Approved Sept 15. Auto Lenses Legal in Maine In spite of the fact that* tho list of automobile headlights and lenses as approved by the Public Utilities Com mission was announced when decided upon, hundreds of people, judging by the number of machines found by the traffic laws officers with illegal lights, are not yet familiar. H. A. Khorey, Jr., chief of the Division of Motor Ve hicles Inspection, said, in relation to the matter: “This department and its officers | find no pleasure in hauling up' an au | tomobile driver for illegal lights, but the law specifies what can be used for lights and therefore the others can not. We are put here to enforce that law, not for any pleasure in it, but i for the protection of the public, in [eluding those very drivers who violate I the law. Hence, the department is bringing to task all found with unau | thorized lights. The faster that job is ;completed, the quicker the public will be freed from that danger—which is greater than many people realize or believe. The highway police's order* are strict and may to some seem un necessarily so. but the orders are on ly in complete unison with the law. which was made for a purpose and we are expected to see that the purpose is accomplished. You may have noticed that some thing like 200 autos were tagged in one day at the Lewiston fair for vio lation of the lights law. That is.very small compared with one of the Areos I took fairs where in one day over WO Illegally lighted autos were tagged The rush for the proper equipment by the offenders was something of a hustle—but It put the S00 machines in legal standing and made it so much safer for the public. "I wish you would once more tell the people what lenses for motor ve- ; hides are legal in Maine. We have ; been authorized to erect a building on the State camp ground where lenses 1 may be tested and adjusted. And this last matter is fully as important as having a legal lens, for the best lens in the market may,be put in an almost worthless condition by non-adjustment for the machine to which it is at- j tached. The acquisition of this test- ; Ing building will be a great thing for the automobile owners and wi-U sure ly do away with a lot of the trouble that is now found with auto lights. The lenses which have been approved for use in Maine are: "Frown Reflector. Parab-O-Ught Lens, Benzer I>enz, Bauseh Lomb, Shnler Roadlighter. Full Ray. Fracto Lltes. Star Diffusing. Clamert, Typj A. Flamert, Type B, Controlite, Cona phore, Dillon. Holloplane, Legalite, Liberty. McBeth. McKee, National, No-Glire. Osgood. Patterson Lenz, Raydex, Saferllte. Suess Rib, Sunlight, Sun Ray and Violet Ray. “Motor vehicles equipped with these lenses, properly adjusted, will have 1 no trouble with the traffic officers on account of lights.” AUGUSTA LOCALS Misses Nellie and Eunice Tibbetta of Canaan were here over Sunday and visited with friends and relatives.

The confer ence took place Friday afternoon at the Augusta House and William R. Chapman, the director, was present and gave out some interesting facts relative to the Festival. When asked how the prospects for the great Festival in October, ihe twenty-fifth year, Mr. Chapman said: "Things never looked more en couraging. This year will be the most wonderful of all in producing the new sensational singers of the day, and I do hope the people of Maine will appreciate rriy efforts in bringing three young Maine singers who have made their names famous ,in the musical world. Earle Charles ' Marshall of Auburn, tenor, Helen Yorke of Bethel, coloratura soprano, Phoebe Crosby of Islesboro, dramatic soprano, have achieved recognition and praise from the press and public. Helen Yorke, fascinating, pretty, with a bird-like voice that thrills while you thrill, will surely sing her , way to every heart. She has received most favorable notices wherever she appeared, and will undoubtedly be a | member of one of the big opera com i panics this season. Phoebe Crosby is destined to be a second Nordica, her beauty of voice, and enunciation make her a delight. So much for Maine. We have besides the greatest dramatic soprano of the Metropolitan , Opera Company, the one who sang with Caruso in all his roles last win tcr. the best young artist in the world today. Rost Ponselle. What a joy to hear the glorious tones of her voice. Then to com plete our opera list, and get artists familiar with Aida, we have Genia I', nariova the celebrated Russian mezzo-soprano, Bocca-Fusco. the great Italian tenor, and Fernando Guaineri.' the baritone of the gan Carlo Opera Company, who was heard in some places in Maine in concert last spring, and is rated as one of the great baritones of the day, also Raymond Otis Hunter, to young bass-baritones, and our own Ernest. Hill as Messenger. A superb cast for ibis gr ot opera, whose chorus num bers will be magnificently rendered by our great Festival Chorus. Orders for tickets should be placed at your local Festival headquarters as soon as possilbe. . AMUSEMENTS “The Truth About Husbands” Is A Vital Play Vital in its every scene and in Its stirring theme. "The Truth about Husbands.” a First National produc tion which will he seen at the Colo < nial theatre today, is a photodrama i that no one can afford to miss. The j play is taken from the story "The ' Profligate." by Sir Arthur Wing Pi I r.ero,- and is easily one of the greatest i products of the famous English writ ! er. May McAvoy is the star of the 1 production and she is supported by j a cast of unusual excellence while every needed detail in the way of scenic and costume backgrounds has been provided. The story centers around the life of Dunstan Kenshaw, a wealthy bach elor. who meets Janet Preece under an assumed name. They fall in love, he promises to marry her, but later deserts her to wed Leslie Brownell, a young society girl, and goes abroad with her. Numerous complications at once develop and Leslie learns the truth about her husband, whom she had previously regarded as above re proach. She leaves him. but a rec onciliation is finally’ effected on the death-bed of Janet In lighter vein, but none the less interesting, "Torchy’s Night Hood,” an Educational comedy, will bo given. The Burton Holmes Travelogue and the Kinograms are also on the pro gram.—Adv. Charming Alice Calhoun Coming Alice Calhoun, one of the most charming and talented of young wo men now appearing on the screen, will be seen at the Colonial theatre Tuesday in “Closed Doors," an in teresting. agreeable story', told with plenty of Speed. There are some strong emotional scenes and the most satisfactory of endings—"See Amer ica Thirst” is a comedy that is al?o on Tuesday’s bill.—Adv. The Plato Plate The reaction of people to the lessons of the World War has resulted, say scientists, in "Strange phenomena." A restlessness is apparent all along the line of human endeavor. Many people, to escape this, are seeking re pose in the lighter forms of home recreation, as in the study of new found ideas, the playing of games, etc. Entirely apart from their every-day work these people are likely to show an increasing'interest, as winter ap proaches. Kor their entertainment and instruction there has been in vented the Plato Plate. The Plato Plate promises to have wide popularity. Tts promoters .are assured from actual tests that those who use the plate are liable to be benefited by their investigations of this new idea. The plate is simple in design. It is easily assembled. It adjusts itself readily to the mind of the operator. On receipt of $l.(Vl by The Plato Mfg. Co. of 3S Court Sq.. Boston.
