SOMETHING HE WON'T FORGET
Soldiers Fooiishness in Using His Mask Bag for Mail Pouch Nearly
 Cost Him His Life.

Don't carry anything in your gas mask bag that doesn't belong there. That Isn't general order, but the fruit of at least one mans experience.
 He had gone over the top on a pa trol- Somebody smelled gas; on went the masks. He bit Into it, clamped his nose on tight, and started to breathe. That fig, he tried to. For several ago nizing minutes he struggled to get wind through it. And then he found it was false alarm.
 Thanking his stars that it hadn't been real attack to be endared with q safety appliance that was as dan gerous as the German pizen itself, he went to his lieutenant at the first op- portunity and told him that the thing didn't work.
 The lieutenant looked at if.
 What's thisy' he asked.
 From the slot at the base of the respirator he drew q postcard that had stuck there.
 "Now try it.' he said.
 IL worked. That man isn't using his mask bag for mail pouch any more.- Stars and Stripes.
