STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting and Council Tuesday,

Deputy Attorney General William
H. Fisher has rendered the following
opinion, which will be of interest to
all communities, Boards of Health
and health officers:
Augusta, Me. Oct 1, 1921.
State Department of Health,
Augusta. Me.
Gentlemen: In your letter OF Sept.
20, you ask the following questions:
a. In Chapter 4, Section SO, Para
graph LII, towns, cities and village
corporations may make bylaws or
ordinances respecting infectious dis
eases and health. Must such by
laws or ordinances be submitted to
the State Department of Health for
approval? Would their nom submits
sion for approval render them in
Waldo"
Section IS Of Chapter 10, provides
that bylaws made by local boards
of health must be approved by jus
tice of the supreme judicial court and
such bylaws were not valid until SO
approved Section 10 of Chapter 172
of the Public Laws of 1919 provides
1.-The powers vested in local boards OF
health by authority of Section As of
Chapter IS of the Revised Statutes

to mean that bylaws made by local

80. In many municipalities the local
health officer is the sole health au-
thority; in others the local board of
health is retained. (See Section 10
of Chapter 172, Laws of 1879 In
those towns where there is no local
board of health may the local health
officer, under the control and dircc.
ton of the State Department of
Health, make, alter and amend such
orders and bylaws as they shall
think necessary and proper"
Our answer to this question is yes
I BY Section 10 Of Chapter liz of the
, Public Laws Of 1919, it is provided
that the local health officer Shall be
ex offlcio a member and the cx-
ecutive officer of the local board of

ADJUSTMENTS
BARRYMOREIN
COMEDY THAT WAS
BIG STAGE HIT

A fitting example of how a sue
cessful stage play can be made into
an even more successful motion pic
ture will be presented at the Colonial
theatre today.
The production is 1.-THE Great Ad-
venture" which, as stage play,
helped make Arnold Bennett famous
The picture, which is a First Ma
tional attraction, will help make Lii
onel Barrymore more famous. He
has already appeared in two produc-
lions for First National, and, having
marked up an exceptional record in
dramatic parts, now exemplifies the
art of creating laughs along with en-
tertainment containing unusual heart
interest
THE Great Adventure" is a come
dy, but not comic. The star has the
! role of a ell-knoWn artist who eff
faces himself from society and be-
comes valet. The passing away Of
his own valet permits him to do this,
and he becomes his own valet, at
tending his own funeral and mourn
ing with his friends and relatives
And then enters a charming little
Wluo"-anu tHlnSS DeSln TO happen
and complications begin TO compli-
cate. No less than a dozen other
screen favorites appear in support
of Mr.. Barrymore, thus affording this
! production the distinction of being
one of the real so called all-star mo-
ton pictures, with a national star in
the main role.
! But that isn't the only good thing
that will be found on today's pro-
gram for THE Hay Seed" a Sun
shine comedy; the Burton Holmes
Travelogue and Kilograms will also
be given.-Adv.

Another Effort
to Get in Touch
with Planet Mars

I New York. oct. 9-Rocket radio or
camera-which will be first to lay
bare the secret of Mars?
OF course. it isn't at all certain that
anyone Of the three Will prove a sue
cessful Sherlock Holmes Of the skies
Tut scientists, lured on by an age-old
curiosity concerning our neighboring
planet, are pressing along all three
paths.
The latest development to set the
scientific world again agog over the
old question of whether there was
life on Mars was the announcement
from Paris of r. rMcAfce. American
scientist and Professor David Todd
American astronomer, that they pur-
posed to snapshot the planet by
using an abandoned mirc-shaft in
Chile as the barrel for a telescope.
Only q short time before Signor
Marconi of wireless fame had put
kick Of interest in the most fantas-
tic of scientific inquiries by sug-
costing that radio signal of 150,0 900
meters which he had picked up might
have come from some Marian armed
with Il mammoth sending set
But it was left to Professor Robert
H Goddard of Clark College in Wor-
cester, Mass, to suggest making an
investigation of the moon BY means
Of a multiple charge. high efficiency
rocket capable of carrying cameras
Of other recording apparatus needed
TO explore the unknown regions of
the upper air. AS tho claim was
made that a rocket could be con-
structcd of unlimited cruising power,
it has been suggested that it might
be shot up to Mars instead of the
moon, which many scientists affirm
is uninhabited. One or two daring
individuals even have volunteered to
re shot up in place Of a camera.
The possibility that some folk
might be wandering up and down the
valleys of Mars has excited the curl
osity of astronomers and laymen
throughout all the ages, for Mars is
the nearest planet to the earth and
the easiest to observe.
Imaginative writer's took their
readers on trips to the moon and
laid the scenes of their stories in the
surroundings of Mars. Saturn and
other planets but there was little
scientific knowledge to furnish a
basis for such fiction.
The perfecting Of the high powered
telescope and the adaptation of pho

lazy current and a stone thrown into
the air would sink with graceful
moderation to the ground. He made
no attempt to describe how tho Mar
tians themselves might appear to
workings but he said they would not
resemble human beings.
The Marian day is 90 minutes
longer than ours but the seasons are
twice as long. Lowell asserted that
Mars is slowly dying for want of wa
ter and the canals had been built in
an epic struggle of the Martians to
maintain life. He suggested that the
spots observed at the intersections of
some of the canals might be cities
built up around points where the
greatest amount of water could be
concentrated by the canals.
