illustrates Peoples Interest
In State Fish HatcherieS

A very gratifying bit of proof of
the interest being shown in the
propagation of fish by the State has
just come to the attention of the In
land Fisheries and Game Department,
which is now busily engaged among
other things in tabulating the re-
ports of the several fish hatcheries in
it's charge. The item is that the en-
tire output of land-locked salmon
raised at the Camden State hatchery
this year has been distributed at a
total cost of $2.36 to the State-a new
record in that respect.
The output was $4,000 lingering
and 1880 yearling salmon. They
were all planted in the waters of
Knox, Lincoln and Waldo counties,
where in few years time they may
be expected to be large enough and
eager to take the bait Of the anxious
fishermen.
Superintendent H. W. Libby of the
Camden hatchery writes with his re-
port that the applicant for the little
fish for planting purposes were all SC
interested in seeing the work carried
lalong and in a proper manner, that
with one lone exception they came to
the hatchery by automobile and car
ried the fish to their destinations
thus saving the State the expense OF
sending messenger with each lot
That is something very unusual and
proves the interest of the people in
the hatchery work, as stated

ham Lincoln in 1s47 when he was
most actively engaged in the practice

In those days Lincoln and other
lawyers of the vicinity travelled
with the court. then Judge David
Davis, over what was known as the
Eighth Judicial Circuit. Horses and
buggies were used, it taking some-
times more than a day to travel from
one court house to another.
The monuments will be erected on
the county lines and boulder markers
will be erected in each county seat
where Judge Davis held court.
The work has been promoted by an
organization formed for the purpose,

Lisbon and the suspension or revoca-
ton Of operators license. No. 27,936
Of his daughter, Miss Muriel S.
CLANCY Of Lisbon. The complainant
was Walter B. Sanborn, county alter
nsy for Kennebec county. The COM
plaint arose out Of a collision of the
Clancy car on. Oct. 80 last with the
Stevens Duryea car. No. I'LL. owned
BY Samuel c. Manley of Augusta, on
the State highway between winthrop

that the Marley car was damaged
and that Miss CLANCY, who waa

ing recklessly and was a menace to
life and property. Attorney Sanborn
conducted the prosecution and Attor-
ney Frank A. Morey of Lewiston was
counsel for the defence. Secretary

ADJUSTMENTS
WHAT CAN'T A
WOMAN DO WITH
|"HAIRPINS?"

There is nothing that woman can't
do with hairpins.
All the world has recognized that
fact for some time. But for the real,
snappy transformation stuff. there is
no better exposition to be found of
what a woman can do with her
eternal companion than is given in
"Hairpins,'' the Paramount-Artcraft
picture which will be seen at the
Colonial theatre this afternoon and
tonight. Enid Bennett is the star and
she is ably assisted by Matt Moore,
William Conklin and Grace Morse.
Then. too. it is Thomas H. Ince pic
ture which speaks volumes in itself.
'Hairpins" is just that kind of a
play that hits everyone ifi the right
kind of vamp. The part of the siren
is played by Grace Morse in the role
of Mrs. Kent. whose knowledge of
vamping serves to bring about a
change for the better in the affection
of Rex Rossmore~ for his wife. Muriel.
played by Miss Bennett.
Miss Morse, by her artistic interpre-
tation, adds greatly to the excellence
of the picture. And Furthermore, by
her vamping. she transforms Mrs.
Rossmore from the quiet. unassuming
and untidy housewife. into a siren who
wins the heart of every man she meets.
There is plenty of delicious. clean
comedy to the play and the story is
sustained to the very end.
The Last Nip" is a two-reel COM
edy that promises some of the snap
piest fun vet seen at the Colonial The
18th episode of Elmo the Fearless
and the Pathe Review, will add still
more to the excellence of the program.

asserted that the accident was a
trifiling one, the damage little and the
insurance company promptly settled
and that it was purely accidental. one
of those things that might happen to
anyone, but partly due to the Manley
car not quickly turning out in re-
Spouse to the warning of the Clancy
horn. He also said it looked like
spite on the part of someone and
thought it would be extremely hard
for such a stain to be fixed on the
young lady. He asserted that no
case had been made out against. his
client.
Attorney Sanborn said. that he was
there for no one on account of spite
or righteousness, but a duty imposed
on him by the law. The Legislature
had enacted these laws to put stop
to reckless driving on the highways
and while he as county attorney had
not succeeded in stopping all of it in
Kennebec county, he felt assured that
it had been 1essened through the
prosecutions brought. He felt that
his witnesses had been straightfor-
ward and truthful and that the case
against Miss CLANCY was plainly
made out.
Secretary Ball announced that the
attorney generals department had in
vestigated the case, but that the in
vestigator was out of town. Mr.. Ball
had also personally investigated and
had found from some of the promi-
nent citizens of Lisbon that, while
Miss CLANCY was fine girl and Of a
fine family, she was considered a
reckless driver.
Secretary Ball then dismissed the
case against Captain CLANCY and
car. He also suspended Miss Chaney's
operators license for the remainder
of the year 1920, with the warning
that before license for 1921 would
be issued he should make further in
Quiry and require the recommends
ton of the local officers before grant
ing it. He thought the defendant
realized the situation and would profit
thereby. He did not feel like sus-

accident, and her mother, Mrs. A. b.
CLANCY of Lisbon.
Miss CLANCY testified that she was
not driving at an excessive rate of
speed; that she sounded her horn. at
a distance sufficient to allow the
Manley car to take the side of the
road but that instead, it was in about
the middle of the road and very
leisurely started for the other side, so
slowly that she was compelled to
drive clear onto the gravel outside the
macadam. which caused the car to
swerve. She heard no noise of blow
or collision and did not know that
she had hit the other car until notified
of court action. She was not going
more than 20 or Is miles an hour and
was not in the habit of doing so. She
had driven a car for four years and is
10 years of age. She had never had
but one accident before. that in
Massachusetts at the intersection of
streets, when another auto driver did
not sound his horn.
She had been called into the Au-
gusta municipal court on this matter
and had supposed that the case
against the car was dismissed or
dropped, although she had been told
there would probably be a hearing
before the secretary of State about
the licenses. The case in court re-
suited in her being fined $35 and "a
costs. beside SIS for an Augusta law
yer, her own lawyer being away in
the South.
Mr.. Barney was sitting with Miss
CLANCY in the car and saw nothing
but the number OF the Manley car
and the gravel on the side Of the road
into which their car was forced by
the Manley cars slowness in turning
out. The CLANCY car horn was
sounded loudly and in time. He
neither saw. heard or felt any COL
lision and did not know their car had
struck the other one.
Mrs. CLANCY said she was usually
in the car when her daughter was out
driving and considered her a very
careful and skilful driver. She had
never been in other accidents except
those mentioned and had driven cars
for four, years. She is attending
school in Auburn.

TALLY as follows:
The Manley car was on the way to
North Monmouth and when about a
mile west of Winthrop. Mr.. Pierce
driving, "honk" was heard behind,
at which the car was pulled over to
the right, SO far that the wheels were
either at or on the grass. The CLANCY
car came up at great speed and in
| passing, without slowing down, side
swiped the Manley car, breaking off
the bumper and denting the left mud
guard. The Manley car was stopped,
but the CLANCY car proceeded. with
out slowing up or stopping.
Both witnesses were positive that
the CLANCY car was going from Is to
SO miles an hour and that it was not
under proper control. as the rear OF
the car was swerving badly from side
to side and continued to so do as long
| as it was in sight.
Mr.. Stinchfield was going toward
Winthrop and was on the other side
OF the depression or little valley in
the road. and was slowing down SO
that he would not meet, the Manley
| car at the bottom of the valley. He
saw the CLANCY car come over the
hill at great speed and saw the Man
ley car turn out to the extreme side
of the road. Then came the collision
and the sound Of the impact was loud
and plainly heard by him, some 200
yards away. He stopped his car and
walked to the Marley car and saw the
damage. The CLANCY car went by
him at the same rapid rate, without
stopping or apparently looking back
to see IL any damage had been done
Tor anyone injured.
