pleased us very much so we stayed
most of the evening"
They spent the following day on
the train enroute to Lucerne, in
Central Switzerland, where, after
dinner, the guide informed them
that there was a carnival in town.
Being Americans the boys didn't
take much urging on this point and
Sergeant Trovinger says of the
Swiss version: eve found that it was
much the same as a fair back home,
but without the hootchy-kootchy
shows, fortune tellers, etc. They had
various rides, side shows, games of
chance, shooting galleries, but no
hot dog stands, darn it,"
The next day was devoted to
shopping, and the evening, their last
in Switzerland, to strolling around
the town and along Lake Lucerne,
adjoining the city. They saw, of
course, the famous statue of the
Lion, carved from a solid rock
cliff.
Six o'clock the following morning
found the travellers on train en-
route to Chaisso, the customs and
the Italian border.
According to the sergeant our men
are receiving a warm welcome in
Switzerland. He said that they are
very friendly and hospitable and
that many people remark that they
are certainly glad that the Swiss
government is allowing these tours
of American soldiers.
"You should have seen the long
and sad faces when we pulled out
of Chiasso and went through the
tunnel into Italy! And that about
takes care of the highlights of the
trip. Naturally, there are lots of
little incidents and details, enough
to fill a book, but I'm afraid I'm not
very well fitted to start writing
DOCKS.

New Motor Law
On Auto Accidents
If Damage Exceeds $50 Ac-
cident Must Be Reported.

Questions are still coming into
Commissioner w. Lee Elgin's Office
concerning the new Motor Vehicle
Safety Responsibility Law. To make
the provisions of this law clearer to
the public, a few of the questions
are listed here, along with the
correct answers.
l. Q. When does Maryland's
new Safety Responsibility Law go
into effect?
A. January l, 1916.
2. Q. Do the provisions of the
new law apply to every motor We
hicle operator and owner?
A. Yes The Maryland Safety Re
sponsibility Law applies to every
driver and or owner operating on
Maryland Highways, including non
residents.
3. @. If I have an accident in
Maryland after January l, 1916,
what must l do?
A. If the accident results in per-
sonal injury or death to anyone or
damage to the property of either in
excess of $4,000, both must immedi-
ately report the accident, on the pre-
scribed form in full detail to the
Department of Motor Vehicles How
ever, no report is required if damage
to others property is less than
$4,000.
A. @. Not being a mechanic, how
will I know if the damage I have
done to another's property is less
than $4,000?
A. When in doubt, send report
to the Department of Motor We
hicles anyhow. You can seldom be
sure that the surface is all the loss.
S. @. Suppose I believe the
damage to be less than $4,000 but
the other car claims it is over this
amount What should we do?
A. You both should go immedi-
ately to competent mechanic. If
you fail to do this, but rely upon
your own judgment and not make
a report, the other party will report
the accident to the Department of
Motor Vehicles who will require you
to do likewise accompanied by the
necessary garage estimate.

With the opening of schools
thousands of children throughout
the State are at the mercy of the
motorist. Crossing and recrossing
the highways, boarding and leaving
their school busses they must ex-
pose themselves to the dangers of
the highways. Many of these
youngsters are not yet 6 years Of
age and in many instances have
never been out of sight of home.
For many of them the adjustment
of facing two direction traffic is an
exceedingly difficult one.

Sergeant Trovinger, who has been
in the Army for the past two years,
is attached to the Adjutant Generals
office in Caserta, Italy, a town that
doesn't compare favorably with
Switzerland, judging from the ser
geant's reaction on returning to it.
He writes,
We'll, here l am back in Caserta
again after trip to the land of
Paradise. It's like coming overseas
again! I arrived day before yester-
day, in the afternoon, after a rough
trip by train and truck down from
Milan. The only good thing about
returning to Caserta was the mail
that was waiting for me. There were
seventeen letters in all. -.
Il want to apologize for not writ
ing to you while l was gone, but
there were two good reasons for
that. We were on the move so much,
and there was so much to see, that
/ hardly had time to get the few post
cards off that l did and you have
to buy the stamps to mail letters in
Switzerland and that takes those
precious francs - and I do mean
precious. We were only allowed to
take IT'S francs ($40.80 American
money! with us into Switzerland
and that doesn't last long if you are
not careful. You'd be surprised to see
how fast that much goes in a place
like Switzerland.
Sergeant Trovinger and the rest
Of the CT party left Caserta by
truck for Rome on the first lap of
their tour. They stayed overnight
at a Rest Camp in Rome and pro-
ceeded by train through the stored
cities of Pisa, Florence, Bologna and
Verona, to Milan, where they stop
ped over night before entraining for
the Swiss border.
eve had late dinner down town
in Milan" Sergeant Trovinger re-
lates, land were then processed for
the trip-that is, we were issued
passports, had our tour selected, our
money exchanged for Swiss francs
and were oriented on how to con-
duct ourselves while in Switzerland
49,. With that completed we were
taken to our hotel in time for supper.
After supper we walked around
town bit taking in the sights,
which were not many. We decided to
get haircut in Milan and save the
money that it would cost in Swift
zerland.
After an early breakfast the men
boarded streamlined train for
what the sergeant describes as,
utopia, just IS miles away" His
letter then goes on:
Our first sight of Switzerland
was after we came out of a tunnel
l mile and half long. The little
town of Chaisso was our first stop,
where our passports and baggage
were checked by the Swiss Customs
Officers After that our different
tour groups split up and we boarded
Swiss trains. We were introduced to
our Swiss guides who would remain
with us throughout the trip. At the
same time we were given ration
stamps with which to purchase milk
and chocolate candy. -.
"But before I go any further I
had better explain a few things
about Switzerland. First, there are
three different languages spoken by
the people. There are German Chat
is the main one and is spoken by
all the people in the north, east and
central parts), French something
like 800 speak it in the western
part, along the French border), and
Italian, (the one least spoken, about

republic; there are no hot dogs Cor

carnivals, and while the country is
a paradise in most respects, a Swiss
