OPERISCOPES
TOBE SOLD BY U.S..
Washington Gould View Pa
rades in Comfort With
Surplus Equipment.

One hundred and sixty thousand
rife psriscOpes have been declared
surplus by the ordnance department
Of the army, and will be offered for
sale to the public at reduced prices,
the War Department has announced.
The periscopes, which consist Of a
little mirror, incIOsed in q metal
case, were formerly used by the SOL
dieTs to see over the top OF the
trenches without exposing themselves
to the enemy. The mirrors were
fitted to the soldiers bayonet, fixed
on his rifle.
The War Department expects to
find a market for the periscopes in
the children's organizations, such as
the Boy Scouts
When first issued to the American
EXpeditionary Forces abroad, the
periscopes were used by the soldiers
as pocket mirrors. In fact, the
doUghboys thought a generous gov
eminent had been exceedingly kind
in furnishing them with metal pro-
tected mirrors for shaving. It was
some time before the real use Of the
periscopes became known.
