Bar Association
 Votes Sympathy
Express Coincidence for At= tOrney Green in Death
 of Brother

An expression of sympathy was voted to be extended to Attorney Harold Green on the death last night of his brother. Myron W. Green, we'll known jeweler, at an inn promptu meeting of the Waterbury Bar association in superior court this morning. The meeting was called by President John H. Cassidy and the expression voted on motion of Attorney Walter Monagan and seconded by Attorney Edward Mas colo.
 The four new members of the bar who passed the state examinations last week will be invited guests of the local association at its monthly meeting Monday noon at 12:15 o'clock at the Hotel Waterbury. The quartet includes Attorneys Edward T. Carmody. George Miske, Alex ander J. Amdur and Hereward A. Wake.
 The meeting will be turned over to the discussion of the recent re- commentators of the judicial coun- cil to the state legislature. There are several recommendations in which the local body is highly interested and it is expected that resolutions will be passed either favoring or disapproving certain suggestions and recommendations of the council.
 Attorney Finton J. Phelan Is chairman of the committee in charge of Mondays meeting. Others on the committee are Attorney Frank Healey, Attorney Max Traurig, At torney Vincent A. Miller and Attor- ney Michael J. Galullo.

 A very large proportion of the calls made to the legislative switch board are toll calls coming from the home towns of the assemblymen. Most of the senators and representa- tives are business and professional men whose offices keep constantly in touch with them when they are attending the sessions. Telephone service is especially essential to those members who remain over- night at Hartford on the days of sessions. The switchboard is in al- most incessant use from ten in the morning when the legislators begin to arrive at the capitol until com mittee hearings are over late in the afternoon.

mia. have made careful measure ments of the strength of the mag netism around the sun. These studies showed that the sun has an electric field similar to that of the earth Starting with these observed facts, Dr Gum began his calcula- tions and built up his theory that explains several of the hitherto baf fling puzzles about the hub of our universe.
 From the surface of this giant star, he assumes, there are stream ing into outer space molecules charged with negative electricity. In passing through the solar atmos- phere, which consists of the revers- ing layer nearest the sun, the chro- mosphere above it, and the shoot ing, f1aring corona at the outer linn it's, the electrified particles meet re- sistance. As result, they heat the gases to incandescence, just as does the electric current passing through the filament of an ordinary bulb.

 Captain Armstrong, administrator of the state fund for veterans, told the committee that in the past 10 days he had placed IS cases in the hospitals while there are 26 other cases waiting hospital treatment, at the expense of the state fund. He explained the state fund never be- fore has been called upon to the extent of the demands of the past 10 months. He said if the hospital at Newington were enlarged as pro- posed it would relieve the state fund of the burden of caring for the vet erans in the hospitals and permit of the use of the money thus saved in granting additional aid to de- pendents of the veterans.
