THE LITHUANJANS,

The Lithuanans of this city are planning a celebration to mark the recognition by the United States of the country from which they came or whence came their direct ancestors. We'll may native born America ns approve such moysment Despite the unWilllngness of the United States to sanction any partition of Russia, she has now decided that Lithuania has shown such stability In her indenend- ence, and that the approval of such independence by practically all Europe including Soviet Russia itself has been so general that country deserves the recognition granted.
 As far back as the thirteenth cen- tury Lithuania exerted her independ- ence which she maintained until forced into an alliance with Poland after which she suffered Poland,s fate, most of the Lithuanians com ing under Russia's power in the eighteenth or early nineteenth cen turies. nation of strong men. with long history of independence behind her, she has again emereed into freedom which she has enioyed and made the most of during the Ia st five years, gaining at last that recoe- hltion which she seeks. We'll may the Lithuanians in this country cele- brate the event.

HE DETECTOR IS
 l USED ON SLAYER
'ProyeS' Man Who Killed Uncle
 Is 0. K.

Washington, Aug. S.-According to Dr. William Marston's '1ie detector" Earl E. Budding. who was convicted and served five years in the penften- tiary for killing man twelve years ago, was justified in shooting when he did. A test was made at the Ameri- can University, In the suburbs of Washington. last night, with the sphygmomanometer.
 Budding shot an uncle in West Vir- ginia In quarrel. Hc contnded he shot in self defense and should not have been punished. A jury con. victed him of voluntary mansla uEhter. Since the verdict Budding has asserted he would be vindicated. .
 His feelings on the subject of un- just punishment were so keen he be- came a prison reform movement leader. His submission to the ''lie detector" one of many efforts to clear his record before the world. Dr. Marston explained after the test that Duddling was Justified in carrying a gun and killing his uncle.
 The first step of pr. Marston was to take DuddinEs blood pressure and that WAS l32 millimetres yesterday but dropped first to 1ls during the test and later to 11s. The high mark was charged to excitement incident to
 the experience. and the gauge fell a the patient calmed.
 While the test was under way Dr. Marston asked Budding all about the killing. Budding held to his story of self-defense throughout the grilling. The instrument made zig-zag line.
 It consists of long silken bag, an indicator, and bulb to pump air into the tube, and is placed on the branch ial or arm artery to test the blood pressure. The bag is wrapped around the arm just above the elbow. Fear, pain and anger cause the indi- cator to jump around. If the patient tells lie, pr. Marston asserts, the needle would jump from 50 to 50 points.
 The trial last night was preliminary. A report and a public demonstration will be made on the 9th. Budding will be put through a severe examina- ton.

TWINS OF 10 SWIM TO FAME.
Children Break Record on Thrce-Mile
 Lake Course.

Willlmantic. Aug. 3.-Ethel and Claire Mathieu. ten-yearold twin daughters of MT. and Mrs. Henry J. Mathieu, of $40 Aash street, broke the record for swimming the length of Lake Wangumbaug, South Gov entry, yesterday, 1-1O miles in one hour and forty minutes.
 Miss Helen Camp of Hartford, an instructor, has done the feat in two hours. A noted Boston swimmer had previously taken two hours and ten minutes. The agile twins used the single crawl and English side stroke, and at the end of their performance were fresh enough to do fancy diving. They were accompanied in rowboat.
 Early in the season the twins dem onstrated their skill by diving-with hands and feet tied--into the lake from a height of twelve feet. Mary, their sister. aged twelve. has quail fled as a life guard.

BANNING BOBBED HAIR.

IL is quite natural the national hair hobbed hair as it is reported to have done. Certainly the mancur- ists association Of the world would frown upon the style of having the fingers chopped off; the chropodists would do all they could to prevent persons from following a fad for amputating the feet and, for a sim pier illustration, the national asso- citation of coatmakers would try to prevent the introduction of style that would make it unfashiona ble to go without coats.
 If all the women wore bobbed hair, the hairdressers, after they had once done the "bobbing it were not done by regular barber-would have little to do. Women and girls would have less reason for seeking the services of the aairdresser. much as the flngerless man or woman would not need the manicurist, the footless person the chiropodist or the coatless man, the coat maker.
 Let the hairdressers decree to their hearts content, as the dressmakers re decreeing The independent Amer ican girl will keep the comfort result ing from bobbed hair as she retains the comfort to be found in moder- ately short skirts.
