Campaign for
Proper Lighting of
Automobiles in State

A vigorous campaign against auto
drivers who insist on operating their
cars with only front light burning
or with the tail light sXtinguished,
has been started by Capt. Harold A.
Miller, in charge of the division for
the enforcement of the motor We
hicle laws, State Highway depart
ment.
Capt. Miller returned Monday
from Portland, where assisted by
three of the motorcycle police, he
launched the campaign in earnest.
He reported yesterday that on the
five previous nights an average of
70 cars each night were held up
on the roads leading into Portland,
and the drivers were not allowed to
continue on until the headlights and
tail-lights on their cars were lighted
and the front lights were in proper
focus.
Policemen of the city of Portland
and garagemen gave their coopera-
ton in the work of rounding up
autos that were not properly light
cd and assisting the car owners in
putting the lights. in order Only
one arrest was made during the
campaign in Portland. John Con-
nelly of Peaks Island being arrested
for reckless driving and driving
without license. He was arraign-
cd in the Portland municipal court
and paid a fine of $50 and costs.
Capt. Miller intends to visit other
parts of the State in the near flu
ture and see to it that the law re-
garding lights on autos is being COM
pied with by the drivers.

Auditor HayfOrd
Advises Grouping of
State Depts. for
More Efficiency

That some Maine Legislature in
the future, not far distant, will take
the forward step of, combining State
departments so that the total num-
Der of departments and boards will
be about ten instead of 81 as at
present, is the opinion of State Audi
tor f. d. Hayford. He believes that
in thus grouping departments along
related lines of work, the business or
the State can be conducted with
more efficiency and at considerable
less expense.
Under this grouping plan there
might be a Department of Publlc
Welfare. which would take care OF
the work now done by the Health
Department. the Charities and Cor
rections Board, and the boards OF
trustees for the various State insti-
tutions, such as the reformatories for
men and womem the insane hospi-
tails, and the school for feeble mind
ed. The problems of these several
bodies now functioning are closely
connected.
A Department of Natural Resour-
ces might be established to take over
the work now carried on by the
Department of Agriculture, the COM
missioner of inland fisheries and
game, and the commission of sea
and shore fisheries. A commissioner
of public works might handle such
problems as the elimination and pro-
lection of grade crossings. the pro-
motion of a campaign for the plant
ing of trees along the roads of the
State. and the engineering and archi-
tectual problems that arise in the
construction of new State buildings.
Mr.. Hayford pointed out yesterday
that these are only examples of how
the problem could be solved. He
firmly believes that Maine will fol-
low the example Of some of the other
states that have been grouping their
departments and boards in the in
terests of efficiency and economy.
Illinois which formerly had III diff
ferent departments and boards, has
combined them into nine. Governor
Frank Lowden being largely instru-
mental in bringing about these chan
ges. Massachusetts which formerly
had as many commissions and de-
partments as did Illinois, has group
ed them into twelve.
Different methods of grouping
these boards and departments are
in the different states. In
some states the departments of au-

Maine Greatly
Interested i'm Coal
Situation Probe by
Interstate Comm.

- Hon. Charles E. Quincy of Port
land. chairman of the Maine Public
Utilities Commission, in a letter sent
Tuesday to Hon. Charles c. McChord,
a member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. at Washington,
says that the people of Maine are
deeply interested in the investiga-
ton now being conducted by the In
ter-state Commerce Commission,
relative to the coal situation.
Maine, in common with the other
New England states, has for years
used anthracite coal as it's principal
domestic fuel" continues Chairman
Quincy in his letter.
This Is true with the exception of
the sections remote from transport
tation facilities, which use wood. For
reason Of the long usage Of anthra-
cite, it goes without saying that a
change will be produced only by
shortage of that commodity, or by a
substitute. OF course, if substitu-
ton is urged, with view Of reliev-
Ing the situation. the consumer will
naturally look for a reduction in
costs.
Anthracite coal prices in the more
populated sections of Maine are from
SIT to $50 per net ton. Some of our
people are now considering the pos
sibilities of fuel Oil for heating APP
planes, and there are some in
stances where that commodity is
now undergoing a test.
"Bituminous coal in it's present
delivery form does not, even at a.
much lower cost, appeal to the
householder. Screened and pre-
pared bituminous coal would, 1t is
believed. appeal to many citizens,
provided the price is attractive. The
cost or this coal to the consumer IL
therefore based on two factors, the
cost at mine. plus transportation.
1t ts realized that the carriers
north of the natural sateways
through which the coal would move
will be confronted with the matter of
fair and reasonable rates, and pos
sibly with the relation of such rates
TO those applying to anthracite re-
gions. Maine carriers now maintain
rates on bituminous coal less than
applied to anthracite. This being
= true as to local movements, the prin-
ciple may be properly considered in
arriving at joint through rates from
the West Virginia districts.

REMARKABLE COURT DANCE
1t 10 Shown With Great Effect in
"The Spanish Dancer"

Dancing in a stationary skirt! In
a court scene which was filmed for
Pola Negri's new star picture, 1.-The
Spanish Dancer" produced for Para
mount by Herbert Brenon, twenty
girls perform a ballet without a
single movement of the skirt being
visible. The entire ballet was done
with motions from the waist up.
Their feet remained motionless.
The girls appear in costumes of
black velvet. The skirts are spread
outward from the hips with the en-
ormous ranniers popular in the early
part of the seventeenth century.
Across the front of the velvet skirt
run two broad bands of silver. These
bands are waved and as the girls
stand hip to hip with swaying
| shoulders, the silver bands appear to
flow like running water. The ballet
dance is part of deliberately costumed
| court scenes, which take place in the
| throne room in the royal palace in
| Madrid,
"The' Spanish Dancer" which is
| playing at the Opera louise today and
! tomorrow, is one of the most drama
tic stories ever filmed. 1t is the first
costume picture in which Pola Negri
has starred since she came to Amer
lea. Featured opposite Pola Negri is
Antonio Moreno with Wallace Berry,
Kathlyn Williams, Gareth Hughes,

A list of the high lights of action
in the William Fox spectacular fea-
ture picture THE Silent Command"
to be shown for two days at the Co
lonial theatre would seem to indicate
that there are enough thrills, unusual
locations and dramatic incidents in
this screen play to make dozen
ordinary pictures. Directed by Z.
| Gordon Edwards from a story by Ru-
| fus King. "the Silent Command" is
far out of the beaten track of screen
plays.
'.herc are scenes in which the At
lahiic fleet plays an important part.
| The Panama Canal also figures
| prominently in the plot. Washing
ton, Annapolis and New York are all
! scenes of novel and interesting in
| cidents in the development of the
story. One of the big moments is
storm at sea and the realistic
wreckinG of vessel on the Atlantic
| Coast. There is an attempt by
|
tant plans belonging to the United
States Government, which is defeat
ed by an American naval officer. An
undercurrent of love and devotion,
and the romance of daughter of
foreign diplomat and the son of
United States admiral, furnish the
strong heart interest that is a feature
! of the story
The part of Captain Richard De-
/ catur, the heroic naval officer who
| is given the silent command, is
| played by Edmund Lowe. Alma Tell
plays opposite him, as his devoted
wife. Bella Lugosi, well known Oh
| the foreign stage and screen and an
accomplished player of a wide range
of characters, is Hisston, the master
mind of the band of international
spies. Marth Mansfield is the beau
! tiful decoy who undertakes to trap
Decatur. Other important members
