BECAUSE OF HER,

4
mabel Stevens Freer, in Ainslee's
Magazine.)
With bare brown legs and faded ging-
ham gown,
J saw her first-a very little girl.
Her slender fingers clasped within my
own,
With low, sweet laughter, set my
heart awhirl.
From out her wondrous eyes of dark
est blue
Shone forth a soul all pure and UNI
defiled,
And all things young and beautiful
took on
An added charm because she was a
child.
Again | saw her as a maiden grown,
A half-ope'd blossom, whose rare
grace fulfilled
The promise of the bud, and yet gave
hints
OF greater glories, when, if God SO
willed
The half-grown rose should ope tc
fullest flower.
| brought my gifts of frankincenso
and myrrh,
To lay them at her feet and eyermore
| reverenced Womanhood, because
of Her.
And now l watch her rocking to and
fro,
And grooming low within the dim
ming light;
A tiny head is pillowed on her arm,
A tiny form is cuddled warm and
tight,
A glow is on her face-a light, me-
thinks,
That never on the land or sea did
rest
All Motherhood js sacred. now to me
Because 1t is my baby at her breast.

A QUESTION TO solve NOW.
YELLOW JACK

One sanitation question should be
settled now, and that Is. what method
to use in filling low-lying lands that
are to be reclaimed by the use of
dredged material.
Experts In Honolulu, men whose
business 1t is to handle dredging and
filling contracts. differ widely In their
views. Two of those varying views
have been expressed to the Bulle-
tin as follows:
Hydraulic filling of low lands, that
is. the pumping of dredged material
upon the lands or the washing down
Of soil from the hills should not be al
lowed" stated one contractor, whose
experience here extends over more
than a score of years.
Hydraulic filling leaves mud, deep
mud. for the land takes months to dry
our thoroughly and all this time It IL
a disease menace. We have found by
experience that this work is a breed
g.. aG typhoid. The only way Is to
handle the earth so that II Is prac-
tically dry when It arrives at the spot
where the fill Is to be made. To do
this either bucket dredge or a clam
shell dredge should be used, the earth
sent on cars or drays to the place
where the MI Is to be made, and by
the time It gets there 1t Is dry and
can be dumped In at once"
Another contractor takes an oppo-
site view. The earth will dry out
quickly, even II pumped upon the
land through pipeline" he says
Either way Is effective"
Honolulu has "a large amount OF fill
ing ahead. Within few weeks some
of this work should be started on
large scale. In view Of the widely
different opinions, 1t requires no ar
gument to demonstrate that this ques
ton ought to be settled now, and set
tied In the right way, so that whel
the work is begun, It can be begun
and carried forward on the right lines
