Like an arrow it darts up to the iced

Skiing has taken root to an ex-
traordinary extent in Switzerland. Even
the poorest youth does not want to do
without skis, though they might only
consist of a couple OF crudely adjusted
barrel slaves. Thanks to the ski, the
boys and girls living on remotely stu
ated farms are now able to attend school
every day; their parents are no longer
isolated for the best part of the long
winter months and thanks also, to these
wooden wings the mail and news
papers can be delivered regularly.
Sport is furthermore made easier By

medieval, quaint and curious, and will
become haven of rest and healthful

During the past five winters, in spite
of the war, the numerous winter sport
resorts tucked away in places over 5000
feet above sea level managed to have
a season on a limited scale, and now
that conditions are becoming normal
it is expected that the winter 1890
will see a great many visitors flock to

case of the younger generation. Even
some of the passes are quite animated.
as winter is the time of the great trans
port of merchandise over the mountains,
such as the Veltiner wines in the case
of the GriSons. From the hgh-lying
pastures they slide down to the valley
the hay which had been stored in the
picturesque huts, and the woodcutters
in their turn are busy in the high
forests. The tree trunks fall cracking
before the ak and Ratchet and the logs
dart like arrows down snow runs to the
traffic beaten roads below.
Nowhere on earth have the possbili-
ties of winter sport been more keenly
realized than in Switzerland. There is
wide choice of resorts which possess
scientifically laid out toboggan and bob
sleigh runs, ice Kinks, thrilling ski
jumps, etc.

That the young men Of the country
are DESTROYS Of awaiting themselves of
the many advantages offered by the
schools established by the Motor
Transport Corps is evidenced by the
fact that James d. Hammett. president
of the South Carolina Cotton Manu-
facturers' Association, telegraphed to
United States Senator Smith of South
Carolina asking that no more than
fifty men from one county be taken
into the Motor Transport Corps be-
cause the number of enlistments in ex-
cess of this number of enlistments
would work hardships on the manufac-.
turers of the south. .@ s...,.s,
Those who served with the American
expeditionary, force realize most fully.
that motor transport is necessary. to
the success of an army. 1t has been
demonstrated time and time again that
the Motor Transport Corps was inval-
liable and to many who have looked
unthinkingly upon this corps as merely
luggage and provision carrying
branch of the service it is well to state
that the Motor Transport Corps is a
tactical and highly specialized branch
of the service. Without the proper
means OF placing man power in the
necessary place at the critical moment
victory cannot be obtained. This
statement may be bromide. but in the
last analysis. 1t is the essence Of
truth.

has radiator trouble. In the depart
ment devoted to this work men are
taught how to solder SO that the
soldering is permanently efficacious.
This work comes under the head OF
the department of metal working.
There Is a growing cry throughout
the United States for expert metal
workers and 1t is the consensus Of
opinion that this industry will offer
many advantages to the young man
entering upon a business career. In

The average automobolist has had
at least one sad experience with
ignition. and manufacturers Of the
different systems employed today
have not yet succeeded in devising
one that is fool proof. In the division
of the school devoted to battery work
one is first impressed with the skill
full and time conserving method in
which the tools are laid on the table
with the batteries so that there is
no lost motion. If a man wants a
mallet. he knows exactly where that
mallet is II he desires wrench,
he knows its position on the table.
Here again is the ever important fact
that system predominates. In the
battery room our arrival was not
noticed because we tiptoed. The
writer made the suggestion to Col.
Halves that we go in quietly as he
wanted to be able to see the men
without their being distracted by
the presence of the commanding
officer. So when we entered the
room and took our seats in the rear
of the class, we faced only the in
structor. A raised finger Of warn
ing from the colonel notified the
teacher to continue without inter-
ruption. From point of vantage
the writer could notice the eager
faces of many of the students as the
instructor put questions as to the
method of handling batteries. Later
the Instructor said that the batteries,
sent in from army vehicles, batteries
: that in civil life, would have been
thrown away, were so handled that
make one serviceable battery out of
every three that were sent in as
dead stock.
To the motorist the tire department
appears the most interesting. This de-
partment is technically called 1.-The
study of tire anatomy" and there the
students are given a course in the con-
struction, repair and preservation of
tires and tubes. Many men who COM
plete this course will be able to go out
in civil life and give to the automobile
tourist much more satisfactory serv-
Ice in the repair of tires and tubes
than can he obtained in MANY repair
shops in civil life today. While II is
not possible to give exact figures on
the saving to the government effected
through this department. it will run
into thousands of dollars. The old.
discarded tires are sent to Camp Hoa-
bird ia he used in Instruction conrsas.
