After. dinner I tried to wash out the dixie with cold water and rag and learned another maxim of the trenches-fIt can't be done." I slyly watched one of the older men from another section, and was mortified t1 see him throw into his dixie four or five double handfuls of mud. Then he poured in some water, and with his hands secured the dixie inside and out. I thought he was taking an awful risk. Supposing the cook should have seen him! After half an hour of unsuc. cessful efforts returned my dixie to the cook shack, being careful to put on the cover, and returned to the billet.
