In sancity OF nigh, and sleep.
Drift visions from the shadow shore
Small, patient forms that creep.
They move in drab: they wear no
They arc tho dreams tina, Nigh: come

Meek phantoms OF the modes. thinss
That l havc power to do.
Like azure shadows in tho snow.
or bloom upon the sun-kissed grape.
Sweep lovelier shades. that gleam and
glow
And don a rarcr shape.
They smile with eyes OF queens and

The lordly. gracious. sovereign things

Remain such waking dreams a. linn
Upon reality and truth.
Flying like holy seraphlm.

Born OF tho human borrowings

Great happiness 4. pain;
And to tho budding year
March brings. in driving rain.
In loss and grief and fear.
IN bitterness of hope deferred.
Tho JOY that spring is near.
March takes tho flying clouds
In her impatient arms
And filings them wide. like shrouss
To veil the sky's fresh charms
And fright the feathered crowds
With wild and rude alarmA
Yet boisterous. rugged March
Is what shy April needs,
To clothe tho ash and larch
And blind, upreaching seeds
With living green of woodland arch,
And bloom on hills and meads.

 Every symbol that brings the mes sage of Love ye one another home to us should be encouraged and wei comed in our midst.
 The Community Christmas Tree is emblematic of Christian love- and we should look forward 70 it's inspiring message from year to year.
 Will you help to make it's realiza- tion possible, as you did in former years, by making a contribution to the Christmas Tree Fund?

FULL TIME HEAD OF PUBLIC WORKS BOARD
Mayor Paonessa Believes Chairman of (I Commission Should Devote Com
 plcte Day to Post.
{ r A. M. Paoncssa has under A ttion q proposal which, if

Fy received by the common cs eil, will make the position ot chairman of the board of public work, q full time position. paying salar, approximately the same as that paid the city engineer.
 The matter was informally discus sed at last nights session of the char ter revision committee. Since the creating Of positions in this depart ment must be regulated by ordinance rather than by provision in the char ter, it was suggested that the mayor take such steps as are necessary to bring the proposition before the coun. ell.
 Mayor Paonessa said this morning that he has been approached by sey- eral members of the council who favor such change. If the right man is available for the job, the ex- ecutive feels much money would be saved the city in this way.
 If the proposal Is adopted, the city engineer will be relieved of much of the work of supervising the work of gangs about the city and will be able to devote his entire time to en- gineering jobs, it is explained. A chairman experienced in contracting could take over the duties that were handled last year by the general sup erintendent. and in the opinion of those who favor the change, many times his salary could be saved.
 The present chairman of the board, Thomas w. Grove, has devoted his entire time to the job since his ap- pointment last April
