NEW MOTOR LAW DRASTIC,
WITH SEVERE PENALTIES

The motor-vehicle bill which with
little doubt will soon be enacted into a
law by our state legislature contains
many new provisions which are cal
culated to benefit greatly both motor
owners and users Of other means of
transportation, besides inuring very
much to the advantage of the state.
Among some of the characteristic
improvements over the present law
may be mentioned the fact that:
The speed limit on public highways
will be limited to forty miles an hour,
while towns and cities may establish
their own speed limits, but not less
than ten miles an hour.
Two front and one rear lights are
to be used and DINNERS are to be
compulsory on the front lights The
law makes it an offense to fail to use
DINNERS when approaching not only
other motors but even groups Of ped
estrians and drivers of other vehicles.
The license plate must be plainly dis
cernible under the lights.
No person less than fifteen years
of age is to be permitted to drive m
automobile.
The bill prescribes the manner o1
meetinG other conveyances and e.
pecially directs that In passing horse
drawn vehicles or mounted horses on
hillside roads, the motor must talre
the canon side.

Valentines Day was observed in all
the rooms of the Training School, but
not in the usual way. The pupils of
the lower grades had valentine boxes
but the majority of the valentines
were contributions for the Near East
fund. Miss Green, the penmanship
teacher in the fourth and eighth
grades gave each child i blotter, PEN
wiper, and valentine combined. Mrs.
Lawrence, Mr.. Rutland and Miss But
teryorth gave the children of the 7th

of fluffy pop corn balls which were
enjoyed more than the ordinary kind.

working under the 23rd are many tho
usands of German prisoners. The road
making material in this section is
mostly a magnasian limestone that
may be quarried from any old hill,
and which on exposure to the wealth
or, all too quickly decrepitates, and as
a result, our army trucks grind the
roads up almost as fast as they can
be repaired.
With few days excepted, it has
rained steadily for the past two
months and the whole country is q
sea of mud. The subject of weather
has been worn threadbare, but they
are telling one story about an engin-
eer finding an object sticking in the
road, which on investigation, he dis
covered to be a cavalryman, who re-
marked shortly, but pointedly that the
mud was rather annoying. He asked
that his horse under him might be
excavated, and then it was seen that
the horse was standing on bale OF
hay, cheerfully munching it.
Life in our camp is one continuous
round of pleasure and ease. In the
morning we rise before the sun, quick
ly slip on wet hip boots and swim out
to revielle, after which we partake
of breakfast of corned willy or bac-
on washed down by lubricating fluid
falsely termed coffee, and which we
have a suspicion was salvaged from
motor truck transmission. The fare
is sometimes varied by the substitu-
ton of thick discs of strange rub
ber-like compound mixed with tin
foil. They are called flapjacks, but
the only time they flap is when they
are swallowed. After this the men
prance out gaily to work, praising
their officers in various ways and odd
phrases. After dinner has been ser
we'd and the picks and shovels have
been stored away about p. m, all
adjourn to their respective billets and
participate in the popular song en-
titled: when the He'll are we going
home ?"
l am now located at Suelly, about
twelve miles southwest of Veriun,
and am attached to regimental head
quarters, being in permanent charge
of a detail of German prisoners en-
gagged in keeping the camp cleaned
up. There are quite a number of units
stationed here. Our billets are of cor
rugated iron and are very cold affairs,
but as it seldom gets cold enough to
frost, we are able to get by nicely
much better than in Maryland last
winter.
l am in the best of health, but I
have q job of dental work / wish I
was near enough to you to get done.
Our army dentists being proficient in
passing the buck" are unable to do
bridge work, and one side of my face
is on the bum in consequence.
Best wishes to you and other Gun
