The bed measures about six feet
long by two and one-half feet wide.
The framework is made of any ma-

and the support Is wire netting or
sandbags securely nailed. The legs
stand about Is inches from the floor.
Where the men obtain the material
for their beds Is a mystery.
In the trenches. of course. no beds
are to be had. A waterproof sheet and
a single blanket usually suffice. In the
trench dugouts officers have straw to
sleep on. the utmost comfort they can

Recently in raids the boys brought
back some German machine guns, after
driving the Germans away from their

"Why not use these German guns
on the Heinies?' one thinking dough-
boy asked his pals.

"Why can't we go over and get
some?" replied the thinker.
"Never thought Of that" replied the
others; "we're on"
That night they raided the German
trenches and brought back plenty OF
ammunition and mother German ma
chine gun. Next day the guns were
playing on the "Heinies."
