Leaves His Mark on Be-
headed Man Who Pointed
Out Road.
Bv Weare H0IbrOOR.

TT WAS crisp, clear day; the road
was smooth and the motor purred
like q contented cat. Mr.. Frim-
Il BILE pressed down the toe of his
right foot and speeded the car up to
45-a new high for him. Sprinkled
with the remains of the last snowfall,
the brown countryside looked solid and
reassuring, and the occasional farm
houses were symbols of peace and Sc
curity.
But Mr.. Frimble, as always when he
lost his way, felt neither peaceful nor
secure. Approaching a little cross
roads settlement he looked hopefully
for enlightening signboards. but there
weren't any. He had no idea where
he was.
Fortunately Mrs. Frimble wasn't
with him. She had gone up the day
before to a place called Gimperville,
to visit an old friend with a new baby.
She had gone up by train and Mr..
Frimble had agreed to bring her home
in the car. That was how he hap
pened to be in his present predica-
ment. Ginperville was on the map;
he had looked it up several times to
make sure. It was on Route 79, which
was clearly marked. But this pleasant
little country road didn't even have q
number.
Though he needed guidance and ad-
vice he was glad he was alone. When
ever he got lost with Mrs. Frimble
she always urged him to TASK that
man." And If he refused, she did
the asking herself. Pardon me, but

Defaulters Ignore Dec. IS Pay Day
 Once Once
By RICHARD L. GRIDLEY gUnited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

NOMAANCW 1 kC00 0SeSAA SSAA ASSEsV@ANASAAV
 washington, Dec. IA (UP) = Americas war debtors are nearly e1,OO0, 100000 behind in their pay mentS on the $l2,000, 100000 war debts owed to the United States.
 Up to Nov. IS the 12 principal debtor nations were 8l4,626, PA be- hind in their payments to the United States, with only Finland paid up to date. On Dec. 15 another install- ment of $155,O51, ,301 falls due on which only Finland is likely to ten- der its debt of $230, 0,453.
 Thus the United States treasury will collect the fractional part of @ cent on the huge foreign debts owed as the result of American aS- sistance in waging of the World war.
 Although foreign debtors are now nearly a billion dollars in arrears, the United States governments prospects of collecting any but a small fraction of the debts continues to fade.
 No Discussions Opened
 None of the defaulting nations has opened discussions for even a new debt settlement, and the cur rent unsettled state of world affairs probably will delay any possible steps to clear up the foreign debt situation.
 Most of the foreign nations are in default since 1892 when the '.Hoover moratorium" on war debt payments started the non-payment parade. Great Britain sought a new debt settlement after the mora Sorium and tried to avoid default by token payments, but even these have been suspended.
 If the United States by some im- possible stroke of luck were success full in collecting even the past due payment at this time, many of the financial problems of the present ad- ministration would disappear.
 Would Run U. s. 2 Months
 A billion dollars would run the federal government for two months. It is more than the annual federal government tax collections in cig- arets, tobacco, beer and liquor.
 All the 15 nations in default, in cluding Italy, Great Britain and France, are barred from long-term loans as long as they remain in de- fault. But a strong movement is afoot to widen the prohibition to all commercial credits and to include any nation which engages in war.
 Desire to avoid entanglement in kut.re conflicts has mingled with emotions of revenge" or desire for punishment of defaulting nations, in this respect. When the last con-

STORY OF SOUTH
 OPENS AT STATE
"SO Red the Rose" Starts Today -"Miss Pacific
 Fleet" Added

Another outstanding screen tri- umph in the long line of hits booked by Warner Brothers State theater during the weeks of winter, begins a four day engagement to- day when 50 Red The Rose" has its initial presentation.
 Margaret Sullavan is the star and excellent support is given her by a distinguished cast including such local favorites as Walter Connolly, Randolph Scott, Janet Beecher and little Dickie Moore.
 "So Red The Rose" is story of our South, a romantic and poig- nant account of those turbulent days of the War between the States. More than that, 1t reveals the ideals and hopes and bravery of gentle Southern family when the clarion call of strife made men and women array themselves on the side of duty, sure of the righteous ness of their cause.
 It is the story of young girls love for man, 8 man who heSi- tates to answer the fighting call of his people, and who, in his efforts to do what he believes is right, is even willing to sacrifice love on the altar of his beliefs.
 Margaret Sullivan is the girl, Vallette, 8 pretty, vivacious belle of the South. It is role delicately in tune with Miss Sullavan's sub- tie gifts as an actress and she brings to her portrayal the artistry that has distinguished her work on stage and screen. ,E
 The boy, Duncan; is portrayed by Randolph Scott, handsome and talented actor who in "So Red The Rose" forsakes his western" char acterizations which have won him fame and proves his versatility as an actor.
 Walter Connolly, one of the screens foremost character actors, gives the performance of his ca- reer in this beautiful story.
 The added feature will be Miss Pacific Fleet. The gimmee girls have landed and have the marines well in hand in other words, it's Joan Blondell and Glenda Far rell off on another laugh-makine spree in sailortown.

who is eligible, under the regula- tions, for adult education.
 The only cost to the students would be the price of the neces- sary text books. There would be three courses: the first would call for sixteen classroom periods of two hours each, and would give general basic information on flying, such as the theory of flight, ele- rnentary aerodynamics, air traffic rules, aircraft controls, etc. The cost of the two text books for this course would be $500.
 Course number two would con- tinue where the first left off, and would require an additional twenty class-periods, during which the students would study airplane structures and materials, -propellers, engines and accessories. The cost of the two text books for this course would be an additional $500.
 Course number three would carry on still further for nine more classes, studying meteorology and navigation, and the additional text for this would be $2.50. ...
 There would be ten localities where classes would be held, as fol- lows: Hartford, Willimantic or Put nam, New London or Norwich, Meriden, New Haven, Waterbury, Bridgeport, Norwalk or Stamford, Danbury, and Torrington. Students would not have to come from the town itself, but could drive from outlying districts if necessary.
 The instructors would be capable ground-schoo teachers or qualified pilots who are known to be fitted for teaching students in class room. t... t.r.
 MT. Morris said that there would be no unfair competition with commercial flying schools now op- erating. The courses will not give practical flying experience, nor will 1t be possible to provide for actual manual work on airplanes or en- zines. The courses will be simply a basic, theoretical background providing the students with a gen. eral knowledge of aviation, with which they will be able to continue into the practical work if they so desire. However, thought is now being given to arranging for fifteen minutes to half an hour of flying instruction without additional charge to the student, MT. Morris
 The superintendent of schools in each town will, for the present, re- ceive any inquiries regarding the courses or applications from stu- dents, he said. Further plans will depend to a large degree on the in. terest shown.
