"San Marino Is situated botween
tho Italian provinces of Forll and
I'esaro-Urblno, In teh north of Italy,
near tho Adriatic coast, within reach
of big guns from thn sea. It lies
about twolvo miles southwest of Rl
mlnl, an Italian coast city, nnd well
within tho zone expound to hostllo
airship and aeroplano attack. Tho
republic hns ono town, which lies
townrd tho coast, about 115 miles
duo south of Venice
"Tho little stato has an area of 32
square miles, and n population of
noma1 12.000. Its terrlto'ry Is very
hilly, mountainous In tho neighbor
hood of Its city, whero tho Monte
Tltnno, nn offshoot of thn Apennines,
reaches tho highest elevation in tho
republic, that of 2flfi0 feet. Tho city
stands at tho south of this precipitous
rock, and Is iiholtorod under tho do
felines of tho mountain, whoso thren
pummlts nro crowned by fortlflcn
tlons. Theso strong positions, like
tho Hlnck mountain of tho Monten
egrins, have played a significant part
in tho preservation of tho republic
through tho centuries of war, an

Mrs. J. L. Thomdike lies nt Sac
red Heart hospital suffering from a
severe concussion of the brain, as tho
result of a motoroyclo accident on
North illvcrslde avenue Mpnday night
when the machine on which she was
riding crashed Into a buggy. Mrs.
Thorndlke wns rfdlng on the rear scat
and the driver was blinded by tho
headlights of an approaching auto
mobile. Dr. It. J. Conroy was called,
and rendered medical assistance. Her
condition was reported as serious,
with n fighting chance for life.
Tho matter was not reported to
the police. Mrs. Thorndlke and com
panion were riding on ono motorcyclo
nnd two friends were upon another
motorcycle. They wcro driving down
the tsreet sldo by Bldo when tho acci
dent occurred.
As tho result of tho accident, nnd
tho report to the authorities of sev

that tho city council at Its next moot

not be dazzling In their brightness.
In many cities, light dlmmora nro
placed on all nutos. According to
Chief lllttson. many drivers on tho

the road at tho approach of an auto
searchlight as a precautionary step.
