Grievance

A LII these years hayu rs,nsmSese& q
"A night
When islands ran black .nto . sec Of silk.
A bay and an open yoadstead set 70 .
simmer like cool, white siik
Under an August moon.
Trees lifted themselves softly into this
moonlight,
A vine on the balcony glittered with q
scattered brilliance,
The roofs Of distant houses shone solsdfy
like ice.
Wind passed,
IL touched me.
The touch Of the wind was cool, impsr-
| sonal;
The fingers Of the wind brushed my face
and left me.
remember that I shivered,
And that the long, continuous sound Of
the sea beneath the cliff
Seemed the endless breathing of the days
I must live through alone.
grieve for that night as for something
wasted.
You are with me now, but that was
| twenty years ago,
And the future is shortened by many
days.
no longer fear the length of thsm,
dread the swiftness of their departure,
But they go-go--
With the thunderous rapidity of
waterfall,
And scarcely can we find g slow, cool
| night
To consider ourselves,
And the peaceful shining Of the moon
Along silken sea.

Books and So Forth

ESHE farmer from the extremely far
back baak-eountry stood before q
cage at the zoo and ga1sd for the first
time in his life upon the awe-inspiring
proportions Of the rhinoceros. At
length he spoke,
tThe rhinooeros," he soliloquized,
"is turrible lookin' animal that smells
even worse than he looks. But, my
Gawd, there he Isl"
He passed on and became lost in
contemplation Of tha two-humpsd Bac-
trian camel.
The farmer and Ben Hecht, who
wrote "Gargoyles," had nothing what
ever In common, except existence.
Mr.. Hecht would never have accepted
the rhinoceros. Confronted with him
for the first time, the author Of "Gar-
goyles" would have been shocked, In
credulous, outraged. Then he would
have gone home and written novel
bitterly assailins system Of evolution
, so gross, so depraved as TO have
brought rhinoceroses into being.
On the other hand, we think that the
farmer, suddenly aware Of the fact
that there was such thing as sex,
with its attendant hungers and i'm
pulses In the world, would have thought
for a minute, shrugged his shoulders,
remarked SWELL, my Gawd, there It
isl" and let 1t go at that
He and Mr.. Hecht never would have
understood each other. We realize that
and sympathize with the farmer.
| Something ought to be done about the
puritanical reticence displayed by the
parents of young American authors.
They conceal the elemental facts Of
| life from their offspring until said off,
spring get around to writing books, and

DUNN EXPECTED TO HOLD BOTH POSTS
Member Of School Board and Police Commission Will Not Retire Unless Asked to Do So.

Lawyer David l.. Dunn, elected to the school committee last month and appointed yesterday as a member of the board of police commissioners. will not resign his membership on the school committee unless he is re- quested to do so
 Mir. Dunn was considering dropping either one or the other. but he has been requested by representatives of the general government and members of the school committee both to hold the two jobs. Since one position is elective and the other appointive, and the work of either board does not go to the other for approval, it is argued that there would be no conflict should he remain on both commissions.
 During the Curtis administration. a policy was inaugurated to have no man serve on two commissions. This was brought about by the fact that formerly a man. as a member of one commission would vote to expend cer- tain moneys and then as member Of the board of finance and taxation provide the funds for such eXpendi- ture. In Mir. Dunn's case, it is eX- plained, no such condition could pos sibly arise.
