SOVIET PLANS ] MASSED FLIGHT
Demonstration Would ' Bring 100 Russian S Planes to Paris

z Paris, (UP)-"The flight that twill darken the skies" is being Hawaited here eagerly. but so far -there is no official promise that it 4will take place.
 The demonstration in question, sindicatcd in message from War rsaw some time ago, would bring sbetwecn 70 and 100 powerful Rus sssian warplanes-thc largest mass kfiight on record-to Paris.
 The air ministry. while not ac- stually protesting ignorance of the Soviet plan, insists no preparations .havc aS-y yet been made for receiv- sing the Russian flyers.
 Significantly enough, in the 4yiew of some observers. first inti- gmation of tho spectacular project srcached the French republic in a sdispatch from the Polish capital slast month. when it was announced sthe government had given authori- szation for q flight over Poland by sMoscow military flyers.
 Great interest attaches here to sthe plan. especially in view of Air sMinister Cots flying trip to Mos COW, where he was greeted with enthusiasm. Importance also is att stached to the report that if the flight is made, the planes will avoid sGermany.
 According to the report received ~from Warsaw, the unprecedented rair formation would display the shammer-and- sickle in the skies Habove Poland. Chekoslovakia and s1taly on it's way to France.

State Would Leave Retail= ing of Liquor to Pri-

Des Moines, Iowa (UPC = Iowa. long dry stronghold, prob ably will continue it's arid .reputa- tion through the holiday season. but only for the reason that new liquor control laws will not be ef- fective by that time.
 The state legislature, which convened in special session No- vember for emergency legisla- tion. has before it two liquor con- trol plans.
 One, recommended by com mission appointed by Governor Clyde l.. Herring, would give the state direct monopoly of liquor sales.
 The beverages would be sold to licensed consumers through state owned liquor stores.
 A second plan, submitted by Senator Vincent Harrington. deln- ocrat, would leave the retailing of liquor to private enterprise.
 Harrington. however. would re- strict profits to such retailers 10 10 per cent and all above this amount would be diverted to the use of a State Liquor Control Commission appointed by the governor.
 In neither plan would purchas- CTS be allowed consumption on the premises of sale, although Harrington is said to favor al- lowance of consumption of lighter liquors in the retail stores.
 Both plans would allow the state liquor control commission full authority to regulate quality and taxation of the beverages.

PAMPAS SHOWS
 GROUND SLOTH
Fossil Remains Exhibited in Unusual Background
 at Museum

Chicago, (UP)-Fossil remains : of huge ground sloth which four ished in South America more than 50,000 years ago have been placed on exhibition in the Field museum. The exhibit shows how similar fossil specimcs have been preserved : through thousands of years. how scientists find them. and how they appear when cxcavated by the paleontologist' spade.
 The sloth fossil appears in a 7 reconstruction of q typical pam , pas terrain of Argentina where it was found.
 Dr Elmer s. Riggs. assistant cur a.or of Paleontology who headed the expedition to Argentina and ] Bolivia. designed the exhibit to { answer questions of the layman concerning. tho methods used by such expeditions.
 ''The place where we found this specimen" Riggs said. "lies in q stretch of pampas land as level as ] the plains of Illinois. In winter ! abundant rains cause the shallow streams to overflow. The sediments they carry settle in layers over the soil. Year after year these depos- it's arc built up. The same thing , probably. occurred when the great : sloths were great beasts with death their bodies became buried
 in these sediments.
 The South American ground aysloths wre great beasts with slong. narrow heads, shaggy, hair Mcovered backs. stout limbs. and a Sponderous tail. With their great %hooked claws they tore roots from sthe ground for food. They also ate .t he pods and leaves of trees. which rthey reached by rearing up on @their hind legs.

Legal Liquor Flows
 Again In Waterbury
Very Little Evidence of Hard Drinks Noted To-day
 Foreign Wines Put on Sale Here

Rainy weather rather than legal liquors and wine served to make Waterbury damp" to-day despite the fact that the prohibition amendment went into the discard last night when Utah cast it's vote as the seth state ratifying the 21st amendment. Things were rather quiet last night in the city about tho only new products on sale being beer declared to range from to per cent in alcoholic content.
 To-day, however, restaurant and hotel owners were serving some of the newly legalized wine that arrived from California and foreign countries. The taverns, restau- rants and hotels. as we'll as clubs, were handling the stronger beer Newly legalized whiskies, however were not very much in evidence due to the fact that the stores holding package licenses had not yet become set up to handle the hard liquors.

HIGH POINT IN
 SCHOOL REPORT
Paper Read By Mir Con- don Contained Some
 Startling Figures

A 50 per cent decline in the city's birth rate since 1920 is cited by Thomas J. Condon, superintend- ent of schools, in his annual res port to the Board of Education. lt was to this cause that he ascribed the gradual drop in elementary grade registration.
 Superintendent Condon stated that the city's Lirth rate in 1910 was 2S. In 1920. it had climbed fractionally to 29. Since that year 1t has declined gradually, until q is now but half that of 13 years ago.
 It was pointed out in the report that registration in the grammar schools is dropping each year while that in high schools is in- creasing. The grammar school falling off is most noticeable h the first six grades.
 With the city's birth rate now so low, it appears that further de- creases in grammar school regis tration will take place each year. It is believed that the decline will be even more noticeable in the lower grades the next few years
