DEAR SIR have the honor to en-
close you herewith the opinion Of our
Attorney, Mr.. Benz r. Waldo, rela-
tive to the Interpretation of Act Is OF
1908. Kindly be governed according
ly. Yours very truly,
J. a. ESTOPINAL, Sect'y.

DR.. J. A. Estopinal, Secretary Louis

DEAR SIR:-Replying to your
inquiry of January 18th, 1909, as to
whether the tax collectors of the sew
eral parishes were prohibited from
issuing licenses to practitioners OF
medicine without demanding proof OF
registration in accordance with the
laws of the State of Louisiana, | beg
to respectfully refer you to the pro-
visions of Act No. IS of 1908, which
specifically states that:
"Section l. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State OF
Louisiana. That it shall be the duty
of State Tax Collectors, throughout
The State, to demand and require
satisfactory proof of registration in
accordance with the laws of the State.
IRON all practitioners OF medicine.
pharmacy and of dentistry when
applying for State license.
,v,<h
etc., That State Tax Collectors, and
SheriGs, or other officers, exercising
he duties of State Tax Collector, are
hereby forbidden to issue State tax
licenses without first complying with
he provisions of Section l of this
Act.''
The registration referred to in the
Act quoted above is that provided for
by Act 40 of 1894; it is required under
this Act that certificates issued to
persons engaged in the practice of
medicine in any of it's branches, shall
obtain from one of the State Boards of
Medical Examiners. certificate as to
the qualifications of the practitioner,
which certificate shall BIS r. corded
with the Clerk of the District Court Of
the parish in which the practitioner
esides and shall be delivered to the
STATE Board of Health so that the
holder of the certificate may be PLACED
oy the Board on the list of registered
physicians and surgeons. The law
pointedly says that until such re
cordation is made the holder of said
certificate shall not exercise any rights
or privileges therein conferred to
practice medicine" so that physicians
must not only have the Ger tiicate from
the Stat Board of Medical Examn-
ers, but, as a prerequisite to pracvic
ing medicine, they must have recorded
this certificate with the Louisiana
STATE Board of Health.
AS he purpose of the Act of 1908,
N my opinion, appears to be to re-
gister and prevent the unlawful prac-
tice of medicine in this State by re-
quiring persons attempting to pay a
physicians license to show, by the
certificate of registration of the Louis
lana State Board of Health, that they
are actually physicians, there can be
no doubt that the Act of 1908 is
perfectly valid and constitutional.
Trusting that the above answers
fully your inquiry, l am,
Yours very truly,

Hendry is taken into a small boat, and
standing right over the imm literally
blows a bagpipe into him. But even this
stimulus is of no avail. A momentary hest
tation and Wolfe swims to the yacht and
with very little difficulty climbs aboard.
At 5;55 p. m the great swim is over after
Wolfe had been in the water nearly four
teen hours and had covered more than
thirty miles. I did my best, boys; there
is something wrong he said as he went
below. He did not seem in the least ex-
hausted, his pulse was good and his tenn
p~erature very little below normal. Further
progress was useless, as It would have
taken Wolfe out more and more to the
North Sea, and as the tide had still over
three hours to run he would at the end OF
it have been at least six miles from the
French coast, Then with the next tide he
would have come back gradually into
shore-in all perhaps seven hours from the
time at which he abandoned tho swim"

shouted 10 the piper, who, delighted with
binary career of activity. Think Of I
Love a Lassie' on the bagpipes for three
quarters Of an hour and when one is not
feeling as good as one could wish. The
tide turned at $50, and I understood that
so far all had exceeded the most sanguine
expectations. Wolfe had started soon
after high water on the eastern tide, had
cleared the South Goodwin lightship on the
land side and now was six and a half
miles from the English coast.
Sending Off Pigeons.
Here the first pigeon was sent off. It
circled round and round the yacht, and
then suddenly coming to a decision made
straight for Dover. Many pigeons were
dispatched during the course of the day,
some to Dover, others to London, and a
couple to Cardiff. Lolling on deck one
transported oneself mentally TO Piccadilly
and heard the newsboys shouting Channel
swim! Latest!' With the ebb tide Wolfe
came down channel into line with St.
Margaret's bay. Hour after hour the rou-
tine which / nave described was regularly
maintained-feeds, bagpiping and the com
pany Of other swimmers, I intervals we
were cheered by passing ships. Near mid
channel two English cruisers afforded
much excitement. Twice Wolfe passed
safely through a thick mass OF enormous
jelly fish. The French coast became clearer
and clearer as the confidence among the
crowd increased. At midday the heat OF
the sun forced Wolfe 10 adopt a head COW
ering in addition TO the goggles he had
already worn. BY way Of refreshment he
took off the glasses and was thoroughly
swilled with fresh water. When at 2 o'clock
It was announced that barely four miles
separated the m from the nearest
land every one became wild with delight.
The flood tide would soon set in and the
swim was as good as over. We passed a
Boulogne trawler, whose crew entered into
conversation with our French pilot. They

Wolffe's stroke is still long and regular,

during the swim and he never dropped be-
low twenty-three; once or twice he rose to
~twenty-six. The first immediate novelty Of

brisk and, of course, distinctly SLOPPY
two of the party had actually made at
tempts themselves and several had wit
messed more than a dozen efforts. The
more I heard the more I grew to realize
the difficulties Of the undertaking. Wolffe's
most enthusiastic partisans seemed dis
posed to reverse the old established idea
that what one man can do Is possible TO
another, and, in concluding that what one
man cannot do another car, threw some
doubt upon the truth Of Webb ever hav-
ing completed the swim at all.
Effect of the Pipes.
MANY on board had allotted duties to
perform. The swim had been little more
than an hour In progress when Piper Hen
dry opened proceedings. For an hour he
performed on the bagpipes a selection Of
Scotch airs with a vigor which clearly
showed that swimming should not be the
only test of endurance that day, 7 was

a difficult proceeding. After trying all

when the water is very calm a large cup
can be used. Each feed consists Of tea,
milk or hot meat extracts, less than half
q pint al a. time, Solids, on the whole, are
found TO be impracticsble with the excep-
ton OF a few sponge rusks occasionally.
Little Difference is paid TO digestion. The
meal being over, Wolfe started off again,
and Immediately Kellingley dived in and

with Wolfe having the better of It, for
once he actually came within about a mile
of the French shore, when he was forced to
quit from exhaustion. This season he Is
active again and any day mag see the great
ambition of his life crowned with success.
In his eighth attempt Wolfe was attended
by the Sea Wolf, a small yacht which
kept close to him all the time, and one Of
the men-Adolphe Abrahams-who saw the
swim from the boat, says:
we were on board the Sea Wolf at 2
a m. and stayed huddled in a corner OF
the deck until a quarter past 3, when we
steamed leisurely out Of Dover, receiving
~eNtravagant wishes for success and a little
chaff from the harbor mouth, In the early

the Great setback.

LONDON, Aug. 9.-Of the few monumental
performances In the domain Of physical en-
durance quite the most prominent is the
swim across the English channel. More
than a quarter of a century has elapsed
since Matthew Webb performed the great
feat. yet II is singular that not a man has
been able to duplicate it. In all about fifty
attempts nave been mad and a majority
OF these by powerful swimmers, but not
one could be found to stay the entire jour
rsy. But a study OF Webb's capabilities
and his emulators reveals the secret OF his
success. He was a faster swimmer than
any Of his successors, while his pluck and
amount OF endurance were wonderful. An
instance OF his grit was clearly demon
strated toward the end Of his swim. When
within four and a half miles of the Calais
sands he was hit by a current which came
swirIing around Cape Grisnez, but il did
not force him TO give up. Webb was then
nav than fourteen hours in the water and
Wi have been firing, but for seven hours
longer he bucked the current and finally
walked out on the beach al Calais. II was
slow work TO take nearly seven hours for
four and a half mIes, nut Il fully shows the
determination OF the man. He was Pa

that time covered over forty miles,
