 The lack of houses is bGng felt more ard more by Norwich people. This Is en- phzzized from the fact that the Nor wich Building and Loan Association has more applications for loans to build on hand than ever before
 There Is need and room for more houses in this city. and they ought to be e1slt immediately. said a local business zzn Thursday.

IN SUMMER

I think these stars that draw so strangy near, That lean and listen for the turning earth, Are never wholly careless when they hear The murmur of her hushed and quiet mirth- But looking out upon world iii bloom,
 They half-remember and they heed and hark; A reminiscent sweetness in the gloom.
 music older than this singing dark. Their summers gone so many aeons past, ,Bird-song and bloom and swallow from the sky, These dead, desireless worlds find here, atlast, Something remembered when the earth turns by Sweet with these blowing odors they had known, This happy music that was once their own.
