He turned to FukokO San, sent a smll-
ing message to his friend, her father.
She had gone deathly pallid under her
foreign-fashion rouge. He understood.
1t was dreadful for a woman to have
given her heart to Samurai who had
disgraced the nation.
The old General proffered the short
sword on lacquer tray. He bowed and
took it. Holding it aloft. he advanced
toward the Sacred Niche. made the
ritual genuf1ections. Then he sank to
his knees. stripped the ceremonial
kimono down to his waist. began the

would smile as he thrust, keep smiling.
He turned to the General and the
three young witnesses. spoke the ritual:
II atone for a Samurai's crime by
disembowelling myself, l, Samurai. I
beg of you to be my witnesses.
He checked at sudden noise, an
obvious soldier voice loudly announc-

and important! From the War Ofice!
The soldier appeared through the
slide-back panel. saluted and held
out an envelope to the General.
This was an ill-timed interruption.
He paused with the short sword held
pointing to his abdomen. But the SOL

General stiffened suddenly to parade

The old man bowed also. came into
the room. The panel closed.
The kimono'd General grinned,
Uttered nervously. What bad news
was behind this polite cheerfulness?
Inazo killed?

Il come from the War Office. l have
news for you" He held out telegram.
Sawaka San grinned politely as he
took the paper, continued to grin while
he read it: Regret to report that in the
fighting today Captain Inazo Sawaka
was taken prisoner.
He could no longer pretend to grin.
Inazo - his SON. a Samurai taken
prisoner! He glanced up. The old
General had also ceased to grin. Their
eyes met Suddenly he understood why
the General had come in ceremonial
Nipponese garb. The honor of his
family, of every Samurai, of the army,
of the nation, was shattered.
Unless that honor we're redeemed,

'You were my fathers friend. most
honorable sir. l beg that you will act

The General bowed silently.
He went to the lacquer-box, took
out the two Samurai swords. With
profound bow, he ereverently gave both
to the General In the ritual of h010-
kin, the long sword was for the Off
ciating friend to strike off the head,
mercifully terminating the agony OF
disembowelment.
Beyond the paper panel, he heard
the voices of Mori and the two girls.

No. 1t would arouse the wrong mood for

A moment later, he heard another
masculine voice - a voice he knew

together. He heard the maid servant

Klilowatt- Year Is Base
Of Bonneville Rate

Bonneville power will be sold at
wholesale in Washington, Oregon
and Idaho on a new basis the
"kilowatt year." That is a thousand
watts furnished day and night for
twelve months, or $3.50 kilowatt-
hours of electricity.
In announcing the adoption of
the kiloWatt-year sales unit, j. D.
Ross, Bonneville administrator,
scored the present practice of sell
ing power from the old scarcity
standpoint"
The "kilowatt-year" sales unit is
based directly on the cost of pro-
ducing power, Ross declares. mo
higher mathematics or juggled
schedules enter into the determin-
alton of cost. The small consumer
does not sllbsidize the large indus
trialist. We simply say, "A kilowatt-
year costs us so much. Pay us our
cost and use that klowatt contin-
uousay, day and night, throughout
the year."
Ross said that cities buying pow
er by the kilowatt-year naturally
would set their rates so as to en-
courage families to use power all
day long. Instead of just having
a few lights burning in the eye-
ming, it would be economical to use
power all through the day: for re-
frigeration, cooking, water heating,
as we'll as for off-peak house heat
ing, irrigation, commercial and in
dustrial use. Every extra kilowatt-
hour used means increased leisure
or additional income to men and
women of the northwest"
