From Wiscassi't the I'i'ary and Iho schooner Bovvdoin will sail on Mac Millan's ninth vo.'nge into the noi-ih. The big guns n the navy emit thundered farewell as the little steam er slipped away on the first leu of the trin beyond tlio AA'tic circle. A navy hand on the pier played Auld l.ang Syne. The crowd which had crammed it wny into the navy yar.( cheered. The harbor echoed with tli'i shrieks of marine whistles as crnlt at anchor joined in the opening tn bule. , Overhead, as the Peary paused on It s way out to set, a dozen hyilro-air-pianca circled.

(Scarcely less in lmpoimo ... tbo exploration or, mtie auowu L: .,,..1. Hlleimcro Island, Grant Land, Baffin island, and (actions of T.i.,..inr . well as tbo ancient Nora settlements on tbo wcalcm edge of Greenland, In addition plant and animal life, metcorogical condi 'tions, and other scientific questions of the fnr north will bo studied. Due to the high mobility given by airplanes, however, tho expedition in tends to bo nbstnt little mora than tbreo months. Head for Greenland. Tho expedition after touching at Wiscosset, Maine, and then at Sydney, N S . for coal and other supplies, will go direct to Etah, Greenland, where tho main baso will bo ealablislied. From there tho airplanes will go to Capo Hubbard on tho northern point of Axel lleiberg land, to establish an advance flying base. ' Two ships aro being used. The Howdoin, a veteran of other Arctic trips with MucMillnn, accommodate MncMillan, scientists and other per sonnel of the main expedition, lb J I'eary In conveying tho throe airplanes and the nnvy section of tho expedi tion. But two of tho airplanes wil be used actively in exploration, the third being hold at Etah with the vessels as a reserve for possiblo emergemy. Pianos to Scout. 1'ho plan calls for two airplanes to scout northwest from Axel lleiberg land In exploring tho unknown region and in looking for land which, pos sibly of continental mass, Is believed to lio between AlnBka and the north pole. UnlOBS land la discovered, bow over, tho entire unknown region will not bo covered because of tho limita tion of tho aircraft operations. At least 200,000 scunre miles will bo surveyed by having tho planes alioot out In three different lines for u dis tance of about BOO miles. The two ' will travel together at all times and it land is discovered tho advance fly ing baso will be advanced to It and the (coutlng opornllons continued from the new point. In audi an event it is conceivable that tho entire un known nrca may bo surveyed. If ouch a land ia found (bo Amer ican flag will be raised lint whether it will be claimed lor the United Stnt -b has not been dciided. The expedition anils without special Instructions from Washington ou the course to pursue on this question while unofficial ad vices from Ottawa have iudioatcd that tho Canadian government might interest itself it any claims to per minirtit possession of binds north uf her contineiitiil borders were set up. The Canadian view la represented as being that all lands in the Arctic from 00 to I'll degrees of west longitude up to tho polo varo hers." 1 1 NAVY PLANES FOR POLAR TRIP LEAVE BOSTON j Two of the navy planes, the NA-1 and NA-2, which are to accompany the MacMlllan expedition to the polar regions, are shown beinq taken to the Peary, MacMillan's ship at Boston, Mass., after their 32 hour flight from Philadelphia, Pa.

SALEM, Ore., June 17. The state fish commission has authority to dis charge an employe att any time, and therefore has no right to sign away Huch right by entering into a contract with any employe for any stated per iod of time. Attorney General V;in Winkle takes this position in nn opin ion relative to the employment of Hugh Mitchell as director of hatcher ies, with whom tiie eommifsion enter ed into a contract, for four years at $.'J."0 a innth. The attorn"v-;:faaraI hohis that the contract U invalid.' This opinion fr-;;.i tiie attorney-general pro'Kib'y means that the fisn commission, which will be newly or ganized by tiie recent appointment of A. (i. Iienls. and S. M. Uarbind as members, will attempt to dispense with Mitchell's services. Mitchell will probably fight tin. since he is believed to have fortified himself with legal opinion before he entered into the contract with the state. -" Mitchell was employed by the com mission more than a year agofBhort- ly after the commission had dispensed with the services of E. C Clanton. Mitchell had for 20 years been in the government hatchery service and re fund to enter the state service, except on condition that he be employd for a period of years. and sociology through Institutions of human relations and welfare." Criminals and delinquents will be divided into three clause. Judge IJnd ary predicted, the most dangerous class to society being found among the "super-inteliigent" or those who are clever enough to cheat and: rob and dodge the law; the second class will be the "dullards" who are too stupid to know they are doing wrong and easily captured by the authorit ies; and third and least dangerous group, "the feeble minded, who will be investigated by the psychiatrists and isolated from society in institu tions more like hospitals than prisons."
