them"
Then, week later, comes this:
August S. The Drs. Kelly of Bal
timore came today and gave Marie a
radium treatment. The tumor is quite
large and raised, with dimple in the
center. Marie did some crying, was
told, and every one thinks she's got
quite a voice. Of course, every one

fectly adorable. They made faces
when the salt was put on their ton
gues.
How swiftly that Fall passed. My
diary contains few entries. On
December I made this note:
Christmas photos were taken today.
Mother and Father Dionne were over,
very thrilled with the pictures, ex-
amined everything, played with the
babes. They put little Marie In the
doll carriage and wheeled her around.
They laughed-and 80 did the rest Of
us-at DR.. Dafoe dressed up In 4
Santa Claus costume"
On December Q there is this entry:
"Dr. Dafoe Is going to New York for
his first holiday. He looks tired-but
he hates to leave the babes, and Is 4
little blue about 1t. He promises to
phone every day.

goes around in masks and gowns and
with washed hands and hushed
voices"
THE difficulties of caring for the
children in the Dionne home
which had never been designed to
house five feeble infants in addition
to one healthy, active family, had long
since convinced every one that the
children must have place of their
own where their care could go forward
without disrupting the Dionnes' nor
NAL routine. So, on August 6, made
this welcome entry in my diary:
THE hospital is under way. The
excavation is started and every one
Is excited, wondering what it's going
to be like. 1t will be great relief
to know that We don't have to risk
the Winter in the farmhouse.
In speaking Of the coming Winter
was looking long way ahead. But
the babies had US all much encouraged,
by now.
More diary entries:
August Z. Yvonne and Annette
had their first soap and water baths,
and did they squirm! They are lost
IN the big basins. We had to work

all over the pad and, of course, caught

to her breast and ran out, and thus
prevented fire that might have
burned the house down. I didn't
know what had happened until I
heard her call 'Yvonne' and as she
was on fire caught spread of the
bed to help beat out the flames.
Luckily, nothing spread in the nur-
Sery.
"Her hands and legs were burned.
The doctor arrived to find us sitting
on the porch, me wringing out band
ages in milk Of magnesia. Nobody in
the house had any idea Of what lad
happened until Nine de Kiriline had
to go home. I'll go on day duty and
Pat Nurse Pat Mullens) will come on
nights"
The babies were getting healthier
and hungrier. Witness my diary en-
try for August 12:
I'VE get 108 ounces Of milk q day
from Toronto and use most of tin
fact, we often wonder II it will carry
US through. The babes certainly orink
1t up. Cecile takes her bottle in
about two minutes and then goes of
to sleep with very contented look.
Marie is the slowest, and Emile gets
very impatient. Yvonne and Annette
love to linger about the middle Of the
meal, but eventually take it all.
August 13. Pat and laid the cor
ner stone Of the new house. That
certainly was thrill. 1t should be
finished In about month and can
you imagine just how thrilled We all
will be to have roomy place to

More progress Is noted in my entry
for August "a:
I'VE have been taking the babes
out of their incubators and placing
them on the table to get them used to
the open air. The incubators have
been left open now for some time
