THE CURTAIN.
The curtain falls, the light goes out.
And silence ends the play;
And Columbine and Harlequin
In dust are laid away;
And Pierrot of the nimble heart,
And frail Pierrette, the star
So must we laugh and go, my lass,
Gods puppets that we are.
Who knows but that their little tricks
Still live. and still amuse?
And Columbine still runs away,
And Pierott still pursues?
Who knows but that we, too, shall
play
Our parts, and reign supreme
Upon the Stage Of Silence, lass,
Within the House of Dream?

Speaker Grantland said the Bureau

State and $1,000 of it goes into the
pocket of the secretary Of the State

But on the subject OF whether Ger
many's taking the initiative would be
welcomed, officials were mute. II
seemed certain however. today that
only the method remained TO be set

to put all of the blame on Commander

The Speaker continued by quoting
a man versed I'm State Board of Health
matters as saying that the Board Is

"There has been much speculation as
to who wrote the bill.n he continued

I believe the State Board Of Health

comprises seven members. all physi-
clans appointed by the Governor
"They are under the domination OF

the secretary be the master of the

he asked. The bill provides that the
secretary shall not be member of
the Board. and Mr.. Grantland said he
knew of no good reason why the sec
retary should be member of the
board. The salary is to be $500.
The Board now fixes the salary. The
State appropriates S2.5O0 a year to the
State Board of Health and the secre-
tary gets $500 Of it, Mr.. Grantland
charged. There is no doubt about
it," he added. "If same of YOU
