Lithuania Banking
On Youth Of Nation
Waterbury Couple, Back From Trip, Say Country Pre
pared for Any Invasion of Rival Countries
*« Mr. and Mrs. John Delinlks who
Returned to thia city late last week
lifter a three months' tour of
Lithuania reported the country is
on the uptrend due to the spirit
g>f Us youth. They state the
^Lithuania government has placed
--great responsibilities in the young
ynen and young women of the na
tion.
MB. AND MRS. JOHN DEL1NIKS
One of the most important top
ics discussed by Mr. Deliniks was
the condition of the country in
time of peace. He stated Lithuania
is prepared for any invasion from
any source. No one person how
ever, can gain possession of in
formatoin relative to the true
strength of military life. He said
the cities are filled with troops and
occasionally a squadron of air
planes may be seen in formation.
Inquiry usually brings the reply
that no soldier could even inform
his own brother how many men
are stationed at any certain camp.
The secret is carefully guarded.
Perhaps the reason for this ac
cording to Mr. Deliniks is the fear
of a surprise attack by Germany
who would like to secure the city
of Klaipeda, one of the finest sea
coasts on the North Sea. Should
the Germans attack from one posi
tion the government will expect
maneuvers from Poland on the
other side. Government officials
and visitors in Lithuania during
the past summer months were of
the opinion that neither Germany
nor Poland would declare them
selves without the aid of the other.
Although Lithuania appears to be
building up strong resistance there
was no indication that they were
planning to open armed warfare
with any other nation. They are.
on terms most friendly with all
other countries with but two ex
ceptions.
Mr. Deliniks asserted the popu
lation appeared to be overbur
dened with taxation. Single men,
he said, are taxed about one-fourth
of their earnings. These and other
such governmental actions will
probably bring about a resentment
among a certain class that may de
velop into a protest. He said that
the president of Lithuania re
ceives a salary of $60,000 or $15,
000 less than that of President
Roosevelt. This amount was enor
mous and in many sections of the
country was criticised. Other of

reason for enormous taxes.
The farmers have plenty of
crops, said Mr. Deiinlks but there
doesn’t appear to be any. market.
He asserted that the government
has regulated the sal* of the pro
duction according to the an»>unt
of land owned by the farmer and
in this way everyone engaged in
agriculture may dispose of a cer
tain percentage of the crop. All
prices are fixed by the govern
ment and there can be no slash
ing or sales and therefore no price
wars. Mr. Deiinlks said the crop
this year consists mostly of rye,
wheat, potatoes and other non
perishable foods, and for this rea
son’ the farmers are looking for
ward to a foreign market to come
to their assistance.

CLASSIC SWEATER
HOLDS POPULARITY
Dorothea Cook, Specialist,
Here for Coming Col
lege Promotion Week
Every college has Its whimsies—
ten-gallon hats or beer suits, or
class-going ski pants—but still
first in the hearts of the college
crowd, the classic sweater marches
on. Most girls have five or six.
They love to collect tweedy
skirts and gay colored tops: cardi
gans, twin sets, and woolly pull
overs—they mix their own. You’ll
see lots of them going to classes
with their cardigans buttoned
down the back or wearing little silk
kerchiefs tied dude-ranch fashion
ut the neck.
And if you drop in a college girl’s
room some evening, like as not
you'll find her knitting or crochet
ing herself another, while she's
hashing things over with the crowd
or boning up on the atomic theory.
Or you may catch her some night
kneeling on the floor over her pet.
This rite. In common parlance,
would be called ’’pinning the sweat
er to measurements.’ 'A clever girl
prefers to wash her own. Then
she’s sure some well-meaning
laundress won’t mistake it for the
puppy’s rag and pop it into a
steaming tub or give it a drubbing.
She draws an outline of each of
her sweaters, when new, on a plain
piece of paper, und labels It. Then
she always has It on hand to pin
the sweater back to shape after
washing. Luke-warm water and ex
tra thick suds arc her rule—the
same mild flakes she uses lor
stockings and underthings and all
the Luxable dresses she does her
self.
But lack of pluln paper doesn’t
daunt the ingenious. She drags out
a bed sheet—traces the outline of
her sweater, pins It to a rug to dry.
The outline comes out In the wash.
Wit the sweater fits as perfectly as
when It was new.
"The right clothes for campus
are always the most practical.” says
Miss Cook, washabillty expert at
Grieve, Bisset & Holland all this
week during a special college pro
motion.
"They’ll need to stand a heap of
hard living," she advises, "yet
you'll want them to have prac
tically no ’upkeep’. That’s why
sweaters and blouses and shirt
frocks ‘belong’. The more Buxables
you have In your wardrobe, the
more you’re going to suve on laun
dry and cleaning bills.”

NOT SO MUCH FUN
now boys, is rr?
Pair Enjoyed Watching
Engines Answer Their
False Alarms
Some persons think It a lot ot
Fun to ring In false fire alarms,
md see engines come racing to
the ecene. That’s just what was
thought the other night by Albert
DeSantis, 16, of 4V Wilson street,
and Adam Mlhalloff, 17, of »l
Robbins street.
They sent In one alarm, alid en
loyed the arrival of the engines so
much that they tried another, both
from boxes on Robbins street. The
anglnes came and went again.
A few minutes later, Adam and
Albert found themselves accosted
by a neatly-dressed .young man.
After a brief oonversation the
young man told them casually that
he was a policeman and they were
under arrest. The officer was Pa
trolman Patrick Hobart.
This morning, Judge John F.
McGrath opined that ringing false
alarms, If It was fun, was worth
110 and costs for each of the two
boys. Charges of taking a car with
out permission, placed against tho
pair earlier, were nolled.
