MANY USES FOR SANDBAG
8oldler Employ It In a Number ol
Waya Besides What It Is Offi
, daily Intended For. ;
The sandbag Is one of tho most use
ful pieces of. military equipment found
anywhere and Hie soldier puts It to
manifold uses. . Their official use, of
course, Is to be filled with sand or clii.v
and built Into ramparts, barricades
and trenches. Their. unolliclal uses ore
legion. ..
The Infantryman always uses a sand
bag for carrying and storing his ra
tions, for patching and rc-cnforclns
his clothing, for lining and curtaining
his - dugout, for mudllng mallets and
stakes when putting up wire In No
Man's Land. They' lhnko excellent gai
ters, being tied on over the puttees at
a further protection against mud and
damp. They make cozy mufflers In
bad wenther. They arc used to eovei
shrapnel helmets to prevent reflection,
and they are frequently in demand foi
rifle covers, v - . .:;
..Many soldiers aliyjiys pull two sand
bags over their feet and legs When go
ing to bed In billets ;' In other words
the sandbag Is Tommy's pajamas. The
warmth and comfort of a burlap sand
bag when pulled over chilled feet I'
astonishing.
The postman's ninllbng.at the front
Is nothing more than an empty sand
hag, and the water carriers also use
two sandbags, slung back and fron1
over the shoulder, each containing s
petrol tin full of water.
-"The war will be over," a sohllei
wit once said, "when all of Belgium
and France has been put Into sand
bags." . ... .,' ..
Birds Finally Agreed.
. A family of robins and a family o)
bluebirds are occupying tho same
house, something quite unusual In
bird lore. E. M. Cnshmnn, enretaket
of the Altoona (Pa.) reservoir, hoa re
ported. Mr. Cnshmnn has erected n num
ber of bird boxes on the watershed ami
he watches over his chnrges lovingly.
When Papa and Mnmnin Bluebird
enme north this spring they were hor
rified to And their usual cozy birdbox
was occupied. That Is, n pair of rob
ins, arriving a week earlier, had start
ed to build a nest on the tiny pnrcl!
of the house. A wordy battle started,
which lasted for several days. Thr
bluebirds wanted tho robins to move
The robins maintained their posi
tion. - And then, quite suddenly, hos
tilities ceased. Investigating, Mr. Cash
man found the bluebirds were build
Ing a nest Inside the box, while the
robins made themselves comfortable
on the porch. Then both mothers sul
on a nest of eggs.
