First National Firm
 Starts Anniversary
Tenth Birthday Observed This Week By Connecticut Stores; Judd Place Warehouse Served First Stores

Connecticut's 534 First National Stores and markets are taking part beginning this week in the observance of the company's tenth birthday. In 1925, First National Stores Inc, was formed by the merger of three old-esta blished fod groups in Massachusetts, the Connor, Ginter and O'Keeffe com panIes each of which had entered the grocery business over 25 years previously in single store. First National entered Connecticut In 1929 through consolidation with the Economy Grocery company founded in March, 1914 when a Norwalk merchant opened n small grocery store in Waterbury. With in a few months, four more stores were opened on the principles of merchandising, value and service which had made the first unit suc- cessful. The stores were served from a warehouse in Judd Place, Waterbury.
 102 Stores By 1924
 The succeeding ten years wit messed steady development in Connecticut and in 1924 there were 192 stores in every section of the state. In 1925 modern new ware house was built in East Hartford to serve as general headquarters and principal distributing point ai.d in 1929 the organization and faciIitie sof Economy were rounded out and expanded by unio ith the First Natioal group. All the mani- fold activities of the company m western Massachusetts subsequent ly were turned over to the Hartford division.

ARKANSAS GETS
 STATE RANGERS
Two Intrepid Men Named to Guide Group Patterned
 After Old Members

Little Rock, Ark (UP) Two men of daring direct the new Arkansas State Rangers, fashioned after the old Texas Rangers of the cattle rustling days.
 They are Superintendent A. G. Albright, 34, and his assistant, Robert T. LaFollette, PIE, kinsman and namesake of Wisconsin's late Robert T. (Fighting Bob) LaFol- lette.
 Albright served 12 years as sheriff and deputy sheriff in no- torious Jackson county. The last major criminal cases he worked were solving the murder of re- cluse farmer and the $16,000 in- surance drowning of young wife.
 Lafollette won his spurs as q peace officer when he fatally wounded Gene Johnson, member of the Karpis. Barker gang, in a gun duel. He arrested one of the II convicts who escaped from Kansas State Prison on Memorial day in 1893. and arrted two Si- loam Springs bank robbers soon after becoming chief of police there in 1882.
 The handful of 12 rangers al- lowed them under the recent act creating the organization will be hand-pjcked for fearlessness, in- telligence ands experience. Albright said.

Machine Sleuth Gains Standing
 In Courts
Rx WILLIS THORNTON

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Chicago.-A little needle scrawl' ing a record on moving tape may stamp more firmly on the minds oi Thousands the belief that Bruno Hauptmann is guilty of the Lind. bergh baby murder--or it may add weight to the claim of the German Carpenter that he is innocent.
 Viewed at first with pronounced Skepticism, the ''lie detector," or poiygraph, as it's inventor prefers to call it, steadily is gaining sup port as reliable aid in crime so- ] liition.
 Prominence far greater than 1t has attained in the past will be Siven the mechanical sleuth" If the proposal of his wife that Hauptmann be subjected to its test IS carried out.
 For the first time, the jagged lines which the polygraph traces have been admitted as court evil dence, by agreement of prosecution and defense, and they played def- mite part in sending two suspects to Wisconsin state prison for murder.
 ACCUSED BY MACHINE
 There was no flicker of emotion on the face of Cecelo Longiano, ac- cused with a pal of the murder of d Portage, Wis, sheriff. when he rave brief answer to the question: s'Who drove the car?"
 M But in the series of oscillations which the little needle was record ing at Longiano's side, cratic vari- ations occurred.
 X Equally pronounced was the re- action of Tony Grignano to the test.
 The jurors who convicted the pair, boiled after the trial, reported that they gave weight to the evi- dence of the lie detector, but did not place complete reliance on 1t. FREES 17-YEAR CONVICT Another man Is to-day free after serving 17 years in Marquette penitentiary in Michigan for fel- ony. Joseph Blazenzits owes his freedom partly to tests made with the polygraph at the penitentiary. This record was part of the evi- dence submitted to Governor Com stock on seeking his pardon as an innocent man.
 The "lie detector" is apparently coming into it's own as a definite, recognized part of crime solution.
 Professor Leonardo Keeler, of the scientific crime detection labo- raaory of Northwestern University; gaxed about the disorder of the laboratory, which is being installed in new quarters, as he told of the cases.
 Professor Keeler is the inventor Of the polygraph, or "lie detector." Fifteen of them have been built, and their use has been urged for several years.
 But the cases mentioned here are the first in which the machines evidence has been directly admit ted in criminal cases.
 IT'S ONLY CORROBORATTVE
 1T have always disliked the term lie detector,'" observes Professor Keeler, leaning back in his chair behind cloud of smoke. "It's too broad term. It is a diagnostic method.
 s'Its evidence Is corroborative

 United Press Stan Correspondent Little Rock, Ark (UP)-Careless and ruthless oil men have wasted | $62, 2,877,0O0 worth of Arkansas oil and gas supply, Dr George c Branner, state geologist has com puted.
 The orgy of waste began when the Dusey discovery well was drilled-in west of Fl Dorado in 1921. Operators went wild with the boom town mania and worked feverishly with but one objective to get oil out of the ground as fast as possible and on the way to market.
 Natural Gas Wanted No one cared how many thou sand cubic feet of natural gas il took to raise a barrel of oil through the casing to the surface. That dis regard appeared with wanton sameness throughout the 10 pro- duction areas discovered around El Dorado up to 1928. Then came the day of reckoning. No new sands could be discovered, natural flow stopped in the wells and the fields went on the beam" Each stroke of the pumping beams has punctuated rebuke of waste- full operation.
 Oil men have learned their les son now, but perhaps too late. Nat ural gasoline plants-'cracking" plants-are piping gas from Louis- jana to supplement the deficient Arkansas supply. The operators have learned economy too. After they extract the gasoline from the gas they return the gas to the pro- ducers to use as fuel
 Huge Losses Incurred
 "It is difficult, if not impossible, to calculate with any degree of ac- curacy the losses incurred by the wasteful operation" pr Branner said, "but they may be classified ps follows.

PHILADELPHIA TO
 GETPOCT OFFICE
Present Quarters to Be Va Cated Soon and New
 Structure Erected

Philadelphia (UP) The pres ent post office building, erected in 1884 and improved in -1917, will soon he vacated for it's new quar- ters.
 In leaving the location, the post office quits a sit that hold a spot in the city's historical records.
 When the city was in it's infan- cy, Colonial Philadelphians visited the site to view the gardens of the first captain of the City Troop, Abraham Markee, Markee pre- scented the troop it's famous flag.
 An act of legislature in 179l caused to be built on the site "a mansion suitable for the use of the president of the United States" !" The cornerstone was laid in 1792 and history reveals the building was unfinished during Washing tons term of o;ce. When Gov. ernor Thomas Mifflin offered it to President Adams as an official res- idence, Adams declined the offer, saying only by an act of congress could he accept the house.
 Following this, the building was sold to the University of Pennsyl- vania, who occupied the location from 1902 to 1873. The building was torn down in 1929 to make room for the expansion of the school.
 Subsequently with the remova! of the university to it's present To- cation, the site was purchased by the federal government for $1,- 491,200, the highest price ever paid up to that time for post of- fee building. The building was cmopleted and furnished as the post office and government build ing ten years later in 1884. .
