FORMER LOCAL WOMAN
Is AUTHOR OF POEM |

AT meeting of the "Marys" society.
an organization whose members all
bear the name of Mary, which was
held recently at Noblesville, Ind
Mary A. krout. former resident OF
Honolulu, wrote and presented an
original poem. According to the No.
blesville Daily Ledger, the poem writ,
ten by the former Honolulu woman
was received with great enthusiasm.
Copies of the verso were given to the
members as souvenirs.
The poem follows:
THE MARYS.
lE the worlds Shortages long
A myriad Marys live;
Still Frightening many a sOmbre page,
Their need of grace they give;
A Highland lass in deathless song,
With Mary, Scotland's queen.
And her three Marys, proud and leal,
AS any maids e'er seen.
Wisely they've ruled Ger many a
realm;
Our Mary gave a son
To carry down to hosts unborn
The name of Washington;
Today in homes DER all the earth
With children round their knees,
Or in the worlds wide fields Of toll
They know no rest nor ease.
They speak the heartcning word that
cheers,
They guide the faltering hand,
They live and soTve as heroes serve
Their well beloved land;
They do their part, and, at the last
Where Heavens glories shine
They shall behold a Mary crowned
With motherhood divine

Supervisors Seem Willing to
Better Federal Highways if
Army Will Give Coral

New hose and chemical motor ap'
paratus for the fire department, new
auto trucks for the water works de-
partment, the floating of improvement
bonds authorized and immediate ac-
ton on the repairing of numerous bad
roads were some Of the matters con-
sidered at the meeting of the board
of supervisors last night. Many OF
the resolutions were tabled until the
next meeting.
Raymond Brown, representing the
Chamber of Commerce, addressed the
board on the subject of repairing the
makai Diamond Head road so that
it would be in presentable shape when
the congressional party arrives next
month. Mr.. Brown declared the
Chamber of Commerce would gladly
20 ahead with the supervisors in any
thing they would suggest to improve
the road.
Supervisor Petrie suggested that
the city and county leave the roads
just as they are and let the congress
men gett a glimpse of their federal
roads in Oahu. The Diamond Head
road is federal property, said Mr..
Petrie, and it is up to them to repair
tenn. He also suggested that the
same be done with the Puuloa road.
Mr. Brown, however, said he would
take the matter up with the army
engineers today. The supervisors
seemed willing to go through with
the improvement plan, but only il the
army would allow them to use coral
from the federal quarry.
S. c. Stibbert, acting superinten-
dent of the electric Il 1t department,
notified the board that because of
the lack of rain, the city plant was
obliged to shut down On Saturday.
1t will be necessary to buy light from
the Hawaiian Electric company until
the rainy season commences. The
authorization was granted to contract
with the Hawaiian Electric for cleo
tricity, and $1,000 appropriated.
Resolutions for the sale of improve
ments bonds for Smith street, from
Queen to Beretania, and of Hotel
street, from Nuuanu to Bishop. were
also adopted. The amounts involved
are $4,000 and $SO4625.
Supervisor Arnold introduced a
resolution which was adopted, calling
fer the city engineer to investigate
and report conditions of the Waialae
read so that improvements may be
made.
The police committee was handed
reQuisftion from Sheriff Charles Rose,
asking for a new motor police patrol.
The sheriff has his eye on a special
45-hOrsepower BIS. The matter is un-
der advisement.
The traffic cops want a raise in
pay. They ask s25 more month, "be-
cause of the high cost Of living" AD-
Darently the cops went over the
sheriff's head in the matter, so the
request was tabled by the police COM
nittee.
