LYNCH OFHCIATES
 IN HARTFORD CASE
Former Commissioner Pre- sides Over Hearing in
 First District Court

State Capitol, Hartford, Feb. 19- Former Compensation Commissioner James M. Lynch of Waterbury was in Hartford today to conduct hear ing at the office of the Compensation Court of the First Congressional District, although MT. Lynch's term expired on January of this year and he was not reappointed by former Governor Raymond E. Bald win.
 The situation was an unusual one, but explained by the fact that the case which came up for hearing and over which Com. Lynch will con- tinue to preside until decision has been reached was originally heard before him. It involved compensa- tion claim in the First District in which Commissioner Leo Noonan of Hartford disqualified himself and asked Com. Lynch to preside.
 A decision was handed down in the case, but only recently a motion to reopen the judgment was brought and MT. Lynch was called in to sit at the new hearing.
 State law demands that any judge or commissioner complete a case brought before him which accounts for the fact that MT. Lynch, al- though not a Compensation Con- missioner since January l, will con- tinue to act as one for several more days.

New Jap Ambassador Knows America And Americans Of Old

By NEANService
 Admiral Kicllisaburo Nomura, now on his way to Washington to take up his new job as Japanese ambassador, is man who knows the United States well and is fully aware of teh dynamite in U. s. Japanese relations.
 But, says he:
 There are few if any. Japa- neSe who want war with the United States. I see no issue between my country and the United States that cannot be solved without recourse to war"
 Admiral Nomura's acquaintance with Americans began when he attended the Naval Academy in Annapolis in the late nineties of the last century. He made a long CT stay as naval attache to the Japanese embassy in Washington from 1915 to 1918.
 Japan was an ally of Britain in the World War. President Roose- welt was then assistant secretary of the navy and report has 1t that he and Namura formed warm friendship.
 In 1921 Nomura once more went to Washington, this time as delegate to the disarmament con- ference.
 The new ambassador was born in December, 1877, the son of K. Masuda of an old Safnurai family. The boy was adopted by Matasane Normura. He graduated from naval college in 1898, be- coming a second sub-lieutenant Later he was stationed as junior naval attache in Berlin and Vien- na. Then he returned home to take the post of private secretary l to the navy minister.
 After his service as naval at- tache in Washington, he was sent I to the Paris peace conference in 1919. Later he was advanced steadily until he became an ad-

niral and served as vice chief ot the naval general staff.
 In 1882, while commanding the Japanese fleet in Chinese water, he landed at Shanghai to take part in celebration of the Mi kados birthday. A Korean threw a bomb fragment of which cost Nomura an eye.
 "A man who knows Washington and Paris as well as he knows Tokio, he has said of his new ap- pointment:
 q am plain sailor and a com plete stranger to elegant society. Being aware of that ignorance, I at first declined the offer of the ambasSado dorship."
 But Washington officials are not going to take that declaration at face value. They know Nomura as a polished, astute man of the world.

UNION TYPIFTES STRENGTH

Said wise old bee at the close or day: This colony business doesn't pay I put my honey in that old hive That others there may eat and thrive, And do work in day, by gee, Than of the other fellows do in three I toll and worry and and hoard, And all get is my room and board. It's for hive myself, And me for the sweets of my hard-earned pelf" So the old bee flew to a meadow lone And started business of his own. He gave thought to the buzzng clan, But all intent his selfish plan He lived the life of hermit free. "Ah, this is great!" said the wise old bee. But the summer waned and the days grew drear, And the old bee walled as he dropped tear, For the varmints gobbled up his little store. And his played out and his heart was sore. So he winged his way to the old home band And took his meals at the Helping Hand Alone our work is of little worth; Together the lords of earth So it's all for each, and it's each for all United we stand or divided fall

Good Evening.

Oh say can you see by the dawns early hgnt!
 Der the ramparts we watch-never say ole! There's nothing more American as sanguage goes Than the merry salutation-m! TI to your friends hi! to your foes, .... It takes too long for hello; Hi there you, and you and you!
 Hi! however the winds blow What very happy little word,
 Most apropos in drawing room or street, It breaks the ice right from the start
 Hi! like that, soft and sweet How do you do? isn't that stiff
 Let's give that the go-bye; And lightly, Hltngly, ever so coy,
 Greet all the world within!
