Building Association Has
Failed to Render Account
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the temporary closing of banks,
building associations, is it not customary
for them to give to its depositors some
accounting of conditions existing? This
promise was given by the Fidelity Build
ing Association, but up to this date has
not been fulfilled.
Certainly there must be some source
to whom one may apply for light on
this subject. Any information would
be gratefully appreciated by those Sc
riously affected. E. H. THOMAS.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Remembrance.

Remembrance.
In dusk that is falling rainy &
Come dreams of another night '
When the sound of exquisite music
Came thru a wet twilight.
Passionate, tender, the harmony
OF the Chopin nocturne you played
for me.
The notes that flowed from the ivoriel
Found In my soul shrine;
They filled all the place with echoes
Mysterious and divine, o
Then died away on the soft night ali
Into silence that fell like the hush ot
= prayer. <;

to lift wheat prices to a new top for

Washington reports on conferences

for the moment there was little to

More assurance would be felt, some

get established over the $l.02 level.
